Thy Will... My Will... “Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” (Matthew 6:10) After singing a song during family prayer, the wife said to her husband: “Honestly, I am afraid to sing the line, ‘If it is the Father’s will to break me, let His will be fulfilled completely in me…’”

The Firstborn... The Only-Begotten... “Then you shall say to Pharaoh, ‘Thus says the LORD: Israel is my son, my firstborn.’” (Exodus 4:22) When God sent Moses in response to the cry of the people of Israel, He used a description of them that had not been used until then. That is the key verse for today. Although God had already referred to Israel as His own people, as the descendants of His beloved Abraham, and as His special possession, this is the first time He calls them “

Empty... Filled... “Simon answered, ‘Master, we have worked hard all night and have caught nothing. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.’” (Luke 5:5) As the ministry of Jesus Christ progressed, people became increasingly interested in two things: ▪️To hear the Word of God... ▪️To experience deliverance... In Luke chapter 5, we see people crowding around Jesus to hear the Word of God. While one group eagerly pressed forward, longing to gather the precious words th

Faith... Fling... “For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.” (Mark 7:29) “He speaks always idealistically... but when it comes to practical matters, everyone is the same...” “After all, he was a Jewish Rabbi, wasn’t he? Jews tend to have a little more racial prejudice...” “But still, can you call a woman a dog? There is every possibility that the Women’s Commission could take up a case.” “But he didn’t actually call that woman a dog, did he? He was s

Amazed... Accepted... “When the proconsul saw what had happened, he believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.” (Acts 13:12) Hard training was underway for an upcoming football match. That day, Danny arrived a little late for coaching. Since he was a key player in an important position, the coach was angry. “Why are you late?” “Well... today is Sunday, and I had to decide whether I should go to church or come for coaching...” “And what did you do?” “I took a coin

In a world that often feels disconnected, the call to build a community rooted in faith has never been more urgent. The act of making disciples is not just a task; it is a transformative journey that shapes individuals and communities alike. By joining together in faith, we can create a supportive environment where everyone can grow spiritually and emotionally.

A Gorgeous Steed… A Glorious Sword… “My anger is kindled against the shepherds, and I will punish the leaders; for the LORD of hosts has visited His flock, the house of Judah, and will make them like His majestic horse in battle.” — Zechariah 10:3 Once, an astronaut became the president of a large airline company. He had a deep desire to transform his company into the best airline service provider possible. One day, the new president visited a particular department for an ins

Service... Sermon... “But the Lord answered her, ‘Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things.’” (Luke 10:41) Here we see a home consisting of one brother and two sisters who maintained a very close relationship with Jesus. It was Martha who invited Jesus into their home (Luke 10:38). Lazarus became a friend of Jesus (John 11:11). The Bible does not tell us much about Lazarus’s character. But in this passage, we see two sisters who grew up in the same home

The Path and the Periphery (John 3:1–21) Once, a businessman decided to sell his old bungalow and the property surrounding it. Since the large building had been unoccupied for months, it had suffered considerable damage. Many repairs were also needed. When a wealthy man expressed interest in purchasing it, the businessman explained all the repairs he was willing to make. But the prospective buyer had a completely different plan. “Don’t worry about any of these things. When I

Keep Running... Keep Looking... The young of four-legged animals can quickly find their balance and stand on their feet, whereas a human infant takes about 10 to 12 months to learn to stand on two legs. Likewise, while a four-wheeled vehicle has no balance issues, riding a two-wheeled vehicle requires constant effort to maintain balance. One of the most exciting experiences in life is learning to ride a bicycle. Nowadays, bicycles often come with training wheels attached to e

A New Beginning… A New Blessing….. "See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland" (Isaiah 43:19). A traveller continues along a familiar path. But when that path comes to an end, a new way must be found to reach the destination. Today's verse is God's message to those who believed that the road had ended and that there was no hope of deliverance... The sighs and cries of those whose l

Abundance..... Scarcity.......... "Our desire is not that others might be relieved while you are hard pressed, but that there might be equality." (2 Corinthians 8:13) A friend of mine once shared this real-life experience: In a foreign country, a moving car suddenly caught fire. The driver remained calm, quickly pulled over to the roadside, and parked safely. In that country, it is common for the fire department and emergency responders to arrive almost immediately when an ac

Those who were never defeated, yet still lost Football fans around the world are caught up in the unstoppable excitement of the beautiful game.

"He is not here...!" "He is here...!!" Rock-cut tombs in ancient Palestine were typically designed to accommodate between six and twenty bodies. The deceased were laid either in wall niches known as kokhim or on stone benches called arcosolia . After about a year, when the body had completely decomposed, the bones were gathered and placed in bone boxes known as ossuaries . Thus, for a wealthy family, a single tomb was sufficient for generations of use. Yet the tomb in the ga
