A Message from the Pastor

I know by now, we have all been impacted in some way by the spread of the coronavirus across the globe.

Prayer for the COVID-19 Pandemic

The Barbados Nazarene District has encouraged all Nazarene churches to join in prayer for the COVID-19 pandemic. Join us at Hope Road this evening at 7:30pm as we present our requests to our Sovereign God!

Trust The Father

As the Israelites had to cross over the River Jordan, they had to engage in a test of faith. Exercising their faith allowed them to see that God was with them.

God Our Shepherd

Isaiah explained that we are all like sheep (Isa53:6). We tend to go our own way, yet we desperately need the sure direction of a shepherd. Psalms 23 describes the trustworthiness of our Good Shepherd. He cares for us (v.1); He provides for our physical needs (v.2); He shows us how to live holy lives […]

Have Faith, Wait On God

It was natural for Martha and Mary to send for Jesus when Lazarus became seriously ill (John 11:1-3). Perhaps they looked anxiously along the road for signs of His arrival, but Jesus didn’t come. The funeral service had been over for four (4) days when Jesus finally walked into town (v.17). Martha was blunt: ”if […]

He Dwells With Us

Jesus, the Lord of the Universe and the Creator of all things – chose to dwell among us. As John says “he beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father” (John1:14).

Accept His Grace and Mercy

Being like us, Jesus is no stranger to our struggles. He experienced deep loneliness and betrayal of a dear friend. He was publicly shamed, misunderstood and falsely accused. In short, He feels our pain.

Ask It In His Name

Jesus taught us to pray in His name. The night before He was crucified, He gave a promise to His disciples: “until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask and you will receive, that your joy may be full” (John16:24). But the promise of asking in Jesus’ name is not a blank cheque that we might get anything to fulfill our personal whims.

Jesus Can Change You

As a young man, the apostle Paul opposed Jesus and His followers with a vengeful spirit. He “made havoc of the church, entering every house and dragging off men and women, committing them to prison” (Acts8:3). But one day, he encountered the risen Christ and His life became a different story (9:1-16). In a letter […]

True Friendship

Jonathan and David illustrate the sweetness of a true friendship. The Bible records an intimate and immediate bond between them (1Samuel18:1). They kept their friendship alive by demonstrating their loyalty to each other (18:3; 20:16, 42; 23:18) as well as nurturing it by expressions of concern. In a world where most relationships are about what […]
