The Tomb Is Empty, For He Has Risen! πŸŒ…

The stone was rolled away.

The grave was empty.

Death was defeated.

This is the centre of our hope.

Not memory. Not tradition.

A living risen Saviour.

β€œHe is not here; he has risen!”
The Gospel of Luke 24:6

The Waiting Day ⏳

Saturday holds the tension many of us know well.

The promise had been spoken, but resurrection had not yet been seen.

The disciples waited in grief, uncertainty, and silence.

Sometimes faith lives in that same place, trusting before understanding.

β€œWeeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.”
Book of Psalms 30:5

Tomorrow we gather to celebrate the morning that changed everything.

Love Held on the Cross ✝️

Good Friday is not called good because suffering was easy.

It is called good because love refused to walk away.

The cross was where mercy met justice.

β€œIt is finished.”

The Table, The Towel, The Prayer 🍞

On the night before the cross, Jesus shared bread, washed feet, and prayed.

Even in the shadow of suffering, He chose service, humility, and love.

β€œDo this in remembrance of me.”
First Epistle to the Corinthians 11:24

Tomorrow morning we join with Churches Together Stratford for a Walk of Witness through the town.

Quiet Before the Cross πŸŒ™

Some moments in Holy Week are quiet.

Before the betrayal, before the arrest, before the trial, there was a stillness.

Sometimes faith also asks us to sit in the silence and trust God when nothing seems to be moving.

β€œBe still, and know that I am God.”
Book of Psalms 46:10

Join us this Good Friday evening as we reflect together online.

Teaching in the Final Days πŸ“–

In His final days before the cross, Jesus kept teaching.

He spoke clearly about truth, faithfulness, readiness, and what it means to truly follow Him.

Even knowing what was coming, He continued to pour out wisdom.

β€œHeaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.”
The Gospel of Luke 21:33

When Jesus cleared the Temple πŸ”₯

Jesus entered the temple and overturned the tables.

His anger was not reckless. It was righteous.
A holy response to worship being replaced by distraction, commerce, and empty practice.

Holy Week reminds us that faith is not performance. It is surrender.

β€œMy house will be called a house of prayer.”
The Gospel of Matthew 21:13

This Friday, we pause to remember the cost of redemption.

✨️ WEDNESDAY WISDOM ✨️

Psalm 23 v 1
β€œ The Lord is MY Shepherd, I shall not be in want”.

This is the most well-known Psalm in the Bible, it has been memorised, from young children through to Grandparents ..throughout all generations. It has been a comfort to many weary souls, and rightly so.

But there are many of us who have become so familiar with words. We gloss over the opening sentence of this well-known psalm of David, we have forgotten the depth.

King David, previously a shepherd of the sheep, here declaring he is a follower of the shepherd.

Sheep need to be shepherded..


In Johns Gospel Jesus says, β€œMy sheep hear my voice, I know them, and they follow me”.

Following the Shepherd is personal,

David says β€œMY Shepherd”
Jesus says β€œMY sheep”

Hearing and following, are like a hand in a glove, we cannot follow if we cannot hear.

Be transparent with yourself and the Lord today.

Ask yourself - Am I a listener and a follower?

Can I say like David, β€œThe lord is MY shepherd”.

πŸ™πŸ» PRAYER πŸ™πŸ»

Lord Jesus, My shepherd.
Help me today, to quiet my heart, and listen to your still, small voice, and follow you, and you alone.

Amen.

✨️ WEDNESDAY WISDOM ✨️

β€˜If’ is such a small word yet when we look in scripture, that word has life changing and eternal consequences.

God tells us in Deuteronomy 28:1 IF you fully obey The Lord your God and carefully follow all His commands, the scripture continues with bountiful promises of blessings for obedience, followed by severe warnings for disobedience.

We heard only last week that IF my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, pray, seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, God will then hear from Heaven, forgive our sin and heal our land. ( 2 Chronicles 7:14)

Jesus said in Matthew 6:14-15 IF we forgive men when they sin against us, God will forgive us our sins, but IF we do not forgive men when they sin against us, God will not forgive our sins.

These 3 examples from scripture are crystal clear in telling us that God’s promises and blessings are conditional and we make the choice whether to obey or not.
The fear of The Lord is the beginning of wisdom, may we be wise and make right choices!

πŸ™ PRAYER πŸ™
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for making me your child.
I belong to you, help me to make right choices, to obey you fully and carefully follow your commands.
I want your will fulfilled in my life and live in the blessings of your promises.
Amen
