25 JANUARY 2026 (JOHN 3:1-21)

Описание: Welcome to worship from St Andrew’s in the Grange, Church of Scotland, a progressive and inclusive community in the heart of Guernsey.

This service, recorded on Sunday 25 January 2026, reflects on John chapter 3 verses 1 to 21, the night-time conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus. It is a rich and challenging passage that speaks about being born from above, light and darkness, and the deep human struggle with change, vulnerability and truth.

In this sermon, Rev Justin Taylor explores how this encounter is not about religious certainty or having the correct answers, but about what happens when we are gently invited to move from the shadows into the light. Nicodemus comes with questions, caution and curiosity, and Jesus meets him not with condemnation, but with an invitation to transformation that is costly, unsettling and profoundly hopeful.

Rather than focusing on belief as a test or threshold, this reflection looks at how fear, shame and self-protection can keep us stuck, and how love calls us toward honesty, courage and new life. It asks what it might mean for us, personally and as a community, to risk change and to trust that light is not something to fear, but something that heals.

If you are looking for faith that is thoughtful, spacious and attentive to the realities of human experience, this service offers room to pause, reflect and listen for what might be stirring within you.
