Reflections on Nehemiah 3 This last Sunday Joachim preached an excellent sermon on Nehemiah 3 about working together. One of the many points that he gave us was that this chapter is effectively a list of the names of people who were courageous and committed to rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem. Joachim pointed out that … Continue reading Building Together

There is nothing small in the service of God
We were blessed yesterday as Leon brought to us the Word of God, “Every Member Serving”. It was good to be reminded that service is at the very heart of our transformed life, and that as we are motivated to serve we bring glory to God.

Our Saviour Jesus took authority and rebuked the wind and waves and demonstrated His power over creation. It was from our recent studies in Daniel where we read: ... … Continue reading Sovereign God
Daniel

We have seen how it is relevant for us as 21st century Christians and how Daniel stood for God in an alien culture in a foreign land. There are many verses in Daniel that I could highlight … Continue reading Daniel
