click here This Sunday David Gavin continued with our series on the seven sayings of Jesus from the Cross. This Sunday we looked at Jesus word's  'My God, My God, Why have you forsaken me' Matthew 27 v 45-50 click here We firstly read Psalm 22 together, click here , where we saw the prophecies contained in it about the crucifixion of Christ and the theme of the Suffering Servant. We went on to look at why Jesus died and the price He paid for our sins, and how all our sins can be forgiven if we trust and believe that Jesus Christ is Lord and that He has made things right for us with God the Father and how we do not have to earn our forgiveness but by truly believing and receiving the Grace and Mercy of a God who loves us. But, we have to make God personal to us, My God, My Lord, My Savior.  Have you made Jesus the Lord of your life ?

Sunday 13th March saw Rev David Gavin bring us the message on Luke 23 : 32 - 43 click here It was good to hear from David again as we continued our look at the seven things Jesus said from the Cross, today's saying was broken into three parts by David. 'TODAY,           YOU WILL BE WITH ME (Jesus)           IN PARADISE' What happens when we die?   There were two thieves on the crosses either side of Jesus, one was told by Jesus, today he would be with Jesus in Paradise, Why?  This thief was guilty of crimes so bad he was being crucified, he was breathing his last and would never be able to do any good deeds that would earn his way into heaven, yet Jesus accepted him, Why?  The thief turned to Jesus saying 'Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.' He acknowledged Jesus as king.' Jesus immediately accepted him, forgave him and welcomed him.  This is the same as what is offer...

This Sunday we had David Thomson bringing us the word from John 19 v 17-30 click here. In these verses we see Jesus, even as He is suffering and dying, thinking about His mother, particularly poignant as it was Mothering Sunday, and speaking to us about Grace. God's grace to reach out to others even when we ourselves may be going through so much. He also challenged us as a church about how graceful we are when others come to our church in search of acceptance and love, and are we seen as a place where grace abounds to a lost and hurting world, where no matter what issues people have they will be loved and accepted, even when we ourselves may be going through some hard times. The Spirit of the living God must be allowed to work in us and through us, so that the love and grace of the living God will shine among us, that all men may come to see the real Jesus within us. 14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, 15 that ...
