Martha invited Jesus into her home and was focused on preparing a meal for her guest. Whereas her younger sister Mary ‘sat [...]
The Parable of the Talents is one of the parables Jesus taught on stewardship. It involved a man giving three servants a certain number of talents to trade with. The man represents God, and the servants represents His people. We are not servants out of compulsion, but because we are indebted to Him. Whilst the [...]
Samuel, a prophet and priest in Israel, grew old, and the elders of Israel petitioned for a king (1 Samuel 8:1) .

The word temptation can be associated with words such as forbidden, sensual, or evil. While this may be true, there is another definition. The Greek word for temptation is peirasmos, which means ‘the trial of man's fidelity, integrity, virtue, constancy’ (Blue Letter Bible, 2025). The temptations that we face in our lives as Christians, often [...]
Luke 5:5 (ESV)And Simon answered, “Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets.” This was the response of Peter when Jesus had asked him to let down his nets. Peter was a fisherman by trade. He had the expertise, and the experience but his enthusiasm quickly [...]
If you’re not familiar with the story of Joseph, this is the background. Jacob had two wives, Leah and Rachel; however, he loved Rachel more. She was the woman he originally wanted to marry before being deceived into marrying the older sister by his father in-law (Genesis 29:14-30). And she didn’t have children until later [...]
The generations before us, the revivalists, evangelists and pastors preached on holiness and against unrighteousness. Sometimes they would say in their sermons that “holiness is still right”. The word holy and holiness can make some people feel uncomfortable. This could be due to several reasons. Maybe we have this idea that holiness means perfection, or [...]
Please read part 2 if you haven't already. 11. Whom will you serve? Have you ever heard the phrase ‘Keep it 100’? It simply means be consistent, be honest, be authentic. Don’t be hot one day and then cold the next. Be the same in public and in private. Be the same whether it’s a [...]

Acts 1:6-86 So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” 7 He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy [...]
In Mark 5, Jesus had sailed with his disciples to Gerasenes. As soon as Jesus stepped out of the boat, a man with an unclean spirit approached him. He was a man who could not be restrained, feared by people, and cried night and day. Mark 5:3-4 (ESV)He lived among the tombs. And no one [...]
The story of Moses is interesting. He was born during a time when an order was given for every male child to be killed. This was all part of Pharaoh’s plan to control the Israelites due to fear that they would betray Egypt by joining forces with their enemies and wage war on the land [...]

I wanted to share some thoughts about being a witness for Jesus. I hope this blesses you. John chapter 1 introduces Jesus as the Word that became flesh and He is the true light while also mentioning John the Baptist. 6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 He came [...]
I will bless the Lord at all times and His praises shall continually be in my mouth – Psalm 34:1 (NRSV). Let’s break it down in another way… I will bless [exalt] the Lord at all [not some of the time, not whenever I feel like it, or when my situation is favourable] times [...]
As I watched, I couldn’t help but see how different characters symbolic and how different scenes are relate to the Christian journey. Here are some thoughts that I would love to share with you all and hopefully, you see these things too.

A Christian poet once shared, “People don’t want to hear the truth [...]
If you don't know who Ezekiel is, he was one of the prophets in the bible that God had anointed and set apart as a mouthpiece. Whenever God wanted to speak to His people, He would speak to a prophet to deliver a message. Ever heard of the phrase “Don’t shoot the messenger”. A prophet [...]
Oftentimes, we can look to another brother or sister in Christ and are amazed at what they’re doing. You might even admire them but be careful that you don’t compare yourself or your relationship with God, with theirs. God created us differently, speaks to each and every one of us differently but also, our relationship [...]
People-pleasing can lead to disobedience because, in our desire to please people, we can displease God especially when we refuse to obey Him or do what He has asked us to do, because, we’re afraid of what others will think.
I want to share something that happened today: I went shopping for groceries and also clothes. I was looking for Coles and I misread the arrow. I didn't realize this until I started walking further down the shopping mall. It dawned on me that I was heading in the wrong direction. Instead of turning around, [...]
By the time you’ve read the title, you’re probably wondering, where is she going with this? It’s true, obviously, I’m not the Holy Spirit but sometimes we can try to do His job unintentionally. I had a very humbling moment last night where in the middle of a sermon that was teaching on how one [...]

This morning, a guest speaker came to my church and preached on responding to the enemy with the word of God. The only way to resist the enemy and not give into the devil's lies is to know what the scriptures say. After the sermon, there was an altar call for strongholds and he gave [...]
