  1. Pentecost || Gits of Spirit

    May 25

    Pentecost || Gits of Spirit

    On Pentecost, God fulfills His promise by pouring out the Holy Spirit on His people, igniting a movement that begins in an upper room and spreads to the ends of the earth. Acts 2:1–21 shows ordinary believers empowered to speak, witness, and live with boldness as the Spirit breaks barriers and draws people to Jesus. This passage reminds us that the same Spirit who came like wind and fire is still at work today, awakening hearts, giving new language to our faith, and inviting us to join God’s mission in the world.

  2. Ascension || Gifts of the Spirit

    May 19

    Ascension || Gifts of the Spirit

    In this message, we look at the moment in Genesis 12 when God calls Abram to leave everything familiar his country, his people, his father’s household and step into a future he cannot yet see. Abram’s journey reminds us that every step of faith carries risk. Obedience often means leaving the comfort of the shore, stepping out of the boat, and trusting that God’s promise is stronger than our fear.We connect this ancient call with Jesus’ teaching in the Sermon on the Mount, beginning with: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Jesus shows us that true faith begins with humility recognizing our need, acknowledging our limits, and depending fully on God. Abram’s willingness to go, even without knowing the destination, is the posture of the “poor in spirit”: open‑handed, surrendered, and ready to follow wherever God leads.

  3. Prayers: Come, Lord Jesus || Gospel of John

    May 11

    Prayers: Come, Lord Jesus || Gospel of John

    In this message, Rinus explore Jesus’ teaching on what genuine prayer looks like. In Matthew 6:5–15, Jesus invites us away from performance, empty repetition, and outward show, and calls us into a quiet, honest, and intimate conversation with our Father in heaven. This passage reminds us that prayer is not about impressing others. It’s about aligning our hearts with God’s will, trusting His provision, seeking His forgiveness, and walking in His grace. Together, we’ll reflect on the Lord’s Prayer as a model for how we approach God with humility, dependence, and sincerity, learning to pray not just with our lips but with our lives.

    Jesus Appears || Gospel of John

    This week, we step into a special sub‑series also titled “Jesus Appears,” where we turn our attention to the living, breathing stories of people whose lives have been transformed by unexpected encounters with Jesus.This service invites us to listen, reflect, and celebrate as individuals share their testimonies, moments when Jesus showed up in their darkest valleys, their quiet questions, their seasons of doubt, and their moments of breakthrough. These stories remind us that the Jesus who appeared to His disciples after the resurrection is the same Jesus who appears to us today: guiding, healing, restoring, and calling us by name.

    Jesus Appears to Peter || Gospel of John

    In this final message of our “Jesus Appears” series, we turn to one of the most tender and restorative moments in the Gospel of John. After the resurrection, Jesus appears to His disciples by the Sea of Galilee not with thunder or spectacle, but with breakfast, presence, and grace.

    Jesus Appears to Thomas || Gospel of John

    In this week’s message, we continue our “Jesus Appears” series by looking at one of the most honest and relatable moments in the Gospel of John Jesus’ appearance to Thomas. After the resurrection, Thomas wrestled with doubt, disappointment, and the tension between what he hoped for and what he could believe. Yet Jesus meets him with compassion, not condemnation.

  7. Jesus Appears to the Disciples || Gospel of John

    Jesus Appears to the Disciples || Gospel of John

    In John 20:19–23, the disciples are hiding behind locked doors, overwhelmed by fear and uncertainty. Yet it is in that very moment when hope feels distant and courage feels impossible that Jesus appears among them and speaks peace. In this message, Rinus reminds us that Jesus still meets us in the same way today. He steps into the rooms we hide in, the fears we carry, and the moments we least expect Him. His presence doesn’t wait for our confidence; it breaks through our fear and breathes new life, new purpose, and the gift of the Holy Spirit.

  8. Jesus Appears to Mary || Gospel of John

    Apr 6

    Jesus Appears to Mary || Gospel of John

    On this Easter Sunday, Caleb leads us through Mary Magdalene’s powerful encounter with the risen Jesus. Standing outside the empty tomb in her grief, Mary is met by the One who calls her by name and transforms her sorrow into hope. This passage invites us to see resurrection not only as a historic miracle, but as a personal moment of recognition where Jesus meets us, restores us, and sends us out with the good news of new life.
