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!

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come; the old has gone, the new is here” (2 Cor 5:17). If you humble yourself before the Lord Jesus Christ, acknowledge that you are a sinner, ask Jesus to forgive your sins, and receive Him as your Lord and...
By Dr Peter Masters (https://metropolitantabernacle.org/articles/pauls-blueprint-for-a-worshipping-church/) Every congregation should be a true worshipping church, and this must be the highest aim of all church planters, pastors and leaders.
