    Advent is the time of preparation for the coming of our heavenly King. How do we receive him in our Christian community and in our personal lives? Are the gates wide open, or does he need to knock at our door, locked from the inside?

     | 31,880 views

    Jesus saved us to live a wild and adventurous life. But how can we do that? We're not apostles like Peter and John were. We don't have their courage and experience. We're just common ordinary folks... or are we?

    He Chose The Nails Series

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Mar 4, 2026
     | 113 views

    In the Passion story, the nails seem like a small detail. Just hardware. Just instruments. Just metal. But the nails of the cross were the HINGE OF HISTORY. They were the point where DIVINE LOVE MET HUMAN REBELLION. They were the moment where ETERNITY TOUCHED TIME.

    TAGLINE: The nails did not hold Jesus to the cross—His love did. But those nails still preach a gospel we dare not ignore.
