Last night at our prayer meeting we considered our Lord's words in Matthew 11:12:"The kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force."

Our focus was upon the holy violence of prayer, not a violence directed toward men, but a determined laying hold upon God. The Christian life is not passive.

The flesh continually opposes the Spirit, and every believer knows something of the struggle involved in drawing near to God. Yet Scripture calls us to stir ourselves up to take hold of Him (Isaiah 64:7), pressing through unbelief, distractions, and spiritual sluggishness.

We connected this with Psalm 37:4: "Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart."

As we delight ourselves in the Lord, He not only answers prayer but shapes our desires. He plants within our hearts longings that are pleasing to Him, desires for holiness, communion with Christ, the salvation of souls, the advance of His kingdom, and the glory of His name.

True prayer is the soul laying hold of God's promises and pleading them back to Him. It is coming to the throne of grace with holy expectancy, believing that God delights to answer those desires He Himself has placed within the hearts of His people.
"Lord, do as Thou hast said." (2 Samuel 7:25)

Looking Back.

We thought we would share this photograph from The Revivalist magazine in 2008, kindly sent to us by Rev. Kyle Paisley from Oulton Broad Free Presbyterian Church. It captures Rev. Paul Thompson and his family at the beginning of an earlier chapter of ministry. The years have passed quickly, but the Lord’s faithfulness has remained constant.

Tonight was our youth service, we were so blessed to see the church full once again and witness God’s work in the young people. We also recognised the contribution of Mr. Gary Adair as he steps down after many years of faithful service in the youth work at our church.

Gary has been a tremendous blessing to generations of young people. A godly and wise man, he has had a remarkable gift for encouraging young people to step out of their comfort zones, develop their gifts, and become actively involved in the life and witness of the church.

The fruit of his labour was evident tonight as the young people took part in the service, and it was a real joy and encouragement to see them using their gifts and abilities.

A special presentation was made to Gary by Luke Monaghan (“Sprinter”), the longest-serving member of the youth group, making the occasion all the more meaningful and a fitting tribute to Gary’s years of faithful investment in young lives.

We thank God for Gary’s dedication, leadership, and Christian example over many years. While he will be greatly missed in this role, we pray the Lord’s richest blessing upon him in the days ahead.

Today we expressed our sincere appreciation to Mrs. Judith Brown as she steps down from Sunday School teaching after 18 years of faithful service. A godly woman and a true mother in Israel, she has been a blessing to generations of children and to our entire church family. We will greatly miss her in the Sunday School, but we thank God for her faithful example and pray for His continued blessing upon her.

We give thanks to God for a blessed Children’s Day Service today. As we look at these pictures, our hearts are encouraged by the sight of so many young faces and families gathering around God’s Word.

In days when many challenges surround the Church, we are reminded that the Lord is still building His kingdom and fulfilling His promises from generation to generation. We praise Him for His goodness and pray that these children will grow up to know, love, and serve the Lord Jesus Christ.

“To the praise of the glory of his grace.” (Ephesians 1:6)

Why not join us tonight at 6:30pm of our second service, the youth will be taking part and supper will be served afterwards.

Some pictures from a fantastic evening with our church young people. We are very thankful for such an encouraging and enjoyable group to spend time with. A great night was had by all!

Join us tomorrow as our Sunday School Service & Prize Giving takes place during our Morning Service at 11:30am, and our Youth Sunday (Evening Service) takes place at 6:30pm, with supper served afterwards.

🙏 Prayer Before Each Service 🙏
A time of prayer will be held before each service, and we would love you to join us in seeking the Lord's blessing.

Please pray:
• That people from our local community, both young and old, will come along.
• That those who have received an invitation will respond and attend.
• That God's Word will be preached with power and clarity.
• That hearts will be touched by the Gospel and souls will be saved for His Kingdom.

"The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." — James 5:16

Let us unite in prayer and trust God to do a mighty work in our community. 🙏✨

A worthwhile read for all our followers. By Rev. Peter McIntyre Clogher Valley Free Presbyterian Church County Tyrone.
