Before the fire fell at Pentecost, before the Church was born, before power was poured out—there was a waiting room.

We invite you to join us on our journey “From Easter to Pentecost” at Calvary Motherwell this Thursday 7 May at 7.30pm

Discover how the first believers turned waiting into:

• Expectation – trusting God is working even when we can’t see it
• Devotion – continuing steadfastly in prayer
• Unity – waiting together, not drifting apart
• Obedience – staying where God has placed you until He moves
• Readiness – positioned for the moment God fulfils His promise  

We often:

• Rush ahead of God
• Grow weary in the delay
• Or waste the waiting season

“The promise is God’s to give—but the posture of waiting is ours to choose.”

Come and learn how to:  Wait with faith. Wait with focus. Wait for power.

Because what God does after the waiting often depends on how we wait in it.

HOW DO YOU FIND PEACE WHEN LIFE WON’T SLOW DOWN?

Everyone’s looking for peace…
But most of what the world offers is temporary, fragile, and easily shaken.

Jesus promised something radically different:
“My peace I give to you… not as the world gives.”

Join us for a dynamic and practical Bible study exploring:

• Why Jesus’ peace is different from everything else
• What blocks us from experiencing it
• How to actually receive and live in His peace daily
• How to stand steady when life feels anything but peaceful

This isn’t theory—it’s truth you can live in.

Calvary Christian Fellowship, Motherwell this Thursday (30 April) at 7.30pm
Come and discover a peace that holds, even when life doesn’t.

All welcome – bring a friend!

CALLED. COMPELLED. COMMISSIONED.

What if the final words of Jesus were meant to become the first priority of your life?

Join us Thursday ay 7.30pm at Calvary Motherwell for a dynamic, life-shaping Bible study in the Great Commission from Matthew 28:19–20 — where faith moves from sitting to sending, from knowing to going.

Discover your role in God’s global plan
Rekindle your passion for reaching others
Be equipped to share Christ with confidence
Step into the mission you were made for

This is more than a study…
It’s a call to action.

Whether you’re new to faith or have walked with Christ for years—this will challenge, inspire, and mobilise you.

Don’t just hear the Word—LIVE it.

“Go therefore…” isn’t a suggestion—it’s your commission.

All welcome!

We’re  back: Thursday 9 April at Calvary Motherwell at 7.30pm

FROM EASTER TO PENTECOST
An 8-Part Journey of Power, Presence & Promise

The cross is not the end.
The empty tomb is just the beginning.

Join us as we trace the risen Christ—
from resurrection morning to the rushing wind of Pentecost.

Discover hope that rises
Faith that stands
Power that transforms

Don’t just celebrate Easter… walk in its power.

 
The Spirit came. The Church was born. Be part of the story.

 
A Journey of Hope, Renewal, and Power

Come and explore what happened after the resurrection—
when fear turned to faith,
doubt turned to boldness,
and ordinary people changed the world.

8 Thursdays that could change everything.

THE STONE WAS ROLLED AWAY…BUT THE STORY WAS JUST BEGINNING

Not just history—
but a living, breathing power for today.

The same Spirit that fell then…is still moving now.

Come and see. Come and be changed.

This Thursday 12 February at Calvary Motherwell at 7.30pm

Mark 14:66–72: “Before the Rooster Crowed”

While Jesus stands firm before the council above, another trial is unfolding below — not in a courtroom, but by a fire in the courtyard.

This is the moment Peter swore he would never face… and then did.

In this study we will walk through Peter’s three denials — not to condemn him, but to recognise ourselves in him. Fear, confusion, pressure, self-preservation — all collide in the cold light of dawn.

We will reflect on:

• How courage can crumble under quiet pressure
• Why Peter’s fall happens so quickly and so completely
• The contrast between Jesus’ faithfulness and Peter’s fear
• The look of Jesus — and the sound of the rooster
• Where repentance begins, and how grace is already waiting

“And when he thought about it, he wept.” (Mark 14:72)

This is a study for anyone who has promised more than they delivered…
for anyone who has failed the Lord they love…
and for anyone who needs to know that failure is not the end of the story.

