Philippians 3:10 (NIV). Easter is about the power of the resurrection. Today’s text focuses on this one verse and challenge you to “live in the power of His resurrection. Do you want to feel the power of the resurrected life? The resurrection of Jesus doesn’t automatically erase all the problems of this world; but it gives us true life in the midst of all that is around.

Luke 19: 41-44 (NRSV). Luke’s account of the gospel is the only one in which Jesus sees the city and weeps. If tears and weeping are Jesus’ entry into Holy Week, maybe tears and weeping should be our entry into Holy Week. Pastor Wallace challenges us in this text to understand that although the city is Jerusalem, but it’s not about only a particular city. It’s more about a condition. It’ about our ignorance of “the things that make for peace,” and blindness to “the time of (our) visitation from God.” In our faith walk, it is important to know why Jesus wept. If you have been blessed from hearing this message, please support us by giving. Thanks and Amen.

Luke 10:1-10 (NIV). You are very important to God. Let that sink into your heart this morning. You are very important to God and that’s what this story tells us this morning. Zacchaeus was a lonely, very short little fellow, but he wanted to see Jesus. And then he was in for the surprise of his life, for as the Lord passed by, the Lord stopped, and he said, “Zacchaeus…come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.” The same is for us today. The Lord sees you today. He really sees and knows you – and Pastor Wallace can guarantee you on the authority of the Word of God, He wants you, because He loves you! Amen. Please donate to our ministry.

Luke 13:1-9 (NIV). Karl Barth, the renowned Swiss Reformed Theologian, famously said “take your Bible and take your newspaper, and read both. But interpret newspapers from your Bible.” This is so, because faith isn’t something we live in isolation. It’s not separate from real life. The gospel speaks into our world – into war and injustice, into the everyday struggles of ordinary people. Out today’s text speaks into our life today and we find ourselves asking: What does this mean? Where is God in this? How should we respond. And that’s not a new question. It’s the same one people brought to Jesus in today’s gospel. Listen to Jesus’s response. If you are blessed from hearing this message, please feel free to donate today! Amen.

Luke 5:1-11 (NRSV). The lesson from today’s text is a story of Jesus calling four fishermen to be fishers of people. The purpose of this miracle was not to meet a human-need. It was a teaching miracle. We will see five aspects of Christ’s divine nature and glory manifested: 1) disciples love to hear the word of God taught; 2) disciples obey Jesus even when it doesn’t make sense; 3) disciples are aware of their own sinfulness; 4) disciples are fishers of people; and 5) disciples are willing to forsake all and follow Christ.

Luke 4:1-13 (NRSV). The biblical account of the temptation of Jesus as described in Luke’s Gospel should put us in the right mind to approach Lent as a time for reflection, penance and prayer in preparation for Easter. Jesus begins His ministry in the wilderness. Lent is a wilderness time for us. Jesus was “full of the Holy Spirit and we all should want to be “full of the Holy Spirit.” If you are full of the Spirit as a Christian, you will face your own wilderness at some point. But the Spirit doesn’t desert you in the desert, just like he did not desert Jesus in the wilderness. In the wilderness, Jesus, “full of the Holy Spirit,” turns to the word of God. Will you?

1 Corinthians 3: 6-9 (KJV). In our text, we will see the apostle Paul’s efforts to correct the Corinthian church’s view of their leaders with a proper estimation of the value and role of human leaders in light of God’s rank in all of these. In other words, God is given the rank of pr-eminent one. God is everything. He is the highest. He’s the greatest. And if that is true, if God is pre-eminent in rank, then it ought to change how we live our lives!

Philippians 1:9-11 (NRSV) teaches us three ways to pray for God’s best. First, pray that love may abound. Second, pray that excellence may prevail. Third, pray that fruit may grow. It is Pastor Wallace’s prayer that the Holy Spirit will bring to bear on your heart whatever conviction you need to feel about how you pray both for yourself and for others! The result of such prayers is changed lives resulting in praise and glory to God. If you have been blessed from hearing this message, please feel free to sow into our ministry. Amen.

2 Chronicles 16:7-8 (NRSV) outlines the danger of relying on human strength rather than God, using King Asa’s mistake to highlight a divine promise: God actively searches the earth to strongly support those with a heart fully committed to Him. True spiritual success requires total dependence on God, not worldly alliances. May we choose this day to increase our commitment to God by: 1) desiring to be blessed by God; 2) desiring to be used by God more; and 3) desiring to know God intimately. If you have been blessed by this message, please sow into our ministry. Thanks

In today’s gospel reading, it is Jesus’ apostles who are asking for more faith. Even they sometimes struggled with believing and trusting in God and in their leader, Jesus. No wonder they cry out, “Increase our faith.” Living as a disciple of Jesus seems impossibly challenging for them then and for us today. I think most of us have struggled with faith as some point in our lives. Thus, in today’s message, Pastor Wallace suggests three specific things that we can do to grow our faith. Be blessed from the hearing of God’s Word for your life. Amen
