Selflessness is the key characteristic in Jesus' command to take up our crosses and follow him. The stories of Jochebed, Hannah, and Mary (Jesus' mother) illustrate selflessness.
One of the critical characteristics of a follower of Jesus is almost completely non-existent in our society. Now I say “almost”, because there are still times when we see and celebrate it, but those times are largely times of extremes. The prevailing “wisdom” is completely ...read more

In the story of the prodigal son, the older son completely missed seeing all of his own blessings because of his clouded vision towards his brother.
Luke 15:25-32 Pray I'm guessing that you've probably heard this story that Jesus is telling to the Pharisees of the day. We picked up at the very end of it, and only read that part because most of the time after hearing the whole story people start to nod off at this part and really miss the ...read more

The Christmas Story is full of surprises: Surprises that reassure us that GOd uses ordinary people, is in control of history, gives us significance and accepts all people.
What’s the most important thing about Christmas for you? Is it lunch with your family? Is it singing carols? Probably not after you’ve been hearing them in the shopping centres for the last 2 months! How about Christmas presents? Are you like Garry’s wife in this cartoon? Does it matter whether you ...read more

The book of Ruth unfolds a beautiful example of the Providence of God in response to sincere faith. This story is also part of God's preparation for the birth of Christ, the promised Messiah.

The story of the widow's mite has been used to show Christians what their attitude toward giving should be. This message challenges that traditional and longstanding teaching.
Growing up I don’t think I heard a teaching about the widow’s mite that did not take the widow and make her the standard by which all of us are to give when it comes to our giving. “This poor widow woman came to the altar and gave her last mite. She did that for the Lord! What an example she is to ...read more
