  • Kids Korner: You know me (May 11th)

    Read John 10:22-30 with your family. Jesus never asked us to be part of the religion of Christianity, and some people who attend church get really confused by that. When Jesus was alive, there was no such thing as “Christian” or “Jewish”, they were all Hebrews and believed in God loving them unconditionally. They knew…

    Feed my sheep John 21 Jesus later appeared to his disciples along the shore of Lake Tiberias. 2 Simon Peter, Thomas the Twin, Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, and the brothers James and John,[a] were there, together with two other disciples. 3  Simon Peter said, “I’m going fishing!” The others said, “We will go with you.” They went out in…

  • Kids Korner: Feed my sheep (May 4th)

    Read John 21:1-19 with your family. This is an add-on chapter that was not part of the original Gospel of John. We do not know when it was added, but it is important because it asks questions of Peter and the closest followers of Jesus: If you love Jesus, take care of the people Jesus…

    Faith and Doubts John 20 19 The disciples were afraid of the Jewish leaders, and on the evening of that same Sunday they locked themselves in a room. Suddenly, Jesus appeared in the middle of the group. He greeted them 20 and showed them his hands and his side. When the disciples saw the Lord, they became very…

  • Kids Korner: Doubts and questions (April 27th)

    Read John 20:19-29 with your family. It is okay to ask questions when it comes to Jesus and believing. The people who knew Jesus in person had questions too. In this story we hear about Thomas, commonly known today as “Doubting Thomas”. He wanted to see Jesus, talk to Jesus and touch Jesus in order…

  • Easter Monday 2025

    Knowing the truth in our hearts   Luke 24 13 That same day two of Jesus’ disciples were going to the village of Emmaus, which was about eleven kilometres from Jerusalem. 14 As they were talking and thinking about what had happened, 15 Jesus came near and started walking along beside them. 16 But they did not know who he was. 17 Jesus…

    Christ is Risen! Hallelujah! Luke 24 Very early on Sunday morning the women went to the tomb, carrying the spices they had prepared. 2 When they found the stone rolled away from the entrance, 3 they went in. But they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus, 4 and they did not know what to think. Suddenly two men in…

  • Kids Korner: Jesus is alive! (April 20th)

    Read Luke 24:1-12 with your family. He is risen! He is risen, indeed! Happy Easter It’s hard to imagine that between the Palm Sunday celebration from last week and the Easter celebration this week, that we have had the saddest week in the Christian year. All week we watched people get madder at Jesus and…

  • Holy Week 2025 – Holy Saturday

    The holy and spirit-filled can be found in waiting   Luke 23 50-51 There was a man named Joseph, who was from Arimathea in Judea. Joseph was a good and honest man, and he was eager for God’s kingdom to come. He was also a member of the council, but he did not agree with what…

  • Holy Week 2025 – Good Friday

    Enemy of the State   Luke 22 66 At daybreak the nation’s leaders, the chief priests, and the teachers of the Law of Moses got together and brought Jesus before their council. 67 They said, “Tell us! Are you the Messiah?” Jesus replied, “If I said so, you wouldn’t believe me. 68 And if I asked you a question, you…
