Wesley celebrated its 124th anniversary and the wind ensemble was decked in black with a gold sash. Check out how Becca and I look with our signature black and gold instruments too. :)
What struck me even more was the sermon that was delivered by the Rev Dr Wee Boon Hup based on Col 1:9-14 entitled "Not lost in translation". The words in the scripture passage in bold below jumped out at me and again I was reminded that God's kingdom is also here and now and we must seek to be aligned with God's will, to increase in the knowledge of God and to live a life that is worthy of Him, being fruitful in every good work. It seems like a tall order - God help me and Holy Spirit, please take over...
9 For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10 that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11 strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; 12 giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. 13 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.
