Stand Alone - John 20:24-31 - The Twin

Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe.”

Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!”

Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

- John 20:26–29

Easter Sunday - Weep No More - The Lion who Conquered Death

This week we look at the message of Easter, and in particular the resurrection of Christ and what it means to conquer death.

And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied.

1 Corinthians 15:17-18

Good Friday - Revelations 5:1-9 - Weep No More

Advent 2024 - God With Us - Christmas Eve - The Wise Men

There are three reactions in Matthew 2:1-12 to the news of the birth of Jesus. There was resentment from Herod at the new “King of the Jews”. There was indifference from the Jewish people, who were “troubled” by his coming and did not received him. The Magi, however, sought him out and rejoiced in his coming.

How do we react to the Word of the coming of Jesus?

Advent 2024 - God With Us - Week 1 - Separation

Matthew 1:18-23

We were created for nearness with God, but during the fall there was broken trust, an act of betrayal, and separation from God. Through the coming of Jesus, we have a way to be clothed in the righteousness of God and draw near to Him once more.
