Central Church Fraserburgh

On Easter Sunday, Ps Lisa Watt brings a powerful message on the resurrection through the lens of different responses in the Easter story. From doubt and fear to joy and full surrender, we’re challenged with one question: what is our response to the cross and the risen Jesus? A clear and compelling call to believe, rejoice, and surrender our lives to Him.

From our  Devoted  series, Mark, Billy, and Precious share on what it means to be devoted to fellowship. Looking at Acts 2, they highlight that fellowship is more than a Sunday gathering — it’s a genuine commitment to love one another, build meaningful relationships, and grow together in Christ. A challenge for us as a church to live connected, not just attend.

In this message, Ian Runcie shares a powerful word on God’s restoring work in our lives. From Joel’s promise that God can restore the years the locusts have eaten, to the truth that anyone in Christ is a new creation, this sermon reminds us that the gospel is not just about forgiveness — it is about complete restoration. God restores what is lost, what is broken, and even the years that feel waste...

In this Mother’s Day message, Julie Innes shares a powerful word from the life of Hannah (1 Samuel 1), reminding us that even people of faith face real pain — but God sees, hears, and cares. From seasons of waiting and unanswered prayer to moments of surrender and gratitude, this message encourages us to bring our deepest struggles to God. What begins in tears can, in His hands, become a testimony...

Guest speaker Del Jones of Legacy Church Doncaster shares a powerful message about breaking free from the chains that try to hold us back — fear, shame, addiction, regret, and discouragement. Drawing from Acts 16 and the story of Paul and Silas, this message reminds us that praise, faith, and prayer have the power to break every chain. When we choose faith, speak God’s Word, and stand together as...

In this message from our  Devoted  series, Ben Ritchie explores Communion through the lens of Passover — past, present, and future. From Exodus 12 to the Last Supper and through to Revelation, we see the thread of the Lamb woven through Scripture. Communion calls us to look back at the cross, look around at the body of Christ, look inward in reflection, look upward in worship, and look forward to...

In this message from our  Devoted  series, Monica Jack explores what it means to pray the Word of God. Looking at Luke 7, Romans 8, Hebrews 4 and the Lord’s Prayer, she reminds us that Scripture anchors us, fuels our faith, gives us language when we don’t know what to pray, and aligns us with God’s will. When we pray the Word, we pray with confidence — because of Jesus. We approach a Father who is...

Part of our  Devoted  series, this message explores the power of both personal prayer and praying together as the church. Looking at Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 6 and the early church in Acts, Ps Ben reminds us that prayer isn’t about performance but relationship. Simple, sincere, and sustained — passion over perfection.

A call to rediscover prayer as the heartbeat of the church. Drawing from the book of Acts, this message explores how the early church was devoted to waiting, boldness, intercession, and praise — and challenges us not just to admire their devotion, but to inherit it. Prayer isn’t something we earn with, but a response to a God who is already listening.

In this message from the  Trust in the Word  series, Mark explores why reading the Bible always involves interpretation—whether we realise it or not. He looks at how our culture, experiences, and assumptions shape the way we read Scripture, and why good interpretation matters if we want to truly hear what God is saying. This talk challenges us to move beyond making the Bible say what we want, and...

In this message from our  Trust in the Word  series, Grace Donn reflects on a lifetime of walking with Scripture through different seasons of faith, loss, change, and renewal. Drawing from John 21, she reminds us that God continually invites us back into His presence — not for perfection, but for relationship. A gentle, honest encouragement to keep turning up, stay devoted to God’s Word, and allow...

In this message from our  Trust in the Word  series, Pastor Ben explores why Scripture can be fully trusted as God-breathed, inspired, and authoritative. Drawing from 2 Timothy 3, he unpacks how the Bible was written, why it remains historically, prophetically, and spiritually reliable, and how all of Scripture ultimately points to Jesus, the living Word.

Tune in for the introduction of our new series  Trust in the Word , encouraging the church to return to Scripture and build daily life around God’s Word. James Watt, Barbara-Ann Sutherland, and Mark Morrison share personal reflections on what God’s Word has meant in their lives. Through stories of salvation, challenge, and faith passed between generations, they speak honestly about the Bible as a...

Mark Morrison shares a message drawing parallels between those who answered the call to go to war and those who answer God’s call to follow Him. Through Abraham, the disciples, and the early church, we’re reminded that the call to “Go” often comes with cost, hardship, and suffering. But in every trial, we’re invited to look up — to fix our eyes on Jesus, the one who endured the cross and is always...

Ps Monica Jack continues the  Go Go Go  series with a powerful reminder of the grace that finds us, frees us, carries us, and leads us home. From Saul’s encounter in Acts 9 to the promises of Ephesians 2, this message paints a picture of grace that meets us in our lowest moments and carries us every step of the way. Unfortunately, due to a technical error, the final 10 minutes of this preach were...

From persecution to progress, Pastor Ben shares how the early church in Acts 8 was stretched, scattered, and strengthened — and how God still uses pressure to produce purpose in His people. Even when pushed, the church preached; even when pressed, it progressed. Be reminded that what feels like scattering might actually be sowing.

In this powerful message from Acts 9, Ps Sam challenges us to  “get up and go.”  Like Ananias, we’re called to step out of comfort and obedience into action — to bring God’s love to a broken world. Church isn’t just where we come to  be entertained , but where we’re  equipped  to go. You are trained, you are called, and you are ready to move — because you and the Holy Spirit can make a difference.

Pastor Ben shares a powerful message from Acts 16:22–31 on what it means to praise God in every season. When we choose to praise through the pain, our perspective shifts, others are lifted, and God’s power is released. Even in the darkest moments, praise changes everything.

Guest preacher Ps Stu Innes from Valley Church Stirling brings an inspiring message from Acts 3:1–11 reminding us that it’s not about ability—it’s about availability. Through the story of the beggar at the gate, we’re challenged to live with expectation, respond to God’s call, and keep walking out our faith with perseverance and praise. Even when it feels like your story has stalled, God’s not fin...

As part of our  Go Go Go  series, Lisa Lyall shares a powerful message from Acts about going in truth, steadfastness, and togetherness. Your past doesn’t define you — the gospel does, and the Holy Spirit empowers us to live boldly for Jesus today.

In this  Go Go Go  series message, Iain Runcie reminds us that the early church prayed desperately, waited expectantly, received suddenly, and went boldly. The same Spirit that empowered them empowers us today.  You + 1 (the Holy Spirit) can make a difference

Pastor Ben launches our new series  Go Go Go , a journey through the book of Acts. This opening message shows us that the church was never meant to stay still—it’s a gospel on the move. Empowered by the Spirit, we’re called to go and preach, go and teach, and go and reach. The mission of Jesus continues through us today.

Barbara-Ann Sutherland brings a powerful message titled “Be a Barnabas.” Looking at the life of Barnabas in Acts, she highlights the 3 B’s: be an encourager, be generous, and be a catalyst. Barnabas celebrated others instead of competing, gave generously of his resources and time, and helped unlock Saul’s ministry. We’re challenged to follow his example and live lives that lift others up, give fre...

Grace shares how a wise builder builds on the rock, stays obedient to God’s Word, and is prepared for the storms of life. A Kids Takeover message full of truth and encouragement for every generation.

A powerful word encouraging us to cry out to Jesus—cry for a miracle, and cry for joy. Just as Bartimaeus refused to stay silent, we’re called to lift our voices in faith and discover the breakthrough only Jesus can bring.
