TAKE HOLD of the Lord in 2026 🌅
What lies ahead this year? Will it be more of the same, or a season of new growth in God?
The Bible reminds us that the faith way to embrace the future is to see it through the lens of eternity. For those in Christ, that eternity has already begun 🙌
🔑 Three keys as we step into 2026:
1️⃣ There’s no such thing as luck or fate. God’s principles of sowing and reaping still stand — good choices bring good fruit.
2️⃣ Take hold! What’s available to us in Christ doesn’t just fall into our laps. When we seek earnestly, we find.
3️⃣ God is the Rewarder — the path of the righteous grows brighter and brighter! 🌤️
So this year, let’s seek the Lord and His Kingdom above all else. Step away from complacency. Draw near to God in prayer, in the Word, and in service to others. He’s the one constant in every season — and He’s always good ❤️
Reflect on these scriptures as you commit 2026 to Him:
Hebrews 11:6 | Galatians 5:13 | 2 Cor 6:17 | Galatians 5:16 | 2 Cor 5:15 | Phil 3:14 | Phil 4:13
🙏 This is your year to TAKE HOLD of all God has prepared!

In the Presence of God (by Francis Frangipane. Copyright Frangipane). page 13:

Did not out Master warn of those who
‘… trusted in themselves that
they were righteous, and viewed others with contempt' (Luke 18:9)? Every time we judge another Christian, we do so with an attitude of self-righteousness. Each time we criticize another church, contempt is the motive behind our words. The irony of our Christianity is that so many churches look upon each other with identical attitudes of superiority! The modern church has become overstocked with those who, thinking they were holy, have become the exact opposite of holiness because they so lack humility!
Yet the humility we seek is drawn from a well that goes deeper than the awareness of our needs. Even in times of spiritual fullness, we must delight in weakness, knowing all strength is the product of God's grace. The humility we hope to find must go beyond the pattern of living proud lives, interrupted momentarily by intervals of self-abasement. Meekness must become a way of life. Like Jesus, we must delight in becoming,'... lowly in heart'. Like Jesus, His disciples are humble by choice.
Anyone Can Judge, but Can You Save?
Hypocrites love to judge; it makes them feel superior.
But it shall not be so with you. You must seek earnestly for lowliness of heart. Many zealous but proud Christians failed to reach holiness because they presumed they were called to judge others.
Jesus Christ did not come to condemn the world but to save the world. Anyone can pass judgement, but can they save? Can they lay down their lives in love, intercession and faith for the one judged? Can they target an area of need, and rather than criticizing, fast and pray, asking God to supply the very virtue they feel is lack-ing? And then, can they persevere in love-motivated prayer until that fallen area blooms in godliness? Such is the life Christ commands we follow!

Day 3 (In the Presence…) Good morning all. Whilst I have been tempted here to post just extracts of Frangipanes’s book (In the Presence of God), as I now read it through (with you) afresh after so many years, it seems even more relevant now, if that were possible. Many among us, I know, struggle to find the time and discipline to deeply read and meditate on truly edifying Christian books. Serialising it here in full (or near full) but in bite-sized daily chunks may help all. It is worth mentioning here that I only do these kinds of things prayerfully and when I have a sense of commission in doing so. Keep in step with the Spirit! And the Lord will bless your day, Rod.

Summary of last Sunday’s message - and subsequent response prayer:

Faith doesn’t happen automatically. It requires a personal decision. Jesus teaches in parables because faith must involve choice. We have to want to understand. We have to lean in and ask, “What does this mean?” There must be a response within us.
It’s in the next step of obedience. It’s in you. In the moment you say “yes” to God, even if it costs something.
Faith is not just about comfort—it’s about calling. It’s about courage. It’s about letting God work through you, no matter what the world thinks. Because the power of the cross is not a theory. It’s a force. And it begins with one obedient life. So let us pray: Lord Jesus,
Help me to choose faith, not by habit but by heart.
Give me the courage to lean in, to ask, to seek, and to say “yes” to You—even when it costs something.
Let my obedience open the way for Your power to work through me.
Use my life, Lord, not for comfort, but for calling.
May the force of the Cross shape me into someone who trusts, who follows, and who responds. Amen.

A prayer from last weeks sermon. Lord God,
Thank You for calling us to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Today, we ask You to break anything in our lives that keeps us from growing—
every comfort, every habit, every possession that holds us back.

Help us, Lord, to give You more room in our hearts.
Where we've limited You, expand us. Where we've shrunk back, draw us forward.
Teach us to walk with You not only in public, but in the secret place—
to know You deeply, not just know about You.

Call forth the man or woman of God that You've created us to be.
Help us to leave behind childish things and to walk in spiritual maturity.
May we no longer just seek a spiritual "boost," but long for transformation.

Lord, we give You ourselves—
not just a part of us, but everything.
Fill us afresh, and lead us on.

In Jesus' name we pray,
Amen.
