And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.2 We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the ...read more

The 6th Word from the Cross. Jesus has accomplised what only he could. In him we have an ending and a beginning. This was preached at a service of believer’s baptism for 3 young people.

If we want to finish well, then we must love deeply. That means we must pursue reconciliation, reach out to strangers, and serve each other with the gifts and strength God abundantly and extravagantly provides to every believer.

Others are saying that the end of the world will come on ...read more
