The Parables of Jesus

A 7-lecture series organised by GPC CWBS.

Through examining the background and framework of Jesus' parables, especially the connection with the theme of the Kingdom of God and the fulfillment of the Old Testament, this seven-week course seeks to help participants appreciate the meaning and impact of Jesus' parables and to apply them for present-day Christian living.   

 

The lectures will be delivered by Dr Tan Kim Huat, the Chen Su Lan Professor of New Testament at Trinity Theological College, over 7 Wednesday nights (2 July to 13 Aug 2024) at the Chapel from 7.45pm to 9.45pm.

 

All are welcome to attend. To register, visit https://gpc.sg/cwbs-parables-lectures.

Church Wide Bible Study - Book of Acts

 

The disciple Luke addressed both his Gospel (Gospel of Luke) and the book of Acts to Theophilus, a notable Greek. Luke’s Gospel begins with a prologue, and Acts begins with a transitional paragraph. These links make it clear they are two volumes of the same narrative. Where the Gospel of Luke ends with Jesus returning to heaven, Acts begins with the promised coming of the Holy Spirit to continue God’s relationship with His children. The book of Acts shows us what a relationship with the Holy Spirit looks like. It reveals the astounding possibilities of a life empowered by Him, continuing the work Jesus had begun.

 

Resuming on12 Feb 2025, this study on the book of Acts will help us see that it is the Holy Spirit who communicates God’s plans, empowering His children to carry out His purposes for the world.
