This Easter message invites us to reflect on the profound theme of being 'Lost and Found.' We're reminded that all of us, like sheep, have strayed from God's path at some point in our lives. The beautiful truth is that Jesus came specifically to seek and save the lost. This isn't about condemnation, but about God's relentless love for us. The parable of the lost sheep in Luke 15 illustrates how valuable we are to God - He leaves the 99 to find the one. This challenges us to see ourselves through God's eyes: not as disappointments, but as treasures worth finding. The resurrection we celebrate isn't just about Jesus conquering death, but about our own spiritual rebirth. We're invited to embrace a new life in Christ, where our past doesn't define us. As we confess Jesus as Lord and believe in His resurrection, we too can experience the power of being made new. This Easter, let's respond to God's whisper calling us back to His path - a path of purpose, redemption, and abundant life.  Read More

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the heart of God's grace through the lens of Luke 15. We explore three parables: the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the prodigal son. These stories beautifully illustrate God's relentless pursuit of the lost, emphasizing that His love isn't based on our merit, but on His character. The message challenges us to see ourselves not just as the found '99', but as part of God's search party for the 'one'. It's a call to embrace our identity as those whom Jesus loves, and to extend that same radical, illogical grace to others. This perspective shift can transform how we approach our faith, our relationships, and our purpose in God's kingdom. As we prepare for Easter, let's remember that we're all prodigals welcomed home by a loving Father, and let's join in the celebration of every lost soul found.  Read More

In this powerful message, we're challenged to confront the reality of sin and its devastating effects on our lives. We explore the concept of SENS - Separation from God, Enslavement to death, Never hitting the mark, and Shame that binds us. The message takes us back to the original sin in Genesis, reminding us that we all fall short of God's glorious standard. But here's the beautiful truth: God's hatred for sin stems from His deep love for us. He hates what sin does to His beloved creation. This realization sets the stage for understanding the true power of God's amazing grace. We're invited to see ourselves not through the lens of our failures, but through God's eyes - as His cherished children whom He longs to set free. This message encourages us to embrace the 'privilege of repentance' and to continually surrender to God's transformative love.  Read More
