By His Wounds We Are Healed
In this video, I discuss three questions based on a statement from Isaiah 53:5, “By his wounds, we are healed.” Are miraculous healing works possible? And, if so, why do we not see them as often as they seemed to have been taking place in biblical times?
We’re a Community of Believers
Vital Churches are a community of believers! In other words, they thrive to look like the first community of believers we read about in Acts 2: 42-47, And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. And awe came upon every soul, and many […]

On Reconciliation
One more theme to look at during Lent is reconciliation, which builds on repentance, forgiveness, and obedience. Start first by reading Colossians 1: 15 – 19, which I will refer to as the foundation for our reflection. I think you would agree with me that reconciliation is a process that seems to be very difficult to achieve. […]
On Obedience
Another thing we learn throughout Lent is obedience, in addition to repentance and forgiveness. Read Philippians 2: 3 – 11. Paul, the writer of this letter to the Church in Philippi, tells us that Jesus is the model for humility and obedience. When you look up the Word, obedience, in dictionaries, it implies some form of […]
On Forgiveness
One other thing Lent reminds us of, in addition to repentance, is forgiveness. It is what we receive when we return to God. As discussed in the previous reflection, forgiveness was made possible through Jesus Christ. Read John 1: 29-34. The primary theme you come across in this story is that “Jesus Christ is the […]
