There is an unbreakable link between a tree’s roots and the fruit it bears. What comes out of the mouth is a projection of the heart. Be more concerned about your own heart than anyone else’s.

Loving your enemy was never intended by Jesus to be an untested ideal but a practical example of how the gospel radically changes the way we love people.

The gospel is not that Jesus accepts good people—it’s that Jesus calls sinners. Jesus breaks religious convention in order to reach the lost and demonstrate to the religious that they’ve got it wrong.

Jesus demonstrates his authority to forgive sins by healing the paralytic and then calls a sinner to follow him.

Jesus reveals his identity to Simon Peter, that he is Lord and has authority over our lives. We are unworthy to stand before him, but Jesus uses unworthy people for his mission.

The devil tries to derail the mission of Jesus by tempting him, but Jesus resists in the power of the Spirit and by the word of God.

True repentance is a transformed life that bears fruit.

Jesus is God’s salvation. There is something special about this child. Everyone recognises it!

The good news of the birth of Jesus is cosmic good news of glory to God and peace to men. It is to be believed and shared.

The faith & joy of Mary & Elizabeth’s inclusion in the plan of God is the most appropriate response when God uses unlikely people to achieve his purposes
