Walking With God

The Word of God sustains and nourishes us to grow in Him. It gives us the food we need to deepen our faith and be more like Christ.

As Disciples@TPMC, we also need to nourish our minds with the right teachings and knowledge. Below are some resources to help you grow as a disciple.

Bishop Emeritus Robert Solomon was the bishop of the Methodist Church in Singapore (MCS) from 2000-2012. He has also served as a medical doctor, pastor, seminary lecturer, president of an annual conference within MCS, and president of the National Council of Churches in Singapore. Dr Solomon has written more than 60 books, not including articles in journals and theological dictionaries.

In his book Apprenticed to Jesus: Learning from Him, Living Like Him, he teaches us how to live as Jesus’s disciples today. It shines a light on many questions surrounding the Christian’s relationship with the Lord, and will help readers better hear, follow and live like Him in every part of life’s journey.

Read Ms Rachel Yau’s reflections and thoughts after reading the book. She has been a member of our church since 2020.

One of the resources our church has picked to use as a guide towards being a discipleship church is Radical Discipleship by Rev Edmund Chan. Our lay leader Kenneth Yeo shares his review and reflections of the book.

Serve One Another

Jesus said: “…the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve”;  and demonstrated this on the eve of His crucifixion, by washing His disciples’ feet.

If even our Lord and Master served, then we, as His disciples, should unquestionably do so too. That is the premise behind our church’s focus to Serve One Another.

Serving might be new to many of us, so our Discipleship & Nurture Ministry has prepared something to spur us on. These articles will show what it means to serve, and illustrate how we ourselves can be blessed as we Serve One Another. Click on the links in the articles to find out more about the areas you can start serving in.

Feel free to share these articles with your churchmates, or even those outside of Toa Payoh Methodist Church, so everyone can be blessed by them.

CAREER OR GOD?

We all strive to build a good career for ourselves because we need it to pay for the bills, support our families, and provide for the lifestyle we’re used to. There is nothing wrong in that because the Bible tells us not to be idle but to work hard with all our heart. However, it also adds on to say we are to do it unto God, not unto our human masters.

How then do we, as Christians, balance being career-minded and Christ-centred?

TPMC member Xu Wenshan explored this by speaking to some of our other members as they shared their experiences and some ideas for us to think about.
