It comes that time of year again when people get busy and feel excited about Christmas. Have you ever wondered why we indulge in enjoyable activities at this time? Why do we get together with our loved ones? Why do we feel especially charitable and generous?

The United Nations was set up after the most bloody conflict in history, in the desire to bring peace to all mankind.

For this year's Rekindle month, we are going to ask ourselves some fundamental questions about ourselves. Why did God put me here on earth? Why did he plant me in this church? Why did he entrust me with so many blessings? All too often we answer such questions primarily through the lenses of our culture, which makes us essentially indistinguishable from the world. However, when we answer these questions through the perspective of the bible, it will set our hearts ablazed and revolutionise every aspect of our lives.
