A rich man. A beggar. A chasm that could not be crossed.

Last Sunday we read one of Jesus’ most confronting parables. We’re in a series called Jesus’ Stories — seeking Jesus from His own teachings.

“If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.” Luke 16:31

The main point? Value the Word of God.

Not signs. Not miracles. Not entertainment. The Word. God’s living truth.

Know it. Hear it. Obey it.
Follow it. Love it. Speak it.

The Word of God leads us to Christ. And Christ is the difference between heaven and hell.

Tomorrow we start the next parable — come and join us.

Forgive as you have been forgiven.

“Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy-seven times.”
Matthew 18:21-22

When Peter asked Jesus about forgiveness, Jesus wasn’t setting a number to reach. He was painting a picture of what it looks like to follow him.

We carry a debt we could never repay because of our sin, yet God in his mercy withheld the judgement we deserve and instead sent Christ to pay it fully. Because of his death and resurrection, we are not just forgiven. We are empowered by his Spirit to forgive others the way we have been forgiven.

True reconciliation calls for both: forgiveness and repentance.

Come and join us this Sunday as we continue walking through the parables of Jesus together. 🙏

“He is not here; he has risen, just as he said.” Matthew 28:6

Sunday is here. Jesus has risen! What a glorious day🌅

This was not just another ex*****on. Jesus didn’t stay dead. He got up!
It was a moment of God’s divine power and grace on display. The grave clothes folded. The stone rolled away. The tomb empty. Because Jesus resurrected from death it confirmed and verified his death was accepted by God. It confirmed he was the Son of God, the promised Messiah, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. (John 1:29)

Easter is not just a holiday we celebrate once a year. It is the very meaning of our salvation. And to understand what Jesus rescued us from we have to see that we are all sinners, because we all fall short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23) And the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). Not just physical death but eternal separation from God. That is what we were facing. That is what we needed saving from.

And so Jesus, the way the truth and the life (John 14:6) stepped in. He didn’t come to condemn us. He came to set us free. Through his death on the cross he took the penalty we deserved. Through his resurrection he defeated death and opened the door to new life. A life no longer defined by sin and shame but by forgiveness, freedom and right relationship with the Father.

There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:1)
Death has lost its sting. (1 Corinthians 15:55) We have been given new life, a new heart and a hope that does not disappoint. (1 Peter 1:3) And because he rose we too shall rise. (1 Corinthians 15:20)

We are forgiven. We are reconciled. We are loved. Jesus made a way for us back to the Father.

The rescue complete. The king has risen. And he is alive today. Jesus our risen king, now reigns forever.

The evidence of Christ’s death and resurrection stands. What you do with it is a choice that could change your life forever. How might you respond to the love of Jesus today?

Maundy Thursday. From the Latin word ‘mandatum’ meaning commandment, or mandate. The night Jesus gave his disciples a new commandment: love one another as I have loved you (John 13:34).

Tonight we remember the night before the crucifixion when Jesus gathered with his disciples to celebrate the Passover feast. For centuries the Jewish people had observed Passover, remembering when God delivered them from slavery in Egypt through the blood of a spotless lamb. That same night Jesus knelt down and washed his disciples feet. Not the act of a king. The act of a lowly servant.

But this was no ordinary Passover meal. Jesus took the bread, broke it and said this is my body. He took the cup and said this is my blood of the new covenant. In that moment he was revealing what the whole Passover story had always been pointing to.

He was not just observing the Passover. He was fulfilling it. Jesus, the Son of God, was and is the Passover lamb. Spotless. Chosen.

We give thanks and praise for the love of God poured out for us. That he gave his one and only Son so that through Christ we could be reconciled to him, forgiven of our sin and given a new heart.

Jesus the humble king. Jesus the suffering servant. Jesus the Passover Lamb.

As we reflect and remember Jesus’ journey to the cross this Holy Week, let us be reminded that the same Jesus that saw Zacchaeus is the same Jesus that sees us. Not when we have it all together, or feel we are too far gone. Not when we feel worthy or ready.
He sees us where we are, in this very moment.

Jesus came to seek and save the lost.
The question is, are we willing to invite him in?

Holy Week has begun.

Yesterday we celebrated the triumphal entry. Jesus riding into Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover Feast, crowds spreading their cloaks on the road, palm branches waving, voices crying out “Hosanna to the Son of David!” (Matt 21:9). A humble and holy moment. But what looked like pure celebration was actually something deeper - it was a cry for rescue.

The crowds were honouring Jesus as King, but the purpose of God and the expectations of the people could not have been more different. This king announced his arrival not on a warhorse but on a donkey, humble and unhurried, with a cross ahead of him. The crowds were hoping for a saviour who would free them from Roman oppression and fix what felt broken around them. But Jesus came to free them from something far greater. Not what was broken around them, but what was broken within them. The same crowd that praised him would later call for his crucifixion when things didn’t change the way they expected. And if we are honest, our hearts can be the same at times.

Do we trust him as saviour even when we don’t understand?

Do we know who Christ is, or do we only know what he did?

This moment in scripture was not spontaneous. Centuries before Jesus rode into Jerusalem, the prophet Zechariah had written of a king who would come, gentle and riding on a donkey. And here he was.
Every detail fulfilled.
Every word of God proven true.
The arrival of Christ the King was not the beginning of the story, it was the continuation of a promise that had been building for generations.

As we begin Holy Week, that is worth sitting with. The God who kept every promise then is the same God we follow now. And he was just getting started.

“Say to Daughter Zion, see, your king comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey.” Matthew 21:5

Easter is the story of the greatest love of all and the greatest rescue ever told.

JESUS crucified, buried, and three days later, RISEN.

Death defeated.
Sin washed away.
Hope restored.

A perfect love that goes further than we can think or imagine.

Maybe you’ve heard about Jesus before. Maybe He’s new to you. Either way, we pray that you will be in the room to hear the truth of the gospel message that sets hearts free.

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16

“He is not here; he has risen!” Luke 24:6

21 DAYS OF PRAYER & FASTING

As we step into 2026, we choose to pause before we plan, to pray before we pursue, and to fast before we move. This is a year of leaning fully on God—not our own understanding—for direction, clarity, and vision. Like Daniel, we turn our faces toward the Lord with intentional prayer, humility, and surrender, trusting that heaven responds when hearts are aligned.

“So I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with Him in prayer and petition, in fasting, and in sackcloth and ashes.” — Daniel 9:3

This season is about positioning ourselves to hear clearly, see rightly, and walk obediently into all God has prepared. Lead us Lord and direct our paths.
