Helen’s Heart Dysfunctional families are not a recent development. In the bible we see many families that would be classed dysfunctional today. Joseph had a childhood full of animosity between his father’s wives – who were sisters. His father showed favouritism toward his full brother, causing jealousy and animosity with his half-brothers, who sold him into slavery. Sarah (Abraham’s wife) was so desperate to have a child she pushed her maidservant to have relations with Abraham that resulted in a child and contempt and disrespect from this maid. These examples serve to learn from – what not to do. Proverbs tells us what to do, a wise woman builds her house…
The Praying Church
Come join the prayer team each Sunday morning at 9:45am in classroom #1, but especially with the Church here at CCSH Wednesday evenings at 7:00PM. 1Sa 12:23 “Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you.
From the Pastors Desk
In a world filled with questions and uncertainties, the foundational truths of our faith remain unshakable. One question regarding the virgin birth of Jesus Christ has been a topic of discussion. Some doubt its reality, but our faith is rooted in the infallible Word of God. The Bible confirms Jesus’ virgin birth in Matthew 1:20 an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. 21 And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins.”. Just as prophecy was fulfilled in His birth, crucifixion, death for our sins, burial, resurrection, and ascension, we are assured that the same Jesus will return in accordance with prophecy. Believing in Jesus means trusting His words and the promises He fulfils. Let us hold fast to the hope and certainty that our Saviour brings. As we come together in prayer, let us also celebrate the wonders of our faith, for He is the source of our strength and the fulfilment of God’s eternal plan.
