Decided to visit Barker Road Methodist Church instead going to homechurch. PArtly because 8 am for service is kinda impossible, partly I wanted to hear Rev Malcolm Tan, my former pastor. If not for him, my wife would not be so ready to come over to Faith MC.

It is refreshing to hear from him again. He is always able to balance good Bible exposition, tradition from history and application. He started with the hymn, Rock of Ages, Cleft for me, a hymn I used to our honey album and also my son's name (Zuriel = The Lord is my Rock and Foundation). The key references were God showing His glory to Moses and Moses had to hide between a cleft, Moses striking the rock for water to gush out for the angry Israelites.

The message reminded me that God, the Rock, not only protect but provide salvation from the double curse of sin - guilt and bondage. And it was through the flowing of water and blood from his Son's side.

Thanks be to God!
