Easter 2018 Celebration
Two Sundays ago (1st April) we celebrated the Resurrection of Christ. It was not a joke when Jesus, the Son of God, had risen from the dead after being crucified on a cross and died like a common criminal on the Friday.

This Holy Week is the week to commemorate the one and only Holy Person, Jesus Christ. We can make this week a special time - a time for us to learn to be grateful as we recall what Jesus, the perfect Sacrifice Lamb and the Risen Saviour, had done for us about two thousand years or so ago.
Many Christians today feel that their walk with God is private and independent. They see no need for joining a church or making themselves accountable to other believers. Some view the church in terms of how it can help them accomplish the ministry God has given them personally, rather than seeking how their lives fit into the larger work the Lord is doing in the congregation.
What a transformation of the spiritual landscape of the world and the ripple effect of the reformation movement by God through one man's conviction of the truth of the Word of God.
Last Sunday the 6th Sunday of Kingdomtide we learnt how Jesus Christ, the Passover Lamb, fulfilled all the Feasts of Israel especially the Passover Feast and the Unleavened Bread. As the Bread, the Body of Jesus was broken for us.
As we enter into the Kingdomtide Season, we continue to journey with the Gospel of Luke sermon series. These past weeks, we were looking into Jesus' last phase of His earthly ministry. Whilst the crowd began with welcoming Jesus as the Christ, the Messiah or the Anointed One as He entered Jerusalem but the Religious Leaders were outrightly rejecting His Messianic identity and authority.
