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.

Wednesday Wisdom – Lent Week Four

by Bellshill Central, posted in Lent 2026

Bible Reading

John 4:13–14
Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

Lent invites us to pause and reflect on the things that truly satisfy our souls. Much of life can feel like an endless search for fulfilment—work, possessions, success, or recognition. Yet again and again we discover that these things, while good in themselves, never fully quench our deeper spiritual thirst.

In this encounter with the Samaritan woman, Jesus speaks about living water—a life and hope that comes directly from God. It is not something we earn or achieve; it is a gift we receive. Christ offers a well of grace within us, a steady source of renewal that sustains us even in difficult seasons.

Week four of Lent often marks the point where the journey begins to feel long. Perhaps our enthusiasm fades or the disciplines we set for ourselves become harder to keep. Yet this is precisely when Christ reminds us that faith is not sustained by our own strength alone. God’s grace flows toward us continually.

Today is an opportunity to pause, breathe, and draw again from that living water. Spend a moment with God, remembering that you do not walk this Lenten path alone. The One who calls you is also the One who refreshes you.

Prayer

Loving God,
in the busyness of life we often become thirsty for meaning, hope, and peace.
Help us to come again to Christ, the source of living water.
Refresh our hearts, renew our faith,
and guide us as we continue this Lenten journey.
May your Spirit flow within us and through us,
bringing life to the world around us.
Amen.
