John

What happens when the ultimate religious insider meets the living Son of God? In John 3:1–15, we encounter Nicodemus—a Pharisee, a member of the Sanhedrin, and a man recognized as “the teacher of Israel.” He represented the absolute peak of human morality, religious devotion, and biblical scholarship. Yet, coming to Jesus under the cover of […]

Ruth

The book of Ruth is considered one of the most beautiful stories in the Bible. The events recorded took place during the time of the judges, which was a period of national spiritual chaos and darkness where ‘every man did that which was right in his own eyes’ (Judges 21:25) Against this background the book […]

Joshua

The major theme of the sermon is that we will have obstacles to face in our lives (“mountains to cope with”) but when we acknowledge our dependence on God our Father – and tackle them with determination, with strong faith – then they can be overcome. The determination of the enemy to resist also plays […]
