Following the Great Commission: Part Three We have established that we must have a personal relationship with God. But then what? The disciples were debating who the greatest was among themselves and then Jesus spoke. Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, ‘Anyone who wants to be first must be the very last, and… Continue reading Servant Lifestyle – God’s Employment Plan
Following the Great Commission: Part Two Every once in a while we get encouraged and revved up to do “great things for God”. But ironically being inspired is not the first or the most important thing. In Luke 9, Jesus was talking to His disciples after sending them out with power to heal and drive… Continue reading Motive and Inspiration
I truly believe that every true Christian dreams of doing ‘great things for God’. Some of us have hopes of working with a missionary organisation, helping the poor and needy, becoming proficient Christian writers or simply just evangelizing to those closest to us one day. But even then most of us don’t know how, when… Continue reading Following the Great Commission
Last week, we were learning about Jesus’ first temptation, and that God can satisfy all our needs when we read His Word and trust in Him for them.

2022 has gone, another year has come, and it feels amazing to be alive. God has kept us through one whole year despite the political drama, economic crisis, turmoil, wars, and the dangers that come with those. By His grace we are living to tell the story. His sparing us is a blessing in so… Continue reading The Start of Something New
We have come to the end of this year’s advent. The halls have been decked, trees are up, cards sent, presents wrapped and the food is prepared. All that is left is to enjoy the day that the Lord has given. Throughout this series we have looked at the part that people, such as Mary… Continue reading Waiting on the Promise: All These Things Having Now Been Fulfilled
Giving, whether it is cards or presents, is a huge part of the Christmas season.

One important gift-giving event that happened in the Christmas story was when some… Continue reading Waiting on the Promise: Free Gifts For All
When I search 'Christmas spirit' on Google, a wide variety of things come up; a blog or two encouraging me to get into 'the spirit' by decorating my house, numerous vendors that want to sell me Christmas merchandise, and a film and a Wikipedia page about Christmas Day. Now on the other hand, if I… Continue reading Waiting on the Promise: Christmas Spirit
