Palm Sunday, 2024
As Christians commemorate Palm Sunday, we are drawn back to a pivotal moment in history when Jesus made his triumphant entry into Jerusalem.

Yet, this imagery … Continue reading Palm Sunday, 2024

In the journey of faith, we are often called to ponder the profound mysteries woven into the tapestry of God's plan for humanity.

The Grace to Let Others Grow

Time Alone With God
Spending time alone with God isn't solely about asking for blessings or presenting requests; it's about cultivating a deeper relationship with Him.
Reflections on 2 Thessalonians 1 – JESUS, AFFLICTION, AND JUDGEMENT
In 2 Thessalonians 1:5-12, the Apostle Paul conveys to the Thessalonian church a deep and meaningful message of hope and assurance. However, we also find a rather surprising and straightforward statement of the coming judgment on those who afflict these believers.

Reflections on Amos 9:11-12
The book of Amos is a book both of judgment and mercy. When I read the words of Amos 9:11-12, I cannot help but be struck by the incredible promise of restoration that God offers to His people.
