Matthew 26:36-36 — “O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.” In this sermon we reflect on Jesus’ agony in the Garden of Gethsemane. We think about His prayer to His Father and what it says about Him and about His…
I Samuel 3:1-10 — The call of Samuel while he was child in the Tabernacle is a familiar and much-loved story. In this sermon we reflect on his call and we find encouragement for these difficult days and an example for us to follow. There is also an exhortation to respond to the Word of the…
Judges 6:1-24 — In this sermon we consider the call of Gideon and as we do, we discover a person most of us can identify with. We also find some encouragement for our Christian life. This message was given on the occasion of Father’s Day so there are particular applications for fathers the things they struggle…

These commands were practical applications of the charge to love one’s neighbour. When we reflect on what God said,…
Deuteronomy 25:13-16 — “Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small.” In this sermon we consider some laws in the Old Testament that were intended to ensure that God’s people were honest and fair in the business dealings. We trace the principle through to the New Testament and we see…
Luke 15:11-32 — “And he said, A certain man had two sons…” Jesus’ Parable of the Prodigal Son is perhaps the famous parable He gave.

Luke 15:1-10 — “The Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.” This sermon covers the Parable of the Lost Sheep and the Parable of the Lost Coin.
