What’s on this week?
Tonight at Calvary Chapel Secret Harbour – 6:00 PM
Join us this evening as we celebrate the Lord’s Supper together. We also begin a new study series in the book of 2 Corinthians with Pastor Israel teaching – “Comfort in Suffering!” Don’t miss this powerful and timely journey through God’s Word. Calvary Women – It was such a blessing to see the women of Calvary gather Tuesday morning for their special Bible study and fellowship time. What a joy to witness godly women finding comfort through the teaching of God’s Word, mutual encouragement, and becoming a great blessing to the body of Christ here at CCSH. The 26th August is your next study date!
Men’s Ministry – Serving Opportunities – Men, if you’d like to be part of the greeting, ushering, security, or communion serving teams, please see one of the pastors with your details so we can add you to the roster. It’s a wonderful opportunity to serve the Lord and your church family.
Midweek Discipleship & Prayer – Our Wednesday evening Bible study and prayer group continues faithfully, even through one of the coldest Julys on record. Prayer is the Church’s lifeblood. As we gather each week seeking the Lord in prayer, He uses CCSH as His instrument in these Last Days. The full fruit of our corporate prayer may only be seen when we are with the Lord—which we believe will be soon. Until then, let us continue to give ourselves to His work in our nation and beyond.
A Note on Worship
As we come together in worship each time we gather, let us be mindful of one another. May our hearts be fully fixed on the Lord, and may our actions never distract others around us from encountering Him nor draw attention to ourselves. We worship as the body of Christ—together, in unity.
“Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another.”
– Romans 12:10
”For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.”
– Galatians 5:13
Helen’s Heart
Great is Your faithfulness – Lamentations 3:23
You may be going through one of the most difficult times in your life. In this you may feel desperately alone, wondering when this time will ever end. When you don’t fathom why, when you don’t have a clue as to when – He understands, He knows. He is sovereign. Our faithful caring Lord will see you through this. May His love and peace be upon you.

From the Pastor’s Pen
1 Timothy 3:1–13 – ‘God’s Blueprint for Leadership and the Family’ – ”This is a faithful saying: If a man desires the position of a bishop, he desires a good work…” – 1 Timothy 3:1 Paul’s instruction to Timothy outlines more than just church leadership qualifications—it reveals God’s design for family life as the foundation for spiritual leadership. A bishop must be blameless, faithful to his wife, self-controlled, hospitable, and able to teach. But Paul stresses private faithfulness even more than public gifting—especially within the home. A man must lead his household well, with children who respect him—because if his home is out of order, how can he lead God’s Church? Leadership in God’s house includes the wife too (v.11)—she must be reverent, self-controlled, faithful, and not a slanderer. God’s call to ministry is not individualistic—it is a family call.
Today, many treat marriage as separate lives under one roof—”his ministry, her life.” But in Scripture, we see couples like Noah and his family, Abraham and Sarah, Timothy’s mother and grandmother—all united in faith and purpose.
Sadly, some couples begin with shared passion for God, only to drift into separate spiritual lives. But true leadership reflects unity—husband and wife walking and serving together in step with God. Pastor Thom Whitaker once wisely advised a couple against marriage because the man was clearly called, but the woman lacked the same heart for service. He knew such disunity would not stand in ministry. God calls men to lead—but He also calls their wives and families to walk beside them. A godly marriage serves together, supports one another, and models Christ’s love to the Church. Ask yourself: “Are we serving God together, or separately? Is our home marked by prayer, discipleship, and hospitality? Are we modelling godly leadership to our children?” “The strength of a man’s ministry is revealed in the health of his marriage.” Prayer: ‘Lord, thank You for Your design for family and leadership. Strengthen our marriages to reflect Your unity and love. Help us to serve You together, building homes that honour You and leave a legacy of faith. Amen.’
Quote of the week
“It costs something to be a true Christian. Let that never be forgotten. To be a mere nominal Christian, and go to church, is cheap and easy work. But to hear Christ’s voice, follow Christ, believe in Christ, confess Christ, requires much self-denial.” –
“All the powers of the world cannot take away my life, until God permits. All the physicians of earth cannot preserve it, when God calls me away.” – J.C. RYLE
