The 'soil' of the heart.
When God sees our lives, He does not merely see what we are today.He sees what His Word can produce in us.He sees kindness where there is anger. Hope where there is despair. Faith where there is doubt. Generosity ...
Listening to the right tune
In Matthew 11:16-19, Jesus challenges us to consider whether our hearts are truly open to God’s voice, even when He speaks in unexpected ways.May we learn to listen to the right tune, responding with faith...
Encountering Christ Through Others
Sometimes the greatest acts of faith are not dramatic miracles or grand achievements. Sometimes they are simple acts of welcome, hospitality, and kindness.THAT is exactly what Jesus speaks about in today’s Gospel, Matthew 10:40-42.
Faithfulness NOT Fear
We humans are social animals.For the most past - we want to belong, we want to avoid conflict, we don’t want to be seen as different.Yet Jesus calls us to a life that sometimes requires courage, conviction, and fa...
People are waiting!
Many people see the needs of others.Far fewer are moved to respond.In Matthew 9:35-10:8, Jesus not only sees the crowds; He is deeply moved by them, and then He calls His followers, both then and now, to share His...
Mercy NOT sacrifice
Matthew was not the sort of person people expected Jesus to call.Yet Jesus walks past Matthew’s tax booth, looks directly at him, and says just two words:“Follow me.”No lecture. No interrogation. No ...
LIFE not just doctrine
The Holy Trinity, perhaps the invitation is not to try to explain the mystery but rather to accept the relationship and to live within it.To receive the love of the Father.To follow the Son....
Unity in Diversity
We read, in Acts 2, tongues of fire descend, the great wind comes, and the disciples receive the Holy Spirit. At this sound, each one of the gathered crowd heard the disciples speaking in their own language.L...
Connection changes everything !
In John 17:1–11 we overhear Jesus praying. Not preaching. Not teaching the crowds. Not debating opponents … He prays.What makes this prayer remarkable is that it comes just before His arrest, suffering, and crucifixion.
Not Alone !
Last week a young lady posted a simple online message :“I have hundreds of followers online, but tonight I have never felt more alone.”Within hours, thousands of people responded. Many admitted they felt exactly t...
The Only Way
That moment - between confusion and trust - is exactly where we meet the disciples in John 14:1–14.Jesus speaks on the night before His crucifixion. The room is heavy. The disciples sense something is wrong. Their world, built ...
Which Voice ?
Messages warning us about “scams” seem to be everywhere these days. Scam websites. Scam emails. Scam text messages. Scam phone calls.Unfortunately people are still falling prey to these crimes.A few days ago I read about a ma...
Stay With Me!
If you are walking through a season of confusion or disappointment, if the world seems full of threats and bluster, violence and confrontation, if life has not turned out the way you hoped - - - you are not alone on the road.Ch...
Hope Returns !
It is evening. The doors are locked. Fear fills the room.These are not bold, confident followers of Christ. These are frightened people, hiding, unsure what comes next.The one they trusted has been crucified. The future they ...
DO NOT BE AFRAID !
That moment - when hope breaks through despair,when life emerges where death seemed certain -that is the heartbeat of Easter morning.
When darkness seems to win!
Jesus knew who He was.That’s why betrayal didn’t break Him.That’s why accusations didn’t shake Him.That’s why the cross didn’t defeat Him.
A King comes gently!
Matthew tells us that Jesus sends two disciples ahead to find a donkey and a colt. This is no accident, no improvisation. Jesus is intentionally fulfilling the prophecy of Zechariah:“See, your king comes to you, gentle and ridi...
When Jesus is late!
Lazarus is dead !Divine love is not always hurried love !Sometimes Jesus delays not because He does not care — but because He intends something far greater.
Who's Blind Now ?
I have my own thoughts about Christianity. Rightly or wrongly, I have in my mind what constitutes Christianity.I do NOT, however, know the mind of God. No one does. As the prophet Isaiah (55:8) says, “For my thought...
Surprises Surprises !
SURPRISES … SURPRISES … The story revealed to us in John 4:5-42, of Jesus, a Jew, talking with a Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well is a story full of them.The barriers to this conversation happening at all are IMMENSE.Bet...
Born Again ?
In both Hebrew and Greek, the same word is used for wind, breath, and spirit. You can’t see the wind, you can’t control it, but you CAN see its effects.Faith, Jesus says, works just like that.This was deeply unset...

Tested NOT Abandoned
Matthew tells us something important and unsettling: Jesus, the beloved Son of God, is led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be TEMPTED.This is not a detour. This is part of a journey. <PAUSE>Many of us a...
