The Power and Influence of the Holy Spirit - Pentecost 2021
It’s Pentecost, the day the Holy Spirit came to rest upon the disciples with the sound of rushing wind and tongues of fire.

Pause for a moment as we reflect on the power and the influence of the Holy Spirit in the lives of the disciples, and in our lives too. Read more

Go and make disciples…and I will be with you always.

Will You Follow Me, No Matter the Cost?
We look this week at Jesus’ call to Simon Peter, but also to us, as Jesus says, “Follow Me”. Look at Peter’s response to the question and take time to consider your own response to the question Jesus is asking you. Jesus is inviting you to put your trust in Him and follow where He leads you. How will you respond? John 21: 18-25

“Cast your nets to the right side”
Let us explore what Jesus might be saying to us as we consider the story of the disciples meeting the resurrected Jesus for the third time after they have had an unsuccessful night of fishing. How is Jesus reaching out to you as you spend time with Him. He invites you to sit with Him, to rest in His presence as He guides us in the way to go. John 21:1-14

Stop Doubting and Believe
We all have doubts at times. This week we reflect upon the story of Thomas who needs to see Jesus in person to believe. What evidence do you need to see to accept that Jesus is alive? John 20:19-31

How do you respond to Jesus?
| Palm Sunday |
It’s Palm Sunday and Jesus enters into Jerusalem, riding on a donkey. He comes to bring His Kingdom of Peace and Justice. How will you respond to His entry? Do you back away in fear? Join the hype of the crowd but then fade away as His popularity wanes? Do you offer your resources for Him to use? Do you follow Him obediently wherever He leads you? Matthew 21:1-11
