Faith + Hope + Love

Makarios Productions presents #WeCelebrateJesus! For the first time, Jayvine & Friends will lead a Praise&Worship evening in Mauritius! We are desperate to encounter the presence of God through Praise&Worship. Our prayer for this gathering is that people from different walks of life would come together to sing with one voice, as one body, to the One who deserves it all. Who’s with us? Jayvine & Friends will be leading us through brand new worship songs as well as well-known contemporary worship songs brought together to for one massive evening of encounter! There will be a Meet&Greet session after the Praise&Worship for a moment of fellowship. It’s all about spreading the love of Jesus and uplifting the body of Christ!

Philippians 4:6 Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. Here is a very clear instruction. Do not worry about anything. But rather turn your concerns into prayers. God knows what you are facing and He will answer your call. PRAYER: Lord, You know my every care, concern and worry. I place these things… into Your mighty hands and I rest in the knowledge that You are good and You will help me. In Jesus’ Name . Amen.

"Because of the Lord's great Love, we are not consumed. For His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." (Lamentations 3:22-23) Short Cover of "How He Loves us" by John Mark McMillan Be blessed

  Forgiving those who have harmed or wronged us is definitely not easy. Don't feel like you are the only one struggling with forgiveness. All of us have been wronged at some time or another, and if we're honest, we've wronged others too. Everybody will be faced with the question of "How can I ever forgive that person for ____________?" But the Bible is exceedingly clear on the subject of forgiveness. We are to forgive. No exceptions. Even those people who have not come to us asking for forgiveness or in no way show any signs of a repentant heart. Yes, we have to forgive them too. Why we should forgive I know what you're thinking. "But why? Why should I forgive ____________ for doing ____________ to me?" Ephesians 4:32 says, "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." Colossians 3:13 says, "Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you m...

The fear of God is a concept you may have heard, perhaps even in situations outside of church. The fear of God is a different concept to believers than it is to those outside of the faith ( John 3:16-18 ). For unbelievers, it is a fear of God's wrath and judgment. Since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God ( Romans 3:23 ), they stand condemned by Him.  Hebrews 10:31  says, "It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God." As believers, however, our sins are forgiven by the sacrifice of Christ on the cross. "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus" ( Romans 8:1 ). We can boldly approach the throne of grace. Speaking of Christ,  Ephesians 3:12  says, "in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through our faith in him." We fear God in the sense of great reverence and an understanding of God's wrath toward sin ( Romans 1:18 ). Hebrews 12:28-29  is a good text to look at reg...

This is one of those sayings that is ingrained in culture and history, but it does not actually appear in the Bible. It is an ancient proverb found in Babylonian and Hebrew religious tracts and didn't debut in the English language until the 1600s. John Wesley in 1791 wrote in one of his sermons, "Slovenliness is no part of religion. Cleanliness is indeed next to Godliness." And through the years, the concept made its way into modern culture. So does that mean that we never need to step into a shower again? Well, no... Let's break this down and look at cleanliness in two ways. Physical Cleanness Does having a spotless bedroom, perfectly groomed dog, and just having gotten out of the shower mean you are more godly? No! In fact, the New Testament is incredibly clear that outward cleaning does not affect the heart. "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are...

Forgiveness of all our sins is one of the beautiful mysteries of the Christian faith. Firstly, how can God possibly forgive such rebellious and flawed people? And secondly, how can Jesus' sacrifice on the Cross be sufficient to cover past, present,  and  future sins? Our answer lies both in Scripture and in exercising a bit of logic.                                                                                                                     Let's look at one of the most beloved passages about our salvation,   1 Peter 1:3-12 .
