This week, Niall Munro preaches from the opening of Paul’s letter to the Romans — a passage that captures the heart of the Christian message. What makes the gospel so powerful, and why are we often hesitant to share it? In this sermon, we’re reminded that the gospel is not just good advice but God’s power to save — for everyone who believes. It’s news worth living for, and news worth proclaiming without shame.

Bible passage:

• Romans 1:1-17

This week, we hear from Mr Campbell Brown of Crow Road Free Church on Paul’s final charge to Timothy — a call to be strong, to share the load, and to endure hardship. Preaching from 2 Timothy 2, this sermon reminds us that the Christian life isn’t about self-reliance but about faithful dependence on God. Like soldiers, athletes, and farmers, we’re called to discipline, perseverance, and passing the gospel on to the next generation — trusting that beyond the toil lies the harvest.

‘The Transfiguration’. This week, Rev David Parker explores the mountaintop moment when Jesus’ glory was revealed before his disciples. We’re invited to consider the paradox at the heart of the Christian faith — a radiant Messiah who walks the path of suffering, and a glory that will one day be shared with those who follow him. The voice from the cloud says it all: “This is my Son... listen to him.”
