OUR THEME

“A Ministry that thrives in 2025”

Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him beglory both now and for ever. Amen. II Peter 3:17-18.

The apostle Peter warns the believers not to be so easily leadastray with the error of the wicked and fall from their own stedfastness. Which means allowing ourselves to wander off the path of truth by listening to false teachers and preachers. Our conviction and commitment is to serving God. Peter also admonishes the church to remain alert and vigilant of the enemy’s tactics that he uses to lead us astray. Because the enemy’s job is to misguide and misinform us from the truth of God’s word. But the antidote for remaining steadfast to Christ is continuing to grow in grace and in the knowledge of Him. The more we know about Jesus the more we grow and the less likely we are deceived by the devil. Believers are called by God to be holy in all our conduct and conversation, living a life separated from sin and devoted in service to God. Are we following God’s prescription given unto us that keeps us fixed and focused on Him? If not, we will make it easy for the enemy to lead us astray from the path of righteousness.

Church, let us never stop growing in our relationship with Christ. By learning all that we can about our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. Let us be intentional in knowing more about Jesus.Remember, thriving begins with a desire to know Christ intimately. Let’s continue to thrive in 2025!
