Just like the shepherds who hurried to see the newborn King and couldn’t wait to share the news, we too are called to pass on the wonder of what we’ve seen and heard. Perhaps use this quote from Charles Spurgeon to inspire you.
“The gospel is not a secret to be kept, but a story to be told.”— Charles Spurgeon
At Christmas, we celebrate the Light of the World — and we are called to reflect that light in the everyday moments of life. This Christmas be inspired by this quote from D L Moody:
“We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won’t need to tell anybody it does. Lighthouses don’t fire cannons to call attention to their shining—they just shine.”
As we celebrate the wonder of Jesus’ birth, let’s not forget why He came — to bring hope, forgiveness, and new life to a waiting world.
“The very purpose of Christ’s coming into the world was that He might offer up His life as a sacrifice for the sins of men. He came to die — that is the heart of Christmas.”
— Billy Graham
As we reflect on Isaiah’s call to prepare the way for the Lord, and Jesus’ question, “Who do you say I am?”, we are reminded that this is not just a question for the first disciples—but for each of us today.
Billy Graham summed this up neatly when he said, “The greatest question of all time is: ‘Who is Jesus?’ Your answer will determine your eternal destiny.”
Did you know that even faithful followers of Jesus experience fear? However, when fear takes hold, we’re called not to retreat—but to look to the One who commands the wind and waves.
“Fear can paralyse us and keep us from believing God and stepping out in faith. The devil loves a fearful Christian” – Billy Graham.
This weekend, as we reflect on what it truly means to be the Church, Billy Graham reminds that it’s not about walls or windows – it’s about people gathered in Jesus’ name, living out His mission together.
‘Church is not a building. Church is the people who gather in the name of Jesus Christ to worship Him, serve Him, and take His message to the world.’
– Billy Graham
Remembrance Sunday is a sacred time—where silence speaks, memories echo, and honour is given. But it is also a moment to lift our eyes.
We remember not only those who gave their lives for peace—but the One who gave His life to bring us eternal peace.
In the words of Billy Graham:
‘I’ve read the last page of the Bible. It’s all going to turn out all right.’
Thought for today and everyday – In the busyness of daily life, it’s often the quiet acts of kindness, faithfulness, and grace that shine the brightest.
‘We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won’t need to tell anybody it does. Lighthouses don’t fire cannons to call attention to their shining—they just shine.‘ — D. L. Moody
This week let this quote by Eric Liddell inspire you to share the gospel with someone care about who, as yet, doesn’t know the Lord – “We are all missionaries. Wherever we go, we either bring people nearer to Christ, or we repel them from Christ.”
As we reflect on the hope we have in Christ, let’s not forget the urgency of sharing it with others — because good news is only good if it’s heard in time.
“The gospel is not good news unless it gets there in time.” — Billy Graham
