Pastoral Letters are weekly communications from our church pastor to the congregation. They are mostly original reflections on the Word of God in response to church events or current affairs, local or beyond, with the primary intent to exhort Christians to live rightly before God in the real world. Short bibliographies are sometimes featured towards the same end.
We pray that these writings will be a great blessing to you!

During last Tuesday prayer meeting, I shared that some professing Christians, who preach the health, wealth and prosperity gospel, confidently announced that the Covid-19 virus was not sent by God. Is this what the Bible teaches? No, such audacious proclamation goes against what the Bible teaches. Any claim must be...
The last time we saw each other face-to-face during worship service was on 22nd March. After that, brother and sisters all worshipped online at home on our own.
