Greetings sisters and brothers. Today’s gospel text comes from Luke 13: 22-30, The Narrow Door. Luke’s gospel has been special in the history of God’s Squad. So many of the great themes in Luke’s account of the life of Jesus have been important values in our club. Jesus and his life on the road as an […]

Guds frid, bröder och systrar. In this day’s reading from Matthew 13:53-58 we join Jesus and his disciples as they return to Jesus’ hometown, Nazareth, for a second time.

Greetings once more from Leicester, particularly to those on the road, who have been sent to proclaim freedom and healing. Today’s reading come from Luke 9:1-6, Jesus sending out the twelve. Over twenty years ago, I was distinctly and unmistakably called and led by God, to work with hardcore drinkers and later addicts, in what could […]

Nga mihi maioha e hoa ma, rangimarie ki a koutou katoa i tenei ata. Greetings friends, may peace be with you this morning.

Failte ( Hello). Greetings to you all on here from Ireland. If are joining me on here , you are welcome. Luke Chapter 6. Starting at verse 20 onwards speaks to us about the Beatitudes, from Jesus sermon or instruction to us commonly referred to as ‘ The Sermon on the Mount’. This passage is […]

“For now we see but a faint reflection of riddles and mysteries as though reflected in a mirror, but one day we will see face-to-face. My understanding is incomplete now, but one day I will understand everything, just as everything about me has been fully understood. Until then, there are three things that remain: faith, […]
