News and what's new

All services are cancelled until further notice following

the Prime Minister's announcement on Monday March 23rd.

More than ever do we need to read God's Word and

give ourselves to much prayer at this time.

If you’re concerned about COVID-19, a little lesson from church history may give perspective. This is Martin Luther’s approach as he faced the plague “Black death”.

"I shall ask God mercifully to protect us. Then I shall fumigate, help purify the air, administer medicine and take it. I shall avoid places and persons where my presence is not needed in order not to become contaminated and thus perchance inflict and pollute others and so cause their death as a result of my negligence. If God should wish to take me, he will surely find me and I have done what he has expected of me and so I am not responsible for either my own death or the death of others. If my neighbour needs me however, I shall not avoid place or person but will go freely as stated above. See this is such a God-fearing faith because it is neither brash nor foolhardy and does not tempt God."

The Annotated Luther, Volume 4: Pastoral Writings, page 404.

"God's Great Kingdom" - Alex Hutter

Bible verses of the week

"Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed-- in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 

For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written:

"Death is swallowed up in victory." 

"O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?" 

The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. 

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 

1 Corinthians 15 verses 50 - 57
