This year’s camp theme is aligned with the 2012 church theme, which is “Growing To Christ-Like Maturity”. We thank God for journey mercies, and for providing His servant, Rev Dr Quek Suan Yew to minister to the campers. Over the five days (April 9-13), campers were able to feed on God’s Word, and to be challenged by questions in applying what was learnt.</p> <p><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/Bethel2012Camp-GrowingToChristLikeMaturity"><img src="/assets/2008/4/4/rssticker32x32.png" alt="" /> Subscribe as a Podcast</a></p>

During the five day camp, Rev Dr Quek Suan Yew covered Ephesians chapter 4, which instructs the believer to “walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called”, with specific instructions of how one is to mature to be Christ-Like. A total of 8 messages was delivered. In conjunction with the messages, campers were challenged with a range of discussion questions to apply the truth that they have learnt.</p> <p><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/Bethel2012Camp-GrowingToChristLikeMaturity"><img src="/assets/2008/4/4/rssticker32x32.png" alt="" /> Subscribe as a Podcast</a></p> <table> <tr> <th>Message </th> <th>Download Audio </th> </tr> <tr> <td> Message 1 – By Walking Worthily </td> <td> <a href="http://2012bethelchurchcampmessages.s3.amazonaws.com/01_Message1-By_Walking_Worthily.mp3"><img src="/assets/2007/7/30/mp3Icon.gif" alt="" /> Download Audio – 58.5 MB</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Message 2 – God’s Salvation Plan </td> <td> <a href="http://2012bethelchurchcampmessages.s3.amazonaws.com/02_Message2-Gods_Salvation_Plan.mp3"><img src="/assets/2007/7/30/mp3Icon.gif" alt="" /> Download Audio – 56.8 MB</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Message 3 – Manner of Growth </td> <td> <a href="http://2012bethelchurchcampmessages.s3.amazonaws.com/03_Message3-Manner_of_Growth.mp3"><img src="/assets/2007/7/30/mp3Icon.gif" alt="" /> Download Audio – 58.5 MB</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Message 4 – Climate of Growth </td> <td> <a href="http://2012bethelchurchcampmessages.s3.amazonaws.com/05_Message4-Climate_of_Growth.mp3"><img src="/assets/2007/7/30/mp3Icon.gif" alt="" /> Download Audio – 63.9 MB</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Message 5 – Evidence of the Old Man </td> <td> <a href="http://2012bethelchurchcampmessages.s3.amazonaws.com/06_Message5-Evidence_of_the_Old_Man.mp3"><img src="/assets/2007/7/30/mp3Icon.gif" alt="" /> Download Audio – 62.5 MB</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Message 6 – Evidenced by a New Mind </td> <td> <a href="http://2012bethelchurchcampmessages.s3.amazonaws.com/08_Message6-Evidenced_by_a_New_Mind.mp3"><img src="/assets/2007/7/30/mp3Icon.gif" alt="" /> Download Audio – 55.6 MB</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Message 7 – Evidence of the New Man </td> <td> <a href="http://2012bethelchurchcampmessages.s3.amazonaws.com/09_Message7-Evidence_of_the_New_Man.mp3"><img src="/assets/2007/7/30/mp3Icon.gif" alt="" /> Download Audio – 64.1 MB</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Message 8 – Evidence by New Relationships </td> <td> <a href="http://2012bethelchurchcampmessages.s3.amazonaws.com/11_Message8-Evidence_by_New_Relationships.mp3"><img src="/assets/2007/7/30/mp3Icon.gif" alt="" /> Download Audio – 54.1 MB</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Q and A Session 1 </td> <td> <a href="http://2012bethelchurchcampmessages.s3.amazonaws.com/04_Q_and_A_Session_1.mp3"><img src="/assets/2007/7/30/mp3Icon.gif" alt="" /> Download Audio – 19.4 MB</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Q and A Session 2 </td> <td> <a href="http://2012bethelchurchcampmessages.s3.amazonaws.com/07_Q_and_A_Session_2.mp3"><img src="/assets/2007/7/30/mp3Icon.gif" alt="" /> Download Audio – 31.7 MB</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Q and A Session 3 </td> <td> <a href="http://2012bethelchurchcampmessages.s3.amazonaws.com/10_Q_and_A_Session_3.mp3"><img src="/assets/2007/7/30/mp3Icon.gif" alt="" /> Download Audio – 19.8 MB</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Q and A Session 4 </td> <td> <a href="http://2012bethelchurchcampmessages.s3.amazonaws.com/12_Q_and_A_Session_4.mp3"><img src="/assets/2007/7/30/mp3Icon.gif" alt="" /> Download Audio – 20.0 MB</a> </td> </tr> </table> jasonn tag:www.bethelbpc.com.au,2012-03-05:165 2012-03-05T12:42:00Z 2012-05-07T06:24:26Z

