    Tonight, we gather in the sacred shadow of the upper room, on the night when Jesus showed us what love really looks like. It’s not dressed up in flowery words or grand gestures meant to impress. It’s gritty. It’s raw. And it’s humbling.

    Opening Prayer Let us pray: Gracious God, as we gather on this holy night, we are drawn to the upper room where Your Son shared His final meal with His disciples. Open our hearts to hear Your Word anew, and may we be inspired to love one another as He has loved us. Amen. Introduction Tonight, we ...read more

    The sermon calls us to embody humility, patience, and love, fostering unity and peace within the church as a reflection of Christ’s grace.

    If you’ve ever stood on a shoreline at sunrise, you know how the early light gathers and glows until everything looks new again. That’s what grace does among God’s people. It brightens faces, softens voices, steadies steps. It turns crowded rooms into caring homes. And on days when worries pile ...read more

    The Need To Be Baptized

     | 2,221 views

    Jesus who was without sin, got baptized to identify with all sinners that He came to save. He was tempted just as we are. Jesus is the lamb of God who came to take away our sin (John 1:29). Jesus is the way, the truth and the life (John 14:6). Without Jesus we cannot be right with God.

    Matthew 3:13-17  Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him.  (14)  John would have prevented him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”  (15)  But Jesus answered him, “Let it be so now, for thus it is fitting for us ...read more

    In verses 1-3: Jonah had disregarded God and opposed him; however, God actually showed him sympathy. At the point when we disregard God, he might chastise us, yet he will, in any case, show empathy and pardon us assuming we abandon our wrongdoings. Jonah fled from God, yet he was allowed a second ...read more
