It’s good to be back

We are so happy to be able to meet for worship again in person at all of our church buildings - not that the church ever went away, but it is good to be able to sing and to meet each other again and praise God together.

Life has moved on in the last year and a half - some things won’t ever be the same again: babies have been born, some members of our congregations are sadly no longer with us, and ways of doing things have changed.

But this is part of our travelling with God, as he challenges us to do new things in a new world.

Jesus warned his followers that “foxes have holes and birds have nests but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head” (see Matthew 8). But the encouragement for those who are willing to move on, whether it is physically changing location or moving forward in a spiritual sense to embrace change, is that there are great rewards:

“Everyone who has given up houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or property, for my sake, will receive a hundred times as much in return and will inherit eternal life” (see Matthew 19).

Let’s look forwards with faith, knowing that God goes before us and will equip us to do what he asks us to do.
