Visitation Zephaniah 3:14-18 | Isaiah 12 | Luke 1:39-56 We are brothers and sisters… yet we don’t visit ourselves. We live next door, share pews in the same church, and even sing “we are family in the Lord”, but when last did you truly check on your brother or sister? When last did you visit, […]

The Spirit of Truth Acts 17:15, 22–18:1 | Psalm 149 | John 16:12–15 Jesus says, “I have made known to you everything I heard from the Father” (John 15:15). Yet in John 16:12, He says, “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now…” How could Jesus have […]

There is something I have observed about the dust-to-dust rite during burial. This rite serves a moment to honour a life that has returned to its Maker. A sacred moments to bid farewell to our loved ones. And wish them eternal peace and rest. During this rite, the right words to say are: “Rest in […]

Praise and Worship ACTS 16:22–34; PSALM 138; JOHN 16:5–11 “About midnight, Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly, there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everyone’s chains […]

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐋𝐄𝐆𝐀𝐂𝐘 𝐎𝐅 𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐏𝐄𝐀𝐂𝐄 ACTS 15:1-2,22-29/PS.67:2-3,5,6,8/REV.21:10-14,22-23/JOHN 14:23-29 Fr. Daniel Evbotokhai Today’s Gospel gives us part of Jesus’ farewell speech, a moment when He could have handed out riches, lands, or worldly power. Instead, He gave something far more valuable: peace. “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you…” (John 14:27). Why? […]
LET NO ONE PUT ASUNDER Today, I want to speak to your hearts, married couples, intending couples, and even the yet-to-be-convinced. Marriage is a divine institution, not a man-made arrangement. Jesus said in Matthew 19:6, “What God has joined together, let no man put asunder.” That’s the Word of the Lord, not a suggestion, but […]

Persecuted but Not Defeated! ACTS 16:1-10; PSALM 100; JOHN 15:18-21 “If they persecuted me, they will persecute you…” (John 15:20). Christianity is not a comfort zone, it’s a combat zone! Jesus didn’t promise applause; He promised opposition. He was hated, misunderstood, betrayed. So why are you surprised when you face rejection for doing good? Truth […]

Love First, Then Law Acts 15:7–21; Psalm 96; John 15:9–11 Jesus says, “Remain in my love.” This is more than a feeling, it’s a daily decision. To remain in His love means to stay rooted in obedience, grounded in truth, and driven by compassion. Love without action is noise; faith without love is empty. In […]

Stay Connected (Acts 15:1–6; Psalm 122; John 15:1–8) Jesus boldly declares in John 15:5, “Apart from me, you can do nothing.” Just like branches depend entirely on the vine for life, nourishment, and fruitfulness, so must we depend on Christ for direction, strength, and sustenance. This union with Christ reflects the theological principle of divine […]
