How are we to live as God’s people?

Christmas devotional from our National Director Dave.

When I worked in church ministry, I would often be asked if I was the youth or assistant pastor. Sometimes I would let it go, and at other times I felt compelled to say, “Well, actually I’m the Associate Pastor!” For most people, if not all, it didn’t matter, but for me, it was another step up the church corporate ladder from my days working in a church office and students work. Maybe one day I would have the title of Senior Pastor and all the privileges that came with it, like a bigger salary or even better, a bigger office!

Ever feel your labour for the LORD is in vain? Or tempted to look around at the gifts and ministry of others and see yours as insignificant or pointless by comparison?

While we are not restricted to thinking about the Cross once a year, Easter allows us to set time aside, reflect deeply, give thanks, and celebrate what it means to us. Holy Week provides another opportunity to prepare our hearts to remember the events of Calvary, and our Lord who died there.
