Dearly beloved GPC family, during Sunday's sermon, we were asked to consider: If the church is not a safe place for the LGBTQ+ community, then where can they go? Who can they turn to? May it be our prayer to grow into a truly loving community, where people are loved enough to stay and loved enough to change.

Let us take time today to pray for the LGBTQ+ community, be it those around or amongst us; also for ourselves individually and as a church as we reach out in hospitality towards them. You are encouraged to pray by name for those whom you know. You may use the following suggested prayer points:

// Prayer for those who experience LGBTQ+ attraction
•⁠ That Christians who struggle with same-sex attraction will know that their identity is rooted in Christ rather than in their sexuality.
•⁠ That they will experience the assuring love of the heavenly Father instead of shame over their feelings of same-sex attraction.
•⁠ That they will grow in holiness (in other areas as well) by the help of the Holy Spirit and not give in to temptations to sin.
•⁠ That they will be able to find safe spaces in Christian community (deep spiritual friendships, spiritual mentors, etc.) to receive the needed companionship, support and guidance to journey alongside them.
•⁠ That God's word and Spirit will convict LGBTQ+ persons who enter into the church doors of the sin and harmfulness of homosexual relationships but also of His love for them.

// Prayer for ourselves
•⁠ That we will examine our hearts and attitudes towards the LGBTQ+, confessing any sinful or wrong stereotypes we hold towards them.
•⁠ That how we speak about the LGBTQ+ in all contexts will be respectful and recognise them as persons made in the image of God.
•⁠ That our interactions with the LGBTQ+ (regardless of how they feel about their sexuality) will be marked by love and truth instead of fear or condemnation.
•⁠ That we will humbly and patiently journey alongside those struggling with same-sex attraction, being willing to learn from their fight for holiness and confessing our own areas of brokenness.

// Prayer for the church
•⁠ That the church will be a community where LGBTQ+ persons can feel welcome and experience genuine friendship, not rejected nor avoided.
•⁠ That God will grant courage to those undergoing similar struggles to strengthen fellow brothers and sisters through their testimonies, prayer, presence and encouragement.
•⁠ That God's word will continue to be preached and taught faithfully without giving in to revisionist theologies, so that His truth will transform and set free from sin by the power of the Holy Spirit.
•⁠ That our hearts will continually be transformed by the gospel, freeing us as a church to be honest and open with our struggles with sin, be it same-sex attraction or not; that we may be committed to build up and encourage one another in love and grow as a church, sanctified by His Spirit.

Thank you for lifting up our church in prayer. May we continue to extend His radical hospitality to one another, so that we may all experience the blessedness of being welcomed into God's family, together!

React with a ❤️ when you've prayed 😌

Let's gather as God's beloved children this evening for our Church-wide Online Prayer (16 July). See you @ gpc.sg/joincwop (Zoom) from 8-9pm!

We thank God for the sisters in GPC, who have blessed the church with each of their lives, God-given gifts and personalities.

* For grace and wisdom to steward time faithfully while balancing work, family, and ministry.
* For God to stir and call more women to step forward in faith to serve in the Women's Ministry.

//Prayer for GPC Women

At our Church-Wide Online Prayer meeting on Thursday evening, Dn Zion shared on the devotion "Don't Give Up" based on the verse taken from Galatians 6:9. Persevere and stay faithful. God promises that in His perfect timing, your faithful efforts will bear fruit. We then prayed for the Women's Ministry. If you missed it, here is a recording of latest devotion and prayer points.
Come & Join us at our next CWOP on 6 August!

Dearly beloved GPC family, we rejoice in Christ as we once again have the blessing of welcoming those who will be formally joining our GPC family as members this Sunday. So let’s take time today whenever you're able to pray for them!

•⁠ Give thanks to God for working in each of their lives to draw them to Himself and bringing them into our church community.
•⁠ Pray that these new members will experience a greater connection to the church body as they build deeper relationships with fellow believers, bound together by the love and unity in Christ our Head.
•⁠ Pray for those undergoing adult baptism and confirmation, that along with the public confession of their faith, their lives may reflect increasing joy in following and obeying Christ as His disciples.

Let us also pray for ourselves and our church:
•⁠ As you witness how God has worked in the lives of others, recount and give thanks for how He has graciously brought you into the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, and how He continues to sustain and grow your faith.
•⁠ Pray that your own faith, love and service will be renewed as you reflect on the vows that you made before God and His church at your baptism or confirmation. Pray that God will help to prepare you for this step of faith if you are yet to be baptised or confirmed.
•⁠ Pray that we will be ready to take the initiative to form relationships and show hospitality to new members and also newcomers to make them feel welcome and connected in the body of Christ.
•⁠ Pray that all of us in GPC will be ready to avail our selves (time, energy, resources, talents) gladly and generously so that the body of Christ may continue to be built up in love.

