CONFRONTING YOUR ANXIETY: A BIBLICAL RESPONSE TO OVERCOMING FEAR & WORRY
God is interested not only in our spiritual and physical, but also our psychological well-being. Worries and anxieties are common emotions. They are necessary for our survival, yet the bible commands us not to fear, but instead we are to fear God. This seems an apparent contradiction. So, is it wrong to fear?
Topics covered include (but are not limited to): • The nature of fear and worry• How the kiasu mentality came about, and what to do about it• How to pull down the strongholds of fear• What to do when God seems absent

The story is about Elliot, a ball. He is stressed because he doesn’t know what kind of ball he is, and sets out on a journey to seek the answers to life’s fundamental questions – Who am I? What am I doing here? He encounters other balls that he hopes to identify with, but each time, he rolls away in disappointment. Towards the tail end of his journey, he meets one particular ball that melts faster than she falls; a pretty snowball named Lucille. The profound encounter leaves Elliot pondering over his existence and he returns home. Nothing eventful happens upon his arrival, but in this place of quiet, Elliot finds a stillness of heart. He is simply content with being a ball. However, his peace gets violently interrupted, as an accusing hand confronts him, picks him up and gives him a strong squeeze. In an Ah-ha moment, Elliot realises that he is no longer a stressed ball but a stress ball!
New Arrival THE STRESSED BALL PRICE: $27 (After 15% Discount)
True listening isn’t simply hearing the words of Jesus; it involves belief that results in active commitment. This is the second book in a three-part study of the gospel of Mark. As you read and align yourself with the One who is truth, you’ll experience for yourself the freedom that comes from truly listening for and following the voice of the Saviour.
Course Dates: 24 Apr, 3, 15, 22, 31 May & 5 Jun (Weekly) Course Material: $11 (RiverLifer) | $16 (Non-RiverLifer) Registration closes TODAY.

In recent times, the call of Singapore as the Antioch of Asia is finding increasing resonance among the churches in our nation. As we continue to steward this call and posture our hearts, our prayer is that the Holy Spirit will do a deeper work in us to awaken the essence of who we are called to be – sent ones who will love Him more than our lives, who will represent Jesus in our spheres of influence and partner with Him to see the Great Commission fulfilled.
Being SENT is not an action, or an event in time. Jesus said, “... As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.” (John 20:21b) Jesus is calling us to partake in who He is, the Chief Sent One.
