(1) Church Logo
The Second Coming of Jesus Christ is the theme from which Blessed Hope Bible-Presbyterian Church got her name. It is based on Titus 2:13 “Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ”.
Our church logo depicts our Lord’s imminent return. Believers are to be “looking for that blessed hope.”

(1) O Love that Will Not Let Me Go
Born in Scotland in 1842, Dr. George Matheson from his earliest childhood had deteriorating eyesight. By the time he was eighteen he became totally blind. In spite of the handicap, he distinguished himself as a brilliant student at Edinburgh University, earning a doctorate. Later, he established himself as an eminent preacher and writer and was honoured by an invitation from Queen Victoria to preach at Balmoral Castle.
When the young lady to whom he was engaged found out that he had become blind, she refused to marry him. Out of that rejection, he wrote of a love that was steadfast and unfailing amidst all the circumstances of life, gave us the devotional treasure, “O Love that Will Not Let Me Go.”

(1) Blessedness of Growing in the LORD (Psalm 119:97-144)
The psalmist experienced the good hand of God in his life. The LORD delivered, comforted, loved, chastened moulded, helped and upheld him through life’s pathways. The LORD was very real in his life. He could not see the invisible God but he experienced His abiding presence. He drew close to God by meditating on His Word. He saw the value of God’s Word throughout his life’s journey.
