Sunday Focus

3rd May 2026

Welcome to this weeks Sunday Focus, we pray you will be blessed.

Hymn - Christ is made the sure foundation

Song - Rock of Ages

In your presence, Lord Jesus,
We stop from all our busyness
And wait.
We wait for your gentle, 
Soothing touch
To reassure us
And strengthen us.
We wait for your breath
To fill and inspire us.

We wait for your voice
To speak to our deepest needs.
In the waiting
You have drawn even closer, Lord
And in the silence
You reach out
To offer forgiveness.

Make this moment
A new beginning with you.

Lord Jesus,
We thank you for your patience
Which never gives up on us
Even when we repeatedly
Let you down.

Give us the courage 
To live in the hope
You continually hold out to us.
And help us to glorify your name
In all we say and do.
Amen
 

Song -  All my Days

Reading:

John 14:1-14

‘Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house there are many dwelling-places. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, so that where I am, there you may be also. And you know the way to the place where I am going.’ Thomas said to him, ‘Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?’ Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you know me, you will know my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.’

Philip said to him, ‘Lord, show us the Father, and we will be satisfied.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still do not know me? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, “Show us the Father”? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own; but the Father who dwells in me does his works. Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; but if you do not, then believe me because of the works themselves. Very truly, I tell you, the one who believes in me will also do the works that I do and, in fact, will do greater works than these, because I am going to the Father. I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If in my name you ask me for anything, I will do it.

Song - John 14:1-4

The Lord's Prayer
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power,
and the glory are yours
now and for ever.
Amen. 

Song -  Cornerstone

In Christ we share life –
Life in all its fullness.
Go to find that life:
To be that life:
To live that life
And to offer it to others.
So may you know the blessing
Of God the Father,
Jesus, God’s Son
And of the Holy Spirit
This and every day.
Amen