Thank you for lifting up our church in prayer today. May we be blessed in encountering the Lord's presence in prayer! React with a ❤️ when you've prayed!

Dearly beloved GPC family, as we concluded our sermon series on practicing generous hospitality the past Sunday, we were reminded that welcoming others means going out to show them with the love of God, so that they too may know that God loves them. As we look forward to celebrating GPC's 145th anniversary this Sunday, let's pray that we will grow more and more to be a church that moves together towards others with the love of God.

Let's take time today to pray for our church, giving thanks to God for His faithfulness throughout the 145 years of our history and committing ourselves to a renewed obedience to His teaching and leading, so that our Triune God will be glorified through the church in the years to come. Here are some prayer pointers you may use to pray:

// For unity and mutual love
"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” John 13:34-35
•⁠ Pray that there will be a growing unity and love amongst all members of the church, including amongst the Chinese and English services. Pray that each member will have the mind of Christ, humbly considering others more significant than themselves, seeking each others' interest over their own.
•⁠ Pray that Christlike love for one another will grow to be a mark of our church, and all who come into our midst will see that God is truly amongst us, because of our love for one another.

// For a faith that is vibrant and active
"And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near." Hebrews 10:24-25
•⁠ Pray that members of the church, through their mutual fellowship with one another (through care groups, fellowship groups, spiritual friendships etc.) will seek to edify and encourage one another towards a deepening relationship with God, outflowing in good works performed in love towards others.
•⁠ Pray that members will encourage one another to take steps of obedience together to serve the community around us, witnessing and testifying of God's love and His gospel through word and deed.

// For steadfast obedience to and faithful stewardship of God's truths
"...the church of the living God, a pillar and buttress of the truth" 1 Timothy 3:15b
•⁠ Pray that in a time of increasing moral uncertainty and pressures in society, the church will remain discerning and uncompromising on learning and living God's truths, in order that the life and light of Christ may shine through His church in amidst spiritual darkness.
•⁠ Pray for wisdom, love and intentionality in discipling the next generations, such that they will come to genuine faith and a true knowledge of God, through His word and the lives of His people. Pray for the whole church to recognise this discipleship as a corporate responsibility where each member has a part to play.

Thank you for lifting up our church in prayer. May God continue to be gracious to us as He has been all these years. May He help us be His faithful and compassionate church, loving as He first loved us. To God be the glory forever, amen.

React with a ❤️ when you've prayed 😌

Dearly beloved GPC, having celebrated our church's 145th anniversary this past Sunday, let's continue to thank God for His goodness and faithfulness towards us, as we also approach our nation's 61st birthday.

Let's take time today to lift up our nation and the Singapore church before God. Here are some suggested prayer points you can use:

// For Singapore and its leaders
- Give thanks for the stability and progress that God has blessed Singapore with over the years since her independence.
* Pray for God to continue raising up God-fearing leaders who will serve the needs of the people with compassion and integrity, and for continued wisdom to govern the nation amidst increasing global challenges.
* Pray for our society to be one that grows in compassion for those in need and less fortunate, seeking the common good rather than only pursuing gain for one's own interests.
* Pray that religious freedom and harmony will continue to be upheld by the government and respectfully practised amongst the people.

//For the Singapore Church
* Give thanks for the work of mission schools and campus ministries in evangelism and discipleship, and for the privilege to participate in God's mission in raising and sending missionaries out into the global mission field.
* Pray that the Church will be salt and light in the world, being effective witnesses for Jesus through transformed living rather than conformity to the surrounding culture.
* Pray that Christ's sacrificial love will be seen through the Church's sacrificial service to those in need amongst her and in the society, and that love and unity among churches will reveal Christ as our Lord.
* Pray against materialism, performance and legalism from seeping into the Church, and that grace, truth and love for Christ would not only be preached but be exemplified in the lives of believers and in their homes.
* Pray for the Holy Spirit to empower the Church's outreach to unbelievers and those who have not heard the gospel, as well as continued zeal for missions. Pray that individual believers would courageously share the gospel with their non-believing family, friends, co-workers etc.

Thank you for praying for Singapore. React with a ❤️ when you've prayed!
