Found Church Scotland We meet every Sunday at 10.45am at Found Church, Main Street, Larbert. Teas and coffees are served from 10am, and everyone is welcome. W. Evans.

Found Church has been in existence for 100 years, having been pioneered by the late Pastor H. The first building was opened by Sir Ian Bolton on 22nd March 1922. After a temporary relocation due to development, the present site was purchased and a building erected with the full backing of the local ministers in 1954. One of the guest preachers that day was the internationally known "Apostle of Balance" Donald Gee who was pastoring in Edinburgh at the time. Donald Gee frequently ministered in Larbert. The building was extended during the ministry of Pastor Moonie, and then in 1996 under the leadership of Pastor Michael Rollo the building was practically rebuilt, the seating capacity was increased, and a small creche and disabled access/toilet were added. Due to an increase in attendance, morning services are now located at Larbert High School. Found Church is in fellowship with, and subscribes to the Statement of Faith of the Assemblies of God in Great Britain and Ireland, which is a group of around 650 Churches. There are Assemblies of God fellowships in most countries of the world with membership well into millions. The Church is also a member of the Evangelical Alliance. Today approximately 250 people would consider Found Church as their home church, however nearer 250-300 different people come through the doors to attend the various activities offered in the weekly programme. The Assemblies of God is part of the worldwide Pentecostal movement, which now forms one of the largest sections of the Christian Church. Pentecostal Churches emphasise the need for the miraculous, life transforming power of the Holy Spirit to be at work in the Church and in the world today. The rapid growth of the Pentecostal Movement,with an estimated several hundred million adherents, is largely due to this emphasis. The founder Pastor was well known in the community for the "gift of healing" with several testifying to being healed through prayer in the Name of Jesus. Still today the Church believes in the miraculous power of God and several members of the present congregation have experienced both the saving and healing power of Christ.

Have you ever gone to bed tired, only for your mind to start working overtime? Suddenly you are thinking about bills, family, work and things that might never happen. Your body needs rest, but your thoughts have other ideas.

We have all been there. Worry can feel like we are doing something useful, as though thinking about a situation long enough will somehow bring it under control. Usually, it just leaves us exhausted.

Jesus asks a simple question in Luke 12:25: Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life?

It is a gentle reminder that worry cannot give us the control we are looking for. It cannot change yesterday, guarantee tomorrow or give us everything we need for today.

Jesus understands that we have real needs and genuine concerns. Within this passage, he reminds us that our Father knows what we need. We are seen, known and cared for by God.

Trusting him does not mean ignoring the bills or pretending everything is fine. We can make plans, ask for help and take practical steps while bringing our concerns to him.

Sometimes faith looks like saying: Lord, I do not know how this will work out, but I know I can trust you.

The Holy Spirit helps us in those moments when our thoughts feel overwhelming. We can pause, breathe and turn our attention back to the Father who loves us.

You do not have to figure out your whole future today. There is grace for the next conversation, strength for the next decision and help for the next step.

Whatever is weighing on your mind, you can bring it honestly to God. You may still have questions, but you have a Father who cares, and you never have to face those questions alone.

God Bless

Some days, it is easy to feel overlooked. Life gets busy, people have their own worries, and we can wonder whether anyone notices how we are doing.

Maybe you have been carrying something that nobody else knows about. A worry about your family, pressure at work or a question about the future. You might still be smiling and getting on with things, while underneath you feel tired or unsettled.

Jesus speaks into that place with care.

Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows (Luke 12:7).

Think about that for a moment. God knows details about you that you have never bothered to count. For some of us, counting our hair might be getting easier these days! But the point is beautiful. Nothing about your life escapes his attention.

Jesus spoke these words while preparing his followers to face opposition. He was not promising an easy life. He was reminding them that they were precious to their Father, even when following him became difficult.

That same reassurance is for us today.

Your value is not decided by how productive you have been, how confident you feel, or what other people think of you. You matter to God because you are his creation, known and dearly loved.

The Holy Spirit helps us live in that truth. We can bring our fears honestly to God and trust him to strengthen us for whatever lies ahead.

Whatever today holds, you do not have to face it feeling forgotten. Your Father sees you. He knows what you need, understands what you carry, and invites you to trust his care.

You are never lost in the crowd, because God sees you, knows you and cares about you.

God Bless

Christian community is not an optional extra in following Jesus. We need to intentionally make space for one another and devote ourselves to life together.

