It is not simply a role that people step into casually. It is a sacred responsibility, a calling given by God to ordinary people who are willing to carry extraordinary burdens with love, sacrifice, and faith. When we think about Mother’s Day, we often think about joy, flowers, celebrations, and happy moments. Yet the Bible reminds us that motherhood is also filled with uncertainty, pain, endurance, and surrender. The Scripture passage about Mary, the mother of Jesus, is often read during Christmas when we celebrate the birth of Christ. But when we look closely at Mary’s story, we realize that the announcement of Jesus’ ...

Let not your heart be troubled

Buy  my books   " Joy in the Journey "  and  " Song in the Night" on Amazon now              Experiencing sound quality issues?  Please Click here  Let not your heart be troubled   Scripture Reading:   John 14:1-14 Today’s passage is one of the most comforting words that Jesus spoke to His disciples while He was in this world. And even today, it remains one of the most comforting messages for millions of people across generations: “Let not your hearts be troubled.” There are moments in life when the heart feels heavier than words can express. Moments when uncertainty surrounds us, when the road ahead is unclear, and when the future feels uncertain. It is into this very space that Jesus gently steps in and speaks these words: do not let your hearts be troubled. Having faith does not mean we are free from trouble. We all know that. Trouble is everywhere around us. Jesus nev...

Scars that speak

Buy  my books   " Joy in the Journey "  and  " Song in the Night" on Amazon now              Experiencing sound quality issues?  Please Click here  Scars that Speak   Scripture Reading:   John 20:19-28 It is the fourth Sunday of Easter, a season that stretches from Resurrection Sunday to Pentecost. During this time, we remember and celebrate the risen Christ and His appearances to many, including His disciples. The resurrection was not a distant or abstract event; it was personal, visible, and transformative for those who encountered Him. In the passage before us, Jesus first appeared to His disciples, but Thomas was not with them. When the others told him that they had seen the Lord, Thomas struggled to believe. He responded with a deeply human condition: unless I see the nail marks in His hands and put my hand into His side, I will not believe. Thomas wanted tangible pr...

Easter Parade

Buy  my books   " Joy in the Journey "  and  " Song in the Night" on Amazon now              Experiencing sound quality issues?  Please Click here  Easter Parade Scripture Reading:   Colossians 3:5-14 Today, I titled the sermon “Easter Parade.” The Easter parade was once a cherished tradition in many cities across the United States and around the world. It is not something we see as often anymore. In many places, it has been replaced by Easter egg hunts and other activities that, while enjoyable, often reflect the growing commercialization of what was once a deeply spiritual celebration. Even when we are not fully aware of it, we can find ourselves drawn into that shift. Yet the Easter parade itself carried meaning. It was more than a festive gathering; it was a visible expression of resurrection life. People would gather dressed in bright clothing, often in white, and walk th...

My Lord and My God

Buy  my books   " Joy in the Journey "  and  " Song in the Night" on Amazon now 20% goes to missions               Experiencing sound quality issues?  Please Click here  My Lord and My God   The Gospel according to John chapter 20 verses 19-28.  The disciples had gathered together, fearing for their lives because of the threats they faced as followers of Jesus. They were hiding in a locked room when, after His resurrection, Jesus came and appeared to them. This was the first time they saw Him alive again. Filled with excitement, Jesus offered them comforting words, and they were overjoyed to see the Lord. This event is described in John's Gospel. In that moment, we only see ten disciples present—Judas was gone, and Thomas was absent. It seems that Thomas may have been a little late rising on Easter morning, perhaps he slept in and missed the incredible moment when Jesu...
