    We like the comfort of normalcy. But what happens when your normal is turned upside-down? We' re all having to deal with a new normal. Many people are panicking. It's important that we don't get caught up in it. What can help us to stay stable in times of instability?

    BEING STABLE IN TIMES OF INSTABILITY Although spontaneity can be exciting, I think most of the time we like structure and routine. Unless we're watching a suspenseful movie, we like to know what's expected to happen. We like the comfort of normalcy. But what happens when your normal is ...read more

    May we like Peter, recognise whose hands to hold, who to call on for help, in moments of adversity. Indeed his hands are never too far from reaching us in times of trouble.

     | 4,925 views

    A disciple is someone who imitates the example of Jesus and who follows the instructions of Jesus no matter how often he gets interrupted by the world. Today, we’ll look at how that played out in the life of one disciple, in one of the most famous stories in the Gospels.

    What is a disciple, Part 2: In the Eye of the Storm Mark 6: 45-52; Matthew 16:22-33 We are in the second week of talking specifically about what it means to be a disciple of Jesus. You might remember last week we said that “A disciple is someone who imitates the example of Jesus and who follows ...read more

    Peter, one of the apostles of Christ measures the life of many believers today. He made mistakes, failed a couple of times and succeeded in other areas. Let us learn from his life.

    TEXT: Matthew 14:26-31 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.

    Nineteenth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Cycle A - 19th Sunday, Year A -- Walking On Water

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on May 30, 2020
     | 2,985 views

    There is an element of test in Peter’s condition, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” Peter asking Jesus “to command” him suggests the alignment of Peter’s will with the will of the Lord.

    IN THAT BOAT, which the church has always identified as herself, is where we want to be because it can provide the sure way for us to get to the other shore, to heaven; and, in this life, take us to new horizons. But along the way we are caught in a storm and face danger. 1.We need to pray ...read more
