    The sermon explores the self-giving love and forgiveness of Jesus, demonstrated through his response to mockery and persecution during his crucifixion, as depicted in Luke 23:33-43, Psalm 22:7-8, 15, 18, 24, and Matthew 5:39, 44.

    Welcome church! Today we’re going to look at a passage from the Gospel of Luke involving the crucifixion. We talk a lot about crucifixion as Christians because the cross is a central part of our faith. In 2004, the movie The Passion of the Christ was released. It’s a movie about the final hours of ...read more

    Jesus’ reply to his parents reveal to us 3 things: (1)He knows His identity; (1)His heart is with God; (3)He is concerned with His Father’s business. Learn from Him.

    In those days, they travelled in caravans and relatives and whole villages often travel together and keep an eye on each other’s children. That explains why the parents lost Jesus. Joseph might have thought he was with Mary, Mary might have thought he was with one of their relatives. After ...read more

    It's not the wise and sophisticated intellectuals admired and looked up to in the world, who are foremost in the kingdom. We need to be born again as a little child into the Kingdom of God, relying on Him always!

    At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the ...read more
