Dear BPCWA worshipper, How has your walk been since the retreat and camp? The church theme is not just for us to be excited after the retreat and camp, and then for us to revert to our old ways thereafter. It is a lifelong theme for a lifelong walk! Final summary. Over the past few weeks, we have been walking through the sermons preached based on our church theme “Walk as Christ Walked”, taken from 1John 2:6 “He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.” We often say we want to love God more. If so, then start walking as Christ walked and you will demonstrate your love for God. In

Dear BPCWA worshipper, We will conclude the recap of our camp thematic messages with the “S” and “T” of walking IN CHRIST. Sanctification.

The Apostle John chided the believers because loving the brethren had departed so far from what God expects, so much so that the old and existing commandment sounded new to them. Hence, he said, “Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the

Dear BPCWA worshipper, Last week, we saw how the driver for us to walk as Christ must be love for God. When we do so, the result will be that our love for God will grow as we walk like Him. Walking as Christ walked is not an option for a Christian. We will cover the next 2 sermons in today’s pastoral, where we will learn 2 prerequisites for walking as Christ walked. Consecration. Consecration is the first prerequisite to walking as Christ walked. 1Jo 2:2 tells us Christ “is the propitiation for our sins”. Christ’s propitiation is because the wrath of God was coming toward us. Christ stood in between us and God and deflected God’s wrath. To be
