Some words stay with us long after they have been spoken. They shape our perspective, strengthen our faith, and often become the encouragement we need for the journey ahead.

This Sunday, we continue our series on the famous words of great people in the Bible as we reflect on the words of Jesus and the timeless truth, hope, and direction they still offer today.

Join us for a refreshing time of worship and the Word as we gather in God's presence.

Date: Sunday, 7th June 2026.

Time: 10:30am.

Venue: Wide way, CR4 1BN.

Come expecting, come ready, there is a place for you in God's presence.

Psalm 31:24 says, "Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord."
This verse is a beautiful reminder that God does not expect us to rely on our own strength.

There will be seasons when life feels challenging, uncertain, and overwhelming, but God calls us to remain courageous and keep our hope in Him. Courage is not about having all the answers; it is about trusting God even when we cannot see the full picture.

When we place our hope in the Lord, He strengthens our hearts, renews our faith, and gives us the grace to keep moving forward. No matter what you may be facing today, hold on to God's promises and trust that He is working all things together for your good.

As you continue to hope in Him, He will provide the strength, peace, and courage you need for every step of your journey.

As Christians, we must make our position clear at all times. Our faith should not be hidden when life is good or abandoned when life becomes difficult. We are called to stand for Christ, represent Him boldly, and never be ashamed of the One we believe in.

There are moments when pain makes people ask, "Where is God?" There are times when challenges make us question His goodness and wonder why certain things are happening. But what God promised us is His presence through every season.

God is with us in the good times and in the difficult ones. He is with us when prayers are answered and when we are still waiting. His faithfulness is not determined by our circumstances.

Then we must never be ashamed of God because of difficult seasons. We must continue to trust Him, stand for Him, and remain faithful even when the journey is tough. God remains good, faithful, and present through it all.

Step into this new season with faith and confidence in God’s perfect plan for your life, trusting fully in His word that all things work together for good to them that love God and are called according to His purpose -Romans 8 verse 28.

Even when things feel uncertain or unclear, remember that God is still working behind the scenes, aligning every situation, every delay, and every step for your good and His glory.

May this month surround you with deep peace in your heart, strength in every challenge, clarity in every decision, and an unshakable hope that carries you daily as you walk boldly in His purpose and grace.
Happy New Month!

David and his men were committed to the vision God had given them. They understood that purpose was bigger than one person, and each person had a role to play in bringing God’s vision to life.

One important lesson we can learn is that when our focus is on God’s assignment and not ourselves, it becomes easier to recognise distractions and things that are not from God. Staying focused on purpose keeps us grounded and discerning of what truly matters.

2Samuel 23 verses 6 and 7 then reminds us that trials and difficult seasons will come, but through God we will always overcome. Challenges may rise, but they can never stop the purpose of God.

Are you truly committed to the vision God has placed before you, and are the people around you helping to build that vision?

Today we celebrate every child as a gift entrusted to us by God.
They are filled with light, hope, and purpose that must be nurtured with love, faith, and guidance.

May they continue to grow in wisdom and flourish in all that God has prepared for them.
Happy Children’s Day to every precious child.

The people around us have more influence on our lives than we often realise. They can shape the way we think, affect the choices we make, and influence our spiritual growth and direction.

We are not meant to grow alone. Being surrounded by people who encourage faith, wisdom, prayer, and purpose can strengthen us in ways we may not even notice daily.

It is important to reflect on the people speaking into our lives. Are they helping you grow closer to God and become better in your walk of faith?
Who you walk with matters, and the right circle can make a lasting difference in who you are becoming.

David was a great leader, but he never walked alone. He understood the importance of having the right people around him and through experience he learnt that teamwork can shape purpose, growth, and destiny.

Looking at the life of David today, one question we should all ask ourselves is this: whose team am I on and who is on my team?

This is not just about knowing people. It is about the people around you influencing your walk with God, your decisions, your mindset, and the direction of your life. The right team can strengthen your faith, sharpen your purpose, and make a real difference in who you become.

Take a moment to really look around. Do you have a team? And more importantly, is it the right team?

Every day, life presents us with choices; some obvious, others subtle. Yet behind many of those decisions is a deeper question: who truly leads your life?

In a world constantly pulling for our attention, convictions, and loyalty, Joshua 24:15 reminds us that serving God must be intentional. Faith is not built on occasional moments of devotion, but on daily decisions to choose God, even when other options seem easier, louder, or more convenient.

“Choose this day whom you will serve… But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

Choosing God means remaining grounded in His truth regardless of what surrounds us. It is a daily decision that shapes the direction, values, and purpose of our lives.

May our choices continually reflect our devotion to Him.
