    Jan 15 2026

    When Christians say “God is in control,” what do we actually mean—and what do we not mean?

    Thrive Perspectives: Is Good Enough?
    Jan 1 2026

    John 3:16 says: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life".

    So, what happens to those who’ve never heard the name of Jesus? Is the door to salvation locked, or does divine mercy reach further than we think? Can sincere seekers—no matter where they’re from or what they know—find grace?

    This discussion may just challenge our assumptions, spark curiosity, and invite us to rethink the boundaries of faith and hope.

  • Thrive Perspectives: What Does it Mean to Believe?

    Dec 18 2025

    What does it really mean to “believe”?

    When we say we believe in God is it a mere intellectual agreement or a cultural label?

    Is believing a deep, life-changing trust—or just a vague opinion? Is “believing” in Jesus simply about agreeing with certain facts, or is it something far more demanding and transformative?

    What if belief isn’t passive, but a call to action, surrender, and ongoing commitment?
