Healing division (Ep. 1:15–23)
The Christians in Ephesus had their own problems, the main one being division. Sound familiar? Despite our learnings and improvements, we still get tripped up by the same problems.
Stats don’t lie (Jn. 14:23–29)
It’s very easy to lose hope based on what we don’t have as a church. God is reminding us of the precious gift we do have: salvation. Why do we think we need anything else?
Feed my sheep (Jn. 21:1–19)
Jesus forgave Peter and entrusted his flock to him. By his grace, Jesus has forgiven you. By his grace, he is calling you to serve him and his people with the gifts you have been given.
Jesus meets us (Jn. 20:19–31)
In our fear and worry, Jesus offers us his peace. In our questions and scepticism, he shows us himself.
True realisation (Lk. 24:1–12)
When the words of Jesus are spoken, and the bread is taken and broken, the resurrected Jesus is who we remember and see. It’s the entire work of Christ that we praise God for today.
Darkness and light (Jn. 18–19)
We reflect on the events of the first Good Friday in terms of the darkness surrounding Jesus and the light that is to come.
Love one another (Jn. 13:34)
This Easter, base your love for your neighbour on his love. You never know—someone might see Jesus’ love in you and wonder where it came from.
Be like Jesus (Ph. 2:5-11)
Paul is urging the Christians in Philippi to “have the same mindset as Christ Jesus.” In other words, “Be Like Jesus.” But is that all he is to us—an example?
The place of piety (Jn. 12:1–8)
Whether you think you’re a pious person or not (or whether you think that other person is too pious or not), God still speaks and acts.
The two sons (Lk. 15:1–3,11b–32)
Whether we’re rebellious or whether we’re prideful, God has enough grace to come out and invite us into his kingdom. He comes out to us in our baptism, through his body and blood, and by his Word.
