Dear BPCWA worshipper, As we close off the year, it is important to reconsider our 2025 Church theme, Thirsting after God, from Psalm 63:1 “A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is”.  This must be something which every Christian is interested in, because it is about our God, the Almighty Creator of heaven and earth, who is our Heavenly Father. Christianity isn’t about outward rituals and forms, but about the reconciliation of sinners to God for a very personal relationship. We must care about building

Dear BPCWA worshipper, We are approaching Christmas, a day Christians around the world set aside to commemorate the incarnation of our Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible doesn’t state that 25th December is a special feast day, and neither do we have an accurate record of the exact day our Saviour was born into this world.

Nothing can be more stupendous than having the angels bring “good tidings of

We would have had interactions with many people in our lives in 2025, whether as casual contacts with friends or relatives or through other avenues. We often say we want to be a good testimony to them. Being a good testimony, but neglecting to bring to some of these the Gospel of salvation is insufficient. As the year ends, let us pose ourselves this reflection question: “How has my personal evangelism this year been to those who have passed through my life?”   Evangelism is every Christian’s duty. Many are eager to serve,

Dear BPCWA worshipper, Last week, we looked at the vows which parents take when bringing their child forward for infant baptism. Infant baptism is not dedication, for the child God places in the believer’s family is already His. When I first came to BPCWA, a visitor came to church requesting her baby be baptised. I counselled the lady that infant baptism is not the mere bestowment of a “guaranteed” blessing. This is because infant baptism is the parent’s promise to be faithful in bringing up the child for God, and claiming God’s promises to help them as they diligently do so.  Certainly, there is a blessing in the Covenant when parents obey and fulfil the vows.  Hence, she needs to
