   8 June 2025  Luke 3.1-20  This week we look at John the Baptist’s bold call to repentance in Luke 3.1–20.

As Jesus grew, so did his favor with God and...

   20 April 2025 Matthew 27.57-28.15 They tried to bury him. Seal him in. Silence him. But the grave couldn’t hold him, and history couldn’t ignore him.

Jesus is it even in betr...
