Every year, June arrives with memories that Ghana can never afford to forget. It reminds us of the tragic events of 3rd June 2015, when devastating floods, followed by a fuel station explosion in Accra, claimed hundreds of lives, destroyed properties, displaced families, and plunged the nation into mourning. For many families, the pain of...
The biblical definition of the church (ecclesia) or the “called out,” depicts the idea of a people who are called to form the community and family of God. Antiquity of the church records that Peter, after preaching on the Day of Pentecost, won the hearts of approximately three thousand people, and we...
At the center of human struggle with money lies a powerful illusion of ownership. From early childhood, we are conditioned to claim, accumulate, protect, and control. “Mine” becomes one of the first words we learn. Over time, ownership becomes intertwined with identity. What we possess subtly defines who we believe we are. Yet Scripture opens...
Peer pressure is one of the most powerful forces influencing human behavior, especially in the present generation. It affects both the young and the old, believers and unbelievers, leaders and followers alike. Many destinies have been shaped—either positively or negatively—by the people individuals allow to influence them. In Christianity, peer pressure becomes dangerous when it...

Overwhelmed and weary, he sought refuge in a cave. There, God...

As Christians, we are not immune to mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and mood disorders. In our churches today, many individuals may appear physically present yet are emotionally burdened by the struggles they face....

They are not merely pigments on cloth or emblems on banners, but profound testimonies—expressions of the convictions, beliefs, and faith that define the Apostolic tradition. According to the Church’s brand guide, red represents the blood of Jesus Christ, shed...
For a long time, the concept of purity has been reduced to a single question—whether or not someone has had sex. It has often been treated as a simple label: virgins are considered “pure,” and everyone else is not. Yet, this is a shallow definition for a word that was always meant to carry a...
In the Gospel of Luke 7:24, Jesus poses a thought-provoking question to the crowd concerning John the Baptist: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see?
