    When we come to the faith and are baptised, we are forever held in Jesus’ arms.

    Only a few Sundays ago, I preached on the story of Jesus picking up a little child and holding him in his arms (Mark 9:30-37) St. Mark did not name the child. But guess what? A tradition in the church says the child is none other than Ignatius, a native of Syria. This is the boy who later became ...read more

    Jesus calls every disciple to daily self-denial and Spirit-empowered cross-bearing that ends not in loss but in resurrection life.

    (Losing to Gain) Part 1 – The Comfortable Illusion It sounds so inviting: Life is a beach. The phrase promises calm tides, soft sand, a life where the hardest choice is whether to nap or swim. We crave that ease. Sometimes we even remake God in that image—faith as a sunny getaway where problems ...read more

    Understand and appreciate the cost, power, and sacrifice of Jesus' love, which is the foundation of our faith and obedience to Him.

    Good morning, church family! Today, we will be diving into the profound depth of Jesus' love—the cost, the power, and the sacrifice it holds for each one of us.

     | 737 views

    Main Idea: God not only suffers for us, but also with us. His co-suffering love is demonstrated through Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. As followers of Jesus, we are called to co-suffer with others, bringing life and healing.

    You know how sometimes life just sucks? Well, Jesus gets it. He knew He was about to go through some really rough stuff, like dying on a cross. But He also knew that by going through that, He'd be able to help a lot of people. Just like when you're playing a tough level in a video game, you know ...read more
