Is it well with your soul?
Is it well with your soul? In a world full of suffering, uncertainty, and loss, where can we find true peace? This reflection explores faith in Christ, the power of communion, and the hope found in Jesus’ words: 'I am the resurrection and the life.' As we gather at the Lord’s Table, we are reminded of His promise of eternal life. Read on to discover how faith can bring comfort in life's trials and why the question, ‘Who is Jesus?’ is the most important one we can ask.
The Invitation
What’s the best invitation you’ve ever received? And the worst? In this reflection, we explore Jesus’ ultimate invitation - the call to the great banquet in His kingdom. Through the parable in Matthew 22, we see how some reject the call, while others joyfully accept. Will you RSVP to Christ’s invitation? Join us at Stornoway High Church as we build a community of faith, mission, and service. Watch our video to see how we live out this calling. Read more and accept the greatest invite of all!
KING
As King Charles III is crowned, we are reminded that our true sovereign is King Jesus - the King of Kings who reigns forever. The coronation ceremony highlighted the central role of Scripture, with the Bible presented as the most valuable guide for life and leadership. This reflection explores the call to serve, the wisdom found in God’s Word, and the challenge for all believers to live out the Gospel boldly. Read more on how the coronation points us to Christ, the ultimate King. Long live the King - King Jesus!
