Pastor's Note

A Message from Rev. Moose Ngolwe, Senior Pastor

When a sinner takes a step of faith toward God, the Almighty God moves in great leaps toward the sinner. An ancient eastern proverb says: "Who draws near to me an inch, I will draw near to him a mile; and whoso walks to meet me, I will leap to meet him!" James 4:8 put it this way, "Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you." He is able to run to us, receive us and kiss us back into His sweet fellowship because He literally interposed Himself between us and His wrath on the cross.

Imagine the fear that must have been in this boy's heart as he headed home. It is clearly seen in Luke 15:17-19. He wanted to return home as a "hired servant". Hired servants were lower than slaves. Slaves often came to be considered a part of the family. Hired servants, on the other hand, could be dismissed at any time. He feared being turned away, but he found a father who loved him and who was filled with great compassion for this boy.

Friends, we need not fear God turning us away today. God loves us and if we will come to Him, we will find a warm welcome, not a harsh rebuke, but a loving Father in God.

God bless,
Pastor Moose
