Worship at Home Service 4 January 2026

Описание: Welcome to this Worship at Home service on behalf of Christ Church, Sandown, and St Paul's, Shanklin, Isle of Wight.

Today's service, hosted by Mark, includes worship songs, prayers and readings from the Bible.

As we step into a new year, Scripture invites us to reflect on what truly lasts.

In this sermon from 2 Samuel 23:1–7, we listen to the final recorded words of King David — words not of self-justification, but of praise, repentance, and covenant hope. David looks back over a life marked by faith and failure, and he points us forward to a righteous King whose throne will endure forever.

This message explores:

What David’s last words reveal about a godly legacy

Why our hope cannot rest in personal achievement or moral performance

How God’s everlasting covenant with David is fulfilled in Jesus Christ

The certainty of Christ’s kingdom in an uncertain world

Two destinies under the King: salvation or judgment

As one year ends and another begins, we are reminded that the only legacy that lasts is not what we build for ourselves, but what God accomplishes by His grace.

“The old has passed away — yet what God brings is more real, more beautiful, and more glorious.”
