This week’s readings ask what happens when God calls—and we are impatient, distracted or rather busy with something else.
In Exodus 32:1–14, the Israelites tire of waiting for Moses and make a golden calf. Something visible and manageable feels safer than trusting God. Our own idols may be less shiny: money, success, control or the comforting belief that we are always right.
Psalm 106:1–6, 19–23 remembers this failure honestly, alongside God’s enduring mercy. Moses stands in the breach for his people. Faithfulness includes praying for others when criticism would come more easily.
In Philippians 4:1–9, Paul calls a divided community towards reconciliation, gentleness, prayer and thanksgiving. Peace grows through what we attend to and practise. There is a useful challenge here for our conversations—and our WhatsApp groups.
Matthew 22:1–14 offers a feast with a wide invitation and a disturbing ending. One way to understand the wedding garment is as a reminder that accepting God’s welcome also means allowing grace to change us. Discipleship asks more than attendance.
At Christ Church, we gather around God’s table so that we may learn to live differently beyond it.
This week, choose one response: mend a strained relationship, pray before reacting, or make room for someone easily overlooked. Let God’s invitation become visible in your life.

Join us at Christ Church! Whether you are new, returning, or have been with us for years, this is the perfect opportunity to reconnect, worship, and celebrate all that God is doing in our community. Experience powerful worship, an inspiring message, and the warmth of fellowship as we gather to grow in faith and unity.
We can’t wait to welcome you home and live out Love at the Core.
We are an oasis of hope, healing, and joy.
We fundamentally believe that joy is at the heart of the Gospel,
the good news of Jesus Christ.
We exist to introduce (or re-introduce) you to Jesus and invite you to join us as we walk together as disciples in community.

God of love,
source of mercy and compassion,
weave your dream for the world
into the fabric of our lives.
Remove the scales from our eyes
and lift the indifference from our hearts,
so that we may see your vision –
a new reign of justice and compassion
that will renew the earth.
Transform our lives,
so that we may accomplish your purpose.
Anoint us with your spirit of love
that we might bring good news to the oppressed,
bind up the brokenhearted,
and proclaim release to the captive.
Give us a new urgency
and a new commitment
to feed the hungry,
clothe the naked,
shelter the homeless,
and visit those who live in isolation.
Help us to reach out to those
whom no one else will touch,
to accept the unacceptable,
and to embrace the enemy.
Surround us with your love,
fill us with your grace,
and strengthen us for your service.
Empower us to respond to the call of Jesus –
to deny ourselves,
to take up our crosses,
and to follow.
Make us your disciples.
Amen
