Finished Work Of God Series

Contributed by Colin Mcgeer on Jun 1, 2023

Jesus said, "It is Finished" Was man's redemption really finished? We would still be doomed if Jesus' death without the resurrection and ascension did not happen. We still wait for complete redemption. We eagerly wait for the redemption of our bodies.

There is such satisfaction in completing a task. In finishing a marathon. Like when I finished running the up Comrades 90km race. I lay on the grass on my back after the finish line holding my medal in my hand, tears running out of my eyes and I said to myself that nothing ever in my life would be ...read more

The Way Of The Cross

Contributed by Dawn Duryea on Mar 4, 2024

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.