<p><img title="Ezra" src="/assets/2012/3/5/Ezra.png" alt="Ezra" /></p> <p>The opening verses of Ezra 1:1, 2 are identical with the last two verses of 2 Chronicles 36:22, 23. This shows continuity of the two books. However, there was a gap of seventy years between them. In this way, the writers of the books intimate that God continued to work out His plan and purposes in and through Israel.1 The study of Ezra shows that the <span class="caps">LORD</span> God is able to move the hearts of kings and use them as instruments to remind us that He is true to His plans and promises. The book also teaches how God’s chosen people can gain victory through faithful perseverance and obedience to Him. We are living in “an age of experienced-centred, clap-happy worship and entertainment-orientated” approach to God. The book demonstrates to us that God is holy and that He demands reverent worship and uncompromising loyalty from His people. In addition the lives of the faithful individuals in the book inspire anyone who wants to live a victorious Christian life. It also points to the need for constant spiritual renewal in the lives of God’s people. We will also see that God always has the right man for the specific needs of His people at the right time, namely, Zerubbabel the governor, Jeshua the high priest, and Ezra the scribe.</p> <p>Pastor Rev.

We are most thankful to the Lord for bringing together Rev Quek, Rev Koshy, Rev Stone and Rev Nguyen for the ordination service. The Lord has been most gracious and providential in bringing Paul Cheng and his family here to Melbourne to minister to the flock at Bethel.</p> <p>May the Lord be with Rev Paul Cheng as he serves Him as His servant.</p> <p>Below is a reproduction of brother Paul’s testimony as printed in the Pastoral Chat.</p> <hr /> <p>My dear Bethelites,</p> <p>Since 2004, Bethelites had prayed for an Assistant Pastor who will be able to carry on the pastoral care of the church. It was not until 2008 that the Lord answered our prayers in a mysterious way. I had to undergo a triple by-pass heart surgery which resulted in a need for a preacher to take the pulpit ministry and care of the church in November and December 2008. When I asked Rev. Dr Koshy whether there was anyone who could take the responsibility, he suggested Preacher Paul Cheng. And that was how Preacher Paul Cheng and his family came to Melbourne in November 2008 to feed the flock of Christ in Bethel. After the two months of work with Bethel, he was approached by the Session to prayerfully consider taking over the pastoral responsibility and duty from me. After praying and seeking our good Lord’s will, Preacher Paul Cheng and his family affirmatively answered the call to come to Melbourne. He and his family have been here for almost two years. He has faithfully and diligently served the Lord as we are all witnesses.</p> <p>On this Lord’s Day he will be ordained according to the apostolic order, when our Lord Jesus Christ called the Twelve, and they in turn ordained Matthias to take over the place of Judas Iscariot, and the Apostle Paul ordained Timothy and Titus as ministers of the gospel of Christ.</p> <p>The following is a brief testimony of Preacher Paul Cheng’s life until the time when he and his family are called to serve in Bethel <span class="caps">BPC</span>.</p> <div> <p>I was brought up in a family that embraces Roman Catholicism and ancestral worship. At the tender age of twelve my doting mother passed away. I was very bitter and began to doubt the existence of God and state of disillusionment over life and death.</p> <p>At the age of 18, I was called for compulsory National Military Service in Singapore. Being an atheist, peer pressure and influence in the army led me to the world of music and drug. For many years, I found myself enslaved in the world of drug addiction. However, I thank God that at a time when I was in a stupor of dependence on drug that my senses returned to me, and was introduced to the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a half-way house for drug addicts called The Helping Hand, which is run by Christians. Through the faithful preaching of God’s Word, I came to know that Christ died for my sins. I clearly remembered the day when I knelt and confessed all my sins before God and believed with all my heart the Lord Jesus Christ as my personal Saviour. God transformed me, and His Word took root in my life.