Month: January 2026

We don’t want to just have more people attending church, we want a growing community.

The start of a new year reminds us that we can’t control what will happen this year. But we can trust the promises that God makes. And that allows us to enter 2026 confidently.

Some signs warn you about what is round the corner. Others tell you that you have arrived at your destination. Others tell you where you need to go next.

Signs are there to be paid attention to. Today we will look at one of the signs that got everyone’s attention.

You know the song: I wish it could be Christmas everyday. What would it look like if it was? How do we live the Christmas message for the 11 other months of the year?

Have you ever been to a party and been surprised at who else has been invited? Maybe you were surprised that it was you that was invited!

The first Christmas stories are full of people that were the last people that you would have expected, but that gives hope to all of us!

The headline was ‘Jesus scores’. It still takes me by surprise when I see news about the Arsenal player named Jesus.

But it reminds us that there was a time when Jesus was an everyday name, that had an out of the world meaning. His mission was in plain sight – every time he introduced himself to others.
