In today’s sermon titled “Seeds and the Saviour,” Rev. Andrew Irwin explores the Parable of the Sower from Mark 4:1-20. Through personal stories and vivid imagery from his childhood on the farm, Rev. Irwin emphasizes the importance of the soil in which the seeds of the Gospel are planted. While the seed—the Word of God—remains powerful and transformative, the fruitfulness of that seed depends on the condition of the heart that receives it.

In this episode, Rev. Andrew Irwin unpacks the parable of the Good Samaritan from Luke 10:25-37, addressing the profound question, “Who is my neighbour?” Through this familiar story, Rev. Irwin challenges us to think about the depth of God’s call to love both Him and those around us. With thought-provoking insights, he explores how we often seek to justify ourselves and instead calls us to live out a faith marked by active compassion. Tune in to reflect on how we can embody Christ’s love in our everyday lives, reaching out to those in need within our community and beyond.

In this episode, we dive into 1 Kings 8:22-30, exploring Solomon’s prayer at the dedication of the temple and the profound difference between simply knowing about God and truly experiencing Him. Through personal illustrations and reflections from C.S. Lewis, we examine how our spiritual “lenses” affect how we perceive and live out our faith. We discuss the themes of humility, obedience, and God’s covenant faithfulness, as well as the power of prayer in transforming our lives. Join us as we consider how our lived experience of God in Christ, through the Holy Spirit, shapes how we see and engage with the world around us.

In our message this morning, Rev Andrew preached from Psalm 142 and challenged us to bring all our cares to the God who knows us and understands all that we are facing.

In this episode, Wisdom in Worship, we delve into the story of Solomon from 1 Kings 3:3-15. As Solomon begins his reign after the long and prosperous rule of his father, David, he faces the daunting task of leading God's people. Instead of seeking power, wealth, or security, Solomon humbles himself before God and asks for wisdom to govern justly. We reflect on how Solomon’s example of worship and seeking divine guidance offers timeless lessons for us today. Whether navigating personal challenges or the broader changes in our world, we explore how prioritizing God's wisdom can ground us in times of uncertainty and lead us towards faithful living.
