At our baptism service this Sunday, we will be celebrating lives being made new—as we are reminded that our hope is not in our own goodness, but in the faithful love of Jesus Christ.
“The gospel is this: we are more sinful and flawed in ourselves than we ever dared believe, yet at the very same time we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared hope.” — Tim Keller
Are you aware that even the smallest offering, placed in God’s hands, can become something far greater than we imagine. So never underestimate the effect of small acts of kindness.
As Billy Graham once put it:
“God has given us two hands — one to receive with and the other to give with.”
This week as we reflect on the moment when Jesus’ true glory was revealed, we are reminded that seeing Him clearly changes everything. As Billy Graham once said,
“When we see Christ as He really is, we see ourselves as we really are.”
The question Jesus asked His disciples still echoes today — and our answer shapes everything about our lives. As Billy Graham once said:
“The greatest question in life is not what others say about Jesus, but what you say about Him.”
How you respond will shape your life today, tomorrow and into eternity.
Let me ask you a question from my sermon this week. If Jesus looks at the heart — what does He see in your heart today?
Why is this important? Because real and lasting change begins not with what others see, but with what God sees in our hearts:
“God judges what we are by what we are in our hearts.” — Billy Graham
At Easter, we are reminded that the hope we long for is not found in ourselves, but in what Christ has done for us.
As Billy Graham once said:
“God proved His love on the Cross. When Christ hung, and bled, and died, it was God saying to the world, ‘I love you.’”
As we move through the routines of daily life, Palm Sunday offers us a moment to reflect on the kind of King Jesus is—and what it means to truly welcome Him.
As Billy Graham reminds us, “Jesus Christ came not to be served, but to serve—and to give His life as a ransom for many.”
This week we will be looking into Jesus the miracle worker. This quote by Billy Graham sets the scene for Simon’s talk.
“Jesus performed miracles not to entertain, but to reveal who He was — the Son of God with power over sickness, sin, and death.” – Billy Graham.
In our passage this week, two desperate people come to Jesus in faith and discover that His power reaches even the most hopeless situations. As Billy Graham once observed: “When we come to Christ in faith, even the most hopeless situation can be transformed by His power.”
The beauty of creation constantly reminds us of the greatness of its Creator. As Billy Graham once said: “Just as the stars shine brightest in the darkest night, God’s creation reminds us of His glory even in a troubled world.”
This week, please pray for a peaceful resolution of the current crisis in the Middle East.
