The Methodist Church in Singapore

As demands on worship grow, we are reminded to keep on rising from the dead so that worship continues to transform lives. Worship is more than what happens on Sunday — it is a living encounter with God that shapes how we care, serve, and embody Christ’s humanity throughout the week.

As we begin this week, may we seek wisdom that goes beyond the surface — uniting truth with love, and learning with holiness. Charles Wesley’s hymn reminds us that education is more than facts; it is the shaping of hearts and minds. True learning helps us flourish in knowledge while being formed for heaven. 📸: @thebirdingdude (IG) #MethodistMonday

The September issue of Methodist Message is out! • The sacred work of church communications With communication platforms flourishing in the digital space, how do we navigate the needs of both our young and older church members, yet still serve our purpose as a ministry? • Building the Lord's media army When Joash Lee pursued photography as a career, then started volunteering in his church's media team, he did not realise God had plans for him to build a media army for kingdom work. Read on to hear Joash's thoughts on media and communications work for the Church. • Does the Church recognise the complexities of suicide? While leaders are now more aware of the complex circumstances accompanying the act of suicide, does it mean that the Church has to compromise its teachings of Scripture on this matter?

How do we communicate God’s heart today? Bishop Philip Lim reflects on the role of church communications, especially in our digital age.

On Methodist Monday this week, John Wesley reminds us of Galatians 6:10, "So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith." May we do all the good we can and glorify our Father in heaven. #methodistmonday

This week, on Methodist Monday, Charles Wesley’s hymn reminds us that true Christian living is not about escaping the world, but finding God’s presence in the midst of our daily work. Every task—big or small—becomes worship when done for the Lord. As we serve, may we find joy in His will, peace in His presence, and strength to walk faithfully with hands that work diligently and hearts that rest in Him. #MethodistMonday

Many of us carry guilt when we pause to rest — whether from serving, caring for others, studying, or working. But true rest is a gift from God, and it is something we are called to embrace intentionally. As Christians, may we grow a church and community where it is safe to slow down, where we care for one another with grace, and where rest is celebrated as an act of trust in the God who sustains us.

“Christians go to church on Sundays.” In this statement, the word “church” refers to a building used for public Christian worship; it is a noun. When we say, “Let’s build a church!”, do we mean constructing a physical structure? Or do we mean strengthening the faith of an assembly of believers? What do we really mean by “church”?
