Episode 42-2026 – The Samaritan Woman at The Well
Good morning. Today we continue the series of meditations from John's Gospel. Once again, our focus is on the Samaritan Woman Jesus met at the well(John 4:5-30). Two weeks ago we shared that when this woman encountered Jesus, she left her burden at His feet and left with a blessing. Last week we shared that she was a culturally broken woman who became courageously outspoken. This morning I hope to
Episode 41-2026 – The Samaritan Woman at The Well

This is found in John chapter 4, and we focus on verses 5-30. As a woman, she was kept down by society's prevailing culture. However, Jesus spoke to her to let her know she had value as a person.

Episode 40-2026 – The Samaritan Woman at The Well
Good morning. Today we start a series of reflections from John's Gospel. In this episode, we focus on the passage in which Jesus spoke with a Samaritan woman at a well. This is found in John chapter 4, and we focus on verses 5-30. This Samaritan woman got a glimpse of eternity. She moved from an appetite for things that could not satisfy to an appetite for the things that satisfied her soul.

Episode 39-2026 – Now is a Good Time to Repent
Good morning, all. As we continue our reflection, let us return to where we started as we earnestly look at the current state of affairs of our country and what, from Scripture, should be our necessary response to deal with the matter.

Episode 38-2026 – The Day of the Lord and its Surety
Good morning, all. We are still reading from the book of the Prophet Joel, looking at his prophecy, which we said applies to our current state of affairs in our country and, by extension, the world.

Episode 37-2026 – Repentance Leads to Restoration
Good morning, all. We are still reading from the book of the Prophet Joel, underscoring the need for repentance in the current state of affairs in our country. Today, we are going deeper as we look at what true repentance brings. For Joel, when we genuinely repent, we experience the Lord's mercy, grace, loving kindness, and salvation. So today's focus is: Repentance leads to Restoration.

Episode 36-2026 – The Necessity for Repentance
Good morning all, I hope you are well. This week we will be reading from the Book of the Prophet Joel as we try to underscore God's call for us to repent. Hence, our focus for today is "The Necessity for Repentance".
As we have been observing the state of affairs in our country, and the world by extension, over the last couple of years, the call to repent rings true, sharp and poignant. Like m
Episode 35-2026 – Unchanged Realities in Changing Times
This morning we conclude our series which highlights the fact that in our human experience we are constantly faced with changes. We have said we face two things, the reality of change and the unchanged realities. In the face of our changes Jesus Christ remains the only constant. He is dependable and will ultimately take us in the direction that leads to that desired and decisive change that we all
Episode 34-2026 – Unchanged Realities in Changing Times
We continue to pursue our focus this morning as it relates to Change and Newness. Ever so often, we come up with something new. It is usually hailed and promoted as a game-changer. The discoverer or inventor receives recognition or reward, and oftentimes people swear by this new invention. Very often, however, this new thing becomes old, stale, ordinary, in need of improvement or replacement. Let
Episode 33-2026 – Unchanged Realities in Changing Times
For the past two weeks, we have kept a focus on new things. The fact is, we are a people with a great fascination with the new. We have seen a wide range of developments in a number of areas for which we celebrate newness. Let us reflect on John's Gospel, chapter 3 and verses 1-8.
Reverend Rennard White is a retired Pastor and member of Tower Hill Missionary Church in Kingston, Jamaica. He is a
Episode 32-2026 – Unchanged Realities in Changing Times
As we continue our reflections, let us refer to St. Matthew's Gospel, chapter 4 and verses 12-17. When our Lord came to earth, He found a world in crisis. Mankind was in all sorts of difficulties. As it was then, so it is now. The scope of mankind's dilemma spawned the range of human experiences. In the midst of the fast-paced changes we face today, some realities remain the same.
Reverend Ren
Episode 31-2026 – Unchanged Realities in Changing Times
As the world moves at great speed, virtually reinventing itself at an accelerated pace, some things remain the same. These things constitute the basis for the church's ministry today. Human beings are lost. As the Bible says, this is mankind's greatest predicament. We stand under the judgment of a just God in our sin and rebellion. Let us look to Luke 13:1-9.
Reverend Rennard White is a retired
Episode 30-2026 – Christianity, A Distinct Identity
Thank you for joining us today for our final segment in our series on Christianity, A Distinct Identity. Over the past few weeks, we have journeyed through the first chapter of 1 Peter.

