Yesterday we listened in as Jesus spoke to a very religious man. Did Jesus commend Nicodemus for his religious works? No, in fact he speaks some truths for religious people, the first of which is 'You Must Be Born Again' .

On Sunday, we heard John telling us about the first time he met Jesus and began to follow him. The three little words ' Come and See ' are an invitation to the searcher and the sceptic, as we hear them and share them with others, inviting people to meet with the real Jesus.

September brought the start of our new autumn series: We Have Seen His Glory - listening to the eyewitnesses who met with Jesus, as recorded in John's Gospel. In the prologue, the first eighteen verses, John begins by telling us just who Jesus is - the eternal Word made flesh. Listen in as we hear about Receiving the Word .

We've had a wee blink of summer this week, although it seems to have disappeared again! Here's the sermon mp3 from the last of our Summer Psalms series from August, where David declares to God ' You are my Strength ' in Psalm 63.

On Sunday morning we continued looking at Psalms from David's life; this time it was Psalm 7. In view of a vicious verbal assault by a Benjaminite as David flees Jerusalem before his rebellious son Absalom, David declares to God that ' You are my Shelter .' Take refuge in the God of justice.

We're continuing with our sermon series looking at Psalms from the life of King David. In 2 Samuel 15, his son Absalom begins a rebellion, so David flees from Jerusalem.

On Sunday morning, we had the first in our short summer sermon series looking at Psalms from the life of King David. In 2 Samuel 11, David commits adultery with Bathsheba, then has her husband killed in the war he should have been fighting himself. He thinks he has gotten away with it, but God was displeased, and sent Nathan the prophet to confront and convict David. Psalm 51 is the Psalm David writes in response: You are my Salvation.

With some months, we're able to continue full steam ahead in our latest series. Other months have lots of special events happening, so we're more bitty in our sermons. In June we had both Gift Day and Children's Day, with special sermons for those occasions. For the rest of the month, we've been continuing in 1 Thessalonians, as we think about holiness and hope. Here are the sermons from June (and the start of July) to catch up or listen again: Sunday 7th June 1 Timothy 6: 3-19 Godliness with Contentment (Gift Day) Sunday 14th June 1 Thessalonians 4: 1-12 Walking Worthy in Holiness Sunday 21st June Matthew 5: 13-16 Little Lights (Children's Day - Rev Adrian Dorrian) Sunday 28th June 1 Thessalonians 4: 13-18 Walking Worthy in Hope Sunday 5th July 1 Thessalonians 5: 1-11 Walking Worthy for The Day
