The Christian life is a marathon, not a sprint. You’ll start strong and confident, but mile twenty brings exhaustion and the urge to quit. Yet ahead, you see another runner—steady, unhurried, still moving forward. If they can continue, so can you. Life throws changing seasons at you: joy and heartbreak, success and failure. These aren’t signs you’ve failed; they’re part of walking with God through real life. Christ has walked this path first—through rejection, misunderstanding, loneliness, even death. So you don’t continue alone. His strength holds you when yours runs thin. Don’t quit. Keep going.
Readings:
Colossians 2:1-7 – Paul speaks of his struggle for believers and their faith, encouraging them to be rooted and built up in Christ, established in faith and abounding in thanksgiving.
John 15:9-12 – Jesus commands his disciples: “Abide in my love. Love one another as I have loved you.”

The Second Cup
Sam Monaghan, CEO of Methodist Homes, marks 83 years of a charity born from Methodist compassion and social justice. The sermon explores what happens when we lose life’s crucial connections. As we age, people drift away, through moves, arguments, illness, or death. Many end up alone and invisible. Jesus’ parable of the great dinner shows God’s radical inclusion: the master invites those on the roads and margins, not the worthy and elite. Every person deserves to be seen. Every person has value. Every person belongs.
Readings:
Romans 12:5 (Call to Worship) – In Christ, though we are many, we form one body and each member belongs to all the others.
Luke 14:15-23 – The Parable of the Great Dinner. Jesus tells of a master who invites guests to a great banquet. When the first guests make excuses, the master tells his servant to “go out into the roads and lanes and compel people to come in, so that my house may be filled.”

Called by Grace, Carried by Mercy
Revd. Adam explores what it means to be “located” by God’s grace. Through the story of Matthew the tax collector, you discover that being despised by society doesn’t make you invisible to God. Jesus actively searches for those on the margins, those forgotten and ignored. Matthew was seen as a collaborator with Rome, a social outcast, yet Jesus chose him. The sermon challenges you to recognise that God’s grace works like a magnet, seeking out those overlooked by community and family. When you feel unnoticed, uncared for, unworthy—God has already found you. That’s God’s nature: to locate the forgotten and draw them into love and belonging.
