Throughout Holy Week in 2025, we travelled through Matthew 27 as Jesus went to the cross.

In this sermon, Jesus is crucified and buried. We think of what this signifies and means for us as sinful humanity.

Throughout Holy Week in 2025, we travelled through Matthew 27 as Jesus went to the cross.

In this sermon, we think of the mockery that the soldiers show Jesus - despite Jesus being the very Son of God and the Saviour that we need.

Speaker: James McNay.

Throughout Holy Week in 2025, we travelled through Matthew 27 as Jesus went to the cross.

In this sermon, we think about the choice the crowd made to release Barabbas and not Jesus - and how the innocent took the place of the guilty.

Throughout Holy Week in 2025, we travelled through Matthew 27 as Jesus went to the cross.

In this sermon, we think about the dilemma facing Pontius Pilate who clearly knows that Jesus is innocent.

Throughout Holy Week in 2025, we travelled through Matthew 27 as Jesus went to the cross.

We were delighted to have Rev. Ross Mitchell preaching on Palm Sunday! Here is his message from Matthew 21: 1-11.

First preached: 13th April 2025.

Speaker: Ross Mitchell.

In this sermon, we see Jesus being falsely accused and condemned by the High Priest and the Council.

The priests and elders were unable to see beyond their own power - and saw Jesus as an inconvenience and someone to be got rid of at any cost. We think about how we are to stand for truth - even when it is inconvenient - and how much Jesus went through, just for us.

First preached: 30th March 2025.

Speaker: James McNay.

In this sermon, we think about Jesus being betrayed by Judas. We note how Jesus' demeanour has changed from agony to peace as he centres himself in the Father's will. And we see an example for us in prayer.

And we see how amazing it is that Jesus is willing to go through betrayal and desertion as he goes to the cross - something that only he can do - and him alone.

First preached: 23rd March 2025.

Speaker: James McNay.

In this sermon, we consider Matthew 26: 36-46 and Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane.

We think about the agonies that Jesus went through and his temptation to not go through with the cross. But we see how he submits himself to his Father's will and says 'Your will be done'.

First preached: 16th March 2025.

Speaker: James McNay.

In this sermon, we hear of Jesus predicting that all the disciples will desert him before he goes to the cross. We see how Jesus sees this as a fulfilment of Scripture and also the disciples vociferous denials that they will do such a thing. We reflect on how though the disciples are well-meaning - that they are also human and cannot do what they want to do - something Paul reflects in Romans 7. Despite this, Jesus also gives the disciples encouragement that after he is risen, he will meet them again at Galilee - therefore there is hope of forgiveness and reconciliation for the disciples.
