Carnmoney Presbyterian Church Sermons

Our Vision is that we will be a vibrant community of Christians devoted to the task of spreading the Gospel in our area and winning back the lost of our generation for Christ. When God answers our prayers, how will we deal with the increase in size of our already large Congregation? In what ways will we have to change our custom and practice to make "strangers" feel at home amongst us? And how can we change so that no-one amongst us fears ridicule from Spiritual "posers"?
The new-born Church faced and solved these tough questions when the Holy Spirit moved powerfully to build his Church in an incredibly short period of time. We need to do the same today.

How powerful is God? Can he heal terminal illness? Can he bring back someone who has just died? Sounds plausible enough. What about a 4-day old corpse?
We all say we have faith, but in our hearts there are times when we, in truth, have a "plan B" in case he fails. As the old saying goes "trust in God, but keep passing the bullets..".
That is not faith. We don't need a "plan B". We just need to really trust in plan A - God almighty. He never fails. We don't need to keep passing the bullets. May the Lord bless you as you listen to what he says.

"Good Teacher - what must I do to inherit eternal life?". The question that the rich young man asked was, in his mind at least, just to confirm what he already knew. He had kept the law religiously all his life, so he was confident that eternal life was his for the taking. What Jesus told him cut him to the core.
Based on the text of Matthew 19 verses 16-30

Jesus comes down off the mountain to a furore. His Disciples have failed to drive out a demon from a little boy and the crowd are not impressed. The Disciples are confused and down-hearted. Why could they not drive out the demon when they could do so just a short while before? The response of Jesus and his explanation to the Disciples of what they were doing wrong contains a challenge that is just as relevant to us today as it was back then.
Based on the text of Mark chapter 9.
