Devotions

Discipleship isn’t limited to Sunday mornings or missionary trips to far-off lands. It’s woven into the fabric of our everyday lives. It means taking the message of hope and freedom into your workplace, home, neighbourhood, and community.

As we’ve begun to explore the freedom Christ has given us, we now have the opportunity to let that freedom shape and flow through our lives. In other words, we are free so that we can fully live in and enjoy the freedom He provides!

Palm Sunday marks the beginning of the final steps toward the cross, where Jesus’ love was poured out to secure our freedom. As we continue through Lent, let this freedom inspire us to live boldly, gratefully, and purposefully.

Lent is a season of preparation. It’s a time to reflect, recalibrate, and ready ourselves for Holy Week, when we commemorate the most profound events in history: the crucifixion and the victorious resurrection of our Saviour.

Obedience is hard. It asks of us, demands of us, and costs us. To walk in obedience takes sacrifice. It is servanthood, trust, and sacrifice all rolled into one.

This moment paints a breathtaking picture of worship—an act of complete surrender and extravagant love. A woman, broken in spirit yet bold in faith, pours out her most valuable possession on Jesus. She holds nothing back.

Today is known as Maundy Thursday, and its name derives from the Latin word “mandatum,” meaning “commandment.” This refers to the commandment Jesus gave His disciples during the Last Supper.

In one of history’s most profound moments, an innocent man endured a brutal, criminal’s death. Hope crumbled, and a mother wept at the foot of the cross. It doesn’t sound like a good day, does it?

Silent Saturday reminds us of the gravity of Christ’s death. The Son of God bore the weight of our sin, took the punishment we deserved, and endured the separation from the Father we could not.

Jesus didn’t just rise to secure eternity; He rose to give us life now—a life overflowing with grace, joy, and purpose. In Him, our brokenness becomes wholeness.
