     | 15,187 views

    I fear too often we major on the minor things and neglect the greater aspects of our faith and service unto the Lord. Jesus confronted the hypocrisy and neglect of the Pharisees. This passage reveals similarities to the modern church.

    Clean Hands and Defiled Hearts Mark 7: 1-23 It has been a while since we’ve heard from the scribes and Pharisees, but they were a continual nuisance to the Lord as He ministered among the people. It appears they followed Jesus as often as they could, seeking any means to accuse Him and discredit ...read more

    Now when you have the number of Christians in Jerusalem growing past 5000 to 6000 or 7000 you are going to have logistic problems and jealousy. And they did. The 12 needed help. “Anyone can be great because anyone can serve.” Those are the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

     | 5,143 views

    Queen Vashti was expected to behave in a way contrary to conscience and she refused the king's command. Her refusal was the right decision to make, but it cost her dearly. Living upright will not always gain one the favor of the world.

    The Defiance of the Queen Esther 1: 10-22 As we consider our text today, we must do so in light of the preceding verses. King Ahasuerus had thrown a six month long party, culminating with a seven day finale. He had provided an elaborate escapade for all the princes and servants within the ...read more

     | 2,300 views

    When the disciples knew that Jesus had risen from the dead, their sorrow turned to great joy; their fear turned to boldness. Their faith in Jesus grew stronger, therefore, they were willing to risk their lives for Jesus.

     | 689 views

    Chefs have to learn the exact amounts – say – of salt to add to the food. Too much salt and the food becomes bitter. Too little salt and the food is bland. So it is with our use of "salt" in witnessing!

  • The Journey To Emmaus

    Contributed by Revd Dr Ruwan Palapathwala on Dec 16, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 910 views

    The risen Christ is with us always. He walks with us on every road. He is with us at the heights of joy and celebration and in the pits of terror and despair. He is always with us, but we do not recognise him. Nevertheless, he journeys with us to the end of our lives.

    The gospel reading we just read about Jesus' journey to Emmaus with two persons is one of my favourite resurrection stories and possibly my favourite from the Gospel of Luke. Over the twenty-six years of my ministry, among many other texts in the Gospels, this is one of the most-loved stories I ...read more
