In 1 Samuel 9-10, preparations are made for Israel’s first king, Saul. God himself explains why it is that he is choosing Saul to be king, and the reason is: mercy. Even through this appointment, God was being merciful to his people.

In 1 Samuel 8, God interprets his people’s request for a king as a rejection of him. In this passage we learn a lot about how God governs his people and how we ought to trust him as we look at why the request was a rejection.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is clearly of huge significance to the Christian faith. But why? What’s so important about it? In this sermon we look at what the apostle Paul teaches on the resurrection in Colossians 3:1-4.

One of the marvels of the Christian faith is that God himself stepped down from heaven to earth. Christians have often referred to this as Christ’s “humiliation.” But why is this put forward as a reason to praise God? In this guest sermon, Rev Ciarán Kelleher (Free Church of Scotland) considers this subject in Psalm 113.

At the end of Ephesians 2, the apostle Paul wants to give us a big picture view of what God is doing: he is bringing peace. It is almost always important to keep the big picture in view in many aspects of life, and it’s no different when it comes to being a Christian. In this sermon we look at how God brings peace.

In this guest sermon, Rev Brian Peterson (Surfside PCA, SC) takes us through Jesus’ healing of a deaf and mute man and what we can learn from it.

At the begging of his letter, the apostle Paul has been outlining the many ways that God has blessed the Christian. The natural question to ask in light of this is, why? In chapter 2 Paul answers this question by explaining the significance of God’s grace, which we look at in this sermon.

In Ephesians 1:15-23, the apostle Paul outlines three things he prays that Christians would know. The third of the three things relates to God’s power. What do we need to know about God’s power? In this sermon we answer this question as we look at Ephesians 1:19-23.

The Apostle Paul wrote a letter to relatively new Christians in relatively new churches which we have in the Bible as Ephesians. In the first chapter he explains what he prays for when he prays for them, and his prayer revolves around knowledge. So, what does he want Christians to know? In this sermon we look at this subject in Ephesians 1:15-23.

At the beginning of 1 Samuel, God’s people were in a sorry state. Yet there was hope and it centred on a man named Samuel. For the last few chapters, Samuel had been absent. But in chapter 7 he shows up. What does he do when he shows up? How will God restore and renew his people through Samuel? Well, he begins with one thing: repentance. In this sermon we look at what repentance is and how we get it.
