It's that Sunday again...

I usually preach in my home church on the first Sunday of every new year. It's become kind of a "fixture" and it's a time when I check in with God to ask Him for a challenge, encouragement or "thought for the year" to pass on to the folks in Falkirk. With last Sunday being New Year's Day, I've been given the second Sunday of the new year this time. Today my message to the adults was about faith: the fact that faith comes from hearing and not from seeing. And my message to the children was a jungle doctor story about a hippo: a reminder that the Bible, like a mirror, shows us what we are really like and how we can change for the better.
