Title: Peace In A Divided World
Text: Ephesians 2:14-18

While Christmas fills the air with a sense of peace, Ephesians 2:14-18 reminds us that true and lasting peace is not a feeling but a Person—Jesus Christ. He reconciled us to God through the cross, tore down dividing walls between people, and calls us not only to receive His peace but to live as peacemakers who make room for others as the river of God’s peace flows through obedient, reconciled hearts.”

Title: Rest In A Weary World
Text: Isaiah 40:27-31

The chaos and challenges we face in this world often drain us out and leave us feeling tired and discouraged. Through Isaiah 40, what can we learn about finding real rest for our weary souls?

Christmas season is a time where everyone looks forward to receiving gifts. But Christmas isn’t about physical gifts. Its essence lies in the fact that God sent His one and only Son as a gift to the whole humankind. Come explore the different gifts that God has given to His people.

Series: Songs For All Seasons
Title: When We Look To Christ
Text: Psalm 110

When battles seem unending and we feel defeated by life’s setbacks, Psalm 110 lifts our eyes to Christ, the exalted King and eternal Priest, who rules with all authority and will one day judge with perfect righteousness. Even when victory feels distant, this psalm assures us that in Jesus, God has already secured our final triumph.

The birth of Jesus brought hope to the Israelites that their God heard their cries and fulfilled His promise to them.
God is still faithful to us in the challenging times we live in today.
This Christmas, discover and celebrate the promises God has given us through Christ!

Encounter God’s Presence in our worship service. Learn how we can wield praise as a weapon; to declare God’s power and nature in the face of seemingly impossible circumstances.

Title: Celebrate Jesus
Text: John 12:12-19 (main text), John 12:37-43 (sub text)

We can truly celebrate Jesus only when we have the right understanding of who He is. Jesus may not be the Saviour we expected or wanted, but He is the Saviour we need.

Perspective Questions:

  1. Reflecting on your life, when did God’s promises (or your hope regarding God’s promises) turn out to be different from what you expected? What helps you to trust in God when your expectations are at odds with what He wants to do?

  2. What were some difficult circumstances that you went through where you later realized that God was doing something important through them? What was God doing? How have these experiences affected the way you look at the challenges you face?

  3. Think back over your relationship with Christ. In what ways has your understanding and expectations of Christ changed over the years to align more appropriately with who He truly is? 

Application Questions:

  1. Jesus may not be the Saviour we expected or wanted, but He is the Saviour we need. How does this understanding affect the way we share the Gospel? 

  2. How can we grow in our conviction to share the Gospel with people who need the Saviour? What are some ways we can partner our LG members to spread the Gospel this Easter? 

The Jesus of Easter claimed He’s the answer to all these bigger questions of life.

This Easter, we are inviting you to consider Jesus, just like the billions of others who have considered and lived their entire lives with Jesus at the centre. 

When Jesus came to Jerusalem, crowds of people laid palm leaves and cheered enthusiastically to welcome Him. The same crowd turned against Him just a few days later.

As we celebrate Jesus this Palm Sunday, learn how we can have steadfast faith in Him despite the fickleness of our human nature.
