ESSENTIALINFORMATION

SCRIPTURE MEDITATION2 TIMOTHY 4:2-5 (NKJV)Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

PRAYER FOCUSThat we are a people who watch and pray. MATTHEW 26:41 (NKJV)Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

TITHES AND OFFERINGSTithes and offerings are collected at every worship service. For cheques, write “BBTC”. To tithe via bank transfer, use OCBC 591-006432-001, bank code: 7339, branch code: 591.
