Christmas is a time of "great joy", as the angels said. But we will only find real joy if we seek it in Christ. Let HIM be your highest joy, this Christmas.

This Christmas, hark! Or pay attention… to what the angels are singing. For it is the glory of the newborn King that is the reason for it all.

During my four years at this church, I have learned that God is always at work, even when we don't recognize it. I am grateful for the opportunities He gave me, and for the way He used me in this time. Do your best where he has placed you, and see what He does!

The one thing I regret, as I leave my church, is the lack of grace I have sometimes shown to those I disagreed with. We must learn to "agree to disagree" and still love one another. How blessed I was to have people who treated me this way at eMseni.

As I prepare to leave my church of 4 years and begin ministry in another, I am particularly grateful for the love and grace I have found at eMseni. Find yourself a loving church community, you'll be blessed if you do.

I'm leaving my church after 4 happy years! One thing I am grateful for is the spiritual mentorship I have found here. Do you have mentors in the faith? Find some... and thank God for them.

In the midst of his suffering, Andrew Brunson couldn't figure out what God was doing. But later on he learned just how God was using his suffering for good. His suffering wasn't the end of his story - and neither is yours.

Andrew Brunson stood up in Turkish court and declared Jesus to be the only Saviour, and forgave those who had falsely accused him. What a witness, in a dangerous place! What's stopping us from sharing our faith? Fear, shame? Let's learn from Andrew today, and share our faith boldly.
