Read MoreWord For The Day: Protection From Sin
“This book (the Bible) will keep you from sin, or sin will keep you from this book” (John Bunyan). The words of Bunyan are still true today for every one of us; one of the main reasons we sin constantly and experience no victory over our temptations is because we spend very little time in…

For this week’s devotionals, I would like to share with you about the idea of treasuring and cherishing God’s Word and why it is important to spend time reading and meditating in the Scriptures as often as we can. If you are like me, taking time to “be still and know that I am God”…
Read MoreFreemasonry and Christianity Compared
Are Freemasonry and Christianity compatible? This is a question we are asked often at Kitwe Church.

Read MoreThe People God Uses To Serve His Church
Today in our text Philippians 2:19-30, we see the people God uses to serve His church. The context helps us understand the environment of the people Paul is writing to.

Read MoreWORKING OUT YOUR SALVATION
When light comes in, darkness scurries away. Light and darkness are mortal enemies, they cannot stay together in one place. Just as east is opposite of west, so light and darkness are mutually exclusive. Darkness is nothingness. Darkness is the absence of light. You once lived in darkness… maybe you still do. You lived in…
