“…through love serve one another.” (Galatians 5:13)

This morning (18/5/25) we introduced our newest ‘ministry team’ to the rest of our Church family – the ‘Care Team’. Its purpose and function is to provide practical care and help for the church family and to do this for each other whenever difficult or unexpected circumstances arise. We praise God for this small step in the development of our ministries!

The first meeting of our new ‘Book Club’ was held last night. The book we are reading and discussing (see image below) is R C Sproul’s, ‘The Holiness of God’….it’s deep and engaging (what else could it be on such a big topic?)!

Interested in joining in? It’s not too late. Contact us for details.

The last words spoken by dying people can be sad, weird or anything in between. Elvis Presley said, “I’m going to the bathroom to read.” Joseph Wright was a linguist who edited the English Dialect Dictionary. His last word was “Dictionary.” Multimillionaire, Richard Mellon enjoyed a game of Tag with his brother through seven decades of his life. When dying, Richard whispered, “Last tag” to his brother who then was “It” for four years until his death. In John 19:30 we find read that the last words of Jesus were, ‘It is finished’. But what was it that was finished? His suffering? The drink he’d been offered?

The Apostle John wrote in the common Greek of the day and in that language, Jesus said just one word, which has this meaning, ‘It is finished, it stands finished and it will always be finished’. The death of Jesus was no accident. He willingly embraced the cross. His death was not an example either. His death was a payment. By saying ‘it is finished’, Jesus expressed that what he had come to do – to rescue God’s people – and that was now complete. He paid a debt that wasn’t his, leaving absolutely nothing to pay.

See, salvation is God’s work on our behalf. It is a gift from God that is received by faith. Everything hinges on what Jesus completed. And what’s more, this last word of Jesus is a lifeline to those who believe. Call on Him. He will save you. If you don’t, then He must speak that last word about you.
