The simplicity of our church premises




The assembly hall of Sungai Dua Church (the whole premises is only 50'x20' shop-lot) - it's simplicity is stark by any standard. There is no stage with its sophisticated lighting for performances, no drum-set or other sound-box for noise and entertainment, no advanced audio-visual system for amusement... sorry, we are primitive.

However, we have the pulpit for the preaching of God's word, a people who love singing the hymns of praise and hearing the word of God preached, and a table for the Lord's Supper. (The chairs are stacked away because the floor needed to be swept and mopped after the fellowship meal.)

"Wherefore brethren, covet to prophesy..... he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort."

"I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine."
