In my 2 previous posts, I had blogged about how Spotify provides a free platform for hosting audio and video podcasts, and that I will be making available all 121 sermons that TRAC President Rev Reuben Ng preached during his 5-year tenure as the Youth Pastor of Paya Lebar Methodist Church ("PLMC"), from Aug 2007 to Jul 2012.
He preached a total of 121 sermons during those 5 years, which translates into an average of 24.2 sermons per year, or close to a sermon every other week. That regular feeding on God's unadulterated Word was sufficient sustenance for my wife and I to continue staying on in PLMC.
I did up a Pivot table, and what is pleasantly surprising is that he preached at the Main/Adult service as often as he did at The Next Generation ("TNG") Youth Service.
In fact, after Rev Dr Jonathan Seet was posted into PLMC in 2010 to replace Peter Koh as her Pastor-in-Charge, he made Holy Communion Sunday (the 1st Sunday of every month) Service a combined one (the youth would not have their own service but would instead attend the Main service together with their parents).
Rev Seet would also share the pulpit with his fellow pastors, which meant Rev Reuben ended up preaching more regularly at the main service, and the numbers bear this out:
I have now uploaded 55 of his 121 sermons, together with AI-generated sermon synopses. Happy feeding!
Oh ya, those who are sharp would have noticed that I have renamed the podcast to TRAC (The Reverend's Anointed Collection): Sermons by Reuben Ng, in acknowledgement to how God has fast-tracked him from a Member-on-Trial in Aug 2012 to President-elect in Nov 2024. May God continue to strengthen his stakes and lengthen his cords. Amen?
When he become Bishop of the Methodist Church in Singapore, the podcast would be renamed MCS (Marvellous Collection of Sermons) accordingly ;-)
