Because I have received so many messages from Christians who are thankful for the time and detail I have been putting in these posts I am going to continue. Sadly far too many Christians are struggling because their pastors, who are meant to be their undershepherds, are not protecting them from the wolves who seek to ravage the flock. (others have those who are doing … Continue reading Glen Scrivener and the Middle Way re that Sermon
I was preaching at a Chinese Presbyterian Church conference in Sydney this morning, and was immediately asked what I thought about the Royal Wedding (which some of them had stayed up to watch the night before). We had an interesting discussion. I will keep my thoughts for later, but in particular they wanted to know what I thought of THAT sermon. Again I will have … Continue reading Right Royal Preaching
I greatly enjoyed being at The Village Church in Annandale, Sydney. It is a contemporary Anglican church which makes great use of media. I was impressed with the congregation and the minister, Dominic Steele. Here is a video of the morning sermon on Ecclesiastes 1. The evening will be next week. This also is available on Clayton TV here – Continue reading Ecclesiastes 1 – Nothing New Under the Sun – Preaching at the Village Church, Sydney
I had the enormous privilege of hearing a quite extraordinary sermon last Sunday. It was in St Thomas’s Anglican church in North Sydney and was on the occasion of the Anzac service. Simon Manchester had decided to continue with his series on Song of Solomon – how was he going to fit that into this Remembrance service? Please listen to it…and you will see what … Continue reading An Astonishing Sermon (s)
We have just returned from The Katoomba Christian Convention – an interdenominational Christian conference that has been held in the Blue Mountains since 1903.

Last Sunday morning was a special service for me – as I got to baptise my grandson – Finlay as well as Elizabeth – another girl in the congregation…the church was packed… Here is the morning service: Songs – Praise to the Lord, the Almighty; From heaven you Came; Ps 89:1-6 and 13-18; We Praise God for His Covenant; May the Peace Readings: Colossians 1:24-29 … Continue reading Baptisms, Prayer, Holiness, a New Song and a (not so good) Farewell Sermon – St Peters March 11th
Last Sunday was a special day for us. In both the morning and evening there was a real sense of the Lord’s presence. I thought Robin’s sermon in the morning was a stunningly appropriate one for St Peters (and I suspect for many other congregations), and our evening communion – looking at Psalm 82 – helped a number of people. Our God is a God … Continue reading God’s Word for Church and Community – St Peters Services 25th Feb with Robin Sydserff, Andy Robertson – 1 Thessalonians 5 and Psalm 82
“What is the end of all church-order, assemblies, and worship? What is a church? Is it not a company of sinners gathered together, according to God’s appointment, to give glory and praise to him for pardoning grace, for the forgiveness of sins, and to yield to him that obedience which he requires from us on the account of his having so dealt with us? This … Continue reading Romans 6 – True Freedom – Praise and Preaching from St Peters
Last Sunday I had the privilege of preaching on the North Coast of Northern Ireland – the preachers in St Peters were David Meredith and Craig Anderson.
