Christ the ultimate goal!
Phil 3:7-15 Most people set goals that they wish to achieve. We set goals of social status achievements, career goals, economic goals, family goals and for some spiritual goals. However the spiritual life is mostly ignored by the majority and only referred to when need arises or as a means to achieve other goals. In our text, the Apostle Paul gives us a different standard, that Christ should be the ultimate goal and objective of Life. This is to live a life worthy of Christ in everyway. While it is key to pursue many goals of life, Christ should be […]
No More Anxiety!
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by Prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”(Philippians 4:6-7) Anxiety is a common human phenomenon often associated with worry.

David answered from a personal perspective by saying “at all […]
Serving as Christ Served!
Philippians 2:1-13 Learning to serve God ,and others, as Christ served is an important subject we all should be concerned about. Paul deals with that problem very specifically in today’s text. He says that we should serve as Christ served. How did He serve? The main point Paul emphasizes here is humility. Christ is our example. Though He was “In very nature God”(Phil.2:6) He took “the very nature of a servant”(v.7) The eternal Son of God became, in time, the Son of Man, so that He could die on the cross to save us from our sins. Certainly, then, we […]
Safe and secure, the Lord is with you!
Psalm 46:1-4 The need for safety is a daily human desire. We all want to be safe and secure in what we do, where we go and where we stay. In the world we live in today, trouble of different kinds is also a reality that sometimes threatens our safety. It’s from this premise that the Psalmist pens down an ultimate assurance of safety and refuge in God. God is presented as our refuge and strength and a very present help in trouble. God is not only our source of help, but our abiding place in trouble. 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘁𝗼 […]
