Sent but Not Strangers
Devotional week 33
I was sitting in a coffee shop enjoying my coffee when a lady approached and said, "Do you know that you are called for the nations?"

What we can learn from the most outstanding leader in history
In this article, I want to take you on a journey of self-discovery and growth as we learn from Jesus, the greatest and most influential leader in history. I want to emphasise five values that will ignite a fresh passion for leadership within you.
Work, Worship, and Service: A Fresh Perspective on Work
Avodah (עבודח) is a Hebrew word rich in meaning. It encompasses three fundamental concepts: work, worship, and service. Understanding this word's depth can revolutionise how we view and carry out our daily activities.

Servant Leadership: Following Jesus’ Example
In Mark 10:42-45, Jesus turns the world’s concept of greatness on its head. True greatness, He teaches, is found in serving others. Jesus, the Son of God, had every right to demand service from others. Yet, He chose the path of humility and service. His entire life was a testament to this principle.
