About our name

written by Charmaine Tang, BRMC Pastoral Team Staff

The name “Flourish” is inspired by Psalm 92, also known as a creative psalm. The psalmist put together descriptive praise, declarative praise and wisdom instructions all in one psalm. This variety of forms within one song evidences the artistic creativity of the psalmist. 

The first few verses in this psalm speaks of how the wonderful works of God call forth praise and worship from His people.  

4 For you make me glad by your deeds, Lord; 
    I sing for joy at what your hands have done. 
5 How great are your works, Lord, 
    how profound your thoughts! 

From verses 12-15, the psalmist proclaims that the righteous will flourish and grow like the Palm tree and Cedar tree. These valuable trees take years to mature and represent faithfulness as well as stabilises. When they are firmly planted the house of God, they can expect nourishment and fruitfulness till old age.  

12 The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, 
    they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon; 
13 planted in the house of the Lord, 
    they will flourish in the courts of our God. 
14 They will still bear fruit in old age, 
    they will stay fresh and green, 
15 proclaiming, “The Lord is upright; 
    he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him.” 

While Flourish is a business in the creatives it is also a movement that desires to draw people into joyful worship of God. It is a social and community project that will remain righteous and faithful before God, and as she does do, she can look forward to a flourishing movement that will show strong and stable growth for many years.
