The September 2026 issue of Methodist Message is out!
- FEATURE | Avoiding burnout when serving God
Burnout is common in the workplace, but it is equally real in Christian ministry and service. MM’s managing editor, Alvin Tay, shares his personal story—the lessons God taught him to avoid burnout and how to continue serving joyfully.
- FEATURE | Busyness and recovering the Sabbath
Do you feel enslaved by a culture obsessed with work and productivity? Despite the accessibility of technology and the efficiency it brings, we still can’t seem to find the elusive work-life balance. Dr Roland Chia suggests that following God’s rhythm of work and rest—recovering the practice of the Sabbath—could well be the sacred time we, God’s creation, need in order to be restored in Him.
- FEATURE | Finding true rest as a missionary
Perhaps you’ve asked the question too: how does one find rest when work is relentless? In his ministry work as a missionary, Rev Vincent Lim experienced the same struggle. It was only when he asked himself what rest really means that he found his answer in the presence of God.
You can also pick up the print edition at church!
