I once was lost…

“Today, if you are reading this and you have been marginalised, belittled, ostracised, or left out in the cold; if you have made mistakes, hurt others, or hurt yourself; if you have walked away from relationships, said harsh words, or behaved badly; if you are continually hijacked by inappropriate or disturbing thoughts, desires, or feelings; if you feel undeserving, a lack of self-worth, or that you are unlovable; then hear the message of Jesus — that God loves you, has come to you, and wants you to find your home in them.” Rev Gav, 2022

Insights

Rev Gav | Jan 13

What was going on at Jesus’ baptism?

We are sorry but this image does not have ALT text.
The way of Christ is a way of the poor, the marginalised, the hurting and the broken. It is the way of the common and the ordinary, and a humble and lowly path.

What can we learn from Elizabeth?

We all need an Elizabeth in our lives, and Like Mary, may you know God’s blessing upon you, may you be honoured, and may you know the love, peace, and joy of Christ.

Touch

Luke 4:38-41. We need to be aware of touch and how we can use it to communicate to others something of the love of God.

Authority

Luke 4:31-37. Sometimes we come across things in our life that we want rid of — stuff that torments us or hurts us — and when we do, we need to trust, and simply ask, “Come, Lord Jesus.”

Anger

Luke 4:22-30. Jesus, and those that follow him, still encounter hostility today that might manifest itself as ridicule, insults, or criticism.

Bombshell

Luke 4:20-21. If Jesus was the Messiah then it had unbelievable implications, not just for his listeners, but for the whole world, forever.