Today we close the series by looking at the ultimate destination of our identity
Episode 29-2026 – Christianity, A Distinct Identity
Today, we continue our series on Christianity, A Distinct Identity. In our previous sessions, we discussed that God called us to be a set-apart people. Today we take the third part of our journey, "Obeying the Truth in Sincere Love". The ultimate evidence of that distinct identity is how we treat one another. Our passage today is 1 Peter 1:22-25

Good morning, listeners. I greet you well in the precious Name of Jesus Christ. For July, I will be sharing a four-part series under the theme "Christianity - A Distinct Identity".

Episode 24-2026 – Meditations from John’s Gospel
Good morning. We continue our series in John's gospel. In John chapter 9, verses 1-23, Jesus had healed a man born blind.

This morning, we will examine John 9:24-41.

Episode 16-2026: The Parable of The Ten Virgins
Good morning. Today, we share the well-known parable of the Ten Virgins found in Matthew 25:1-13. If we were to look at this parable through our Western eyes, we would probably struggle, as we are not used to a wedding ceremony or reception stretching for more than one day. However, there are at least four takeaways to share from this passage.

Episode 15-2026: Jesus Is Passing By
Good morning. Today, I want to speak to you on the topic "Jesus is Passing By". This story comes from Mark 10:46-52, Luke 18:35-43 and Matthew 20:29-34. Jesus was leaving Jericho with a large crowd following Him. From this story, my question to you is, have you heard about Jesus? Like blind Bartimaeus, you can cry out to Jesus.

Episode 14-2026: The Gift of God
Good morning. As we continue to celebrate and acknowledge the Lenten period and what it means to us, I want to reflect on Romans 5:12-19. We reflect on what Christ has done for you and me. He went to the cross of Calvary.
Paul, in his great theological treatise to the Romans, made a comparison between life and death. Paul stated that sin entered our existence through one man, Adam, and death c
Episode 13-2026: Hope in The Times of Crises
Good morning. Over the last couple of weeks, we have been briefly exploring the idea of Hope in Crises. We have said that hope is eagerly expecting something in the future, while crisis is our present reality, the situation we find ourselves in in the present moment. Do we have hope? Is there something better ahead of us?
The scripture is clear that Jesus Christ is indeed hope. Today, we examin
Episode 12-2026: Hope in The Times of Crises
Good morning. Today, we wish to speak about "The Crisis Within and The Hope of Victory". Does the believer, or Child of God, face crisis within? If so, how will this crisis be resolved? Is there hope for the struggler?
Reverend Ronald Webster is the Pastor of Hopewell Missionary Church in Hopewell, Hanover, Jamaica.
Episode 11-2026: Hope in The Times of Crises
Good morning. We began our study last week, exploring the subject of "Hope in Crises". Last week, we looked at the definition for Hope and how the Bible identifies the believers' hope as being "In Christ", not just in this world, but in and for the future. Today, we will explore "The Crisis in Creation" and the hope made available through Jesus Christ.
Reverend Ronald Webster is the Pastor of H

Good morning. Our study this month covers the idea of "Hope in the Times of Crises". In this study, we will consider a definition and a biblical position on Hope.

We will end the series with an exploration of crisis within and a

Episode 06-2026: The Believers’ Waiting – Our Blessed Hope
It is a travesty to know that what the Lord has intended to serve as the believers' hope and comfort has become their despair and distress. Far too many believers do not read or study the teachings of the Second Advent of our Lord Jesus Christ. His Second Coming was always intended to bring joy and hope for Christians of all ages.
Good morning, everyone, and Maranatha. This series is titled "Jo
