Just as Isaiah was cleansed and called, and Peter was humbled and commissioned, we too are invited to respond with surrender and obedience.

After Easter, we often wonder what comes next. That question echoes back to the early disciples who, even after seeing the risen Christ, weren’t sure what to do.

Jesus conquered death, and in doing so, He gave us freedom, forgiveness, and eternal hope. Happy Resurrection Sunday!

Today, our waiting is with anticipation because we know the truth and the truth has set us free.

To all who feel hopeless or weighed down, hear this: the cross of Christ is not the end. As we walk through Matthew 27, we don’t just remember Jesus’ agony—we receive the truth that his sacrifice made restoration possible. In him, even death itself is undone. That’s the power and the promise of Good Friday.

As we prepare for family, services, and joyful celebration, let’s not forget that Thursday held moments of deep sorrow, challenge, and love. Join me in reflecting on the final evening Jesus spent with his disciples, and let it shape how we celebrate what’s to come.

Jesus had shared with the disciples that he would soon die, be buried, and rise on the third day. Even though the disciples knew this, it was still hard to comprehend. And it would get even harder to understand when the events of Thursday and Friday began.

A family tradition with resurrection eggs becomes a powerful teaching moment, pointing us not only to the empty tomb but also to the deeper truths of Holy Week and the need for personal reflection and prayer.

In a world that rejected prophets and abused power, the Master still sent His Son. The parable of the tenants speaks of God's deep grace and the cost of rejecting His offer. Holy Week is a moment to receive the Cornerstone anew.

God’s commands aren’t complicated—love, obey, and walk with Him. Jesus echoed this truth. As we pray and say “Amen,” may we live with purpose, showing His love in everyday ways.

An iron axe head floating in water may sound strange, but it reveals something powerful: God can defy the natural to care for His people. In times of stress and loss, we are invited to call out to Him and watch for His unexpected provision.

Naaman’s journey from prideful resistance to humble obedience shows us that God's grace often comes through unexpected instructions. This story challenges us to lay down our assumptions and follow God’s lead, even when it seems ridiculous to us.

The "duck test" of our faith reveals whether our trust truly lies in God or in the things that merely resemble faith.
