"Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God." - 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (KJV)
Beloved, today we gather to reflect on a profound passage from Paul's second letter to the Corinthians. These verses remind us that God is not only the Father of mercies but also the God of all comfort. Paul, writing out of his own trials and afflictions, teaches us that the comfort we receive from God is not meant to end with us—it is meant to flow through us to others. Let us explore the depth of this scripture and its meaning for our daily walk with Christ.

"But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive." - Genesis 50:20 (KJV)
Beloved, today we gather to reflect on a powerful verse from the Book of Genesis. Genesis 50:20 reveals the heart of divine providence through the words of Joseph, who, despite betrayal and suffering, recognized God's sovereign hand at work. Let us explore how this verse teaches us to trust God's purpose, forgive boldly, and embrace the redemptive power of trials.
"Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." - Romans 6:3-4 (KJV)
Beloved, today we gather to reflect on a profound truth from the Apostle Paul's letter to the Romans. Romans 6:3-4 calls us to understand the spiritual depth of baptism—not as a ritual alone, but as a transformative act of union with Christ. Through baptism, we are buried with Him in death and raised to walk in newness of life. Let us explore this sacred mystery and its implications for our daily walk with the Lord.
