Happy New Year. As people of faith, we have every right to express the customary New Year's greeting, even though we have just left behind what will undoubtedly go down in history as the most catastrophic year in Jamaica. This month, we will be sharing from the Epistle of John, particularly the first epistle. Reverend Jacob McLean is the Pastor of Hampton Green Missionary Church in Kingston, Jamaica, and Chairman of The Missionary Church Association in Jamaica.

This morning, let us consider our role in spreading and responding to the "Good News". As we come to the end of another calendar year, there is much for which we can give thanks to God, personally and nationally. What are you thanking God for today? What has God brought you through this year? How have you experienced the manifold blessings of God in your life? Be sure to take some time to give thanks to God from a grateful heart. Today, we reference Luke 2:15-20 in our reflections. Reverend Omar Morrison is the Pastor of First Missionary Church in Kingston, Jamaica.

Merry Christmas to you from Reverend Omar Morrison and his family, as well as from The Missionary Church Association in Jamaica. Many persons still do not understand the significance of the birth of Jesus. For them, Christmas is about shopping, gifts, the bright lights, family, food, parties, and pleasure. Or perhaps some vacation time from working all year round. But Christmas is all about Jesus, who He is, and the difference He has come to make in our lives and in our dark world. Today, we continue our Advent reflections on the Birth of Jesus as recorded in Luke 2:1-14. Reverend Omar Morrison is the Pastor of First Missionary Church in Kingston, Jamaica.

So far, in our Advent reflections from the Gospel of Luke, we have seen that Zachariah and Elizabeth were righteous in God's sight, as noted in Luke 1:6. That beautiful description from God challenges us to make the pursuit of righteousness before God a central part of our lives in this Advent season. Today, we will consider some important lessons from the birth of Jesus foretold in Luke 1:26-38, as our reference text. Reverend Omar Morrison is the Pastor of First Missionary Church in Kingston, Jamaica.

What does it mean to be "Righteous"? Is being "Righteous" important to you? What does "Righteousness" have to do with Advent? We will address these questions over the next few Sundays as we focus on the Advent Season, using Luke's Gospel message in sharing these reflections. Today, let us consider "The Blessedness of Being Righteous Before God" (Luke 1:5-25). Reverend Omar Morrison is the Pastor of First Missionary Church in Kingston, Jamaica.

We have been briefly examining the Kingdom of God. We have examined "The Lord of the Kingdom" and concluded that Jesus Christ is the Lord, or King, of the Kingdom. We have also considered "The Life of the Kingdom" and "The Language of the Kingdom". Today, as we conclude this series, we now consider "The Love of the Kingdom". It is my prayer that we will allow God to rule and reign in our lives, that we will speak the language of Heaven, and live out the life of love as citizens of "The Kingdom of God". Reverend Ronald Webster is the Pastor of the Hopewell circuit of Missionary Churches in Hanover, Jamaica.

Good morning. We have been briefly exploring the concept of "The Kingdom of God", that realm in which God rules and reigns as King. So far, we have considered "The Lord of The Kingdom" and "The Life of The Kingdom". Today, we turn our attention to "The Language of The Kingdom". Reverend Ronald Webster is the Pastor of the Hopewell circuit of Missionary Churches in Hanover, Jamaica.

Last week, we began exploring the concept of "The Kingdom of God" as revealed in the Bible, the Word of God. We highlighted that the Lord of the Kingdom is Jesus Christ, God in the flesh. Today, we examine in greater detail "The Life of the Kingdom". We will consider two areas, "The Message of the Kingdom" and "The Mandate of the Kingdom". Reverend Ronald Webster is the Pastor of the Hopewell circuit of Missionary Churches in Hanover, Jamaica.

I greet you in the matchless name of Jesus Christ, our soon-coming King. We aim to explore, over the next few weeks, a crucial subject that has not received the due attention it deserves: "The Kingdom of God". Is there such thing as "The Kingdom of God"? What does the Bible teach about "The Kingdom of God"? Is this something we should learn more about? Would our living be more impactful if we understood the concept? Does it matter? In this series, we want to consider the following: "The Lord of the Kingdom", "The Life of the Kingdom", "The Language of the Kingdom", and "The Love of the Kingdom". Reverend Ronald Webster is the Pastor of the Hopewell circuit of Missionary Churches in Hanover, Jamaica.

Today, we focus on “The Coming of the Holy Spirit”. This “Coming” has to do with His leading the Godhead in active service among humankind.

We have often heard it said that the Holy Spirit is only but a force that influences our lives. This, however, is not the sum total of the Bible’s teaching concerning the Holy Spirit.

Today, we focus on “The Nature of the Holy Spirit”. Reverend Ronald Webster is the Pastor of the Hopewell circuit of Missionary Churches in Hanover, Jamaica.

He has been going through the beautiful list of virtues that Paul calls the "Fruit of the Spirit". Today, we come to the final aspect, "Self-Control".

Today, Reverend Dalkeith Bennett, we continue our journey through "The Fruit of The Spirit" as found in Galatians 5:22-23. This episode focuses on the Fruit of "Gentleness".
