This Sunday, Mike Jarvis will be bringing us a sermon titled “Better Than Nehemiah”. When Nehemiah leaves Jerusalem, the people fall back into their old ways of corruption and fail to keep the temple pure. Mike will draw a powerful comparison to Jesus as He clears the temple, reminding us that we have someone far greater who restores, purifies and never leaves.
Andy Gould will share the communion message as we come together to the foot of the cross of Christ and take communion as one body. Worship will be led by Simon Phillips and Shona Tootill of our Glasgow Church worship team, and Marie Jarvis will open our time together with a welcome and prayer.
Join us this Sunday at 10:30 am as we gather together for worship, communion and the teaching of God’s word. All are welcome to join us in person or online.
In 2026, our theme is “Walking Each Other Home”. Throughout this year we are exploring how we can help, strengthen and encourage each other on our walk with God as we go through the ups and downs, the highs and lows of life. As we walk the path together with God, through our saviour Jesus and guided by the Holy Spirit, we press on toward our goal of taking hold of our prize of eternal life in Heaven with our God. How can we help each other on this journey?
You are warmly invited to join us this Sunday as we gather together to worship, share communion, and hear from God’s word.

Scriptures To Be Shared In This Message:
- Nehemiah 13:1-31
Nehemiah 13:1-14 – Nehemiah’s Final Reforms
13 On that day the Book of Moses was read aloud in the hearing of the people and there it was found written that no Ammonite or Moabite should ever be admitted into the assembly of God, 2 because they had not met the Israelites with food and water but had hired Balaam to call a curse down on them. (Our God, however, turned the curse into a blessing.) 3 When the people heard this law, they excluded from Israel all who were of foreign descent.
4 Before this, Eliashib the priest had been put in charge of the storerooms of the house of our God. He was closely associated with Tobiah, 5 and he had provided him with a large room formerly used to store the grain offerings and incense and temple articles, and also the tithes of grain, new wine and olive oil prescribed for the Levites, musicians and gatekeepers, as well as the contributions for the priests.
6 But while all this was going on, I was not in Jerusalem, for in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I had returned to the king. Some time later I asked his permission 7 and came back to Jerusalem. Here I learned about the evil thing Eliashib had done in providing Tobiah a room in the courts of the house of God. 8 I was greatly displeased and threw all Tobiah’s household goods out of the room. 9 I gave orders to purify the rooms, and then I put back into them the equipment of the house of God, with the grain offerings and the incense.
10 I also learned that the portions assigned to the Levites had not been given to them, and that all the Levites and musicians responsible for the service had gone back to their own fields. 11 So I rebuked the officials and asked them, “Why is the house of God neglected?” Then I called them together and stationed them at their posts.
12 All Judah brought the tithes of grain, new wine and olive oil into the storerooms. 13 I put Shelemiah the priest, Zadok the scribe, and a Levite named Pedaiah in charge of the storerooms and made Hanan son of Zakkur, the son of Mattaniah, their assistant, because they were considered trustworthy. They were made responsible for distributing the supplies to their fellow Levites.
14 Remember me for this, my God, and do not blot out what I have so faithfully done for the house of my God and its services.
