CALLED TO BE… TRUSTING
Today’s meeting was led by Majors Gary and Lorraine and focused on trusting God. We were reminded that trusting God can sometimes feel easy and at other times incredibly difficult, particularly when life brings challenges that seem beyond our control. We sang Trust and Obey together, and reflected on how these familiar words often become an anthem for us during our own journeys of faith.
Gary started off by saying that the idea of divine trust can seem straightforward until we find ourselves facing storms. During a time of prayer, we were encouraged to quietly bring our own struggles before God. Whether those storms were fear, grief, uncertainty, disappointment or pressure, we were invited to place them in His hands and allow Him into the difficult places of our lives. As the piano played ‘Faithful God, So Unchanging’, we reflected on the words, “I depend on You, I call out to You again and again,” and spent time seeking God’s help and guidance.
Lorraine then brought us the Bible reading which came from Matthew 14:22–33, the account of Jesus walking on the water and Peter stepping out of the boat in faith.
In Gary’s message, he reminded us that the water was not calm; it was rough and stormy. Yet it was in the midst of the storm that Peter encountered Jesus in a new way. Trust pushed him beyond what he thought was possible.
Peter’s step onto the water was not about mastering a skill but about submission and faith. Although he faltered, Jesus did not let him drown. We were challenged to consider where God may be calling us to step out in trust today and we were asked whether we are bold enough to call to Jesus, trust Him, and remember that He is always faithful.
If you’d like to join us next week, or on any Sunday, please come along at 10.30am. We’d love to welcome you, where everyone is welcome, nobody is perfect, and anything is possible.
