This week, Malcolm spoke on the story of The Road to Emmaus in Luke 24. It is a passage that reminds us that Easter is not just a moment in history, it is something life-giving, heart-warming and hope-inspiring for us today.

Two ordinary disciples, not part of the twelve, are walking away from Jerusalem with crushed spirits. They had hoped Jesus would be the one to redeem Israel, but now it all felt like another disappointment. And yet, it’s in that very place, confusion, doubt and retreat that Jesus meets them. This is the quiet encouragement of the story: wherever we are, even when we feel like we’re walking away, we are never beyond His reach.

As they walk, Jesus points them back to Scripture, and something begins to stir “were not our hearts burning within us?” Still, it isn’t until they invite Him to stay, until the bread is taken, blessed, and broken, that their eyes are fully opened. Faith often works like this. It isn’t always instant clarity, but a growing awareness that leads to a choice: will we recognise Him – and will we invite Him in? Can we step forward in faith even when the proof isn’t there yet? We are called to trust – not just in what we can see, but in what God is doing next. The question for us is simple and searching: will we recognise the presence of Christ in our own lives?

There’s something striking about the resurrection account in John 20, the ones who remembered Jesus’ promise to rise again were the women and even His enemies, while His own disciples seemed to have forgotten.

Huddled together behind locked doors, you can imagine the weight in that room: confusion, fear, shattered expectations. Everything they had hoped for must have felt lost and then suddenly, Jesus stands among them. At first, they can hardly believe it, even thinking He might be a spirit, but then recognition dawns, and their fear is replaced with overwhelming joy.

In that moment, Jesus does more than just prove He is alive. He breathes new life into them, echoing the very breath of God that gave life to Adam. This is a moment of renewal, of affirmation: the Creator Himself standing before them. And then comes the calling, “As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.”

They are not just witnesses; they are now participants in God’s mission, carrying the message of forgiveness, not their own power to forgive, but the authority to declare what God has already done. It’s empowering, humbling, and deeply purposeful.

Even Thomas, in his doubt, reminds us of something important, sometimes we think we need more proof, more signs, more certainty. Yet Jesus meets him where he is and John closes by reminding us that many other signs were done, but what we have is enough. Enough to believe. Enough to trust.

In a world full of noise, doubt, and distraction, perhaps one of the most precious things we can hold onto is this: to be still, and know that He is God.

Easter is God saying no to the finality of death and yes to new life!

The stone was rolled away to not let Jesus out, it was rolled away to let us in !

Easter is a reminder that fear has not the final word, Jesus is giving us that hope that now matter happens in our lives he is always there in step with us on that journey.

God has conquered death we then should conquer those things that effect us all whether that is homelessness or poverty our environment we should be there to advocate for these things.

We must remember that when we are dealing with lives challenges we are never alone Jesus is with us on this journey.

Christ has risen!

Our theme this week is ‘Jesus and Lazarus’ based on John 11: 1-45.

In summary, Lazarus and his sisters, Mary and Martha, are very close friends of Jesus.
Jesus is quite a distance away when Lazarus falls seriously ill. His sisters were so concerned they sent a messenger to tell Jesus. Jesus replied that the illness will not result in Lazarus’s death and stayed where he was for 2 more days. Jesus then tells his disciples that Lazarus has ‘fallen asleep’ which they take literally.

When Jesus goes to them both Martha and Mary say to Jesus that if he had been present her brother would not have died.

They all go to the tomb where Jesus calls to Lazarus to come out. In verse 44 we read ‘The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.”

So what can we take away from this event?
Firstly, no task, no problem, no promise is too hard for God.

God always listens to and answers our prayers. However, this will be in his time not human time. We always want quick replies, quick actions, immediate responses.

God gives us time to reflect and learn from the situation before we see his response. It allows us to lean on our trust in him. To understand that God transcends human limitations.

We welcomed a special guest speaker on Sunday, Reverend Rebecca Purling.

Walking in the dark is full of challenges, uneven footpaths, exposed tree roots and so one must walk carefully to avoid these challenges and hazards.

In this passage there was a man born blind, by the power of Jesus this man was healed, he was then subject to heavy scrutiny about this healing and who healed him. He knew that a man of God healed him, the Pharisees rejected this and threw him out, he met Jesus again and become a believer.

