Highlights
Choose Your Company Wisely: Last time, we emphasized the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people. Your company can shape who you become, so be selective in your friendships.
Understanding Your Purpose: Before leaving home, it's crucial to know why you're going and what you aim to achieve. Purpose gives direction to your journey.
Beware of the Wrong Path: Leaving home to join a harmful or negative influence, like a gang, is never a good choice. Seek companionship that aligns with your values.
The Prodigal Son's Story: Learn from the biblical parable of the prodigal son. His decision to leave home without guidance led to hardship and regret.
The Test of Leaving Home: Young people are often tested when they leave the comfort of home. How you handle these tests will define your character and choices.
Take Jesus with You: Leaving home without Jesus can spell trouble. When you have the Lord with you, fear diminishes, and you gain strength to face challenges.
Promotion Awaits When It's Your Time: Jephthah's story teaches us that when God is ready to promote you, nothing and no one can stand in your way. Trust in His timing.

In this video, we dive into the account of the triumphal entry in the Bible and explore its significance as we approach Easter. This event is recorded in all four gospels, and we specifically look at Luke 19:28-42.
Jesus' entry into Jerusalem was not a spontaneous act, but a well-planned and deliberate demonstration of his Messiahship. He had come from Jericho and was now at Bethphage and Bethany, where he stopped to prepare the way for his entry.
This was the only time in his ministry that Jesus actually promoted a public demonstration, and it was to fulfill the prophecy in Zechariah 9:9. This prophecy could only apply to Jesus Christ, for he is the only one with the credentials that prove he is Israel's king.
Jesus chose to ride on a donkey, which was a symbol of humility and peace, in contrast to the image of a conquering king riding on a horse. This was a fulfillment of prophecy and a clear message to the people that he was the promised Messiah.
But this triumphal entry was not just a display of Jesus' power, but a preparation for the cross. He knew very well what would happen to him in Jerusalem, and he was bound in the spirit to go there. He was obedient to the word of God and fulfilled prophecy, even in the face of suffering and death.
As we approach Easter, let us remember the significance of the triumphal entry and the sacrifice that Jesus made for us on the cross. May it be a reminder of his love and the hope that we have in him.

In this powerful video, we delve into the topic of God's grace and how it was enough to sustain the apostle Paul through his suffering. We explore the nature and purpose of Paul's thorn in the flesh, which was given to him by God. And we come to the understanding that if God has given us a thorn in the flesh, there is a purpose behind it.
We then take a closer look at the source of Paul's thorn, and the role that Satan played in delivering it. Through careful examination of scripture, we come to the realization that God allowed Satan to deliver the thorn, but it was ultimately a gift from God. We learn that God's thorns are given as gifts and that even suffering can be a gift from God.
This video offers powerful insight into the ways that God works in our lives, and the importance of trusting Him through times of suffering and uncertainty. It reminds us that God is always in control and that He works all things together for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. If you are looking for a message of hope and encouragement in the face of life's challenges, this video is a must-watch.
