Rev. Daniel E. Pilarczyk

Jesus calls not just for love between himself and his followers but also for love between the disciples themselves. This love will be a source of joy in the community of believers.

We sometimes experience confusion and uncertainty. But Jesus promises His peace to us. There is no need to be afraid.

There is no point in our striving to attain power and glory for ourselves. All blessing that might come to us comes from God.

Jesus is leading his followers into the deepest truths about God. Step by step he is making them aware of the intimate life of God, and inviting them to share it.

The Kingdom of God is not a place for us to reach. It’s a person. It’s Jesus who offers himself to each of us every day. He is our happiness.

The disciples’ care-filled service to others is to be the medium through which Jesus extends his ministry to the world. The disciples’ mission is also ours.

The words of Psalm 67 pray that God’s salvation may be known among all the nations of the earth–that all the ends of the earth might praise Him and obey Him.