All warmly welcome to join us for an evening in the Word

Join us at Calvary Motherwell this Thursday at 7.30pm for a powerful Bible study in Mark 14:27–42, as we journey from the Upper Room to the Garden of Gethsemane.

This is the night of the Last Supper—where bread is broken, a new covenant is spoken, and love is poured out. It is also the night of hard truth:
“You will all fall away…”
And the night of deep prayer, where Jesus wrestles in the garden and submits to the Father’s will.

In this study we will explore:

• The meaning of the table and the cost of covenant
• Jesus’ warning to His disciples—and to us
• The loneliness, obedience, and surrender of Gethsemane
• What it means to watch and pray in moments of weakness

Come and encounter Christ not only as Saviour, but as the obedient Son, choosing the cross out of love for the world.

“Not what I will, but what You will.” (Mark 14:36)

All are welcome. Come ready to listen, reflect, and be transformed.

Between the Promise and the Crown

God had spoken. David was anointed. The old king was gone.

And yet—the kingdom was still divided.

Join us this Sunday in 2 Samuel 2 at Calvary Motherwell at 11am as Jonathan Simpson, takes us into the uncomfortable space between God’s promise and its fulfillment. David seeks the Lord before taking a single step. He moves slowly, obediently, trusting God’s timing. Meanwhile, others rush to secure power, appoint kings, and protect their own positions. What follows is not celebration—but conflict. Brothers face brothers. Pride fuels violence. Victory brings grief.

This chapter reminds us that being chosen by God does not spare us from waiting, and being right does not guarantee peace. Leadership is tested long before it is crowned. God’s will unfolds not through human force, but through humble dependence.

2 Samuel 2 confronts us with searching questions:

• Will we wait when God’s promise feels delayed?
• Will we lead with prayer instead of pressure?
• Will we trust God’s way when others choose shortcuts?

Join us as we explore a sobering and honest chapter of Scripture—one that reveals the cost of ambition, the danger of divided loyalties, and the quiet strength of faith that waits on the Lord.

Because the hardest part of obedience is often the in-between.

Back to the Basics… for 2026

Over time, the Church can unintentionally make following Jesus feel more complicated than it was ever meant to be. Rules multiply. Expectations grow. Programs expand. Yet, all too often, these additions do not deepen our faith or make it more vibrant—they simply make it heavier.

Sometimes, the most faithful step forward is actually a step back.

A return to the basics reminds us of what truly shapes a life rooted in Christ. Time spent in prayer. Time spent in Scripture. Honest confession. Faith expressed through serving others. These simple practices are not shallow or outdated—they are the solid foundations on which a living, growing faith is built.

As we move into 2026, we invite you to come back to the things that matter most. Not more noise. Not more pressure. Just a renewed focus on walking closely with God, day by day.

To support you on this journey, a weekly handout will be available over the next four weeks to encourage and guide you. Copies can be requested from office@calvarymotherwell.org.

Our prayer is that the Back to the Basics series will strengthen your walk with God, refresh your faith, and remind you that the heart of discipleship has always been beautifully simple.

We invite you to join us this Sunday at Calvary in Motherwell, the last of 2025 as we look forward to 2026
Taking out starting point in 1 Samuel 7:12 as this year closes, we pause to remember every step, every victory, every lesson.
Ebenezer. God has been faithful — and He’s not finished yet.

This has been a Year marked by God’s faithfulness.
Through challenges and triumphs, one truth remains:
“Thus far the Lord has helped us.”
As we look back with gratitude, we look forward with confidence — because the same God who carried us through will lead us on.

We are grateful for the journey and ready for what’s next.
We don’t just close the year — we mark it.
Like Samuel, we raise our Ebenezer and declare:
Thus far, the Lord has helped us.
And into the new year, we move forward in faith.

Thankful. Trusting. Moving forward.
If we’re here, it’s because God carried us.
If we’re hopeful, it’s because God is faithful.
Thus far the Lord has helped us — and the best is yet to come.

Service starts at 11am and there is a warm welcome for all.
