As Mark’s Gospel opens with the call to prepare the way for Jesus, we’re reminded that true change begins not with us — but with Him.
“The greatest need in the world today is the transformation of human nature. Jesus Christ is the only One who can transform, because He is the Son of God.” — Billy Graham
As we begin a new year, there’s no better place to start than with God’s Word — steady, unchanging, and full of light for the road ahead.
“A good way to begin the year is to open your Bible and close it only when you’ve found light for the day.”
— D. L. Moody
Sometimes life takes unexpected turns — things change, plans shift, and we’re left wondering what’s next. But the good news is this: God is always at work, even in the in-between. As Billy Graham once emphasised:
“God never takes away something from your life without replacing it with something better.”
— Billy Graham
He restores, He renews, and He leads us forward — just as Jesus did with Peter that morning by the fire.
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.’
