Three Lessons from the Upper Room Discourse

In today’s broadcast, we take a glance into the last sermon Jesus preached before going to the cross, a message we call the Upper Room Discourse.

Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled

The day before His crucifixion, rather than worrying about Himself, Jesus was busy ministering to His disciples. John’s gospel records one encouragement Jesus gave – Let not your heart be troubled.

The word hold here doesn’t... […]

Echo Chambers November 16, 2023
Short note… Proverbs 11:14 Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety. The reason there is safety in the multitude of counsellors is because you get a diversity of perspectives, coupled with the wisdom which comes from experience. Echo chambers, on the other hand, are very unproductive.... […]
