Join Andrew Scotland as he unpacks the profound depth behind the Christmas season, moving beyond tinsel and gifts to explore a story that is often harrowing and perched on a "knife edge".
Andrew illustrates the reality of loneliness and fatherlessness that many face, contrasting it with the transformative truth of Psalm 68: God is a father to the fatherless and a defender of widows.

Join our guest speaker this morning, Lovemore Madavo, as he opens the Book of Jeremiah, chapters 38 and 39, to illuminate the principle of "Faith in action". This powerful message introduces the often-overlooked character Ebed-Melek, a Cushite official in the royal palace who intervened to save the prophet Jeremiah from a muddy cistern where he faced starvation.
Despite being a slave, a foreigner, and a eunuch—a person perhaps considered worthless—Ebed-Melek’s action was essential for Jeremiah's ministry to succeed. Lovemore emphasizes that God has a way of sending people, sometimes for only a brief moment, to define the ministries of others, illustrating that God can use you regardless of your background.

Join us today for this powerful message, as Lorian Holder - a member of New Life Rugby, tackles a question that is deeply personal and intimate: "Who holds the reins to your life? Is it you or is it God?" Drawing on his own testimony, including periods of professional chaos, family loss, and a heart attack, Lorain Holder illustrates the difference between a life that is "out of control" and "completely stuck"—both outcomes of trying to maintain self-control.
The sermon is grounded in the instruction and invitation found in Proverbs 3:1-6, urging us not to lean on our own understanding but to trust in the Lord with all our heart and submit to Him in all our ways. Lorain explains that giving God the reins brings peace and wholeness, which, in the Hebrew context, is the true meaning of prosperity, rather than merely financial wealth.
