RESURRECTION DAY Psalm 30:5 (NLT) "DON’T MISREAD THE MOMENT”

Psalm 30:5 (NLT) Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning.

 We’re here to celebrate something powerful—But before we celebrate, I want to share one simple truth with you: 

                                  JESUS IS ALIVE!

 FRIDAY: Pain / Sadness. Jesus died, and it looked like hope was gone.

 SATURDAY:  Silence / Waiting. Nothing seemed to be happening. But God was still working.

 SUNDAY: Joy / Power. Jesus rose from the grave! Hope came back to life.

 Sometimes your Friday feels hard. Sometimes your Saturday feels quiet. But don’t give up, your Sunday is coming! 

If you ever feel sad or like nothing is happening, don’t misread the moment. God is still working. God still loves you. Something good is on the way.

The story didn’t end on Friday. It didn’t stay quiet on Saturday. Sunday came, and Jesus rose!

GOOD FRIDAY: LOVE THAT SAVES

Psalm 86:5 NLT

O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive,
so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help.

“Good Friday is a special day because it shows just how much Jesus loves us. He loved us so much that He chose to make a way for us to be close to God forever. Today isn’t a sad day; it’s a thankful day. We celebrate because Jesus’ love is bigger than anything scary or hard. And because of Him, we can have hope, joy, and a brand‑new start.”

DAY 6 -7 Days of Kwanzaa • A Christian Reflection

   DAY 6 -7 Days of Kwanzaa • A Christian Reflection

DAY 6 - Creativity/Kuumba: Using our gifts to uplift others.

God calls us to grow and renew our minds. Creativity is using our God-given gifts to uplift our families, our youth, and our communities.

Romans 12:2 NIV

 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. 

This verse is a potent reminder that perfection is achieved through the renewing of the mind, set against high spiritual and ethical standards. For youth, this verse suggests that progressive perfection, continuous improvement, comes about through self-conscious ethical thought and practice.

Daily Reminder:

God calls us to grow, improve, and use our gifts to make a positive difference in the world around us.

Prayer:

Lord, renew our minds and help us use our gifts to uplift our families and communities.

 Day 6 - Creativity/Kuumbe: Doing always as much as we can to leave our community more beautiful and beneficial than we inherited it.
