My dear friends, People of God: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour. At Pentecost we celebrate the giving of the Holy Spirit to God’s people, and related to it, the establishment of the new Israel, the Church. Jesus promised his disciples that the Holy Spirit would help them remember […]

My dear friends, The hour for which Jesus came into this world has finally arrived. During the course of His life and ministry, we were reminded often that “His hour was not yet come.” This was a reminder to those around Him that He came for a high and noble purpose. You see, Jesus came […]

My dear friends, One of the greatest challenges facing Christian parents is raising children in the fear and nurture of God. There is need for establishing a solid foundation on which sound character, good moral judgment and love for God, neighbours and self are required principles. We are aware, however, that no matter how much […]

My dear friends, Life is sometimes filled with trying, circumstances beyond our control. We can never tell when we will be affected or when the demands of work or the pressures of family life will bear heavily upon us. There are times when we become so overwhelmed with pain or sorrow that we feel as […]

My Dear Friends, Suppose we were to sit in an auditorium and witness a replay of all our sins before a church audience – sexual affairs, selfishness, anger, stealing, critical comments and behaviour as well as jealousy. Can you imagine the outcry, the raising of eyebrows, the pointing of fingers, the shameful dispositions and the […]

My Dear Friends, Numerous persons in our community as well as our church are experiencing grave dangers.   Some are struggling after being deprived of certain basic rights.  Others are in peril of losing their property because they are unable to pay the mortgage.   Still others are encountering traumatic experiences, abuses and molestations.
