Mark 9:2-29 After Jesus shockingly reveals that He must suffer and die, and then rise again after three days, the next two events provide assurance that He really is the promised Son of Man, and that despite a time of suffering and death, His future glory is certainly coming. We should put our faith in Him, pray to Him to help us overcome our unbelief, commit to following Him and thus share in His coming glory.

Ecclesiastes 3: 9-22 As we look forward to 2021, we need to view all work that God brings across our path as a way to delight in God, but, we need to remember that even good, healthy, wholesome earthly work & pleasures, gifted to us by God will never completely satisfy us as God’s people. We also need to thank God for all that He has so generously gifted us in this earthy life and we need to worship God for who He is. God’s value in our life does not change depending on our earthly circumsta...

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 Only with God is true meaning found for His people on earth. God is in ultimate control, even over time, as he provides the various cycles of life for each of us to participate in. Although there will be many times where it feels like everything seems to be contradicting this wisdom & truth, we must not stop believing in Jesus, His Gospel of saving grace and of course the hope we find in Him. Therefore we should rather view life’s trials and tribulations as opportunities t...

Luke 2:1-20 We look back to the first arrival of Jesus, and then we look forward to His eventual second arrival. As we do that, we experience His light, hope, peace and healing. We see that no matter what our circumstances, discomforts and inconveniences are this Christmas, Christ encourages us as He reminds us that God is not yet done. He sees you, He is for you and He wants to use you, as you put your faith and trust in him, and humbly and obediently follow Jesus.

Psalm 69 We continue our journey through Advent, we are looking at Psalm 69, zooming in on how do we move from having a broken heart/crushed spirit to being made whole again. This year has definitely left some of us depleted and somehow broken in some areas of our lives. It’s easier for us to detect physical pain and get help, but we seldom detect emotional pain and therefore we don’t get help for it. Let’s learn how to detect a broken spirit and how God is willing and able to make us whole agai...

Psalm 46 If ever there was a year of #unprecedented global chaos it was 2020, at least in most of our lifetimes. As we continue our journey through Advent, we now look at Psalm 46 where we are encouraged by the picture of God as a mighty fortress, where we can find peace in the midst of the chaos that occurs in the world and in our lives. Through Jesus, God has brought us peace, bringing God’s presence to us, and bringing us into God’s presence. Therefore, even in the midst of the chaos around u...

Psalm 142 Despair and hope are inherent to the human experience. In a world plagued by consistent hopelessness and distress, despair is imminent, and we need to anchor ourselves in a hope that is unlike anything the world has to offer. Advent presents us with an opportunity to see God responding to our despair and also provides us with an eternal hope that helps us fix our eyes on the above.

Psalm 88 Many of us will go through periods of our lives walking in the shadows and sometimes in complete darkness – not sure where to go or what’s coming next. Sometimes we will know why we feel the way we do. Sometimes we won’t. Sometimes this will feel bearable. Sometimes it will overwhelm us. Advent helps us see why Jesus came as the Light. For both our Salvation and our Sanctification.

Mark 8:27-9:1 (CSB) Confessing Jesus as the Messiah means denying yourself, taking up your cross and following Him. It means embracing the paradox that losers are keepers. It brings eternal reward to one’s soul! We are called to confess Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, the kings of Kings. The One who takes away my sin and your sin and gives us eternal life. Will you accept this great gift?

Chapter 3 is Habakkuk's prayer of praise in the form of a poetic song. He had been given the vision from God concerning the end; he had heard the Lord's response to his questions and concerns. Now he can only but stand back in awe and in reverence of the One who will act on behalf of His people. Habakkuk's prayer and song in this chapter is one that encompasses the past, yet stretches forth thousands of years and reveals details of the Lord's coming in glory to defeat all His...
