     | 589 views

    Pentecost was not merely a historical event—it was the dawn of a new era. The Holy Spirit descended, Peter preached with boldness, and hearts were pierced. The crowd, convicted, asked, “What should we do?” - Peter’s response is our focus—a divine blueprint for transformation.

    Go! And Be Transformed: The Call to Repentance and New Life - Acts 2:38 Acts 2:38 (NLT): Peter replied, “Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy ...read more

    Recognizing the false securities in our lives and learning to hold onto Jesus as our firm and secure anchor.

    Hey everyone! Today, we're going to talk where we put our hope; the thing we hold onto when life gets tough. What I want you to walk away with is: there's only one thing we can truly rely on, and that's Jesus. Before we dive in, let me show you something.

    Sometimes the biggest gap is between family members. God teaches us about bridge building through Jesus’ story of the prodigal son. We should offer grace to those we have broken relationships with and celebrate when those relationships are restored.

    Today, we're talking about family drama. You know, those fights with your siblings or disagreements with your parents. We're going to learn from a story Jesus told about a son who messed up big time, but his dad threw a party when he came back home. We're talking about offering grace to those we've ...read more

    God loves us and wants to be close to us. Despite our sins and shortcomings, He invites us to come to Him for healing and restoration.

    Ever played that game where you think you see your friend from across the mall, so you start waving like a maniac, only to realize it's a total stranger? Yeah, we've all been there. It's funny how things can look different from a distance, right? Well, sometimes, we treat Jesus the same way. We ...read more

     | 660 views

    This exposition of Luke chapter 15 begins with a very personal story, highlighting how God even uses human frailty as a means to His grace.

    Once upon a time, in the summertime, there was a 16-year-old young man struggling to find his way. His father held a particular secular and materialistic philosophy about life and making meaning in the world—something the young man had tried to embrace, but it ultimately left him feeling empty. ...read more

    Introduction: • "In Luke 15, we encounter a story often called 'The Parable of the Prodigal Son,' a title that highlights the son's wasteful choices and, in a way, keeps the focus on our own shortcomings. • But I believe this name misses the heart of the story. A truer title might ...read more

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 16, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 457 views

    The greatest privilege to anyone who puts their faith is Jesus is that we become sons and daughters of the Most High God. As children of God we approach God with the confidence that we can pray to Him and draw near to Him knowing that He is merciful and gracious to us.

    Today’s meditation is based on Galatians 3:26, “It is through faith that all of you are God's children in union with Christ Jesus.” (GNB) The above mentioned verse explains to us that everyone who has put their faith in Jesus Christ are children of God. We have the blessed privilege of being ...read more
