Sunday mornings: that magical battle between your warm duvet saying “just five more minutes” and the rest of the world shouting “hurry up!” This Sunday, why not side with something better? Come and join us at SFGH Church instead — where the welcome is genuine, the worship lifts your heart, and the preaching is far more encouraging than the news headlines.

No need for a perfect life, perfect outfit, or perfect singing voice. Just bring yourself — the real you. Whether you’re full of faith, full of questions, or somewhere in between, there’s a place for you here.

You might even leave with a smile, a fresh cuppa, and something worth carrying with you through the week.

• Family Service this Sunday at 11.30am (with tea & coffee from 11.00am).
• All ages welcome — big kids and little ones alike!

See you there!

In today’s reflection we look at Judges 12:1-7 — a tragic story of jealousy and civil war among God’s people after a great victory. The infamous “Shibboleth” test reminds us of the terrible cost of pride and division. A sobering warning for every generation of believers.

The Apostle Peter was one of the first disciples Jesus called. All the evidence we have in the Bible, which is more than for many Disciples, is that he was an extrovert character, his heart was very much worn on his sleeve but after Pentecost, he became the leader of the Apostles that remained in Jerusalem. But his preaching after Pentecost is an absolute classic of a gospel message and his epistles show a maturity that only came from adversity and faithfulness to the Lord.

I want to think about some words he spoke to Jesus whilst Jesus was on earth after some of Jesus’ followers had left Him, because Jesus had warned them of trials to come. Jesus asked the question to those that remained, “Will you also leave me?” and Peter immediately comes back with an eternal truth, “To whom shall we go, You have the words of eternal life!” What a glorious truth!

Those words should ring in our ears and be etched on our hearts, not just for salvation but for the whole of our life experience, ‘to whom shall we go?’. Who can compare with Jesus! He guides, helps, listens to us every day, even if we are not conscious of His care and love. And He Himself later could say with absolute truth and authority, “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life”. We have committed our lives to Him for eternity, but that should be echoed in our daily commitment to follow Him.

In today’s reflection we look at Psalm 55 — David’s honest cry to God after being betrayed by a close friend. From deep anguish to the wonderful promise “Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you,” this psalm offers real comfort and strength when we face hurt from those we trusted.

There are words in the King James Version of the Bible, that we no longer use in our 21st Century everyday life. In newer versions they either get changed to what are now more common words or the whole phrase/sentence is rewritten in a different style. One of those words is ‘whomsoever’, which we would perhaps replace with ‘whoever’. As an old person who was brought up on the KJV, I like whomsoever as it has a quaint ring to it.

However, it doesn’t really matter, as it is what follows that is more important and one verse that is so important that has the word in it, is found in Romans 10 13, “Whomsoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved”.

What a promise is this! If it was a promise made by man it would have little value, but Paul was inspired by God when he wrote it, so because it is God’s promise, it is totally reliable. When we call upon someone, it is generally because we trust them to do something for us and in general, that person is the only one who can help, and this is exactly what Paul had in mind. Those of us that have put our trust in our Lord Jesus Christ have definitely reached out in our need to God and He has fulfilled His promise and will continue to do so until He comes again.

I recently listened to a very thoughtful and balanced discussion from the "Logos - What in the Word?" podcast, hosted by Kirk E. Miller with guest Dr. Danielle Treweek. Dr. Treweek has done significant academic and pastoral work on the theology of singleness, including her books The Meaning of Singleness (2023) and Single Ever After (2025). Their conversation on 1 Corinthians 7 is one of the most helpful treatments I’ve come across on this often-misunderstood chapter.

In today’s reflection we examine Ezra 10:1-17 — a powerful and challenging account of deep, heart-broken confession, bitter communal weeping over sin, and the costly but necessary steps of obedience as God’s people dealt with forbidden marriages. A sobering yet encouraging reminder that true repentance always moves beyond sorrow into decisive action.
