15 March 2020 In Luke 13:1-9 we see Jesus confronted with the question of human suffering. Why are tragedies happening? Why do people suffer? While Jesus is not interested in philosophical questions, he points out that there is no automatic link between tragedies and sin. However, Jesus declares there is a much more important question to ask: the God-question. What is your relationship with God looking like?

8 Mar 2020 How to follow Jesus when we are at our lowest is what we learn in Mark 9:14-29. We should not be surprised to enter valleys. While debates are never the answer, bringing our pain to Jesus and coming with the faith we have (not the faith we don't have) is the way to go. Jesus highlights the crucial importance of prayer over any other strategy to cope with challenging circumstances.

12 Feb 2017 As Jesus tells his disciples the parable about the labourers in the vineyard (Matthew 20:1-16), he highlights that being a disciple means being sent into the harvest. This will at times entail labour: ministry in the kingdom of God can be hard work! Nonetheless, as disciples we are promised to receive: blessings in this life, and eternal life in the world to come.

5 Feb 2017 In Colossians 1:24-2:7 Paul unpacks what the life of a disciple looks like. Having received Jesus, it is now all about continuing to follow him, "walking" with him. Furthermore, a disciple continues to grow in Christ in every way, including growth in (spiritual) knowledge and (practical) wisdom. Eventually it is about counting to overflow with gratitude, probably the most decisive way a disciple of Jesus learns from his master and seeks to apply Christ's example to their life.
