When An End Is Not The End - Difficult Prayers
2023-10-28 09:00 - 12:00
Date: 28 October 2023 (Saturday)
Time: 9.00 am to 12.00 pm
Speaker: Dr Leow Theng Huat
Venue: CMC
We sometimes have to make difficult prayers, like when we pray for those suffering from severe debilitating illnesses. What should we pray for—healing or that God would take them home? What if the person is not a Christian? How do the notions of God’s sovereignty and our human responsibility to pray affect the outcome of the situations we face? This session will offer some perspectives on how to undertake such difficult prayers.
About our Speaker:
Dr Leow Theng Huat is a lecturer of theology at Trinity Theological College. He is married to Cheng Ping, and the couple has three children. The family are members of Wesley Methodist Church.

When An End Is Not The End
A Series of Talks on Death, Loss and Grief.
What happens when someone dies?
Is it wrong for Christians to fear death?
How do we pray difficult prayers?
How do we deal with loss and grief?
Are we prepared when the inevitable happens?
The subject of death can be difficult and even frightening for some. It is an inevitable part of life yet poorly understood and rarely talked about, especially in our Asian culture. The Christian faith, however, has something distinctive and hopeful to offer. Come and hear from spiritual leaders and medical professionals as they speak on death, loss, and grief. Be equipped to face the inevitable and to lend support to others. Knowing what the Bible teaches about these topics should also motivate us to live today in preparation for the hereafter.

8 & 15 July – Loss & Grief
19 August – Panel Discussion: Advance Medical Directive
28 October – Difficult Prayers

8.8 Overnight Prayer: Pursue The Annointing
2024-08-08 20:00 - 2024-08-09 08:00
Date & Time: 8 August, 8.00 pm to 9 August, 8.00 am
Venue: Level 2, Sanctuary
1 Corinthians 2:4–5 (ESV):
“and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.”
The theme of this year’s 8/8 Overnight Prayer is ”Pursue the Anointing!” (1Cor.2:4,5). As we grow deeper in our walk with God, faith and ministry,
God takes us further in all of these three aspects too.
1. We go further in our walk with Him into things we have not experienced before.
2. Our faith is further stretched and tested.
3. And our ministry reach goes further too into places we never thought possible before.
To go further and eventually to accomplish greater things, we cannot do it by our own strength and ability, we need the anointing – God’s supernatural power to be at work in us, through us and for us so He may be made known and truly glorified! We are thankful to God for saving us and we have offered ourselves to serve Him wholeheartedly and that’s just the beginning.
Now, it is time to go further and accomplish greater things. It is time to ask God to fill us with the Holy Spirit, to empower and activate us for ministry and to be His witnesses. It is time to pursue His anointing so that the faith of people we minister to and the people we reach might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God!
Come to this year’s 8/8 Overnight Prayer (8pm, 8 of August to 8am, 9 of August) to worship God and ask for His anointing and be activated! Let’s pursue the anointing together!
Please bring along the following:
– Bible
– Notebook / Writing Materials
– Water bottle (can be refilled at water coolers)
– Light Jacket /Sweater
– Toiletries (e.g., facial wipes, mouthwash)
– Anything else that will keep you comfortable

Time: 10.00 am to 12.00 pm

Too often we misunderstand our biological and spiritual family members’ intentions in our communication and interaction. Many factors contribute to such challenges in inter-generational interaction. Understanding how we develop at every stage of our lives will give us awareness and, more importantly, wisdom and discernment to understand where our loved ones come from. Human developmental stage knowledge helps us to respond with love and grace to each other more naturally and effectively.
