     | 12,464 views

    If you want to be free from the pressure to perform and impress others, don’t seek to impress others with yourself. Instead, just be impressed with what Christ has done for you on the cross.

    Forced Cross Series

    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Oct 8, 2023
     | 1,381 views

    The call to serve God becomes a forced cross when the going gets tough. We love smooth running of life. But through challenges we meet God’s power and miracle working hand. Let’s keep fighting for God with his help.

    Compelled to bear his cross: Matthew 27:32. “And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.” Cyrene was a city of Libya, in north Africa, lying west of Egypt. Cyrene had a large Jewish population, and Simon was very likely in Jerusalem for ...read more

JOHN 3:14. “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up.” This refers back to an incident during the wilderness wanderings of the children of Israel (cf.

    Crossing Jordan

     | 2,333 views

    We face a greater Jordan to cross than the Children of Israel did. But because it is the same LORD who leads us, we shall cross impassible Jordan.

    Crossing Jordan Joshua 3:7-17 Moses had taken Israel as far as he could. It wasn’t because Moses had succumbed to old age as Deuteronomy 34 tells us he was still vigorous. It is because He had failed earlier to glorify Yahweh in front of the people at Meribah and struck the rock in anger rather ...read more

    The Way Of The Cross

    In today’s Gospel reading, Peter responds to Jesus’ announcement that the Messiah will have to suffer and die by denying the cross. Peter is in essence denying the truth of this teaching – that the Messiah must suffer and by extension, his disciples.

    Last week we heard about Jesus being tempted in the wilderness right after his Baptism. That’s the way it feels sometimes – you just make a decision and then things happen that immediately bring your decision into question. This wilderness, of course, is metaphorical and now we find ourselves in ...read more
