It’s never too late for God to write a new chapter in our lives! He specializes in bringing beauty from ashes.
In the midst of darkness, death and destruction - God gifts us a song. What does that song look like?
Thorns can be blessings in disguise. God does much in and through us using the daily difficulties that come our way. Can we be sensitive to His ways?
Often times we take for granted the privilege of prayer. Our Father longs to hear from us and partner with us. Do we eagerly desire to meet with Him?
Signs and Symbols - Part 2
Reflecting Him clearly takes proper positioning, accuracy and simply saying yes!
Paul instructs Timothy to guard the treasure that has been deposited in him with the help of the Holy Spirit. Do we build fences to guard the truth within or to guard our hearts from being exposed to the truth?
Our relationship with the Father must become deeply personal if we truly want to know Him, love Him and reflect Him as we ought to. He has taken ownership of us, but have we taken ownership of Him?
God’s ecosystem: is a seamless network of people and families, each living and reflecting Him both individually and collectively as his family.
This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.
John 15:8
In a world that emphasizes quick fixes and results, the Kingdom honors obedience regardless of the outcome.
The call of destiny includes waiting seasons that the Lord orchestrates. It’s at this juncture that faith is forged, character is built and maturity is pursued. It is also the place can love can grow cold and passion can be lost. The choice of how we respond is ours to make.
What is it that keeps us persistent in our calling, despite setbacks and hardships?
Is it a fire-fuelled internal motivation that He has placed within or are we relying on temporary and waning external motivations?
May we rise like Jeremiah and press on to accomplish His purpose in this life.
If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. - 1 John 1:6
No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his commanding officer. Similarly, anyone who competes as an athlete does not receive the victor’s crown except by competing according to the rules. - 2 Timothy 2:4,5
Training and discipline is a very important aspect of our lives and our walk with Him. Have we truly trained ourselves to pray?
What does it mean to be a herald or a messenger of the gospel? Christ entrusts us with taking His truth to the ends of the earth. May we be found faithful in doing so.
In Luke’s Gospel, we see how FAITH in Christ brings both FORGIVENESS and FREEDOM. The paralyzed man’s friends broke through a roof to get him to Christ and the sinful woman humbled herself before Him—both acts of radical faith. Their trust was met with compassion, forgiveness and freedom. Let’s grow in Faith, Humility, Freedom, Forgiveness and Love for others, just as Christ calls us to.
Table of Love: What Jesus Said vs. What He Did
Jesus didn’t just preach, He practiced.
His teachings and Paul’s letters show us that the focus isn’t just on the future but on how we live today.
Hence we need:
- More tables, not just chairs.
- More meal times, not just microphone times.
- More conversations, not just conversions.
- More table time, not just talk time.
Jesus said to love one another, and He did it by sharing meals, washing feet, and welcoming all.
What does the Table of Love mean to you?

Shifting from a Mathew 14 mentality to an Acts 3 mentality, entailed learning a few lessons for the disciples. Three of these lessons were:
1. A Lesson in Seeing
2. A Lesson in Emptying
3. A Lesson in Returning
We do well to learn these if we want to live in the freedom, power and purpose He has called us to!
In our pursuit of destiny, God calls us to abandon ourselves, walk in humility and complete surrender.
A summary of our sermon from last Sunday. May we truly walk in and forward in our God-given potential for the year 2025!
