Gladys will be informing the groups and people affected by these changes. All other CGs will remained unchanged. The groupings will be officially shown during YAM this Sunday.

The first frames in our imaginative slide show probably depict mayhem on a massive scale: Widespread violence, deviant sexualities, pornography in every vending machine, churches closed down and worshipers dragged off to City Hall. Over a half-century ago, Donald Grey Barnhouse, pastor of Philadelphia's Tenth Presbyterian Church, gave his CBS radio audience a different picture of what it would look like if Satan took control of a town in America. He said that all of the bars and pool halls would be closed, pornography banished, pristine streets and sidewalks would be occupied by tidy pedestrians who smiled at each other. There would be no swearing. The kids would answer "Yes, sir," "No, ma'am," and the churches would be full on Sunday ... where Christ is not preached.] I then started to wonder: would there be a day where KPC will have powerful and lively worship services packed with lots of warm-loving people. Sundays will be bustling with wholesome events and activities organised for people of all ages. Various needs of all members will be well-taken care of by the church ministries. Many mission teams will be sent out to rebuild schools and hospitals in 3rd world countries. The church leadership and members are of one voice and unity. People contribute generously to the church general and mission funds. Just one thing is lacking: Christ is not preached. When everything else seems to go smoothly, and just this one thing is missing, what will our reaction be? Will we all sit back and relax and pretend it does not matter, or we will be disturbed and alarmed? It can be quite scary sometimes to know the truth. -Andrew @ 9:47 PM by Unknown 0 comments Sunday, April 12, 2009 ( YAM Updates for weekending 19 April 2009 ) Hi everyone, The format for future YAM sessions on Sundays will consist of worship, sermons/messages by Pastor Joshua or other speakers, followed by discussion sessions in your individual Care Groups. In order to facilitate such a process, it’d be good if you could attend the YAM events on Sundays, not only to listen and learn, but also to encourage and share with one another. Exams for students in the universities are just round the corner, so do continue to keep these people in prayer and to encourage each other to pull through this final lap before the long holidays. Anyway, here’re the updates for this week: 1) Prayer Meeting Time: 7.30 pm (weekly) Day: Wednesday, 15 April Venue: KPC Level 3 Library or otherwise stated Point of Contact – Please indicate your attendance by Tuesday (leave a comment on the blog!), so we’ll know how many people to expect. 2) CBSI resumes Time: 8 pm Day: Friday, 17 April Venue: KPC Sanctuary Point of Contact – Your Group Discussion Leaders 3) National Servicemen Biblestudy – Group for full-time NS men Time: 9.30 to 10.30 am Day: Sunday, 19 April 2009 Venue: KPC Level 1 MPH Point of Contact – Uncle Michael (96615047) 4) YAM Servants’ Team Meeting Time: 3.30 pm Day: Sunday, 19 April 2009 Venue: KPC Level 3 Classroom 5) YAM Service on Westminster Confession of Faith (Last Session) Time: 1.30 pm Day: Sunday, 26 April 2009 Venue: KPC Auditorium Point of Contact: The Servants’ Team!

My old slave-master. Have you come to talk to me again? To frighten me? I am not the person you think I am. I am not the one you used to talk to. Something has happened. Let me ask you a question, Death. Where is your sting? DEATH, sneeringly: My sting is your sin. CHRISTIAN: I know that, Death. But that’s not what I asked you. I asked, where is your sting? I know what it is. But tell me where it is. Why are you fidgeting, Death? Why are you looking away? Why are you turning to go? Wait, Death, you have not answered my question. Where is your sting? Where is, my sin? What? You have no answer? But, Death, why do you have no answer? How will you terrify me, if you have no answer? O Death, I will tell you the answer. Where is your sting? Where is my sin? It is hanging on that tree. God made Christ to be sin—my sin. When he died, the penalty of my sin was paid. The power of it was broken. I bear it no more. Farewell, Death. You need not show up here again to frighten me. God will tell you when to come next time. And when you come, you will be his servant. For me, you will have no sting. O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
