2025 The Cross (Christ in You, The Hope of Glory): Pastor Ritchie Llanto

This is who we are now: sanctified and made to be part of God’s family.

Jesus’ suffering is a call for us to share in His suffering. A part of our call to suffer is to live for the purpose of spreading Jesus’ life in us.

Let us go and do the right thing even when no one notices — serve in the background, love without credit, and remain faithful in the unseen moments. Our hidden faithfulness matters to the One who matters most.

May we never cease to be thankful for God’s powerful work of salvation towards us.

We can go direct and draw near to Jesus all the time.

Jesus is not one of the messengers. He is greater. He is the message.

We need His Word in our hearts - to know it, obey it, and live it out.

If you see Jesus, you know God.

The cross of Christ was turned from an instrument of death to an instrument of peace and reconciliation for us.

As we seek God in prayer and worship, may we find our true hope and abound in it.
