Tokarara Christian Fellowship (TCF) during Sunday’s Service, just three days before Christmas was led by Peter Pyambaru, speaking on the significance of Christmas as the birthday of Jesus the Son of God as well as our counselor. Referencing Isaiah 9:6, he emphasized the importance of Jesus not just during Christmas season but also in our everyday lives. Mr. Pyambaru urged the congregation and especially the youths to seek out Jesus during times of crisis as the Bible refers to him as a wonderful counselor ["For to us a child is born, ... And he will be called Wonderful Counselor...” Isaiah 9:6]. “If we are facing problems in our lives, we must seek God; come to Jesus who will counsel us from God’s perspective, not man’s.” “God has given our youths a purpose, but young people still stray away from the right path because we neglect the wise teachings of our Saviour.” “Jesus will show us the way because he knows the mind of God.” He further gave examples from the Bible itself from figures like Nicodemus and the apostle Peter. “Jesus counseled Nicodemus, a pharisee, and gave him God's perspective – he was confused about God’s word but Jesus helped him.” “Peter was also counseled by Jesus, despite being an expert fisherman, and Jesus made a him a fisher of men.” Mr. Pyambaru further stated that too often we seek out solutions from human teaching and philosophies which leads to unfruitful results and a distorted view of God. He further thanked the youths and Sunday school children who put up a wonderful Christian drama during the church’s carol's night depicting the birth of Christ. A presentation which he commented was well done, amazing and inspiring. The church will also have a Christmas Day service at 9:30 am Wednesday (25/12/2024).
