Wilberforce Foundation – December

Last Sunday’s message explored the second coming of Jesus—not through speculation or prediction, but through the lens of watchfulness, readiness, and faithful living. Drawing on Scripture, C.S. Lewis, and personal reflection, it invited our community to consider what we hope Christ might “catch” us doing if He returned today: small, everyday acts of justice, mercy, peace, and creation care. As we close out the year, we extend our gratitude to the many organisations, leaders, and scholars who make up the Wilberforce Community, and we pray that this Christmas brings each of you a fresh encounter with Emmanuel, God with us.
