Easter: The Revelation of Who God Is
Easter is the revelation of Who God is! The disciples, based on all four Gospels in the New Testament, would see Jesus as God only after the resurrection. Throughout the three years, they had spent with Him before His crucifixion, they referred to Him primarily as Rabbi (Teacher). It was after His resurrection, Thomas would […]
We Are God’s Witnesses
In this article, we look at the third implication of what it means to be a member of God’s big family. Previously, we talked about two levels of significance that come with why God, the Father, had to let His Son, Jesus Christ, die for us: We are members of Christ’s Body. We are a […]
We Are Royal Priesthood
Lent reminds us that we are a Royal Priesthood. It is the second way we show to the world that we are members of God’s big family. In our last reflection, we looked at the fact that being members of God’s family, we are also members of the Body of Christ. And, being members of […]
We Are the Body of Christ
This reflection builds upon our previous article, “we are God’s family.” You may need to review it in case you missed it. As we go through Lent this year, let’s remember that God’s only intention, by sending His only begotten Son, still is to draw us back to Himself. What we talk about in this […]

Our Ultimate Goal as a Church
What’s your only goal as a Church? The obvious answer, most of us will give could be “to make disciples of Jesus Christ.” Sometimes, I feel like we show it more on paper, but not in real life. You may probably disagree with me on that. But, let me ask you: “how many disciples […]
Let’s Do It Together
This reflection comes out of Matthew 18:19-20, Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them. Two short verses but […]
