The Word of God is everything. By it, we are able to transcend the most difficult of life's situations. A deep personal recognition and experience of this truth, stirs up a desire: a burning desire which triggers us to do all it takes to ensure that others also benefit from the Word, by which we ourselves have been preserved. By taking such steps, we prove our love for the (principle of) neighbour.

In this continuing message, “Love Thy Neighbour, Part 2”, Pastor Jeffrey Walter teaches on the importance of the Word of God and why it must go forth. Using the parable of the Good Samaritan, he explains who the neighbour is, what it means to love the neighbour, and how love for the neighbour (in its highest order) is demonstrated. Additionally, he highlights the irreplaceable and critical role of the local church (the inn). He further explains why we must desire and prioritise its establishment (thriving), and how we must contribute to its advancement.

This message presents a call of duty to all who are being transformed and blessed by the Word of God. Go forth and be a neighbour to the wounded. Grace abounds for this cause.

Theme Passage: Luke 10:25-37 KJV (The Parable of the Good Samaritan)

Difficulties are an inevitable part of growing up. As we grow, our appreciation and awareness of life's difficulties also increases. This awareness makes us susceptible to the attacks of the enemy. However, if we learn to deal with the troubles of this life properly, we will transcend them and by that, gain great spiritual growth (mileage).

In this message, “Love Thy Neighbour Part 1”, Pastor Jeffrey Walter teaches what our focus must be in dealing with life’s difficulties. He emphasises the need to transcend them, rather than seek their immediate removal. He shares critical insights that must characterise our Christianity (spirituality). Finally, he explains why we must strive to transcend our challenges and how critical that is to being useful to others.

Scripture: Matthew 7: 24-25 KJV

24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

Our regeneration is facilitated by an incorruptible seed (sperm)—the Word of God. This Word is totally committed to guiding us through every step of this journey, and undeniably, its efficacy is eternally viable. Thus, instead of doubting the Word when we encounter difficult circumstances and moments that seem to refute its efficacy, we should rather examine ourselves. The variable is never the Word, but how we apply ourselves to it.

In this Holy Communion Service message, "The Journey of Transformation", Pastor Jeffrey Walter describes the potency of the Word of God. He explains how the incorruptible Word of God is able to deliver onto us, the inheritance that is purchased for us in Christ Jesus. He reveals how the Lord alone is in charge of our transformation from evil to good. No man is ever aware of how this happens, let alone the details involved.

Is it up to us to figure out where or how the Word will lead? No, ours is to trust and obey, and leave our progress in the hands of God. “The Word knows the path it taketh”. Trust in it!
