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!

In less than two month’s time, we will be celebrating Christmas. This is a season not only for celebration. More importantly, it’s a time during which every Christian must preach the gospel that brings salvation because this is precisely the meaning of Christmas: “She will give birth to a son,...
The article below is extracted from https://bible.org/seriespage/1-reformation-sunday-why-reformation-matters-various-scriptures Five hundred years ago, on October 31, 1517, one of the most significant events in history took place when a 34-year-old Augustinian monk named Martin Luther nailed his now-famous “Ninety-five Theses” to the door of the All Saints Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany....
