Building Blocks In God's Holy House

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Jan 23, 2022

We are “living stones,” called to be linked with one another in Christ, tightly integrated like stones in a wall. This requires us to strengthen our connections with each other, in fellowship, mutual support, and prayer.

God has given us a real blessing in this church building. In many ways, it’s a hub for congregational life. It serves as a centre of our worship, our learning and study, and it’s a place for our communion together. It’s a good gift of God to us. Yet how does the Bible speak about our places of ...read more

Lot's Day Vs. Our Day

Contributed by Thilini Perera on Jan 3, 2021

“IT WAS THE SAME IN THE DAYS OF LOT” said Jesus in Luke chapter 17:28 teaching invaluable lessons about the latter days, popularly known as the End-times. Jesus masterfully points to the parallel conditions between the two eras, LOT’S DAY and OUR DAY.
