How do we know Jesus is the Son of God and not just an ordinary man? The Bible shows how He is the Son who reveals God the Father, the Creator of all things, and the One who can reconcile us to God. Let's cast aside all doubt - Jesus is worthy of our trust!
Serving God is a marathon and requires leaders to build resilience even when challenges arise. Build resilience by spending time in the power and grace of God, allowing him to renew you and lead you in His everlasting ways.
Paul's message to the church of Ephesus upon his departure reveals powerful insights on Christian leadership. As God's people of influence, we must commit to honouring Christ, the church of Christ, and the plan of God above all. Let’s realign ourselves so His mission goes unhindered!
Just as Joshua led the people forward, both the young and the old are invited to walk together in God’s mission by learning, guiding, empowering, and stepping out in faith when God asks them to move. Are you living out God’s calling with humility, responsibility or courage, and where is God asking you to “step into the water” today?
We can be useful to God, whatever our situation. God uses ordinary vessels to do the extraordinary. He seeks willing vessels that are cleansed, consecrated, and filled with His Spirit. Let's avail ourselves for the Master's use!
A shepherd leader is one who serves the Lord with good motivation, exemplary character, and a joyful and humble attitude. In our service to God, let us lead as shepherd leaders - not by position, but by example; choosing to do so for the benefit of the flock.
As we tear down empty worship and rise in spirit and truth, our whole lives become the altar where every word, action, and moment become an offering of genuine love. This is the worship God desires, alive within us and expressed through a life that honours Him completely. Will you build the next altar, one that you have never known before?
In seasons of desperation, worship must begin with faith. The inward realisation of who God is leads to an external declaration of praise. Our worship leads us from the desert to a place of peace, where we recognise His goodness in our lives.
When we worship God, let us do so authentically as we are moved by the Spirit. Our human nature may try to pull us away from the truth of who God is, but let us not diminish God’s greatness. Instead let’s recognise that He is closer than we think.
True worship expresses both our honour and obedience to God. The call to worship shows our willingness to come before Him, while the expression of worship reflects the intensity of our devotion. At the same time, worship must also reveal our obedience through a heart that listens to God and follows His ways. Our hearts must be at rest in Him to worship God rightly, with sincerity, reverence, and faith.
Wherever we are, the Lord has placed purpose in our lives. Be planted and rooted in communities where He asks of us to be an impact, a significant presence. Let's learn from how the third seed flourished: to be planted in faith, watered in hope and grown in supernatural love.
The commands and teachings of Jesus are counter cultural - they require us to serve without drawing attention to ourselves. Instead, the Holy Spirit partners with us, allowing us to be transformed so that we can love our neighbours as ourselves.
The church is called to be a lighthouse, a beacon of hope beyond our walls. By serving and pastoring the community around us, we can create opportunities to share the gospel. Let’s bring the light of Jesus into our communities!
Are we acting justly? God calls His people to live with integrity by doing what is right, even when it is not easy, and by loving mercy. True faith is not revealed in rituals but in daily actions that reflect God’s character. Let us walk humbly with Him and let our lives reveal His character.
Building God-fearing families needs to be intentional. Parents need to model biblical teaching and the love for God in daily life so that children will be able to grow rooted in Christ. It is God’s desire for families to live long in His blessings.
The heart is constantly at war between doing what's right and wrong. Thankfully, the Lord never abandons us, providing comfort and strength in our weakest moments. Sin may tempt us into wrongdoings, but in Christ we have the victory.
We live in a fallen world where bad exists along with good. How do we shine through tough times so we can lead others to God? We need to discern His heart, determine to persevere, and decide to live for His glory.
We live between two kingdoms, the earthly and the heavenly. While we respect earthly authority, our true loyalty is to God’s kingdom, which is eternal and already present through Christ. As citizens of heaven, let us set our hearts on what matters to God and respond with prayer, faith, and hope.
There are still people in the field who have not heard of the good news of Christ. Paul teaches that unless we send out workers, the world will not be able to call upon the Lord. Whether we offer our finances or our lives, the Lord can move in amazing ways.
As believers, we have the hope of glory, Christ in us. Feeding on the Word of God and being obedient to Him enables us to emanate the life-giving aroma of Christ. Let’s purpose to bring the fragrance of Jesus to everyone around us.
