Dashed expectations
Everyone experiences dashed expectations. We expect things to finish one way, but they turn out completely different. Today on “Discover the Word,” we will discuss how the Jewish people had trouble accepting Jesus as the Messiah because they expected Him to come as a conquering king. Instead, He came as a suffering servant. Join the discussion today on “Discover the Word”!
What is the Mark of A Great Man?
Exactly a year ago, my country lost a remarkable man. Mr Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore’s founding prime minister, passed away at the age of 91 on 23 March, 2015, after battling severe pneumonia.
Stories in a Cabin
The vintage cabin, expertly constructed from hand-hewn logs, was worthy of a magazine cover. But the structure itself was only half the treasure. Inside, family heirlooms clung to the walls, infusing the home with memories. On the table sat a hand-woven egg basket, an ancient biscuit board, and an oil lamp. A weathered pork pie hat perched over the front door. “There’s a story behind everything,” the proud owner said.

Touching the lives of those around us
This week, we’re remembering how Jesus came to earth and died on the cross for our sins. But today on “Discover the Word,” we will discuss how part of Jesus’s mission was also to touch the lives of people in front of Him, day by day, moment by moment. And that’s our mission too, it’s all part of fulfilling the work He’s called us to do. An insightful conversation today on “Discover the Word”!
At times I find myself complaining, I tend to cover one of my eyes with my hand then I stop making a fuss.
My father lost his one eye because of an accident, he lost his hearing on his left ear because of sickness, he was operated and lost his appendix, and he almost lost his voice (now he barely talks loud) because he almost got drowned. Despite all of those he lost, I never saw him complain or question God. Instead, He always praises God when He looks back to his life.
Hard times come to test our endurance. God wants to see whether we will still praise Him in any season of our lives. And yes, blessed are those who love Him when lack and trials turn up.
