Regular followers of Brother Singh are aware of his admiration for specific individuals from the Bible for their unwavering faithfulness to the ministry. Three of those individuals were Joshua, Timothy, and Luke. This lesson focuses on the latter two, each making unique contributions to the work of God, and inspires us to follow their godly examples.

God called Brother Singh to be a watchman! He emphasizes, "We cannot work with a traditional religious format." Yet, our fellowship has relied on a form of traditionalism for over one hundred years as a methodology for conducting services. The danger, however, is that we become so focused on formality that we block out the leading of the Holy Spirit.

The Parable of "The Wise & Foolish Virgins" (Matthew 25:1-13) speaks to the condition of the 21st-century church...

Solomon wrote, "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding" (Proverbs 3:5). Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see (NLT). Building on Wednesday's message, Brother Sam explained that the human limitations of understanding, our carnal thinking, lead us to practice iniquity and thus rejection by the Father. Conversion is the ability to trust God fully in every situation, even unto death.

This lesson deals with God's judgment and our attitude towards it. God set the Prophet Ezekiel as a watchman over Israel. "Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts {or borders}, and set him for their watchman: If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blows the trumpet, and warn the people" (Ezekiel 33:2-3). It's crucial that we heed these warnings.

Brother Singh reminds our congregation that we must take direction from the ministry. Although we call ourselves the Body of Christ, he questions the reality of that statement if our function fails to harmonize with the will of the Father. The Apostle John, given a standard by God, was instructed to "measure the temple {the church} of God, the altar {symbolizing the sacrifices of the people}, and them that worship therein." (Revelation 11:1).

Sister Nadene highlighted our Saturday evening worship with an angelic rendition of "HE CHOSE ME" complementing Brother John's exhortation to stay the course: "He who began a good work in us will bring it to completion on the day of Jesus Christ." Brother Singh completed this spiritually refreshing evening with a report on the dedication of the new sanctuary in Vasai, India.

As we gather in our Mississauga sanctuary Wednesday evening, our thoughts and prayers are with the people suffering from the devastating fires in LA County, California. Brother Singh reminds us that scripture instructs us to pray for political leaders and that God will grant them the wisdom not to persecute the church or lead the country so far from God that it brings judgment on the land.

This world will never experience total peace until the Prince of Peace returns to establish God's Kingdom here on Earth.

God demands that order be maintained in his church. The vibrance of music, or the amount of noise made by saints, does not measure the greatness of a service. Instead, the effectiveness of a service is measured by the harmony in which it responds to what God desires. Today's music and Brother Sam's exhortation perfectly harmonized with Saturday evening's lesson, "When In The Valley."

Brother Singh spontaneously responded to Sister Nadine's heartening testimony tonight. He briefly traced his life's history from infancy to the approaching conclusion of his ministry. From birth until today, God's hand has directed his life, yet it has never been easy. Most saints do not realize the immense sacrifices our Pastor, his wife, Sister Chandry, and daughter, Sister Nadine, have made to preach the word of God.

Solomon wrote: "Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them" (Ecclesiastes 12:1).

We live in a period of history when God is judging the world. However, modern media depicting disasters has made our minds insensitive to reality. Our Pastor reminds us of how quickly society resumed normalcy after the 9-11 World Trade Center collapse. We have become calloused to the destruction reeked by God's judgment—viewing it as another show.
