In an era when nations are turning inward and focusing solely on ‘our people,’ we are called to live differently. If we are to be cities on a hill, we must live generously with our time, space and money especially towards those who can give nothing in return. This isn’t just a biblical story; it’s...
Jesus invites us to bring life to our city, not through power or pride but by embodying the values of His upside-down Kingdom. In Him was life, and that life came through surrender, humility and love. True life begins when we reach the end of ourselves. Like the woman who poured out her perfume and...
If you come here to help me, then you are wasting your time. But if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together.
To pursue God’s vision and partner with Him in building the Garden City, we must reflect on our work. Work is how we engage with the world every single day — it’s far more than just paid employment. Our time spent in church is only a couple of hours, our rest is limited, but most...
The Holy Spirit fills the Church, just as He once filled the Tabernacle and the Temple. God is declaring, This is My new dwelling place.

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...
Lent is about fasting from food and selfish ways. Give up something you enjoy, and use what you save (money, time, etc.) to help those in need. This turns fasting into love, uniting us with the poor and following Jesus call to serve.
Jesus wants us to be free. But what about when people affect us negatively? How do we deal with negative influences in the spiritual realm?
Jesus’ encounter with the disciples on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-35) teaches us to listen for God’s voice in our daily lives. In moments of doubt and confusion, we can cultivate a receptive soul, attentive to God’s whispers. Just as the disciples recognized Jesus through their conversation and shared meal, we too can experience...
