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...

“Held, Helped, and Strengthened” Theme: Strength to Stand, Grace to Grow Ephesians 6:10 (KJV)  “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.” Sharon Campbell-Danvers Kings Seventh-day Adventist Church Founder-Daughters Arise Ministries This verse reminds us that our strength does not come from ourselves, but from the Lord. When we rely on His power, we are able to stand firm, overcome challenges, and continue growing in faith, no matter what we face. A few months ago, a friend gave me two baby rabbits. When I received them, I noticed that one of the rabbits was walking with a limp. As I looked at her, I realized that not many people would want her, so I told the lady, “That’s the one I want.” She was a bit uncertain because of the limp, but I had already purposed in my heart that she was coming home with me. I fell in love with her instantly. Later, when she had a baby, I noticed that the baby also walked with a limp. I was concerned about how she w...

Surrendered Hands, Available Heart   Key Text:  “Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?’ And I said, ‘Here am I. Send me!’” — Isaiah 6:8  Arlene Johnson-McLoed Kings Seventh-day Adventist Church There comes a moment in every believer’s life when God’s call is less about ability and more about availability. Isaiah’s response did not begin with confidence or qualifications—it began with surrender. Standing in God’s presence, he simply offered himself. That willingness opened the door for God to work powerfully through his life. I once spoke with someone who felt God nudging them to encourage a coworker they barely knew. They hesitated—worried it would feel awkward or unnecessary—but finally obeyed. That short conversation turned out to be exactly what the coworker needed during a difficult season. It wasn’t planned or polished, just obedience. That’s how God often works: through small, surrendered “yes” moments that have lasti...

 Theme:   Empowered for Purpose Acts 1:8 (KJV)  “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” Sharon Campbell-Danvers Kings Seventh-day Adventist Church I once had a car that I truly loved. My silver Honda was so faithful that I called her Betsy. When I went on vacation, I loaned her to a friend. A few days later, she called and said Betsy was not moving as fast as she should. Eventually, she had to park her. When I returned, I was told Betsy needed a specific part. It took months for that part to arrive in the Cayman Islands. Betsy was parked under the ackee tree for protection, unable to move. She had oil and all the other parts, but she was missing one small hose. When the part finally arrived, life was restored to my beloved car, and she began to drive again with full power. That story reflects the true essence...

Let the Word Be Your Guide Psalm 119:105-  “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” Sharon Campbell-Danvers Kings Seventh-Day Adventist Church This verse reminds us that God’s Word gives direction, clarity, and guidance for daily living. Just as a lamp lights the way in darkness, Scripture helps us see where to step, what to avoid, and how to move forward in faith. How many of us can remember our former Adventist Youth programmes, where young people and the entire church would study the Morning Watch texts during the week and then recite them on Sabbath? Those activities created excitement and even healthy competition. Back then, we did not have so many phones. The physical Bible was our reference book. We played Sword in Hand, racing to find chapters and verses, and that, too, brought great enthusiasm. Those Scriptures became etched in our minds, grounding us in the Word and helping us retain it as we grew older. Today, with technology at our fingertips, the...

  Key Text: “But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then  your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.” — Matthew 6:6 Dr. Terry-Ann Robinson  Kings SDA Church  When Gavin and I started dating, we spent hours talking. We met at the University of Technology—he lived on campus, and I commuted from home for classes. During holiday breaks, when school was not in session, we would spend hours on the phone. It was during this time that we both got our first cell phones—a flip phone for me and a Nokia 3310 for him. That’s when we talked even more. Sometimes, I would fall asleep while still on the call! The transition to mobile phones meant we no longer had to talk in the public space of the living room where our parents’ landline was. Now, we could talk freely, share our hearts, and connect deeply without distractions—as long as we had credit. Jesus invites us into that same kind of conversation ...
