Deneisha Campbell-Davy  Family Life Director, Kings SDA Love That Never Fails Key Text: 1 Corinthians 13:4–8 Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Lovenever faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. As humans, we are social beings, therefore, we experience various types of love we often experience affection that warms us, commitment that steadies us and passion that inspires us. Yet most of us have also felt love that disappoints us, a love that falter under pressure, or fade with time. In contrast to these fragile versions of love, God through His word, calls us to experience someth...

  Checking Your Heart Posture Key Text: “Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” — Psalm 139:23–24 In the 1990s, a saying swept through youth culture and even resonated with adults: “Check yourself before you wreck yourself.” It was a simple reminder that careless living and unchecked attitudes can lead to unnecessary destruction. Many people are skilled at extrospection . We look outward and analyze everything and everyone around us. We can pinpoint the faults of others with precision. We can critique, evaluate, and diagnose what’s wrong “out there.” But introspection is far less natural. It is a deliberate act. A spiritual discipline. A courageous choice. It requires honesty— real honesty. It calls us to stop deflecting and start reflecting. It demands that we look into the mirror of our soul and allow God to reveal who we truly are beneath the surface. When D...

  Let Peace Protect You Key Text: Colossians 3:15 (KJV) “And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.” Sharon Campbell-Danvers  Survivor  Growing up, much of my life was surrounded by fighting. My mother and stepfather fought. My siblings fought. We lived in an environment where several aunts, uncles, and cousins were close by, and that brought even more conflict and disagreement. Physical and verbal abuse were part of our daily reality, and many days felt extremely long and difficult. The greatest sense of peace I experienced as a child was when I was at school—but even there, I found myself fighting. My teachers often asked why I looked so serious. Smiling became something I forced myself to do just to survive. As my life progressed, I began to yearn deeply for peace. I prayed to God to give me the peace that “passeth all understanding.” Sometimes I would take my mat and go to the bush or the gully,...

Love Without Limits  Scripture : “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.” — 1 John 4:7 (NKJV) Jusene Brown  Kings Seventh-day Adventist Church  Living here in the beautiful Cayman Islands, we are surrounded by the vast blue seas. Even if everyone were to enter the ocean at the same time, there would still be more than enough water left. If we were to scoop some out or take a drink, the ocean would not run dry. This is a powerful reminder of God’s love. No matter how many times we have failed Him, His love remains abundant and available. God’s love is never exhausted, never diminished, and never withheld. As children of God, we are called to extend that same love to others even when they have failed us. Loving others is not always easy, but it is evidence that we truly know God. Recently, I visited Jamaica and noticed something beautiful at my aunt’s home. After the destruction caused by Hurricane Melissa,...

  Healing Begins Within Deneisha Campbell-Davy  Family Life Director  Kings Seventh-day Adventist Church  “The LORD is close to the broken hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”  Psalm 34:18 (NIV) A year and a half ago, I lost my sister, she was not just a sister to my siblings and I. She was like a mother, a teacher, a good cook and a trusted friend. To the children, not just her children but to all children and elderly, she was like “Santa” always bearing gifts. During her illness in 2023, I was fasted and prayed earnestly, sincerely 3 days per week for her healing and the healing of two other members of our church. However, in 2024, the other two individuals survived their illnesses, but my sister, my beloved sister, died. I was angry, I was hurting, my heart was not just broken, it was shattered. As one of the individuals shared their testimony of God’s goodness, I became very angry at God, not that I wasn’t happy for that person, but I asked Go...

WHEN YOU DON’T KNOW THE SONG BUT GOD PLAYS THE RHYTHM Sharon Campbell-Danvers  Key Text-  “The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever.”  Psalm 138:8 (NKJV) In November 2025, I had to do a series of tests based on requests from the doctors. One day I went for an appointment and I heard a song in the triage room. It was the first time I was hearing the song and I kept humming the tune for the entire day.  After reaching home I could not remember the words all I could remember was the tune as the phrase “I will wait for You.” I searched YouTube and found the song and man, it was powerful. I played that song repeatedly each day and it gave me a deep assurance that God is with me. Fast forward to a few weeks after, I was booked for an appointment to do a particular test. Before entering the room I was praying earnestly and singing the same song. I told God that I am not afraid but I do not like needles so just take care of that ...

