We’re back! This Thursday at Calvary Motherwell at 7.30pm, we resume our in-depth/forensic study of Mark’s Gospel and this week… “Murder in the Vineyard”: A vineyard. A violent rebellion. A son sent with hope.

“Rejected Stone, Risen Cornerstone – Mark 12:1–12”

In Mark 12:1–12, Jesus tells a parable so powerful, so direct, that His listeners wanted Him silenced. But the truth couldn’t be buried.

This study will take you straight into one of Jesus’ most provocative parables—a story about God’s patient love, human resistance, and the unshakeable victory of Christ, the stone the builders rejected.

What does this parable reveal about God’s heart?

 Why did Jesus use such sharp imagery right before the cross?
And what does it mean today to receive—and not reject—the Son?

Come ready to explore a story that confronts and transforms.
The vineyard is God’s. The Son has come. How will we respond?

All welcome. Bring your Bible, your questions, and an open heart.

Running with Purpose: God’s Protection in 1 Samuel 19”
When the spears keep flying, is God still in control?

In 1 Samuel 19, Saul’s obsession with killing David reaches a breaking point. Betrayal brews in the palace, David flees for his life, and yet—God intervenes in powerful, unexpected ways.

This chapter isn’t just about escape. It’s about how God preserves His purpose, even when everything seems to be falling apart.

Join us as we uncover:

• Why divine calling doesn’t guarantee an easy path
• How God uses unlikely people to protect His anointed
• What it means to keep moving when you’re under attack

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing the right thing but everything’s going wrong—this study is for you.

The enemy may chase you, but God still covers you.

We invite you to join us at Calvary Motherwell at 11 am this Sunday (3 August) as Jonathan Simpson takes us through this challenging chapter.

This Sunday, 27 July, at Calvary Motherwell at 11am
Victory can bring applause—but it can also attract enemies.

In 1 Samuel 18, David moves from battlefield hero to hunted man. Saul’s jealousy ignites. Spears fly. Yet amid the chaos, true friendship is forged, and God’s presence remains unshaken.

Join us as we dive into a chapter packed with royal tension, divine favour, and heart-level lessons about loyalty, calling, and spiritual resilience. Discover what it means to carry God’s anointing when the world wants to bring you down.

Come ready to explore:

• What happens when your success stirs up someone else’s fear?
• How do you respond when someone throws spears at your calling?
• Can friendship thrive in a battlefield of envy?

You’ve read about David and Goliath—now meet David and Saul. The real war is just beginning.

All welcome!

“GIANTS STILL FALL”
Step into the Valley of Elah and witness a battle that changed history. In 1 Samuel 17, a young shepherd takes on a giant—but this is more than a story of courage. It’s a powerful reminder that with faith in God, no obstacle is too big.
Join us at Calvary Motherwell this Sunday at 11am as Jonathan Simpson takes us for this study as we explore how faith defeats fear, how God equips the unlikely, and how your giants can fall too.

All welcome!
