Despite being mentioned only once in God’s Word, Anna was an admired woman of faith who prophesied about Jesus at the Temple of Jerusalem. She spent her life serving, fasting, praying and growing so close to God that she became known as a “prophetess,” proclaiming God's Word (Old Testament) and helping others understand His will. VBS4ever.com Luke 2:36-38 – “And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had l

It’s December 17th, only one week until “Christmas Eve ." Let's don't let “Christmas” get so busy that we take our eyes off of the true meaning … the birth of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

The well-known Christmas hymn, “ O Come, All Ye Faithful ” is the biblical story of the birth of Christ, where the shepherds, after hearing the angels singing, go to Bethlehem to adore the new-born Saviour. Today’s video and song  is similarly titled but the message is very different -- it’s a reminder that humans are not perfect; that believers aren’t always faithful followers and in fact, we are all sinners in need of a Saviour. For that reason and more, we come together as

Prayer (prâr): A reverent petition made to God. We get to know  God through His Word  and prayer . When communicating to God through prayer, we don’t always receive the answer we want or in the timing we desire, but He does hear the pleas (and praise) of His children, and He does  answer. Scripture tells us that even when we don’t have the words to pray, the Spirit will intercede for us. Romans 8:27 - “And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit,

The Lord is our Shepherd , and your pastor is the shepherd of the local ‘flock’ (church). He watches for your souls and will give an account to God someday of the souls he has been entrusted to nurture. He needs prayer -- it's important to pray for him passionately and desperately.

‘Halloween’ will soon be here and we’ll see little ‘goblins’ dressed in costume, running door-to-door ‘trick-or-treating’ for candy. Some folks will attend costume parties, carve pumpkins, deliver playful pranks or practical jokes, and may even light a bonfire. Some will take it further by telling scary stories about monsters, ghosts and evil spirits, and attending haunted houses.  As with any ‘holiday,’ how one chooses to celebrate is up to them. Many Christians don’t celebr

This coming Monday, October 13, the U.S. will celebrate Columbus Day, which commemorates the landing of Christopher Columbus in the Americas in 1492.