A Love That Leads “And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.” — 1 Corinthians 13:13 (KJV) Sharon Campbell-Danvers  Recently, we desperately needed someone to iron. The clothes had piled up, and we were truly behind. We even arranged for someone to come, but at the last minute she didn’t show up. Then I heard my husband say he had run out of clean work shirts. Now, I will be honest, I do not enjoy ironing. I don’t mind washing, cooking, or cleaning, but ironing has never been my passion. Still, I said quietly in my heart, “Lord, You know how I feel about this… but let me do what I can.” I decided to give a few hours and simply serve. When my husband came home and saw what I had accomplished in just a few hours, he was shocked. He said, “I’m going to pay you, because if someone had come, I would have paid them and they wouldn’t have done this much.” He handed me $100. On top of that, he placed a big dragon fruit and a bottle of wine lo...

“Heart Check” Theme: The Heart at the Centre Key Text: Proverbs 4:23 (KJV)  “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” Sharon Campbell-Danvers Back home in Jamaica, we had to put grills on every door and window, and more recently, we even added cameras to the house. All of this was done to give us a sense of protection. Yet, even with those measures in place, I still sometimes feel concerned. When I recently went home, seeing all the grills again took some getting used to. I had to keep reminding myself to lock the doors behind me and double-check everything. I was so diligent that it practically stressed me out. Then it made me pause and reflect. What if we devoted the same level of effort, energy, and attention to guarding our hearts? Proverbs 4:23 (KJV)  “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” This verse reminds us that our hearts, our thoughts, emotions, and inner lives shape everything we do. When we ...

Who Pastors the Pastor? Galatians 6:2 (KJV) “Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.” Sharon Campbell-Danvers  Shepherdess  Recently, I have been reflecting deeply on many of the situations facing pastoral families in our church and other denominations. As I look at where God has brought me from and consider the times in which we are living, I have become more reflective and more understanding. Yet, I realize that not everyone has reached this place of awareness. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to speak with many shepherdesses and pastors, and many of them struggle more than people realize. When you place yourself on the front lines of the battle for Christ, the attacks will be fierce. Satan will come against the church, and he will often target pastors’ families and children. When these areas are weakened, the influence and effectiveness of the pastor can be deeply impacted. Personally, I have wrestled with the level of support and mentoring...

Stepping Into February with Confidence   Key Text: “Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 1:6  Arlene Johnson-McLeod  Kings Seventh-day Adventsit Church As we step into a new month, it’s easy to carry the weight of doubts, unfinished goals, or past mistakes. But God reminds us through Paul that the work He started in our lives is not abandoned—it is ongoing and purposeful. Every step, every struggle, and every small victory is part of His plan to shape us into the people He created us to be. Confidence doesn’t mean we won’t face challenges—it means trusting that God is at work even when we can’t see the full picture. We have completed the first month of 2026- WITH GOD!   Say it with me  “ I will trust God to take me forward boldly, knowing that He is the same God who started a good work in me and will faithfully continue it.” My friend Marcia had been out o...

  He Restores My Soul Scripture: Psalm 23:3 He restores my soul …… NKJV Junene Brown Kings Seventh-day Adventist Church A few weeks ago, after leaving home and getting on the road, I noticed my battery was at 10%. I watched it slowly drain—5%, then 2%. Soon, my phone, which was in good condition and working perfectly fine, became completely unusable. I had no charger and no power bank, which was unusual for me because I normally make sure I am prepared. The screen shortly went dark. The apps would not open. No matter how many times I tapped it, it would not respond. The phone was not broken; it was simply drained. Many of us are like that phone. We are running on 2%, emotionally, spiritually, and mentally, we are drained. Yet we still show up to church, to work, and to our daily responsibilities. We smile. We function. We get through the day. But inside, we are depleted. Our patience is thin. Our joy feels distant. Even simple tasks feel heavy. Psalm 23:3 says, “He restores my sou...
