'Hear and respond to God’s call on your life to shine, not because you are the light yourself, not so everyone can congratulate you on your good deeds, but shine on the stage that is God’s world, lighting up the presence of God.'

Deacon Ali McMillan - 'Let Your Light Shine' Matthew 5:13-20 and Isaiah 58:1-12

Deacon Ali McMillan - What way will you choose? Matthew 4:1-11

‘There is no direction that is so wrong that Jesus can’t help us to turn back. Jesus meets us where we are and is revealed to us in the everyday things of life – in having our names known and, in a meal shared with friends.  Whether your heart is filled with joy, or despair today, know that Jesus is alongside you, wanting to hear your story, wanting to share in your story with you.’

Deacon Ali McMillan: 'Going in the wrong direction?' Luke 14:13-35

‘When we live together in the way described in Romans 19, putting the needs of the other above our own, it is then that we will be able to bear fruit in the world. It is then that others will look at us and see something of the Divine in us. It is then that we will be light and salt in the world – illuminating the dark places and bringing life and joy.’

'This Lent I pray that we will all choose to walk the path of discipleship, that we will choose to follow Jesus, even knowing that the way won’t be easy. We will have to carry our crosses. But as we walk, we do so with our eyes looking ahead to the cross, and beyond to a tomb that stands empty.'

Deacon Ali McMillan: “Rejoice with me”

‘You see, among all the gratitude and thanksgiving and remembering, the highest aspiration of a Church Anniversary is to say to God again, “It’s all yours”. And we are all yours. Thank you for the continuing opportunity to worship you and work with you, in this place, for all your wonderful divine purposes.’
