Ever feel like you've hit the end of the road? Tried everything, prayed every prayer, and still... nothing's moving? Here's the thing — what looks like the end to us is rarely the end to God.

His possibilities don't run out when ours do. When we're out of ideas, out of energy, out of options, that's usually right where He starts doing His best work.

"With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." — Matthew 19:26

So if you're standing at what feels like a dead end today, take heart. You haven't exhausted anything — you've just reached the edge of your own strength, and the start of His.

Happy Father's Day to all our Fathers and those who fulfil and embrace the role of father in many different ways in many different lives. Thank you.

This Sunday, Ps Dave continues our series on Psalm with Psalm 139.

1 You have searched me, Lord,
and you know me.
2 You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
4 Before a word is on my tongue
you, Lord, know it completely.

7 Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,”
12 even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.
13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

Even to your old age and gray hairs
I am he, I am he who will sustain you.
I have made you and I will carry you;
I will sustain you and I will rescue you. Isaiah 46:4

I'm not sure about you but I'm feeling my age. The last few months have been taxing — emotionally, physically, and spiritually. And it's in this times that this scripture speaks into.

God isn't put off by our tiredness or our weariness. He doesn't love us less when we're running on empty, when we're too tired to 'produce'. He carried us into being, and He's still carrying us now — through the seasons that stretch us the most.

If you're feeling worn thin today, you're not alone, and you're not forgotten.

We have exciting events coming up on the next two Saturdays.

SCTN (Stanthorpe Christian Training Network) will hold Part 2 of its free training on Trauma and Trauma-Informed Care on Sat 5th Sept. In this part, the training will look at God's reaction to trauma using Scripture, explore Trauma-Informed Care and how it works in churches, and discuss how to care for yourself when supporting those with trauma (and when working through your own trauma). If you'd like to know more, just comment or message us and we'll get back to you.

The Saturday after 12th Sept 9am in the church hall provides another learning opportunity as SCTN welcomes our guest speaker Andrew McCafferty. Andrew will be sharing on 'Having Healthy Conflict'. Let's be honest — conflict is something we all face, whether at work, at home, in our families, or within ourselves, yet most of us were never actually taught how to navigate it well. Scripture calls us to be peacemakers and to speak the truth in love. Learning healthy conflict is really about living that out in practical ways. When we raise concerns, set boundaries, and work through disagreements with grace, we honour both God and the people He's placed in our lives. The payoff is real: stronger trust, deeper unity, and relationships that grow through friction instead of being worn down by it.

Please contact the church for more details and to RSVP. Trainings are open to all and not just SBC church attendees.

Be honest — is prayer your emergency hotline, or your daily conversation?

So many of us treat prayer like an insurance policy: something we dust off when life falls apart, then forget about the second things calm down. But that's not what it's meant to be.

"If you only pray when you are in trouble, then you're in trouble."

Prayer isn't a policy you cash in during a crisis — it's a relationship you build day by day. God doesn't want to just hear from you only when you're desperate; He wants to walk with you through the ordinary moments too.

"Pray continually." — 1 Thessalonians 5:17

Not just SOS prayers. Real conversation. Real relationship.

What would it look like to talk to God today — even when everything's fine?

28/08/2026

This Sunday is our Testimony Service, a service with a difference. We spend the whole morning hearing testimonies from various people. This Sunday we are looking at Faithfulness, both God's and ours. Come and hear what God is doing in each other's lives.

27/08/2026

Join us at our church table. Tickets will be available at the church, or you can make your own table by visiting their website and buying tickets.

"Therefore, encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing." - 1 Thess 5:11

I always get challenged when I read this scripture. Mainly because I think back on my day and wonder how many times I encouraged and built up those around me, and how many times I let my impatience, my pride, my selfishness come out instead.

It's humbling to realise how easy it is to tear down without even trying — a sharp word, a rolled eye, an impatient sigh. Building up takes intention; tearing down happens on autopilot.

So today I'm asking God to help me catch those moments before they slip out, and choose encouragement instead.

Who in your life needs to hear something good from you today?
