John
-
They had every reason to be afraid. Peter and John had just healed a man in Jesus’ name—and now they stood before the same religious court that condemned Jesus. The pressure was real. The threats were serious. Their lives were on the line. And yet, they didn’t ask for protection. They didn’t plead for things…
-
Unity. It’s one of those words we toss around but rarely see. Sometimes it feels more like a memory than a reality—especially when church life gets messy. But Pentecost shows us something different.
-
After failure, I expect a lecture. Jesus offers breakfast. When Peter faced the risen Christ after denying Him three times, he braced for confrontation—but got grace instead. Sometimes restoration looks like a meal on the beach.
-
Courage isn’t about being fearless—it’s about knowing Who’s with you. Joshua had to step up. The disciples faced doubt. But the risen King changed everything.
-
Jesus walked out of the grave—with scars. Proof that death didn’t win. Proof that love did. And my own scars? They aren’t just reminders of pain—they’re monuments of God’s grace.
-
Sometimes faithfulness feels like going through the motions. The words feel heavy, the passion feels dim. But faithfulness isn’t about feelings—it’s about resolve.
-
Bloodied, bruised, crowned with thorns—Pilate thought he was presenting a defeated figure. Instead, he revealed the King who chose suffering to rescue us.
-
Two men. One feared the crowd, the other feared God. One caved to pressure, the other stood firm in truth. One was a coward, the other a King. In Pilate and Jesus, we see the battle between fear of man and fear of God—and it’s a battle I know all too well.
-
The moment had come. The prayer had been prayed. The betrayal was underway. And Jesus—knowing everything that was about to happen—did something remarkable.
-
Jesus didn’t just die for you. He prayed for you. And He still does.
