Welcome to our service today. It is great to have you here and we would love to invite you to stay after the service and join us for morning tea.
Honouring one another is a quiet but powerful expression of Christ’s love at work within us. In Romans 12:10, we are urged to “be devoted to one another in love” and to “honour one another above yourselves.” This kind of honour is not about flattery or outward politeness – it is about genuinely valuing others as image-bearers of God.
Jesus modelled this perfectly. He honoured the overlooked, the broken, and even those who would fail Him. He washed His disciples’ feet, demonstrating that honour often looks like humility and service. When we choose to honour others, we lay down pride and self-interest, making space for grace, patience, and kindness to grow.
Honouring one another means listening before speaking, encouraging instead of criticising, and choosing unity over division. It is a daily decision to see people not for their flaws, but for their worth in God’s eyes.
In a world that often elevates self-promotion, the Christian call is different. We are invited to lift others up. As we do, we reflect the heart of Christ and build a community marked by love.
With love & blessings,
Sandra
