    Heaven or Hell, it is a frightening topic, and not for the faint hearted, but there is a wealth of goodies in this reading, particularly inspiration for evangelism.

    This sermon was delivered Gordon McCulloch to the congregation at Holy Trinity in Ayr, Ayrshire, Scotland on the 29th September 2019; Holy Trinity is a Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries. Amos 6:1a,4-7 Psalm 146 1 Timothy 6:6-19 Luke 16:19-31 “Please join me in a ...read more

    In this reflection, we reflect on how we move from the confusion of Peter to the focus of Jesus, from the cross of our lives to the crown of our heavenly lives by following Christ Jesus with our conduct in our lives on this earth.

    No Cross, No Crown (Twenty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time) Jeremiah 20:7-9, Romans 12:1-2, Matthew 16: 21-27. Reflection Dear sisters and brothers, Let us read the Word of God for this Sunday.

    A whistlestop tour of the factors that have made us and our culture (in the UK) as we are. (turned us into individualists and consumers, basically!)

    Our culture. WBC 12/5/02 am Seeker Service Judges 2:8-16 I’ve wanted to say something to you on this subject for some time - understanding who we are… and what made us like this… brought us here is - so very important - SO fascinating! 1 Are things worse?

    THE FAMILY THAT PRAYS TOGETHER STAYS TOGETHER Acts 4:23-37 INTRODUCTION A good Christian lad went camping with his family.

    This sermon looks at the Christian life as a pligrimage and suggests that a successful pilgrimage is dependent upon having a faith like Abraham’s.

    A Pilgrim’s Memoirs Hebrews 11:8-19 For the last 23 years, my family and I have wandered from country to country. As perpetual wanderers, we have often searched for a home church in each country we have sojourned. Yet each time we knew that we would wander again. In a sense we are living ...read more

    Amos is called by God to stand amongst and to show the error of our ways

    We have just heard a passage from the book of Amos. I always try to imagine what the person was like. I find it fascinating to try to conjure up an image of the person in the passage. I believe that Amos is best described as a man of God. He was a man whose life was spent serving God and his ...read more

    Holy Spirit, Fill Us

     | 8,225 views

    A sermon for the 2003 World Day of Prayer. The reason the Holy Spirit doesn’t seem to be moving on us at the moment may be that he has to renew us before he can fill us.

    ****Introduction**** It is appropriate that the theme for this year’s World Day of Prayer is, in fact, a prayer. It is a prayer that the Church has been praying since Jesus went home to Heaven. It is a prayer that God has been pleased to answer since that first Pentecost. However, it is a prayer ...read more

    One mans view of the parable of the parable of the mina’s from Luke 19 - showing the amazing grace of God in turning him from a slave to a ruler of cities

    You’ll never guess what I saw – it seemed so unfair. He seemed such a nice chap – he had a wife and a couple of kids. He wasn’t seeking to do better than all the others. Just get by. He wasn’t the type to take needless risks – he was a good steady sort. Looked after his family… took care of ...read more

    Wrestles With God

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on May 31, 2006
    based on 26 ratings
     | 7,000 views

    The whole experience of PRAYER is not to wrestle with God over our demands, but to know the heart of the One who seek to bless us and call us to a higher purpose in life, and help us understand our utter dependence on Him for success.

    This picture of Jacob wrestling with a God-man can be considered as one of the most bizarre encounter in the Bible. • He was all alone, having sent his family and all his possessions across the stream. • It was in the night, and he wrestled with this God-man until daybreak. Many see him as a hero ...read more

    Many trials and temptations, but all too often we are not even aware of them.

    We’ve been with Matthew’s passage many times in our Christian worship, we’ve heard the Word of God and we know all about temptation. In fact over the course of preaching, the trials of temptation come up in many forms, many ways. After all, we all know about temptation – we’re experts at it! ...read more

     | 11,570 views

    Often we make a division that somethings are sacred and some things not. Thsi sermon highlights that everything has been given to us to use for God’s purposes, of loving Him and loving others.

    How we see things affects how we relate to them. Some years a go a man who works in the area of caring for the homeless was asked by a journalist, “how come you seem to have so much respect for them” “no matter what mood they are in, or how they are acting you show them more love than anyone else ...read more
