I preached this sermon in church yesterday and it was well received. Perhaps it may be a blessing to others as well. Good morning. Continuing our series on wisdom from Proverbs, the topic given for today’s sermon is “Fear of the Lord vs. Fear of Man”, with reference to Proverbs 29:25, which says “Fear of …

I wish they would leave me alone. Life has been intolerable ever since I was paralysed. I wanted to die but for some reason, God did not allow me and instead he trapped me in an even greater hell so that I can contemplate my sin while suffering the humiliation of being taken care of …
Ephesians 5:15-21 I was tasked to preach on Sunday on the above passage. It is not exactly the reason why the past few weeks the devotions I wrote for Time Alone with God have been on Ephesians 4 and 5 but since we have been looking at Ephesians 4 and 5, I thought I’d share …

Meditating on 1 Timothy 6:3-5. The Elder, in his sermon to the church, used a quote from a renowned Christian, basically saying that if the church is not evangelising then the church is as good as dead (I’m sorry because I cannot remember the exact quote and I’m paraphrasing from memory) and I remember thinking, …

Meditating on 1 Timothy 5. Having had my eyes opened to this notion of “honour” as a life principle when I wrote the 2024 Week 09 devotion guide, and having had more time to think about it since I had used the guide this week, some of my thoughts have become clearer. “Honour” is in …

Reflecting on John 2:13-25. The Jewish authorities who asked for a sign from Jesus believed that they were in the position to judge but the truth is that we are only called to recognise and respond. It is true in this time and age, with so many false and deceiving teachings that Christians have to …
I preached in church today and this is the text of my sermon. Perhaps it will help clarify some of your thoughts about worship. Last week we looked at Psalm 40 and Elder Peter pointed out to us that the proper action on our part is to wait for the Lord; God does the rest. …
