Join us at Calvary Motherwell this Thursday at 7.30pm for a powerful Bible study in Mark 14:27–42, as we journey from the Upper Room to the Garden of Gethsemane.

This is the night of the Last Supper—where bread is broken, a new covenant is spoken, and love is poured out. It is also the night of hard truth:
“You will all fall away…”
And the night of deep prayer, where Jesus wrestles in the garden and submits to the Father’s will.

In this study we will explore:

• The meaning of the table and the cost of covenant
• Jesus’ warning to His disciples—and to us
• The loneliness, obedience, and surrender of Gethsemane
• What it means to watch and pray in moments of weakness

Come and encounter Christ not only as Saviour, but as the obedient Son, choosing the cross out of love for the world.

“Not what I will, but what You will.” (Mark 14:36)

All are welcome. Come ready to listen, reflect, and be transformed.

Between the Promise and the Crown

God had spoken. David was anointed. The old king was gone.

And yet—the kingdom was still divided.

Join us this Sunday in 2 Samuel 2 at Calvary Motherwell at 11am as Jonathan Simpson, takes us into the uncomfortable space between God’s promise and its fulfillment. David seeks the Lord before taking a single step. He moves slowly, obediently, trusting God’s timing. Meanwhile, others rush to secure power, appoint kings, and protect their own positions. What follows is not celebration—but conflict. Brothers face brothers. Pride fuels violence. Victory brings grief.

This chapter reminds us that being chosen by God does not spare us from waiting, and being right does not guarantee peace. Leadership is tested long before it is crowned. God’s will unfolds not through human force, but through humble dependence.

2 Samuel 2 confronts us with searching questions:

• Will we wait when God’s promise feels delayed?
• Will we lead with prayer instead of pressure?
• Will we trust God’s way when others choose shortcuts?

Join us as we explore a sobering and honest chapter of Scripture—one that reveals the cost of ambition, the danger of divided loyalties, and the quiet strength of faith that waits on the Lord.

Because the hardest part of obedience is often the in-between.

Back to the Basics… for 2026

Over time, the Church can unintentionally make following Jesus feel more complicated than it was ever meant to be. Rules multiply. Expectations grow. Programs expand. Yet, all too often, these additions do not deepen our faith or make it more vibrant—they simply make it heavier.

Sometimes, the most faithful step forward is actually a step back.

A return to the basics reminds us of what truly shapes a life rooted in Christ. Time spent in prayer. Time spent in Scripture. Honest confession. Faith expressed through serving others. These simple practices are not shallow or outdated—they are the solid foundations on which a living, growing faith is built.

As we move into 2026, we invite you to come back to the things that matter most. Not more noise. Not more pressure. Just a renewed focus on walking closely with God, day by day.

To support you on this journey, a weekly handout will be available over the next four weeks to encourage and guide you. Copies can be requested from office@calvarymotherwell.org.

Our prayer is that the Back to the Basics series will strengthen your walk with God, refresh your faith, and remind you that the heart of discipleship has always been beautifully simple.

We invite you to join us this Sunday at Calvary in Motherwell, the last of 2025 as we look forward to 2026
Taking out starting point in 1 Samuel 7:12 as this year closes, we pause to remember every step, every victory, every lesson.
Ebenezer. God has been faithful — and He’s not finished yet.

This has been a Year marked by God’s faithfulness.
Through challenges and triumphs, one truth remains:
“Thus far the Lord has helped us.”
As we look back with gratitude, we look forward with confidence — because the same God who carried us through will lead us on.

We are grateful for the journey and ready for what’s next.
We don’t just close the year — we mark it.
Like Samuel, we raise our Ebenezer and declare:
Thus far, the Lord has helped us.
And into the new year, we move forward in faith.

Thankful. Trusting. Moving forward.
If we’re here, it’s because God carried us.
If we’re hopeful, it’s because God is faithful.
Thus far the Lord has helped us — and the best is yet to come.

Service starts at 11am and there is a warm welcome for all.

The Abomination of Desolation — Prophecy, Purity, and Personal Revival
Join us this Thursday 23 October at Calvary Motherwell at 7.30pm for our study of this great subject.

Jesus spoke of a day when something detestable would stand in the holy place — a chilling prophecy known as the Abomination of Desolation.

For centuries, believers have wondered: What does this mean? Has it happened? Will it happen again?

This study goes deeper than timelines and symbols. We’ll explore how this ancient prophecy also speaks to a present danger — when our hearts become crowded with idols, and the sacred space meant for God is filled with self, distraction, or compromise.

Through Scripture, reflection, and worship, we’ll confront the ways we’ve allowed lesser things to occupy God’s place — and rediscover what it means to live as holy temples for His glory.

Because the real abomination isn’t just in the temple — it’s when the worshipper forgets who belongs on the throne.