The early believers did this as part of their everyday faith. These are the basics of what we are called to do. If we want to grow, flourish and become more like Jesus, we need to put down deep roots in community with other believers.

21/10/2026

For some of us, the thought of deep, honest community can feel difficult, especially after experiencing hurt in church.

That hurt is real, and it matters. But it was never God’s heart for you. Don’t let what someone did isolate you from the connection, care and growth God has for you.

Finding connection again can take time. You deserve to be heard, supported and encouraged as you take that step.

Have you ever walked into a room and thought it looked clean, until someone opened the curtains? Suddenly, the sunlight reveals dust you had missed. The light has not created the mess. It has simply helped you see what was already there.

Our hearts can be a bit like that.

We can get used to certain attitudes, habits or ways of thinking without noticing how much they are affecting us. Bitterness starts to feel justified. Comparison becomes normal. Being busy for God quietly replaces spending time with him.

Jesus gives us a loving but challenging reminder in Luke 11:35: See to it, then, that the light within you is not darkness.

He is challenging us to consider what we are allowing to shape our lives. Something can feel right, sound convincing or be widely accepted without reflecting the heart of God.

That is why we need more than our own opinions to guide us. We need the truth of Scripture and the Holy Spirit helping us recognise what draws us closer to Jesus and what pulls us away.

This is not about constantly questioning whether God loves us. His love is settled. It is about staying open enough to let him show us where change is needed.

Sometimes that happens through a Bible verse that challenges our attitude. Sometimes it comes through a conversation we would rather avoid. Sometimes the Spirit gently puts his finger on something we have been explaining away.

The good news is that Jesus brings things into the light so we can find freedom, forgiveness and a different way forward.

We do not need to keep the curtains closed.

Today, let his truth into the ordinary corners of your life. The places nobody else sees matter to him too. His light helps us see clearly again.

God Bless

Have you ever knocked on a door, waited, then wondered whether you should walk away? Perhaps nobody is home. Perhaps they have not heard you. Perhaps you feel awkward knocking again.

Prayer can sometimes feel like that. We bring something to God, wait for an answer, then wonder whether we should mention it again. Does he hear us? Does he care? Are we becoming a nuisance?

Jesus gives us this encouragement: For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened (Luke 11:10).

These words invite us to keep coming to our heavenly Father. We do not need impressive words or a perfect track record. We can come honestly, bringing our questions, our needs and the things we struggle to explain.

This does not mean God promises everything we want, when we want it. He is a loving Father who knows what is good for his children. Sometimes his answer looks different from what we expected. Sometimes we need patience while we wait.

Waiting can be difficult, especially when the situation matters. Jesus makes room for us to return with the same concern, trusting that our Father welcomes us every time.

A little later in this chapter, Jesus speaks about the Father giving the Holy Spirit to those who ask. We are not left to navigate life in our own strength. His Spirit helps us, strengthens us and draws us closer to him.

Whatever you are carrying today, you can bring it to God. The conversation is still open, even if the answer has not yet become clear.

Keep asking. Keep seeking. Keep knocking. Your Father loves you, hears you and welcomes you into his presence, even on the days when words are hard to find.

God Bless

Life can get complicated, can’t it? There are so many things competing for our attention, so many expectations to meet and so many opinions about what matters. Sometimes we need to come back to the basics.

In Luke 10:27, a man answers Jesus with these words: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind and, love your neighbour as yourself.

That is a big calling, but it starts in ordinary places.

Loving God involves more than singing on Sunday. It includes what we think about on Monday, how we respond when we are frustrated and the choices we make when nobody is watching. God wants every part of our lives, including the bits we prefer to keep to ourselves.

Loving our neighbour brings that love into everyday life. It might mean listening instead of checking our phone. It might mean being patient with someone who is struggling, forgiving a hurt or noticing the person everyone else walks past.

The story Jesus tells next reminds us that our neighbour is not simply someone we like or someone who is like us. Love crosses the boundaries we are often tempted to protect.

Thankfully, we are not left to do this in our own strength. The Holy Spirit works in us, shaping our hearts and helping us love in ways we could not manage alone.

Perhaps today the most spiritual thing you do will look surprisingly ordinary. A simple conversation, showing kindness or a moment of patience.

We can make following Jesus sound complicated, but here is something worth remembering: loving God with everything we have changes how we treat the people right in front of us. That is where faith becomes visible, in the middle of everyday life.

God Bless
Pastor Stephen
