The fallen world is run by rebellious spirits, working alongside rebellious people and systems. Human beings gave over their authority to the enemy at the fall. Jesus nailed them to the cross and made a public spectacle of them. This is a victory, not a defeat. Here comes the final victory, a culmination of his...
After the resurrection, we see the cross differently. Jesus met some disciples and said to them, ‘The Messiah had to suffer all these things to enter his glory’. Jesus, before his death, said, ‘It was time for the Father to be glorified.’ We later see them begin to read OT prophecies about the Messiah and...
Jesus invites us to suffer with and like Him. Suffering well is a part of the way of Jesus. After all, the cross is the path to the resurrection, just like for Him. Yet the only way to suffer well is like Jesus, hold on to the joy set before us; hold on to the...
Lent invites us to fast for both spiritual renewal and physical care. Cutting out excess from rich foods to distractions resets both body and mind. Traditionally, fasting has been seen as a way to cleanse the body and deepen our prayer life, much like Jesus’ 40-day desert fast. When we fast with gratitude, we honor...

We trust the Bible because Jesus Himself trusted it, frequently quoting and affirming its authority. For Jesus, Scripture was not just a record, but the living...

In a world filled with noise and distractions, discerning His voice can seem challenging. Yet, the invitation is clear—God is speaking, and He desires us to hear Him.
We reach a place of “enough” when we realize that it’s not about what we have, but who we have. We practice contentment by learning to say “stop.” We pause from our work and desires for one day, observing the Sabbath. This day of rest is not just for ourselves, but also a way to...
The Sabbath is a day of rest, worship, and celebration rooted in the rhythm of creation. It is a gift from God, not just a commandment, where one is invited to disengage from work and activities that create desire.
