In 2 Corinthians 5:20 Paul calls us to be Ambassadors of Christ. But what does that actually mean? An ambassador for a country lives in a foreign country, showing everyone who lives there how amazing his home country is. “So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us.” 2 Corinthians 5:20 We are who people look […]

Let's Be Going
Then Jesus went with them to the olive grove called Gethsemane, and he said, “Sit here while I go over there to pray.” … He went on a little farther and bowed with his face to the ground, praying, “My Father! If it is possible, let this cup of suffering be taken away from me. […]

Words of Life
In Matthew 12:36-37 Jesus tells us: “And I tell you this, you must give an account on judgment day for every idle word you speak. The words you say will either acquit you or condemn you.” And it got me thinking. Do my words honour God? Will they acquit or condemn me? If we thought about […]

Not my will but Yours be done
You are probably familiar with Jesus’ prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane. When He cries out to God “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” (Matthew 26v39 NIV). For Jesus that prayer lead to death on the cross. And it got me thinking. What would our lives be like if we made that our daily prayer? If every morning we got up and cried out to God “Father, today I ask that I would not do my will, but would carry out Your will for my life.”
The Greatest day in history
“The women were terrified and bowed with their faces to the ground. Then the men asked, “Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive? He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead! Remember what he told you back in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be betrayed into the […]
