Sermon Notes: The Stronger, Something Greater Saviour (Luke 11: 14-36)
The Exorcism: displays his power (14)
- Simple, straightforward driving out of a demon
- Crowd amazed, but also leads to two other reactions:
The Excuse: denying his power (15-26)
- Jesus working for the devil?
- Is Satan’s kingdom divided? No, need another explanation
- ‘By the finger of God’ - link to Exodus 8:19
- Jesus the ‘stronger man’ defeating the devil
- Moral reform/self-effort not enough - need Jesus for victory
The Extraordinary: demanding his power (27-36)
- Wanting a sign (16)
- Sign of Jonah - 3 days in fish, resurrected, proclamation
- Queen of South (1 Kings 10:1) and Jonah will condemn this generation - something greater is here!
- Sight test - are you seeing light or darkness?
- Blessing for those who hear and obey God’s word
Jesus exceeds our expectations - he is the Stronger, Something Greater Saviour - will we see him as he is today?

CMS Project Launch
The ‘Little Lights’ Sunday School project ‘Pit Stop’ will be in Enniskillen Cathedral Hall on Thursday 12th February between 4.30pm and 6.15pm.

Hiroshima Remembrance

Hi folks Today, 6th August 2025, is the 80th anniversary since the United States of America dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Shortly afterwards, they dropped a similar device on another Japanese city of Nagasaki. Between the two events, over 200,000 people died, and Japan surrendered - ending the Second World War. The ripples from these two horrific events are still felt today, and the lessons from them are more relevant in today's world than ever before! Each day we hear about the tensions around the world regarding nations developing nuclear weapons, threatening to release havoc upon the world. Although the weapons are often referred to as deterants, the danger is that the whole world could be effectively ended within minutes if someone decided to release their particular weapon upon an enemy state! I pray that today reminds the world leaders about the absolute devastation that these weapons bring. They do not distinguish between combatants or civilians. ...

August Hymns and Readings

 Hi folks Here's the next list for the readings, readers and hymns for our services throughout August. There are five Sundays this month, and in our normal pattern, our fifth Sunday will be a Cafe Church service in the Parish Hall. As ever - this is just a guide, if you need to swap your date - just let someone know. Thank you to everyone who has volunteered to read each month, and if you'd like to join the list, please let the church wardens or the Rector know. If we need to do so, both David and the Rector are more than happy to fill in for any given reading!
