Living by the Spirits power

Whatever fills you, controls you. Paul calls us to refuse escapism and instead live Spirit-filled lives marked by worship, joy, and gratitude.

He waka eke noa

He waka eke noa — we are all in the waka together.
Some paddle strongly. Some can barely lift a hand. Some are skilled. Some are broken.
But all belong — and Christ sits at the bow, steering.

We don’t come to church because it’s perfect.
We come because we need each other.
We come because we are the body of Christ.

Dont paint over the rot

The Christian life isn’t about putting a spiritual gloss over old habits. It’s not a renovation — it’s a complete rebuild from the inside out.

Psalm 42

Psalm 42 is a master class on how we never deny the reality of painful circumstances, yet be full of faith. Remember faith doesn’t eliminate fear, hope doesn’t ignore despair and trust doesn’t avoid trials. The language of the bible is not “if” but “when”!

The Passion: Easter reading

Jesus prayed for his followers, asking the Father to guard them in unity and truth. Betrayed, he was arrested and endured questioning before Pilate, yet declared his kingdom was not of this world. Condemned, he carried the cross and was crucified, fulfilling Scripture. From the cross he entrusted his mother to John and declared, “It is finished.” Buried in a garden tomb, he rose on the third day, appearing first to Mary Magdalene, then to his disciples, breathing peace and commissioning them. By the sea, he restored Peter, calling him to shepherd his flock with love.
