On this fourth Sunday of Lent, Jan Waterschoot explored the meeting of Jesus and the Pharisee Nicodemus. Jesus speaks this crucial message: For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him may not perish but may have eternal life. (John 3:16) This message of love…
In this special service, in which one of our adult congregation members was baptized, Peter reminded us that “God had always wanted a people of His own; a holy nation, a kingdom of priests. Not a people far off, quaking in fear at the bottom of a mountain, receiving the law on tablets of stone.”…
During this Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, Jan preached on how love is the essential element in our relationship with God and each other.

In Resurrection Time Jesus appeared to his disciples. So how might we see the Lord? In this message Francis opens the readings for Easter 6 to hear what Paul says about where not to look and Jesus promises to be found. The pictures referred to on the audio may be seen in the PDF.
