Geddit is an evangelistic event hosted by CERC — a space created for people who don’t yet know God to explore life’s biggest questions in a thought-provoking and engaging way. It’s not just another church program; it’s a time crafted to engage both the heart and mind.
Geddit weaves together original performances, skits, and interactive moments, all leading toward a talk that presses on life’s biggest questions. Around the table, over a carefully prepared meal, guests share meaningful conversations with new friends. It’s thoughtful, creative, and deeply relational.
This month’s Geddit ran over two weekends:
Part 1 (13–14 September 2025):Jesus = Life. Geddit?
Part 2 (20–21 September 2025):True Wisdom Is Only Found in Jesus. Geddit?
The heartbeat of Geddit is simple but weighty: Get God, Get Life. Every song, every skit, every meal, every conversation is meant to point people to this truth.
A Night of Food, Friends, and Conversations About Life and God
Lamb Shepherd’s Pie, lovingly prepared by the CERC kitchen team.
Guests were welcomed into a hall filled with the warm buzz of conversation and the smell of dinner being plated. Tables were set for a three-course meal: a hearty lamb shepherd’s pie with wine reduction, and a rich cheesecake to follow for dessert. The evening had the feel of a wedding banquet, except instead of celebrating a couple, guests were invited to think about life itself.
Between courses, the evening unfolded with performances. Part 1 had introduced us to Sam, a young woman torn between two paths: predictable stability with Chris, or unpredictable excitement with John. She chose John, chasing a dream of “happily ever after.” But in Part 2, the truth came crashing in… life wasn’t as fulfilling as she imagined.
The skit wasn’t just entertainment. It was a mirror for everyone to see. As Sam wrestled with her choices, guests caught glimpses of their own chase for happiness.
Sam stands at a crossroads while John lies critically ill, a moment of truth in the Geddit skit.
Guests deep in conversation over dinner: talking about life and God.
Behind the Scenes: A Church That Serves in Love
The Kitchen Team working late into the night to prepare a three-course meal for every guest at Geddit.
If Geddit felt seamless, it wasn’t because it was easy. It was because many in CERC poured themselves out behind the scenes.
Chan Qing Yi, who served on the waitering team, shared:
“We set up, serve, and clean up. Usually we end by 1am. The next morning, I’m back by 7am to rearrange the tables for Sunday breakfast. It’s tiring, but worth it, because we want guests to have the best experience possible.”
Leon Tan from the cleaning team put it simply:
“We want the event to run smoothly for our guests. Every department matters. It’s one of the ways we express love as a church.”
Love isn’t abstract here. Love looks like hands cleaning dishes at midnight, feet carrying trays of food, voices greeting strangers with warmth.
Wisdom You Can’t Ignore
Across both weekends, CERC’s Lead Elder, Pastor Robin Gan, gave the talks. His message was clear and uncompromising: life and wisdom are found in Jesus alone.
“To have wisdom is to be alone in a crowd,” he said. “It’s to live where God has called you — holy, different, sometimes even suffering. But at least you have life and wisdom in knowing God through Christ.”
True wisdom, Robin explained, is not about being clever or successful in the world’s eyes. It’s about recognising that life is only found in Jesus and living by faith and love in Him.
Robin drew from 2 Timothy to show what wisdom in Christ looks like in real life.
It looks like Paul, who endured persecution yet lived with faith, patience, love, and steadfastness (2 Tim 3:10–11).
It looks like believers who live not for self-seeking pleasure, but for God’s holy calling, aware that one day, all must appear before Christ the Judge.
It looks like ordinary Christians here and now, whose lives are patterned after “faith and love that are in Christ Jesus” (2 Tim 1:13).
This is wisdom that lasts. Wisdom that suffers yet endures. Wisdom that refuses to settle for lesser versions of “life” when true life is only in Jesus.
He pressed the question home:
“Life is always this question: have you loved God in the person of His Son? If you have, then you’ve already begun a new life in Him, through thick and thin, through persecution and suffering. Christians are those who love Jesus, long for His appearing, and live for Him until they meet Him face to face.”
Pastor Robin Gan: “Life is always this question. Have you loved God in the person of His Son?”
Why Geddit Matters
At the end of the night, discussions carried on around tables, over dessert. Some wrestled with what they had heard. Others asked honest questions. Some simply sat in thoughtful silence, cheesecake unfinished on their plates.
That’s Geddit: not about putting on a show, it’s an invitation to wrestle with life’s hardest questions and to hear Jesus’ answers.
And what makes Geddit possible isn’t just good planning. It’s a church that believes getting God really is getting life and who are willing to serve, suffer, and give so that others might know Him too.
