A daily walk in faith, hope and love
Reference text: Matthew 2:1-12 On the feast of the Epiphany, we read about the magi and their journey to Bethlehem, led by a star. Their journey took them into the palace where they shared their mission with king Herod. When the king heard their words, he was troubled yet his response was equally swift and... Continue Reading →
Hebrews 6:12 Imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. The goal of imitation is to aim to adopt strategies that have worked before and to incorporate the into one's way of life. However, there should be another side to this adoption which makes room for none-adoption. In other words, imitation should also... Continue Reading →
The first day of the year comes with the declaration of blessing which God asked Aaron and his sons to pronounce on Israel in the book of Numbers chapter 6.

Information is an... Continue Reading →
John 20:4 So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre. I know it's easy to say today's Gospel passage described a shootout competition between age and youth because Peter's delayed arrival coincided with the fact that he was older than his compatriot with whom he...

Acts 6:10 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake. At the start of this year, one message that was an anchor was "this will be a year of great things but with many contentions". This was based on the text from the Acts of the Apostles... Continue Reading →
