Scripture Reading   - "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast." —Ephesians 2:8-9 (NIV). Reflection :      -  As you sit in the comfort of your home, perhaps with a cup of tea or simply taking a quiet moment, let this truth settle deeply in your heart: Knowing God does not depend on the works we do or the achievements we strive for. It is a gift—a precious, undeserved gift—received by faith, rooted in His boundless grace. Life often encourages us to measure our worth by our accomplishments, but God’s kingdom operates differently. The Apostle Paul reminds us in Ephesians 2:8-9 that salvation is not something we can earn. It is a gift from God, given freely to those who believe. Reflect on this for a moment. You don’t need to struggle to prove your love for God or earn His favor—He invites you to come as you are, trusting in His mercy. Thought f...

🎉Scripture Focus   -  “Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized Him; and He disappeared from their sight. They asked each other, ‘Were not our hearts burning within us while He talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?’” – Luke 24:31–32 (NIV).   Reflection:   -  Life often feels like a journey on a road we don’t fully understand. We carry burdens of doubt, distraction, and disappointment. Like the disciples walking to Emmaus, we may even find ourselves discussing Jesus while failing to recognize that He’s walking beside us. The question is, why do we sometimes fail to see Him? The story in Luke 24:13–35 reminds us of three important truths:   1. God is Present, Even When We Don’t See Him:    -  Just as Jesus joined the disciples on their journey, He walks with us through every season of life—whether or not we recognize Him.    2. Scripture Holds the Power to Transform:    -...

Key Scripture:    -  John 11:25 – “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die.” Devotional Message:     - This Easter Sunday, we gather to celebrate a truth so powerful it reshapes the destiny of all who believe: the resurrection of Jesus Christ. His triumph over death isn't just an event in history—it is the foundation of our faith. Through His victory, we are assured of eternal life and a hope that outlasts all earthly trials. Jesus boldly declared, "I am the resurrection and the life." This profound statement is more than a promise of life after death; it is an invitation to experience His life-giving power here and now. The resurrection means that death no longer has the final word. It declares that in Christ, brokenness is restored, mourning turns to joy, and despair gives way to hope. As we reflect on the resurrection, we are reminded that this new life isn't earned by our works; it is a ...

Bible Verse:   -  "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” – Matthew 21:9. Introduction:   -  As we begin our journey through Holy Week, we find ourselves on Palm Sunday, reflecting on the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. This event marks a pivotal moment in Jesus' ministry, as He is welcomed as the King of Peace. The Triumphal Entry:   -  The triumphal entry is a remarkable event in which Jesus, the long-awaited Messiah, enters Jerusalem on a donkey. This act of humility is a powerful statement of Jesus' character and mission. Welcoming the King:   -  As we reflect on Jesus' triumphal entry, we are invited to consider what it means to welcome Him as King in our hearts. Just as the crowds laid down their palm branches and shouted "Hosanna," we are called to surrender our lives to Jesus and acknowledge His lordship. 💕🎷🌺 Click Here for worship song . 💕🪘🌺 Welcome back.
