The definition of an influencer is “someone who affects or changes the way that other people behave” (Cambridge Dictionary). You know there are those people who change how you act. The way you speak, the way you dress, your interests and even friends change due to these influencers. It’s amazing how much like sheep we…
I love my church. Every time I come back from College, I relish walking back into the front door and to the youth Sabbath School. What is beautiful about my Sabbath School is that anyone and everyone is welcome. The youth age range is anyone who can make it down the stairs, and houses members…
Routine. That’s the word that comes to mind when I think of church. Waking up on a Saturday morning, putting on my nice ‘church-clothes,’ going and sitting in the same pew, with the same people, standing and singing the same songs, going through the same motions. When did church become a monotonous, repetitive activity? I…
This month we explore the theme of ‘Our Church’. What we love about church, what constitutes a church and how the youth are involved in the workings of the greater church. There is a soundtrack which embraces the elements of being part of a church: Cochren & Co. – Church (Take Me Back) Zach Williams…

But are we going about it in the right way? Sadly, in this day and age, “Christianity” has become synonymous with intolerance, judgmentalism and hypocrisy. Though some…
As the years pass, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018– and now 2019!! I have begun to realise the reality that this world is not my home. The saying “I’m just passing through” really hits home… I feel now more than ever the calling that I have been given to reveal the endless love of God to…
This month we will explore dying to self daily. The ups and downs of being a Christian, being a disciple. How the Lord has led you in life and how being Christian effects how you look at the world. Remember we are in this world but not of it. We should strive to live like…
