Resurrection Sunday
Your suffering is not in vain. Your heartbreak is not in vain. Your loss is not in vain. Your struggle is not in vain. Your past is not in vain. This day is not in vain. Your future is not in vain. God’s grace towards you is not in vain! Jesus swallowed our failure, shame, guilt, death, sin, and hell. Jesus became a man and lived our life and died our death to pay our penalty so that God could give us grace and welcome us in to His loving arms and say, “This is my boy, this is my girl, whom I love!” Happy Resurrection Sunday Kaleo. Let’s worship our King!

Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews
The kingdom is a theme in the trial of Jesus including his interrogation by the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate. Pilate is intrigued by and anxious about the notion that Jesus is the King of the Jews. After caving in to the Jewish rulers about crucifying Jesus, he refused to accommodate their request to modify the sign affixed to his cross, which simply said in three languages, "Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews."

The Lessons of the Sea
Let’s remember that Jesus had just finished feeding the 5,000 or rather, the 30,000 or more multitude on the hillside. From this we know Jesus was working on the faith of the disciples. The message to them was this: bring to me what little gifts and talents you have and see what I will do thru you to change the lives of people. The disciples wouldn’t realize this and understand this until after Jesus rose again and after the Holy Spirit visited them on Pentecost.

Many people claim to "believe" in something . . . themselves, a hero, a powerful leader, even God.

Discover the profoundly moving picture of what true, life-changing "belief" looks like, and really start believing!

The Aim of the Spotlight
In our lives, the spotlight can only be on one person at a time. Even Jesus struggled with this. Will we put the spotlight on ourselves, or on God?
