“You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.” Psalm 139:13-16

Pastor Brain shared these words from Psalm 139 on Sunday as he spoke on the occasion of baby Levi’s dedication. A favourite passage of many of you no doubt, myself included, it speaks to us through all seasons of life. I chose to share the New Living Translation for its use of the word “complex” because indeed we are wonderfully complex, not only in our individual make-up but in the lives we find ourselves living, the journeys we find ourselves on.

On Sunday we held baby Levi, and Chad and Julie in prayer, but also others in our midst, those who are on the cusp of new seasons or facing difficult, uncertain times, and throughout it all we are reminded that God, our creator knows, He has complete awareness of everything we have been through, are going through and will go through, as the subheading for Psalm 139 in the New King James reads, “God’s Perfect Knowledge of Man”. Verse 5 of Psalm 139 in the NKJV also has a beautiful image of us being surrounded by God and His protection,

“You have hedged me behind and before, and laid Your hand upon me.”

So, please let us continue, as God’s people, as His body, to surround all of those known to us in need, with love and prayer, that they will feel God’s comfort and presence as they journey on, no matter what season they find themselves in, no matter what they face, and may we all remember this as we continue on our own journeys. 🙏

“Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.”
1 Timothy 4:12

On Sunday we welcomed some of our younger people on the platform to lead us in worship. We also got a great insight into the youth mission trip to Tenerife, from Lynsey’s introduction, a video compilation of each day, and each team member in turn (leaders included) sharing with us some highlights of their experience, culminating in them dancing to the “Church Clap” (and yes, there is video evidence!🤣)

The eldest of our young people on the trip was only 17 and in encouraging young people chapter 4 verse 12 of 1 Timothy is often quoted, but would it surprise you to discover that scholars believe Timothy to have perhaps been in his early-to-mid 30s? The Greek word used - neotēs - could describe anyone of military age up to about 40 years: Timothy would have been relatively young to lead a church even at an age that some young people may consider old today, not only that but Timothy was battling the cultural influences on the church at Ephesus at that time, which influences much of what Paul writes to him.

We live in an age where the world increasingly celebrates youth whilst aging, especially visibly, is frowned upon (like we have any say in the matter 🤷‍♀️) and sometimes it may feel like it creeps into church also, add on the fact that we too are dealing with a myriad of cultural influences, yet 1 Timothy gives practical instructions on how to treat everyone in church with respect. The future of the church relies on everyone working together.

Fresh perspectives, creativity and relevancy coupled with wisdom, guidance and encouragement, each and every one of us endeavouring to live an irreproachable life, setting an example to others, prioritising our character over age. We can all learn from these words in Timothy, younger and older alike, as we consider carefully how we carry ourselves into every “world” we inhabit. We shouldn’t expect to earn respect simply because of our age but by how we act, nor should we let others make us feel small or unimportant. Speaking in kindness and truth, doing what is right, loving and caring for others, trusting in God and living in integrity.

Thank you to everyone who exhibits these characteristics and let us all be inspired by each other to be the people God would have us be according to His word. 🙏

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."
Joshua 1:9

On Sunday Joel gave his testimony; entertaining, tender and inspirational, and on a day like today when many young people are receiving results and have done so recently, and are moving on to their next chapter, Joel had some fantastic insights about what may lie ahead and words of advice. Well worth another watch on YouTube or Facebook.

Joel’s retelling of his experience and revelation whilst watching “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” was particularly moving, and whilst at my parents house on Sunday “The Golden Voyage of Sinbad” 1973 was on tv. I remember as a child watching this in my grandparent’s house for the first time (in the mid 80s, I’m not old enough to have seen it the first time round!) and it holds such a feeling of nostalgia for me, but one line stood out to me on this viewing.

One of Sinbad’s crew, Haroun, on their very dangerous quest, says,

“My heart is full of bravery…
but I have very cowardly legs.”

How many times has that been true of us all?

We are all on our own journeys, and each have our own quests to conquer. We can find bravery in our hearts in many ways; through the courage we muster in ourselves, through encouragement from others, through role models, but true Biblical bravery is trusting God and obeying Him, despite whatever fears we have, being rooted in God’s presence, standing in His truth, and walking forward with Him.

I pray that no matter what you face today; exams results, medical diagnoses, grief, trauma, financial worries, work stress, relationship troubles, uncertainty about the future, you will have peace, knowing you have a God who loves you, a God who is always present, a God who is for you! 🙏

“Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.” James 4:8
