The month of May often brings a sense of fresh beginnings. Gardners look forward to it and there is a general feeling of expectation as winter is past and summer approaches. As the days grow longer and creation bursts into life, we are reminded of the opening words of Genesis: “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” Before anything existed, God was already at work—bringing order out of chaos, light out of darkness, and life where there was none. This

I had the pleasure and privilege of visiting Reformation sights in Geneva with a group of friends from Bible College last month. There were a lot of happy times and memories. One thing that is particularly etched on my mind was visiting The Reformation Wall.’ It has a huge inscription on it: ‘Post Tenebras Lux’ , which means : ‘After darkness, light’. History shows that happened in Geneva some 500 years ago. However, it happened way before that too! Mark 15: 33-39: And when

Forgiving others who hurt you is one of the most challenging and most Christ-like things we are called to do. When someone wounds us, the pain can feel justified, even righteous. Yet Scripture consistently points us toward forgiveness, not because the hurt was small, but because God’s grace toward us is immeasurably greater. In Ephesians 4:32 we read, “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” Our forgiveness flows f

Matthew 22: 1-2 : The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son. And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come?” We have the very great privilege to marry a lovely young couple in our home later this month on Valentine’s Day. Everyone is looking forward to it. It’s an occasion we are anticipating and soon will be celebrating. Imagine being invited to a wedding, not a house but a sump

January Blog 2026 The Lord has blessed us to see another New Year. The old has now gone and the new is on our doorstep. 2025 certainly held some challenges for us. Some disappointments even perhaps. Yet it also holds many happy memories. We recall the people who were saved and baptised, celebrating the blessing of Alive Kilmarnock and much more. But what will 2026 bring us? We look forward in expectation! We look forward in faith and confidence as well as in love. Proverb

As we enter this beautiful season, our hearts turn toward the story that has shaped the centuries —the birth of Jesus Christ. More than sparkling lights or wrapped gifts, Christmas reminds us that God stepped into our world with love beyond measure. “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given” (Isaiah 9:6), a promise fulfilled in the humblest of settings: a manger in Bethlehem. In a period that can often feel too busy or overwhelming, Christ’s story challenges us

Our family just got back from a fantastic tour of Ancient Ephesus. It was historically interesting and spiritually challenging and infact as a church we have been embarking on a series on the first 3 Chapters of Revelation. Revelation 2: 1-7: Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and
