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.

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.
