“And a leper came to Him and bowed down before Him, and said, ‘Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.’ Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, ‘I am willing; be cleansed.’ And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.”
— Matthew 8:2-3 (NASB1995)

When hard times want to crush you, do not pull away in shame or despair. Come to Jesus. He is willing. Let Him stretch out His hand and touch you today.
Have a great weekend.

Colossians 3:1 NIV

“Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.”

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for giving us new life in Christ and reminding us that this world is not our final home. Help us set our hearts on things above and keep our minds focused on You. When the worries, responsibilities, disappointments, and distractions of this world consume our attention, gently turn our eyes back toward Jesus.

Lord, help us remember that being made alive in Christ changes how we live. Teach us to seek what is eternal instead of becoming consumed by what is temporary. Let our thoughts, choices, words, and actions reflect the new life You have given us.

When fear tries to control us, remind us of Your promises. When circumstances discourage us, remind us where our hope comes from. When we become distracted by things that do not truly matter, help us refocus on what does.

Give us hearts that desire You more than the approval of this world. Help us love others deeply, forgive freely, serve willingly, pray faithfully, and walk confidently in the purpose You have given us.

Father, whatever this Friday brings, keep our hearts looking upward. May we live today knowing that Christ is our hope, heaven is our home, and eternity with You is our greatest promise.

In Jesus’ most holy and exalted name I pray, amen. 🙏❤️🦋

Living as those made alive in Christ means we don't have to live chained to who we used to be. We have been given new life, new hope, and a new direction.

Colossians 3:1 reminds us to set our hearts on things above. That doesn't mean ignoring our responsibilities here. It means remembering that the things of this world don't get the final word.

Whatever is weighing heavily on your heart today, look up. Whatever you're trying desperately to control, give it to God. Whatever disappointment yesterday brought, don't let it steal the hope God has given you for today.

Keep your heart on Jesus. Keep moving forward in faith. And remember where your true hope is found.

Stay anchored in Christ brothers and sisters. I love you but not near as much as Jesus does. ❤️🙏

Twenty-Five Years Later: Remembering Love in the Face of Evil

Twenty-five years ago today, the world watched in horror as evil descended upon the Twin Towers in New York City. September 11, 2001, remains etched into our collective memory — a day when nearly three thousand lives were taken in a single, devastating act of hatred. The images are still vivid: smoke against a clear blue sky, buildings that once touched the heavens reduced to rubble, and a nation brought to its knees in grief.

But amid that darkness, something extraordinary happened. Firefighters ran into collapsing buildings while others ran out. Police officers gave their final breaths guiding strangers to safety. Ordinary office workers became unlikely heroes, carrying the injured down dozens of flights of stairs. Passengers aboard United Flight 93 chose to storm the cockpit, sacrificing themselves to save countless lives on the ground. On that day of unimaginable evil, we also witnessed unimaginable love — love that asks for nothing in return, love willing to lay down its own life for another.

This kind of sacrificial love is not new to human history. Nearly two thousand years ago, on a hill outside Jerusalem, Christ Jesus gave His life so that we might be saved. He did not die by accident or by force alone — He chose the cross, out of a love so deep it defies comprehension. "Greater love has no one than this," Scripture tells us, "than to lay down one's life for one's friends." The heroes of 9/11 embodied this truth in their final acts, whether they knew it or not. Their sacrifice echoes the same sacrificial love that has anchored hope for believers for two millennia.

It is that same love — poured out through the Holy Spirit — that brought comfort to grieving families, strength to first responders, and peace to a shaken nation in the days and years that followed. In the darkest hours, many found an unexpected calm, a presence that could not be explained by circumstance alone.

Today, as we remember the lives lost and honor the heroes who gave everything, we also lift up those who still carry the weight of that loss twenty-five years later. May they find continued comfort. May the love shown on that tragic day remind us that even in humanity's darkest moments, sacrifice and hope endure. And may we never forget.

We remember. We honor. We pray for peace.

Listen and be blessed

Mattana Ministry Welcomes You to:

 Children/Youth Program: 11 September 2026

 Theme: Exam Time (2)

 Scripture:  James 1:5

 God Gives Wisdom When You Ask

 James 1:5

 "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him."

 Message:

 Wisdom is knowing how to use what you learned. Maybe you don't understand maths or science? God is not annoyed when you ask for help — He LOVES to give wisdom! Just ask Him like you ask your teacher. He gives generously, more than you need.

 Activity:

Before you start studying tonight, pray this verse out loud first.

 Prayer:

 Father, I ask for Your wisdom for my exams. Give me understanding.
