Responsive to the Holy Spirit In Sunday’s message, we spoke about being responsive to the Holy Spirit. What resonated with me was that I shouldn’t compare myself to others. I am running a race, and Christ sets the standard. When I evaluate myself, it’s not about how others are doing. Rather, I am to reflect and examine my performance based on my actions and Christ’s standard. If the Holy Spirit constantly leads me, I will be exactly where I need…

Where are you at? Happy New Year!!! 2021: The year of great expectations – What do you believe?!! This was the first year that we were given three(3) scriptures to support our theme of the year. 3 John 2 Phillipians 1:19 Luke 8:5-15 I thought it odd at first because I just could not figure out the link between the three scriptures. The excitement at the time was all on “Great Expectations: Woohoooo… can’t wait!!” Then as the year progressed,…

The Love Walk: A Walk of Patience This Sunday’s message to me was a reminder that the love walk can be long; however, exercising patience can pay off when you least expect it. People often move in and out of faith depending on whether or not they get what they want. But, patience and understanding make it possible for them to come back when they’ve truly made the decision to follow Christ. It’s easy to judge, but we have to…

Let us Defend our Divine Nature This week’s message was based on 2 Peter 1:10. Verse 3 says: His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and virtue. What really resonated with me is that Pastor Vickylextar said we have to “defend our Divine nature and to put our focus on that, instead of the flesh or the old nature.” It encouraged me…

Thankfulness is Crucial This week’s message was instrumental in reminding me of the importance of being grateful. Thanking generally means to acknowledge that something was or is being done. So, it’s impossible to be truly grateful to God without believing what He has done for us, and thankfulness supports our faith in His goodness. Like Pastor Vickylextar says, it’s the brace of faith! Being thankful is the natural response of our hearts when we commune with Yeshua. Pastor shared about…

Removing Wickedness, Embracing the New! Last Sunday, we were blessed with a very special healing service for which my soul, heart, and mind are very thankful. Pastor Vickylextar began the service with the Scripture found in 2 Chronicles 7:14: ‘’(…) when My people, over whom My Name is called, humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their evil ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.’’ In that…

Fear No More Last Sunday, Pastor Vickylextar’s message was on fear. The last three Sunday’s messages have been on anxiety, stress, and fear; therefore, I believe that these situations must occur quite often in our lives for us to receive a similar warning three times. The messages made me realized that those situations were more present in my life than I thought. Many times, it is not even a major event. It can be an ordinary situation. Fear prevents me…

Anxiety – Stress – Guard your heart! Last Sunday’s message was a continuity of what we had learned the week before about worry, anxiety and stress. We went deeper, and I was amazed to remember that when I was young and going to church, it was so important to be on time, NEVER to be late. Otherwise, we would stay home: my father was quite strict on this. Always being on time for all sorts of situations was/still is part…

Overcoming Anxiety, Stress and worry  This Sunday, Pastor Vickylextar’s  message was titled “ Be Anxious For Nothing”. Pastor in her sermon talked about Worry, Stress, Anxiety and their effect on human beings. Worry she said is in the mind, when people flood their minds with negative thoughts. Stress is in the body; it is the physical response which comes with worry. Anxiety – Stress and worry together form anxiety.  She made it known to us that the three are not…

Choosing Freedom and Peace This Sunday, Pastor Vickylextar gave us a teaching on the importance of not worrying. For someone like me who had made it a habit to worry about everything and anything, this is a word that hit home! I used to worry about almost every situation in my life: “Am I doing the right thing? Should I even be doing anything? Is anyone going to disapprove of what I am doing? What do I need to do…

Parenting Last Sunday, I was especially blessed because I received two messages from Pastor David (on parenting and on his personal experience).  The first one was about the importance of good parenting and how it can be difficult, especially when it comes to rebuking our children.  God, our Father, loves us immensely, but sometimes He must correct us because we stray away from His word. Parents nowadays must raise their children competing in a world influencing them through social media,…

Correct or Not to Correct Last Sunday’s message was based on the scripture from 1 Samuel 2:12, 2:22, and Luke 15 that reminded us of the important role God has trusted us with as parents and how we lead our children in the love of Christ. We read and learned the consequences of Eli’s lack of parenting as he focused on being a provider, not teaching his family. Eli thought his sons would somehow “just get it,” but he was…
