Join with us as Craig Brotherston (the new leader of the ELIM church in the Republic of Ireland) opens up for us the glory of the Lord as described to us in Isaiah 40:12-31.

Pastor Cathal Duffy from Castlebar Christian Fellowship opens up for us the last part of the Lord's Prayer, and helps us to worship God's glory.

Pastor John Fitzsimmons open's up for us the next part of the Lord's Prayer...

​This week we'll be kicking off the new year with a brand new  series on 'The Lord's Prayer' by Cathal & John.

For the Christian 'The Lord's Prayer' is both a prayer to pray & a template for all we pray. It's not something we grow out of, but something we grow into as we come to Christ & mature as his disciples.

In our first episode we're exploring the first two lines; "Our Father in heaven, hallowed by your name."

In these final verses of Galatians St. Paul gives us another contrast. A contrast between those who make a religious show & one who boasts only in the cross. What we could call ‘Gospel Plus Religion’ verses ‘Gospel Only Believing’. What we have in this closing section is the climax of the main point of the letter: It’s either Christ plus ________ or Christ alone. In the end it’s what we boast in that reveals what we are truly trusting in. 

This sermon walks us through one of the great military victories of the Old Testament when God supernaturally gave King Jehoshaphat & the people of Judah victory over their enemies. God promised this victory through his prophet Jahaziel! Then as those appointed to sing of God's love led God's army out, the Lord set ambushes on Judah's enemies giving victory to his people. This story helps remind us that the battles we face as God's people are ultimately his & not ours. 

What we sow & where we sow matters! One of the fixed laws of nature is that a person will reap what they sow. If someone wants tulips they have to plant tulip bulbs. And even when the right bulbs are planted, it's vital they're planted in good soil. Yet when the right bulbs are planted in the right place, springtime will be full of colour, reward & joy! ‘You will reap what you sow’ is the title of this sermon! In this section of Galatians Paul wants his readers to understand that what is true in the natural world is also true in the spiritual life of the believer. So he gives us both warning & motivation to 1. Sow well, 2. To sow with confidence & 3. To sow while we can! 

This message was preached by Pastor Peter Finch. Peter was the founding pastor of Amazing Grace & now leads Ballyfermot Community Church in Dublin. The message focuses on the story of Issac opening old & new wells. While he faced opposition along the way God still made room for him at a place called Rehoboth & even those who had opposed him came to recognise God was with him. 

​Staying Free: A Letter to Recovering Pharisees (13)
Sermons on St. Paul's letter to the Galatians 
​Reading: Galatians 5:25-6:6

When Paul talks about being spiritual in this section of Galatians, he is not talking about self-discovery but how we love others. He has in mind the fruit of the Spirit flourishing in our everyday relationships & Christian community. He has in mind in how we deal with sinners & the burdened, how we view ourselves in relation to others & even how generous we are toward those who teach us God’s word. Paul wants us all to be spiritual people & in Christian terms spirituality is the Spirit's fruit in our lives & in our reading Paul gives five marks of how this fruit works it way out in Christian living – five marks of spiritual maturity!