</p> <p>After my conversion, I helped my father to manage his chicken rice restaurant business as he was getting on in age. But deep within me, I had no desire to pursue a business career. I was then sandwiched between helping my dear father in running his business and seeking the will of God for my life. I sought the Lord for His heavenly wisdom to make the right decision. It was then that the Lord placed in my heart a call for full-time ministry</p> <p>In 1999, God opened a door for me to study His Word in the Far Eastern Bible College, Singapore (Ezra 7:10) so as to be equipped to reach out to drug addicts, who were in the same dire straits as I once was. At that time I was worshipping in Gethsemane Bible-Presbyterian Church (GBPC) of which Rev. Dr. Prabhudas Koshy was and still is the pastor. I also served in The Helping Hand from 2002 to 2005. Then in 2005 I was called to spearhead The Gethsemane Care Ministry for drug addicts. The following year, I was elected a Deacon serving in the Session of <span class="caps">GBPC</span>. In 200l while studying in <span class="caps">FEBC</span>, the Lord graciously brought Hye Young a fellow student, now my wife, into my life. Since then she has been a faithful and God-fearing wife. Thereafter, we were blessed with two lovely boys, Timothy and Silas. It is my desire that as a family we will serve the Lord (Joshua 24:15).</p> <p>In November 2008, I was asked by Rev. Dr. Prabhudas Koshy to minister the Word of God at Bethel <span class="caps">BPC</span>, Melbourne for two months in the absence of Pastor Khoo. My heart was filled with fear and trepidation not knowing what would be expected of me and what would lie ahead when we travelled to Melbourne. By the grace of God, my family and I had a blessed time during those two months. The Bethelites lovingly cared for us. Upon returning to Singapore about two months later, I received an invitation to serve full-time with Bethel <span class="caps">BPC</span>. The words of the prophet Isaiah came to my mind (6:8): Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here I am; send me.</p> <p>Life is short and it is my earnest desire to serve the Lord while I still have the strength and energy. The road ahead may be tough and challenging, but my family and I have come to Bethel with fresh zeal and enthusiasm to serve the Lord. It is our humble prayer that God will continue to see us through extending His Kingdom to the praise and glory of His Name.</p> </div> <p>In the name of Christ Jesus, let every Bethelite encourage him and his family labouring in the Lord’s vineyard.</p> <p>May the Lord be with you always and bless you abundantly.</p> <p>With love in Christ,<br /> Pastor Khoo</p> jasonn tag:www.bethelbpc.com.au,2010-09-10:128 2010-09-10T01:54:00Z 2010-09-11T11:56:00Z <p>In the 2008 year, the Session of Bethel has been made aware of a number of issues that affect the Constitution of the Church. In just the last month, we have had many blessed opportunities to meet each Member of the Congregation and to explain what the changes were, as well as provide an opportunity to gather feedback and suggestions.</p> <p>Since the open forum held on the 28th of August, Session has met on a number of occasions to deliberate and consider all the feedback acquired. We Praise and thank the Lord for His sustaining grace and wisdom in helping us complete this process.</p> <p>As presented, today is the date in which we present our final amendments to the constitution. We thank the Members of the Church who have provided constructive feedback and for taking the time to review the documents.</p> <p>You can download the final, amended Constitution as well as Session’s response to the feedback using the links below.</p> <p>Please continue to pray for the wisdom and for the unity and peace of the Church as we prayerfully consider these changes.

<p><img title="Mt. Sinai" src="/assets/2010/5/3/exodus.jpg" alt="Mt. Sinai" /></p> <p>The name of the second book of the Pentateuch – the first five books of the Bible – is Exodus. This English name for the book is derived from the Greek translation of the Old Testament, which is called the Septuagint (meaning translation of the seventy, abbreviated <span class="caps">LXX</span>). The title fits only the first part of the book (1:1-15:21), which narrates the going out of the Israelites from Egypt. The Hebrew Masoretic text has the name of the book as Shermot, which means Names. It is taken from the first two words of the book, ve-elleh shermot – And these are the names. The phrase links the accounts of the book with those of the first book, Genesis. It tells of how God in a great and marvellous way kept His covenant promises to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob by taking their descendants out of slavery in Egypt. In fact the first six words of Exodus is an exact quotation from the first six words of Genesis 46:8. Thus the Hebrew text of Exodus begins with the conjunction “and” (vav) which is translated “now” (KJV).</p> <p>The theme of the book is in two parts: (1) the deliverance of the Israelites from bondage in Egypt (Exodus1: 1 – 15:21), and (2) the giving of the Law at Mount Sinai (Exodus 19:1- 40:38). The intervening section (Exodus15:22 – 18:27) narrates the journey of the Israelites on their way to Mount Sinai.</p> <p>Pastor Rev. Stephen Khoo – <i>Exodus 1 Commentary</i></p>
