Welcome to Mossneuk News

If you were to consider the call of a minister of the gospel, and you'll know why this is particularly apt for me right now, it is easy to imagine the role as one of preservation. We call the minister, and we ask that he or she keeps things as they are, that they take on a role of executive guardion of our local tradition, and that they always, regardless of its brevity or impact, protect what already exists. Yet the New Testament paints a very different picture. Ministers of the Gospel are not conservationists; they are agents of the Spirit, ushering in the divine work of death and resurrection. This will be a hard swallow for many congregations across Scotland, hoping for a bit more of the same. Give what you always give, get what you always get. The Lord himself has called time on all of that, so i'm sorry to say. Jesus Himself declared, didnt he: “Unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain.” (John 12:24). This is

The Christian life is not a casual stroll through self-improvement; it is a narrow path of sanctification, paved by grace, stained with the blood of Christ, and marked by continual repentance. Confession, rightly understood, is not a ritual of guilt management. It is a sacred discipline of drawing near to a triune-holy God. As believers, we are called not merely to confess occasionally, but to cultivate a routine of confession that flows from a heart that fears God and longs for righteousness. God Is Holy—We Are Not One of my favourite preachers, R.C. Sproul, often reminded his congregation that the foundational problem of humanity is that we do not understand who God is and, therefore, we do not understand who we are. “The holiness of God” is not a peripheral doctrine, it is central. Isaiah, upon seeing the Lord high and lifted up, cried, “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips” (Isaiah 6:5). The closer one draws to the light, the more clearly sin is exposed. This i

In a world tangled in urgency, you can step off the flow of the current. It isn't grand. It's no trumpet of resistance. No proclamation. It's just a moment, a breath, deep and unhurried. And in that breath, you'll feel the fracture in the rhythm of the world around you, the chasm between rush and rest, between existence and being. They don’t tell you stillness is a revolution. Not the loud, marching kind. Not the sword-swinging kind. But the kind that dares to look time in the eye and say: No. You do not own me. Is hurry our master, is rushing was king? Are mornings devoured by blinking notifications? Nights haunted by the weight of undone things? To be busy seems to be important. To be exhausted seems was to make us worthy. But scripture teaches us that the soul was not built for speed. It bruises quietly, under the weight of constant doing. Now Imagine you walking slower. Tasting your coffee without distraction. Letting silence hum between your thoughts. Imagine no longer running fro

These are the rota's for July, August and September. If you have agreed to a date and need to swap, you can use the WhatsApp Group Chat, or you can email the office if you feel more comfortable doing that. Thank for supporting. It is so wonderful that you have. If you are leading the Service (Welcome/Call to Worship/Prayer/Praise) then you are opening the service with Welcoming everyone, encouraging a moment of silence, a call to worship, then a prayer of praise adoration and confession, followed by an introduction to the first two worship songs. If you are leading the intercession prayer, then you will pray after the offering and you are praying in thanks for the offering, and then praying on behalf of others. You can choose how you do this. It's entirely up to you.

The Rotas have been published for April/May/June and we hope that everyone can access. If you need to change a date, you should work this out between volunteers
