Devotional Today

Theme: Legacy of love: new depths of failure.

Text: ‭‭John‬ ‭13‬:‭36‬-‭38‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

“Simon Peter *said to Him, “Lord, where are You going?” Jesus answered, “Where I go, you cannot follow Me now; but you will follow later.” Peter *said to Him, “Lord, why can I not follow You right now? I will lay down my life for You.” Jesus *answered, “Will you lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly, I say to you, a rooster will not crow until you deny Me three times.”

Today’s readings focus on denial. In the first, Peter dismisses the idea that he could ever fail Jesus. Mark’s account (14:27-31) emphasises this further – despite Jesus’ clear prediction, Peter insists that even if all the other disciples fall away, he will remain faithful. He makes a mistake, which many in Christian service and leadership make: they think they are beyond the failures that others may be prone to. Yet, as the second reading shows, Peter’s denial unfolds exactly as Jesus foretold. In distancing himself from Christ, he not only fails his friend but also rejects the cost of true discipleship.

Like Peter, we may sometimes overestimate our own strength and underestimate our need for God’s grace. When we do fail – whether in our words, actions, or even in our silence – it is easy to feel ashamed or unworthy. We need to own our failures and our frailties. What we do see, however, is that this is precisely the thing that makes God’s love so incredible: God still chooses to use us in his mission, despite the inevitability of our failures.

So today, let us come to God with honesty, knowing that even in our weakness, his grace is sufficient, his love is unwavering, and his purpose for us remains.

More than 30 Christians have been beheaded at the hands of Islamic State terrorists in Mozambique, according to a report.

The Islamic State Mozambique Province, or ISMP, announced that they destroyed at least seven churches, committed acts of arson against Christians and village civilians, and shot and beheaded more than two dozen people in the Cabo Delgado and Nampula provinces in the northern area of Mozambique.

The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) screen-captured, translated, and shared the terrorists' report on their website, which included 20 photos of the brutal attacks on Christians.

We are not called to our own plans but to Christ’s. Together, we follow His call with one heart and one mission.

Theme: Legacy of love: new kind of command.

Text: ‭‭John‬ ‭13‬:‭31‬-‭35‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

“Therefore when he had gone out, Jesus *said, “Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in Him; if God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him immediately. Little children, I am with you a little while longer. You will seek Me; and as I said to the Jews, now I also say to you, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’ A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.””

How do you recognise a Christian? By their eloquent preaching? Their acts of service? Their attire? Their words? While these may offer clues, Jesus himself provided the definitive answer: ‘By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another’ (John 13:35 NIV). The way we treat each other is the outward fruit of what is in our hearts. Ultimately, our love for one another should be the clearest sign of our faith.

These verses from John 13 leave no room for doubt about what that love should look like; it is to mirror the love Christ has for his disciples. Throughout John’s Gospel, we see this love demonstrated as sacrificial and self-giving. It is a love that forgives those who fail, seeks justice, speaks truth, reaches the unexpected in unlikely places, offers comfort, and is sent into the world.

Jesus feels so strongly about this that he commands it. And for very good reason. How will the world grasp, and be compelled by, the transformative power of Jesus’ love if his followers fail to show it to each other? How will people understand God’s kindness if Christians are unkind to each other? How will they believe in God’s forgiveness if Christians are prepared to hold grudges and bear resentments against one another? Perhaps this is why William Booth, Founder of The Salvation Army, once wrote: ‘The ruling passion of the true Salvationist is love.’

Today, may we be recognised not by words, appearances, or achievements, but by our love.

📸 Missions Month 2025

Our first Sunday of Missions Month was filled with smiles, fellowship, and snapshots that captured hearts united for the Great Commission.

Thank you to everyone who came with mission-ready hearts — and picture-ready smiles! 😄

As one body, we move together to pray, give, and go — for His glory and the nations. 🌍🙏🏽

Different voices, one spirit. 🙏✨
Worshiping together in unity — hearts joined in one purpose.

This is what serving with joy looks like 💛

Ushering ministry team gathered once again for the continuation of their orientation and workshop - a time filled with learning, laughter, and preparation. Each one is growing, united, and ready to serve with excellence (in all services soon). 🙌

Just as we learned from last Sunday’s message, unity in Christ makes the mission stronger. Each believer has been given different gifts and can serve in many different ways — and one of them is through our "Guest Experience Ministry". 💫

Each usher has a unique role, but together, we move as one body to create a welcoming atmosphere where God’s presence can be experienced. ✨

Each visitor and church member will be welcomed warmly, with a smile that reflects the love of Christ. 💛

Theme: Dysfunctional families.

Text: ‭‭Mark‬ ‭3‬:‭28‬-‭35‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

““Truly I say to you, all sins shall be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter; but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin”— because they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.” Then His mother and His brothers *arrived, and standing outside they sent word to Him and called Him. A crowd was sitting around Him, and they *said to Him, “Behold, Your mother and Your brothers are outside looking for You.” Answering them, He *said, “Who are My mother and My brothers?” Looking about at those who were sitting around Him, He *said, “Behold My mother and My brothers! For whoever does the will of God, he is My brother and sister and mother.””

We tend to think of family as a group of parents and children, or near relatives having common ancestors. But some people rightly consider those who have enduring ties, similar interests and values, and who look after one another, as being ‘family’, even if not biologically connected. Jesus himself expanded the understanding of God’s family in today’s Scripture.

The Bible speaks of entering into God’s family through a spiritual birth, thanks to God's grace received by faith. God's family is an accepting family that offers the joy of belonging, and shares experiences, skills, and wisdom.

For some people who have been wounded by neglect or abuse when young, it is hard to believe that we are accepted despite our flaws and misbehaviour. We may have been acting outside of the norms of society because of our hurt or sense of inadequacy. But the truth is that, however damaged or broken we may feel our past dysfunctional life has been, God’s grace is available for us.

That doesn’t mean Christians always agree, but like the Simpsons we are united through God’s love in our hearts.
