SPEAKER FOR TODAY
Pastor Simon Neo of Singapore Breakthrough Missions did not complete his primary school education. He joined the gangs at 14 and set up his own at 15. When he got tired of gangland violence he switched to hip rock music and hippy lifestyle and soon made a name for himself. At 16, he became hooked on drugs.
1976 : He repented and was saved by the grace of the Lord.
1977 : This was the turning point in his life. By the grace of Lord Jesus he overcame drug addiction as well as his many years of smoking and all vices and bad habits. He began to spread with great fervor and zeal the message of the grace of Jesus Christ’s salvation to drug addicts mired in pain, destitution and despair.
1981-85 : He received his theological training and graduated from Chin Lien Bible Seminary.
ANNOUNCEMENT

FMC ELDERLY CORNER
FMC’s Elderly Corner ministry has been actively reaching the seniors in the community for more than 15 years. We believe that the elderly are indeed a “a crown of glory, gained in a righteous life” Prov 16:31, and we want to be part of that journey.
Elderly Corner @Farrer Park RC
• We have partnered Farrer Park RC and have been organising monthly activities to engage the senior residents living there. Activities include handicraft, cooking, exercise and excursions.
Elderly Corner @Tekka RC
• With the relaxation of pandemic measures, we now have the opportunity to include Tekka RC as another partner and to serve the seniors there.
How can I help?
Elderly Corner @Tekka
• Monthly – Every 3rd Saturday (8.30am to 10am)
As we start the ministry with Tekka RC in September this year, we are looking for assistance for the ministry.

is a book that is not merely for reading. It is a book for studying so that it can be applied. Otherwise, it is like tasting food without swallowing and then spitting it back out again no nutritional value is gained. The Bible is God’s Word for Spiritual Growth…… We should read and study the Bible because:

Sermon Discussion Questions:
1. The love of Christ controls us – Whatever Paul did, he did because he loved Christ. This was the underlying motivation for his life.
i. Can you say the same thing about yourself?
ii. Does the love of Christ control you?
iii. What motivates you?
iv. What guides your major decisions?
v. Do you know of any “Zacchaeus” in church today ?
2. Paul wrote the letter addressed to the brethren in Philippi, while he was in prison in Rome. But yet in such times of uncertainty, instead of feeling lost, lonely and anxious, his heart was full of joy and thanksgiving. The letter carried words of gladness, anticipation and encouragement.
i. If you were in Paul’s position being wrongfully imprisoned, what kind of things would you write ?
ii. How did God use Paul’s imprisonment to work together for good?
iii. How can we use our own troubles to encourage other believers?
3. “Yet when I preach the gospel, I cannot boast, for I am compelled to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel.”
i. Is sharing the gospel an obligation or opportunity ?
ii. Why do you think Paul uttered “woe to me if I do not preach the gospel” ?
iii. What is your “woe” today ?
iv. Are you regularly sharing the gospel? When was the last time you shared with someone?
