Four vivid imageries indicative of spiritual transformation for God's people are described in Isaiah 35:

1. Barrenness covered with greeneries and shouts of joy. (Isaiah 35:1-2)
2. Conversion of weakness and fear into strength. (Isaiah 35:3-4)
3. Healing has come to the handicapped and lifeless. (Isaiah 35:5-6)
4. Highway constructed over destruction and desolation. (Isaiah 35:7-8)

Pastor Soh, at the Divine Service on 11 December 2022, exhorted the congregation to walk in holiness on the highway that is Jesus Christ Himself (Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6). Guided by His Word, cleansed by the washing away of our sins through Holy Baptism, forgiven at our daily repentance and partaking of the Holy Communion, Christians are invited to walk on the "Way of Holiness" where "even if they are fools, they shall not go astray" (Isaiah 35:8). On this blessed occasion, the church celebrated the baptism of Ong Jian Yong Alex, the confirmation of Matthew Ng and Johan Gejo George, as our fellow sojourners on the highway of holiness.
