A Message from Deniz
15th January 2026
There is an expectation sometimes that the New Year may bring new and more positive changes into our lives, more than at any other time of the year. So far, the New Year hasn’t brought any spectacular, supernatural solutions to the ongoing world-wide problems. Most probably our personal challenges still remain. Reminding ourselves of the truth of the Gospel puts everything into perspective and enables us to reflect on the reason why we live. The truth of the Gospel is and always will be our source of hope in all circumstances.
In her poem, ‘“Hope” is the thing with Feathers’, Emily Dickinson wrote:
“Hope” is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops - at all
The apostles Paul writes in Romans 8:
“For in hope, we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, through perseverance we wait eagerly for it.”
May you be filled with HOPE and JOY as you choose Jesus.
