Welcome to our Sunday Worship. This week we are looking at Matthew 5:6 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.” The reading is from Matthew 5:1-12 Seeing the crowds, Jesus went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him. 2 And he opened […]
This morning we consider “Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth”. The reading is Matthew 5:38-48, Jesus own commentary on that blessing which is one of the most searching parts of the Sermon on the Mount: 38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for […]
Today we begin a sporadic series on the book of Jonah – the sermon comes from a United Service in the Pheasants Hill Chapel back in October 2011. First of all; the reading from Jonah chapter 1. Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, 2 “Arise, go to […]
Welcome to our Sunday morning worship. Today we are thinking about the strangest of Jesus’ blessings set out in the Beatitudes as we call them (Matthew 5:1-12) “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted” Matthew 6:24ff is a commentary on that blessing, urging us to trust God and not to give way […]
Our worship this morning is being led by Scott Wheeler. Scott led this service for us in church back on August 29th, but we are using the material he prepared now, with his permission. We begin, as always, by singing God’s praises: Let’s hear from Marks gospel 6:53-7:23 And now we bring our prayers to […]
Our worship today continues in the abbreviated form we have been using these last few weeks. We are beginning a series on the “Beatitudes” or blessings to be found in Matthew 5:1-12. Karen reads those verses for us now: Talk – “Poor in spirit – the foundation.” To be poor in spirit is to recognise […]
We close our summer in the Psalms with one of the very best known – Psalm 90. First the Psalm itself – read along with me: Talk – God is our home. And now a song to go with the Psalm – what else could it be but Isaac Watts’ great version: Our God, our […]
Last wee we heard the message of the Sun, this week we hear about the message of the Bible and it’s benefits. First Psalm 19:7ff. The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul;the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;8 the precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;the commandment of the Lord […]
This morning we take a look at Psalm 19 – as I type the rain is heaving down but we will be looking at the message of the Sun, a message too little heard or heeded. Reading from Psalm 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above[a] proclaims his handiwork.2 Day to day […]
This is the second n s series of sermons on the Psalms. More than a little random, but these are Psalms which have spoken to me (Glyn) and I hope they make speak to you. Perhaps you would like to read Psalm 16 with me Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge.2 I […]
