I hope you are well and that you enjoyed the Christmas season.

Our worship continues into a new year! But worship can become a dead routine if we’re not careful. How can we breathe new life into our experience of worshipping Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour?

This week’s message marks Epiphany - a time to remember the visit of the Wise Men. The story makes it clear that everyone across the world is called to acknowledge Jesus as King and, indeed, to worship him. The Wise Men made a long journey and went to a great deal of trouble to offer their gifts and to prostrate themselves before Jesus.

To what lengths would we go in order to worship Jesus? Are we willing to inconvenience ourselves to express our devotion to God? Are we willing to share the happy message of the saving power of Jesus with the people we may come across in our lives? Let’s ponder these things at the start of 2023, and, after our pondering, let’s act on the truth we discover.

I send you my warm good wishes for a happy new year!
