So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea,
to Bethlehem, the town of David, because he belonged
to the house and line of David. Luke 2:4

Our minds would push us to think about how small and insignificant we are. Let us reflect on Bethlehem, the birthplace of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Below are four mindset lessons we can learn from Bethlehem.

  1. God has bigger and brighter plans for us, individually and as a church.

  2. Think of what our Almighty God can do and not what you/we can’t do.

  3. The LORD looks at the heart. (1 Samuel 16:7)

  4. Humble obedience to God is the primary key. (Remember T.A.O. – Trust and Obey?)

We will hold a regular worship service on Sunday, 24 December. We will sing Christmas carols at the Sandringham House at 2:30 PM.

Please note that the “Family Shared Lunch” is for those families and individuals whose kin and friends are far away and celebrating alone. Nevertheless, feel free to come and join with your visiting relatives if you want.

We are holding the “Family Shared Lunch” at OBC, weather permitting, in our backyard. 🙂
