As the Church of Scotland in Bellshill we extend a warm welcome to any of our activities. People have been coming to this building to worship God for over a hundred years. While our town has journeyed through many changes over those years, the constancy of the witness of the “Church at 346 Main Street” has remained uninterrupted. The mission of any Church is to reflect through its presence, its music, its fellowship and its beauty the greatness of God, and we seek to do that here in all that we share. We hope that everyone who enters these doors will find an encouraging, friendly group of people. While we are far from perfect, we are regularly discovering truths that are changing us individually and enriching our lives as a church community. As we worship together, learn from the Bible, and pray for one another, we are strengthened in our commitment to Jesus Christ as well as to each other. If this is your first time here, we welcome you, and invite you to share the joy that we have found.

THE STORMS OF LIFE

7 # Short Commentary and Lesson from Psalm 29.3-9

Through the centuries, people have responded to God in the beauties of nature. The smoldering glory of a sunset, the delicacy of a rose, and the chuckle of a crystal brook dancing over rocks leave many in awe of God’s power.
But what should we think about the brutal force of hurricane winds, splintering everything in their path? Timid souls run and hide from God’s power. Those with the courage of the psalmist watch the lightning split the night, and marvel that such a powerful God hears our prayers and rejoices in our praise.

OUR SHEPHERD FRIEND

6 # Short Commentary and Lesson from Psalm 23.1-6

This song in Psalm 23 mends our broken hearts after reading Psalm 22, though that psalm is an important part of God’s message to us.
As Christians, we can consider it an honor to be a partner with Christ in his suffering. But afterward, it is comforting to “rest in fields of green grass,” and to be led to “streams of peaceful water.”
our shepherd – Jesus – leads us and refreshes our lives. We are given the wonderful promise: “I will live forever in your house.”
