Gold Hill Baptist Church Sermons

"Holding on" - Malcolm Duncan speaking at the evening service. Outline: Even when the toughest circumstances prompt us to turn away from God and perhaps even lose our faith, God continues to hold on to us: nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus!

Advent - 2: "Love" Love permeates every aspect of the Christmas story and as we prepare to celebrate the birth of our Saviour, we are prompted to love those around us, not only in this season but through the entire year. What does it actually mean to love others as ourselves, and as God loved us?!

"New Life in Christ" Malcolm Duncan speaking about the new life that is available to all who trust in Jesus... how we can experience the fullness of life which God has prepared for each of us and how that impacts our everyday living as we discover His plan, purpose and provision for all belivers.

Advent - 1 "Hope" Malcolm Duncan embarking upon our Advent preaching series, looking firstly at Hope. As we begin to consider the events around Jesus’ birth and the significance of God breaking into history in this remarkable manner, we can celebrate the hope that He brings us both here and now, and looking forward to his return when God will renew his creation.

"The Liberating Power of Forgiveness" Malcolm Duncan considering the freedom which results from both forgiving and being forgiven. Forgiving others can be one of the most difficult things for human beings to do, and yet refusing to forgive causes us deep emotional pain, and allows sadness and anger to take deep root in our hearts. If Jesus’ words on the cross were ‘Father, forgive them for they know not what they do’, then surely we as his disciples need to follow suit.

The Sun of Righteousness Will Rise with Healing in his Wings" Stephen Walker-Williams focusing on Malachi 4:2, celebrating that Jesus has come, has risen and has indeed brought hope and healing to mankind as foretold.

"Songs for Life - Encountering God in Worship, Praise and Prayer" Malcolm Duncan concluding the series covering the entire Old Testament with Psalms - a collection of writings from different authors over 900 years, written in varied styles and expressing everything from praise, delight and worship of God, to despair and anger towards Him…..the whole range of the human state of mind and heart!

God's Great Purpose in the World (37) Malcolm Duncan looking at the last book of the Old Testament: Malachi. Malachi was concerned to know that the hearts of the Jews were right and that they were keeping God first in their lives. He reminds the Israelites and us today that God is not pleased when we disobey His commands, that He will return and will be the judge, but that if we return to Him he will return to us.

"Restoration" Malcolm Duncan addressing the topic of Restoration. This is one of the main themes throughout Scripture, as our loving Father longs to lead each one of us into wholeness of spirit, soul and body.

Breaking New Ground - Part 2 Malcolm Duncan continuing to consider the vision we believe God would share with us.
