In today's gathering, we celebrated the joy of being together as a church family, anticipating the arrival of new chairs and projectors, and looking forward to Palm Sunday and Easter services. We welcomed first-time visitors and our online family, encouraging everyone to stay connected with us. We also talked about our Good Friday communion service, a time to remember Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. I shared about the sufficiency of Jesus Christ in our lives. He is more than enough to forgive our sins, erase our shame and guilt, restore our fellowship with God, and guide our future. I emphasized the importance of following Jesus, even when we have failed or feel unworthy. I recounted the story of Peter, who denied Jesus but was restored and commissioned to shepherd new believers. This demonstrates that Jesus is enough to erase our guilt and shame, and He calls us to follow Him regardless of our future. I also spoke about the necessity of crucifying our self-ambition to faithfully serve Jesus. We must take up our cross, die to our old selves, and be resurrected in newness of life in Christ. I reminded everyone that Jesus is enough to direct and sustain us throughout our lives. We prayed for those who wanted to commit or recommit their lives to Jesus, and for our missions team traveling to Brazil. We also collected a special offering to support our missionaries in Manaus, Brazil.
