Dear VCFer, ๐Ÿ–‹

Why were letters so common in the New Testament? Letter writing is often said to be a lost art, but there's a reason why it is art to begin with!

This year, the Biblical Engagement Study Team (BEST) will be focusing on the genre of โœจEPISTLESโœจ! If you would like to find out more about epistles as a genre, (and perhaps even prepare yourself to read an epistle with us at our BEST Book Club ๐Ÿซข) come join us at our Introduction to Epistles Workshop, run by Mr Hor Guo Yi of the Biblical Graduate School of Theology!

FT2: Theology of Witness ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ—ฃโšก๏ธ
[Fellowship Teaching 2]

"You are my witnesses," declares the Lord... (Isaiah 43:10)

...you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. (Acts 1:8)

๐Ÿซต Fun fact: the Greek word for 'witness' is 'martus' โ€” the root word of martyr, referencing those who died for their faith in Christ!

We may no longer be persecuted for our faith like the apostles once were. But what does the Bible say about witnessing? And how is that still relevant to our lives today โ€” especially as university students?

Come to FT2 for a time of worship & teaching! May you be inspired to be a witness for Christ, just as He has called us to be ๐Ÿ’ซ

As Christian students in the university, it may feel daunting to encounter new and provocative ideas and ideologies that might present a challenge to our pre-existing worldviews. How might we, as faithful followers of Christ, engage with the university in a manner that strengthens our Christian mind, faith, and witness? How might we emerge wiser and better formed through our learning journey in the university?
