Lent and Easter 2022
“I was there at Pentecost”
It is Pentecost, a day when we remember and recognise the coming of the Holy Spirit. We are pausing from our series in 2 Timothy, which we will pick back up on next week, but today, we look back to the events of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples in power. Listen as we hear from one of the 120 disciples as they retell the story. Acts 2

Be Prepared!
We look at another of the resurrection appearances of Jesus this week. And as we reflect upon this encounter, we take note of how we can be prepared for the mission and ministry that God has given us. God has blessed us with gifts, talents, and skills; He has led us to the places and people around us. How can we be prepared to share the good news of Jesus with those He calls us to? Read more

Recognising Jesus - Emmaus Road
At Easter, Jesus made many resurrection appearances to His disciples. One of these appearances was to two disciples as they travelled on the Emmaus Road. At first, they did not recognise Jesus. It was only when they invited Jesus into their home and shared a meal with Him that they were able to recognise Jesus. Just like the disciples invited Jesus into their homes, so we too need to invite Jesus into our lives. Read more

It is the knowledge that we have a God who is in control, and nothing is too difficult for Him. Read more