We are blind at times to the message of Jesus, living in a dark world, there are so much sadness, war, rumours of wars, we do live in a dark world. Just like the blind man who was healed, he saw the true Jesus, but he saw the light just like us we need to open our eyes and see the light that Jesus is.

We need to be bearers of light in our community, it is not always a way walk but with the help of the spirit and each other we can be those beacons of light in this community and to our neighbours.

Remember it is a light that will never be overcome by the darkness of this world.

Samaritan’s and Jews in the time of Jesus did not get along. When Jesus met with a Samaritan woman and asks for a drink it was controversial.

Jesus knew her lifestyle but still loved her and through this conversation she not only is saved but in her excitement she brings up her whole village to meet Jesus and through this account many become believers in Jesus!

Jesus does not care where you come from, what nationality you are he lives all and wants them to be in his kingdom.

We all thirst for Jesus, we can run from one well to another and another but nothing will quench our thirst only the living water that Jesus gives will stop our thirst for eternity.

Laws are a big part of our lives. We live by road rules, workplace policies, school guidelines there are even entire TV shows built around the law.

In Jesus’ day, law was central to Jewish life too. It shaped identity, worship, and daily living.
Today, Paul spoke about Nicodemus, a Pharisee. A man who was educated, devout, and serious about his faith. Yet he wasn’t closed-minded. He came to Jesus willing to listen, willing to learn. He even acknowledged, with humility, that no one could do what Jesus was doing unless God was with Him.
But then Jesus speaks about being “born again,” and Nicodemus struggles. It’s a hard concept. Maybe it still is today.

Being born again doesn’t erase the past. It doesn’t pretend our history didn’t happen. Instead, it changes the direction of our growth. It’s not about rewriting where we’ve been it’s about where we’re heading.

And perhaps that’s the heart of it. Faith isn’t just about rules. Relationships especially our relationship with God aren’t sustained by law alone. They require compassion, love, grace, and a willingness to see and understand one another.

John 3:16 reminds us that God’s posture toward the world is love. And love transforms far more deeply than law ever could.

On Sunday, David's message was from Matthew 17: verses 1-9, a passage referred to as 'The Transfiguration'.

When we ask the kids of today about the word 'transform' they immediately answer about toys and films. A toy in one state, perhaps a car, can be transformed into another, a superhero or villain.

Jesus takes Peter, James and John up a mountain. While they were there Jesus was transformed, his face and clothes shone like the sun. Suddenly 2 figures, Moses and Elijah, appeared and were talking with Jesus.
Peter understood the awe of the moment and wanted to build 3 shelters, or monuments, 1 each for Jesus, Moses and Elijah.
Then they heard a voice saying, 'This is my beloved Son - whom I love, with him I am well pleased. Listen to Him', God revealing himself.

Peter saw this as a point in time and wanted to build the three shrines to commemorate the occasion. Instead Jesus led them back down the mountain to the valley telling them to not tell anyone until after he has been raised from the dead.

We are told to listen to him but this does come with a cost: Obedience leads to difficulty so how do we respond?
We may see without listening or listen without action, staying on the mountain or we may choose to act and head back down to the valley.

For us this can be a moment of clarity for us to draw on in hard times. It provides hope out of darkness.

While we meet God on the mountain do we choose to stay there and build monuments or do we listen to Jesus and follow him back down the mountain to serve in the valley, to be Christ to those we meet.

On Sunday, Jim reminded us that in Matthew 5:13–20, Jesus is the foundation, the glue, like mortar holding bricks together. Just as the sun provides the physical light that makes life on earth possible, God is the source of true spiritual light.

The world often searches for meaning through science, philosophy, or human reasoning alone, yet questions remain about the very origins of life itself. The bigger question for us is this: do we dismiss the idea of God, or do we recognise that in God’s presence there is light, purpose, and life?

Jesus calls us the salt of the earth and the light of the world. In ancient times, salt preserved and protected but when contaminated, it lost its purpose. In the same way, when society drifts from Jesus’ teaching, we risk losing the distinctiveness we were created to carry.

We are called to reflect God’s light, just as the moon reflects the sun in the darkness. Even when faith is challenged, Jesus reminds us that blessing and reward come from standing firm. From Isaiah’s promise that light rises in darkness, to the story of Hanukkah, to Jesus fulfilling the Law by showing its true heart, loving God fully, Scripture consistently points us toward hope.
Let your light shine. The light will win.
