The Full Mosaic of the Messiah

These reflections develop on my message on May 31 based on Isaiah’s detailed foretelling about Jesus seven hundred years before His incarnation. The details include his physical appearance, the purpose of his human ministry, and the severity of his punishment, agony, and suffering. It confirms that Jesus always was, even before creation, before the Gospel recordings, and always will be into eternity.                     . Malcolm Ross

Anniversary Sunday Message

It is estimated that in the year 1900 25% of Canadians were born-again believers, meaning they had placed their faith in Jesus as their personal saviour. In Kenya that same year only 5% professed faith in Jesus. Today 2026 less than 5% of Canadians claim to be born-again believers while in Kenya 25% profess faith in Jesus as Saviour. A preacher underlined the danger of 100 years. He listed a number of schools, colleges, universities and church denomination that started out with

The Good Shepherd

(This is a precis of John’s message from Sunday June 28) John 10   Let’s focus on this metaphor today, first on God’s sheep and then on Jesus the Good Shepherd. The sheep are referenced in a sheepfold, they gather and stay together. Sheep hear the shepherd’s voice; they listen and follow it. Sheep discern other voices and will not follow the direction of a stranger. Sheep know the shepherd and maintain a strong relationship with their shepherd. So too we should gather regularly

Jesus’ Relationship With His Heavenly Father

  (A brief summary of Malcolm’s message) Jesus’ Submission to the Father’s will: (John 1:10-12) Our relationship with our earthly father may not be a healthy one; if so we need to let God transform our hearts. Jesus’ Obedience to His Father’s Word: (John 8:28-29, John 11:41-42) Jesus said yes to an impossible journey. He prayed, he listened for his father’s voice.  We too have to submit to what God wants us to do, with prayer, daily communication with God. God can do the impossible;

Finding Your Lane . . .

Ps 139: 1-7 It’s the beginning of summer. Summer holidays, refreshing the body and soul, maybe taking time to relax and regenerate. For some of us it could be just taking a time out to read, fish, renew acquaintances with old friends, nature hikes, . For me I got my SLR camera down from the closet and dusted the bag off and getting ready to find a place where the birds are plentiful and setting up my tripod, a thermos full of

The Five Journeys of Jesus

As long as time and space exist, everything and everyone is on a journey. Our earth revolves around the sun at a speed of about a million kms an hour! Our solar system rotates within our Milky Way galaxy at a speed of about 2 million kms an hour! The God who created our universe in its unfathomable size and speeds, is the same God who created humankind and has purposely vested great interest and love in us. This meditation

Jesus is the Lord, Creator, and Redeemer

Message from Sunday May 31 Jesus is the Lord, Creator, and Redeemer. Do we really have a clear picture of who Jesus is? Do we give him the honour due to him? We are familiar through New Testament accounts with the earthly life of Jesus from his birth to his death; however, we need to find Jesus in the Old Testament to really help us understand that Jesus always was, he was before his incarnation. We have underestimated who Jesus is. We began with

A summary of the message from Sunday May 24

Faith, Hope, and Love 1 Thessalonians 1:2-3 The apostle Paul often brings up these 3 virtues when addressing the churches that he so diligently served; but his intention was never to leave them as vague ideas, but rather to be recognized as real actions in the lives of those who had chosen to follow Jesus. Today is no different, our faith, our hope, and our love are meant to be seen by the world around us as significant changes in our lives

Think of These Things

Philippians 4:4-9 I think that many of you are aware that the book of Philippians is one of my favourite Bible books. As a missionary on home assignment I would go to various churches to report on the work and to thank them for their participation in finances and prayer. Both are important. Without financial backing we could not serve in the overseas. Without prayer there was no purpose in going. At one point when I realized that the letter to
