This Palm Sunday (13 April) at 11am at Calvary Motherwell.

Imagine the atmosphere in Jerusalem—the city is buzzing with excitement. Crowds flood the streets as Passover approaches, and the air is filled with anticipation. Then, suddenly, a ripple of movement spreads through the city.

“He’s coming!” someone shouts.

People rush to the gates, pushing past each other, eager to catch a glimpse of the man who raised the dead, healed the blind, and calmed storms with a word.

But then… a strange sight.

Not a mighty war horse. Not a golden chariot.

Instead, a man on a donkey.

This is not the entrance of a conquering king. Or is it?

Today, we step into this moment—the Triumphal Entry—and discover that Jesus’ choice of a donkey wasn’t weakness; it was a declaration. A declaration of a King who defies expectations, a King who rules not by force, but by humility, peace, and sacrifice.

We’ll be looking at Matthew 21:1-5 and see what this moment truly means for us today. All welcome!

Judges 17-18: When Everyone Did What Was Right in Their Own Eyes

What happens when a nation turns away from God? Judges 17-18 is a gripping tale of idolatry, deception, and stolen blessings—a sobering reminder of what happens when people replace God’s truth with their own desires.

🔹 A man named Micah creates his own false religion—but what happens when it’s taken from him?
🔹 The Danites, instead of trusting God, steal, conquer, and corrupt what was never theirs.
🔹 A wandering Levite trades faith for personal gain, leading an entire tribe into generations of idolatry.

“In those days, Israel had no king; everyone did what was right in their own eyes.” – Judges 17:6

👉 This is not just ancient history—it’s a warning. When we place self-interest above God’s will, the consequences ripple for generations.

🔹 Are we worshipping God, or just what makes us feel comfortable?
🔹 Are we seeking truth, or simply following the crowd?

Join us at Calvary Motherwell today at 11am as we dive into Judges 17-18 today and discover the dangers of misplaced devotion.

Mark 9:38-40 – The Power of Unity in Christ

The disciples saw someone casting out demons in Jesus’ name—and they tried to stop him. Why? Because he wasn’t part of their group. But Jesus responded with a powerful truth:

“Do not stop him… For whoever is not against us is for us.” – Mark 9:39-40

🔥 Faith is not about exclusivity—it’s about unity in Christ.
🔥 God’s kingdom is bigger than our personal circles.
🔥 When Jesus’ name is lifted up, His power moves, no matter who is speaking.

💡 Are we building walls where God is building bridges?
💡 Are we celebrating His work, even when it happens outside our expectations?

👉 Read Mark 9:38-40 and discover the power of kingdom-minded faith!

Join us for a great study in this passage of Mark 9. All welcome!

“Who Do You Say That I Am?” – A Life-Changing Question

In Mark 8:27-30, Jesus asks His disciples a question that still echoes today: “Who do you say that I am?”

Some called Him John the Baptist. Others said Elijah. But Peter declared the truth—”You are the Christ.”

This moment at Caesarea Philippi wasn’t just a conversation; it was a turning point. Jesus wasn’t looking for public opinion—He was seeking a personal response.

So, what about you? Who do YOU say Jesus is?

Discover the truth. Encounter the Christ. Your answer changes everything.

Join us this Thursday 6 February at Calvary Motherwell at 7.30pm. All welcome.

“Eyes Opened, Vision Restored”

Imagine seeing the world in blurry shapes and shadows—unable to distinguish the details, colours, and beauty of the people and places around you.

Now, imagine someone gently leading you by the hand, restoring your sight step by step until everything comes into perfect focus.

That’s the picture we find in Mark 8:22-26, a story not just of physical healing but of spiritual transformation.

In this passage, Jesus performs a miracle unlike any other recorded in the Gospels. A blind man is brought to Him in Bethsaida, and instead of healing him instantly, Jesus chooses a two-step process.

The man’s vision is partially restored before Jesus touches him again, bringing complete clarity.

This passage invites us to consider our own spiritual vision. Are we seeing Jesus clearly, or are we still viewing Him through the fog of incomplete understanding?

All welcome to join us for our in-depth, forensic study of Mark 8

“Mark 8:10-13: Seeking Signs or Seeking Faith?”

In this thought-provoking passage, Jesus confronts the Pharisees’ demand for a sign. It’s a challenge that resonates today:

Are we seeking proof or trusting His promises?
Learn from Jesus’ response: Faith isn’t built on signs but on a deep relationship with God.
Discover the truth: God’s work is found in His presence and purpose for your life.

This short yet powerful moment in Mark’s Gospel invites us to examine our hearts. Are we open to trusting God, even when the signs aren’t clear?

Join with us tonight at Calvary in Motherwell at 7.30pm as we dive into Mark 8:10-13 and be inspired to grow in faith, not just in sight.

“Faithful God, Flawed People: Lessons from the Book of Judges”

The Book of Judges is a powerful story of cycles: triumphs and failures, faith and rebellion, sin and redemption. Through the lives of Deborah, Gideon, Samson, and others, we see how God works through ordinary, imperfect people to accomplish extraordinary things.

Join us this Sunday (12 January) at Calvary Motherwell at 11am as we dive into this fascinating book that reveals God’s unwavering faithfulness even in times of chaos and spiritual drift. Together, we’ll uncover timeless lessons about leadership, obedience, and the hope found in God’s deliverance.

Discover how the challenges of ancient Israel mirror our own, and how God’s call to live faithfully still speaks today.
