CORPORATE PRAYER

 December 2024

As we step into a new month, let’s unite in prayer, lifting our hearts together as a church family. Let these prayer points guide your time with God, both personally and for our church:

1. A Deep Hunger for God  

Pray that each of us will grow in a deep desire for God—seeking Him daily in prayer and walking closely in obedience to His Word. May we continually long to know Him more and live out His truth in our lives.

2. Keep the Fire Burning

Let’s ask God to keep the flame of our spiritual passion alive! Pray for a vibrant and ever-growing fervor for the Lord in our hearts, that we may serve Him with joy and zeal every day.

3. A Thriving Church Family

Pray for our church family to be a place where love flourishes and healthy relationships are nurtured. May we support, care, and love one another, becoming a powerful witness to our community of the love of Christ.

4. A Blazing Community Filled with the Spirit  

Let’s ask the Holy Spirit to fill each one of us afresh! Pray that we would be “God’s blazing community,” with every member walking in obedience and empowered for service by the Spirit—reflecting Christ not just in words, but also in our daily lives.

OUTREACH MINISTRY

Outreach Prayer December 2024

Dearest friends and co-labourers of God, I greet you in the Name of Jesus Christ our Saviour. Please pray along with me:

O God our Heavenly Father, we want to thank you and praise you for allowing us to partner with you in bringing your joy, your peace, your love, and your hope to the people in our community this Christmas season. You have given us the mandate to love our neighbours. You have also given us the mandate to do good works. And yet, you also open the doors for us and give us the opportunities to make sure that we can carry out the mandate. You have shown us who in our community need to know you, need to know your Son Jesus Christ, and who need to be convicted by your Holy Spirit to want to receive and enter your Kingdom. This Christmas, O God, we want to be like the shepherds in the fields of Bethlehem – spreading the word concerning what had been told them about Jesus.

We pray for the smooth running of the Christmas Block Blessing at the Lor Ah Soo and Blk 208A Woodleigh Link blocks. We thank you for the quick and enthusiastic responses from the cell groups and individuals who participated in the Block Blessing. We thank you for your provision of the goody bags that we brought to the families. We thank you for those cell group members who helped to pack the goody bags, wanting to be part of the Christmas Outreach even though they were unable to travel to Lor Ah Soo. We pray that the families and households we reach out to will respond to our invitation to our Christmas Services and also our regular Worship Services thereafter. And for those who do come, O God, we ask that you fill their hearts with your love and with a knowledge of you. We pray that they will turn to you and be willing to give their lives to Jesus.

We also pray for the families whom we regularly reach out to in Blk 999A Buangkok Crescent, Blk 223A Serangoon Ave 4, Blk 8 Lor Lew Lian, those in Blks 201-210 Serangoon Central, Hope Student Care Centre, our Migrant Worker friends whom we have befriended during the Street Ministry in the Shaw Road area, and the elderly residents and nursing staff in ECON Medicare Centre Recreation Road. We will also be blessing them with the same Blessing Bags, and opening the same invitation to our Christmas Services. As we do this ground work in partnership with you, we ask, Heavenly Father, that you work the miracles in touching their hearts and reaching into places we cannot reach – helping each and every one of them to decide to want to receive your Son Jesus Christ into their lives and to enter your Kingdom.

We pray for the Friends Of Jesus, the homeless and rough sleepers who are still without homes. We ask that you watch over them and protect them, and that they will find sufficient shelter from the monsoon rains. We pray that those who have family issues will find reconciliation with their family members and that they will eventually be able to go home or find a home to live in. Still, we know that you have pointed them out to us, Lord God. So, we will continue to minister to them and to love them. Help them to receive this love willingly and realise that this love actually comes from you.

We ask all for all these things in Jesus’ most holy and precious name. Amen!

MANDARIN SERVICE

 以弗所书4：1-3 

因此，我这为主被囚禁的劝你们：行事为人，要配得上你们所蒙的呼召，凡事谦虚、温柔、忍耐，用爱心彼此宽容；以和睦联系，竭力持守圣灵所赐的合一。

 

约翰福音13：34-35

我给你们一条新命令，就是要你们彼此相爱；我怎样爱你们，你们也要怎样彼此相爱。如果你们彼此相爱，众人就会认出你们是我的门徒了。

 

 
  • 愿主加添我们的力量，使我们的生命得以更新，向这世界活出改变的生命，见证复活基督的大能。
  • 愿主帮助我们，使活石的弟兄姐妹在主里更加彼此宽容，彼此相爱，使人看出我们是主的门徒。
  • 愿主继续祝福新加坡，带领新加坡走在合主心意的道路，使新加坡能够成为主在这区域祝福列国的管道，让更多人看到并接受主的恩典。
