My testimony — Stephen Gale My faith journey began in childhood, but it has not been a straight road. There was a long season when I drifted from God and tried to carry life in my own strength. Behind the responsibilities and outward accomplishments, I struggled to find lasting peace. Returning to Jesus Christ changed the direction of my life. I accepted Him as my personal Lord and Saviour and began learning what it means to surrender—not to give up responsibility, but to sto

Prayer at ONE Church“Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving.” — Colossians 4:2 Prayer is not a performance. It is life with God—thanksgiving, worship, surrender, confession, listening, trust, and honest conversation through Jesus Christ. Our Daily Prayer ApproachONE Church morning prayers are Christ-centred and rooted in Scripture. We give thanks for what God has already done, remember who we are in Christ, surrender our plans and fears, pray for unity in

Your Story Matters A testimony does not have to be dramatic to be powerful. It is simply the truthful story of what God has done, what He is teaching you, and how Jesus Christ has met you in real life. “Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.” — Psalm 66:16 A Simple Way to Share Your Testimony 1. What life was like before this part of your story. 2. What happened or what brought you to seek God. 3. How Jesus met you in that place

Joy Belongs in the Christian Life “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine…” — Proverbs 17:22 Christian faith deals with serious things, but serious faith does not require a permanently serious face. Healthy laughter can lower walls, bring people together, and remind us that joy is also a gift. Our Rule for Christian Humour Laugh with people, never at their pain. Do not mock someone’s weakness, trauma, disability, culture, or sincere faith. Humour should make a message more

For Busy Families You do not need an hour, a classroom, or a perfect lesson plan to help your child grow in faith. Fifteen intentional minutes can become a meaningful family habit. 1. Read — 3 minutes Read a short Bible passage together. Start with Mark 10:13–16, Psalm 23, Luke 15:3–7, or Matthew 6:25–34. 2. Ask — 4 minutes Ask three simple questions: What happened? What does this show us about God? What is one thing we can do because of it? 3. Do — 5 minutes Draw a picture,

A Devotional Does Not Have to Be Complicated Set aside a short, realistic amount of time. Ten focused minutes every day can be more helpful than an hour once a month. 1. Scripture Read a short passage slowly. Write down the verse or phrase that stands out. 2. Understand Ask: What is happening here? Who is speaking? What does this reveal about God? 3. Reflect Ask: Where does this meet my life today? Is there truth to believe, something to surrender, encouragement to receive, o

When You Feel Brokenhearted “The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart…” — Psalm 34:18 Pain does not make you invisible to God. Scripture presents Him as near to the brokenhearted. When You Feel Afraid “Fear thou not; for I am with thee… I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee…” — Isaiah 41:10 When You Are Exhausted “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28 When You Feel Alone “I will never leave thee,

Do I Have to Understand Everything Before I Follow Jesus? No. The disciples themselves learned gradually. Faith is not pretending you have no questions. It is choosing to follow Christ while continuing to learn. What If I Have Walked Away From God? Come back. The story of the prodigal son in Luke 15 shows a Father who receives the returning child. Repentance means turning back toward God, not cleaning yourself up before approaching Him. What If Christians or a Church Hurt Me?

You Do Not Have to Start on Page One The Bible is a collection of books that together tell God's story. For a new Christian, beginning with Jesus can make the rest of Scripture easier to understand.

Proverbs — for practical wisdom. 5. Genesis — to understand creation, the fall, covenant, and the

Big Idea: Jesus Wants Children Close to Him “Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not…” — Mark 10:14 Some adults once tried to keep children away from Jesus because they thought He was too busy or too important. Jesus corrected them. He wanted the children to come close. That means you never have to think, “I am too young for God to care about me.” Jesus cares about your questions, your worries, your joys, your family, your friendships, and your prayers

One Body, Many Expressions ONE Church does not believe worship has to belong to one generation or one musical style. A new worship song can speak powerfully today, and a hymn sung for generations can still carry deep truth. Our worship approach will intentionally make room for both contemporary worship and historic hymns, always keeping the focus on Jesus Christ rather than musical preference. A Starter Mix Timeless hymns might include Amazing Grace, It Is Well with My Soul,

Bible Study 2 — Genesis Chapter 2Plain-English Meaning ONE Church Bible Study Main ThemeGenesis 2 brings us closer into the creation story. Genesis 1 gives the big picture; Genesis 2 focuses especially on humanity, our relationship with God, work, marriage, responsibility, and the Garden of Eden. It shows us that human beings were not created accidentally. We were created personally by God, for relationship with God, with purpose and responsibility. Genesis 2:1“Thus the heave

Abide in ChristONE Church Morning Prayer — October 8, 2026 Father, thank You for this new day and for the life we have in Jesus Christ.
