Haddington Elim Church

It was July 4, 1776 that the 13 colonies declared their independence from Britain. Independence is a wonderful privilege but can also be a weakness. Paul had founded the church at Corinth and not long after, there began to be divisions within. He addresses the issues with them and how, we, as followers of Christ, need unity. We need each other all working together to fulfil the Great Commission!

Today we are looking at one of the most well known and beloved Psalms, Psalm 23. David, a shepherd for years,  tells us that the Lord is his shepherd. Listen to today's message to be encouraged by this wonderful Psalm.

Mark 1:16-18 (Amplified) 16 And passing along the shore of the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon [Peter] and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net [to and fro] in the sea, for they were fishermen. No sooner has Jesus began His ministry, He starts by calling men to follow Him. He moves from Nazareth to the Galilee region settling in Capernaum and finds fishermen to be the ones that He calls first. W...

There are times in our lives where we walk a lonely road and face fiery trials. God is working to bring out the Christlike character that He desires in our lives. Sometimes, like gold smelted in the furnace, heat is needed to skim off the dross and release the purest gold. Listen today to this encouraging message to be reminded that we are never alone.

Today we celebrate Pentecost Sunday where the Holy Spirit was poured out to the 120 believers gathered in the upper room. It is recorded in Acts chapter 2. Listen to the message to see how the Holy Spirit is still moving and working today in the lives of believers.

We live in an uncertain world. If we have learned anything over the past few years, nothing is certain. Every single thing we could place our trust in has been shaken. Even our very freedoms that here in the west we take for granted were taken away. In our fallen world, we have seen bedrocks crumble. Things like the family unit, that just a generation or two ago seemed a sure thing, have fallen by...

Pastor Gordon Allan brings this inspiring word this week. If you are ever in distress or feeling afraid, know that we can trust in the Lord our God! Be encouraged by this week's message!

Samba Bindia brings this timely word today. No matter what you are facing in life, God will always be a help in time of trouble. Be encouraged by the message. God is your deliverer!

This week, Jaaziel Solles brings this encouraging word for us today. A call to remember that God is in control. If you feel discouraged or afraid, our prayer is that this message will strengthen your faith and bring you hope.

Jesus has just cast a demon out of a man that was mute. The people begin to demand a sign from Him. He said to them that the only sign they shall be given is the sign of the Prophet Jonah. Luke 11:30 For just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be to this generation. Jonah became a sign to Nineveh, just as Jesus would be a sign to this generation. After three days and n...

This is the conclusion to the series 'The Road to the Cross'. Many times in life, we pay a price for something that, in the end, wasn't worth much. To Jesus, the price He paid on the cross was worth it all. He paid that price for you and for me. Listen now to today's message to hear about His plan for salvation.

In part 2 of our series, 'The Road to the Cross', we are looking at the lonely road that Jesus walked for our salvation. He was abandoned by His followers and betrayed by a close friend. If you have ever felt lonely or alone, today's message will encourage you. Listen now to hear about the road to the cross.

We are starting a new series called 'The Road to the Cross' with part one, 'The Road to suffering.'  Luke 22 starts off with the events of Passover and concludes with the arrest of Jesus. Listen today to hear how His suffering made the way for our salvation.

Jaaziel looks at the story of Hannah found in 1 Samuel 1. She was ridiculed by her rival for being barren but didn't let anything deter her from seeking God. Hear how her prayer to God, and her faithfulness to her vow she made changed Israel for decades. God answers her prayer and the Prophet Samuel is born. Listen to today's encouraging message and what God is saying to you through this story.

This week, Pastor Gordon Allan, lead Pastor of Edinburgh Elim, brings the sermon. We are called to be salt and light and to be the herald of His Good News to all the world. Listen now to hear how we can be people that bring good news of salvation to everyone we encounter. 2 Corinthians 3: 2 says: You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men; 3  being manifested th...

Last week we looked at how the 12 spies went into the land. It was a good land God told them to go in and possess, but they had this idea to spy it out first. One representative from each tribe was chosen to check out the land. 10 brought back a negative report while Joshua and Caleb implored the people to go in and possess it right then. Unbelief and discouragement spread rapidly throughout the w...

In Numbers 13, spies are sent into the new land that God was giving Israel. It was their raised voices complaining about the bondage of Egypt that came before God and had Him act on their behalf. Their crying out about their mistreatment at the hands of the Egyptians is what started their rescue. Here they are complaining against God! We can make the same mistake! May we be careful about our compl...

Jaaziel shares with us this week about David's Mighty Men found in 2 Samuel 23:8-12 and how the Church today needs to be brave in spite of anything it faces. His men had courage to face the enemy, attachment to God's Word, and defended the essentials. Listen now to be encouraged!  *we had some audio difficulties this week so please forgive us

In Romans chapter 7, Paul has been going over what he wants to do, he finds himself, instead, doing the things he hates. He says that the sin within him is causing it. He calls it the conflict of two natures. The spirit and the flesh at war with each other. No matter how hard he fought to keep the law, he found himself falling short time and again. But Christ has set us free! Free from the law and...

Today we are looking at John 3 and we meet a man called Nicodemus. He was a Pharisee and lived by the absolute strictest rules. (Conflicts between Pharisees and Sadducees took place often, especially regarding the resurrection of the dead) and a member of the Sanhedrin (who were appointed to sit in a tribunal as judges in the Land of Israel like the Supreme Court.) He is the leading teacher of the...

Jesus had travelled far and wide across Israel healing and restoring many, but in our message today,  a young man comes up to Him and leaves worse than when he came. This is rare because after encounters with Jesus, people were in much better condition. Some even brought back from the dead! He is known as the rich young ruler. He had tremendous potential. He is courteous and has spiritual que...

Today we are looking at Ephesians 6. In Ephesus, Paul had experienced a riot there and death threats over its worship of the goddess diana. (as told in Acts 19: 21-41). He wrote this letter 10 years later, nearing the end of his life and wanted to encourage this church that he had planted. As he was chained to soldiers in Rome, he used military imagery at times. Here, he builds on the idea of armo...

We have been looking at How should we live as Christians these last few weeks. Today we are continuing with instructions from Paul found in Philippians 2. Paul was used mightily by God in planting churches. To sum up what Paul is saying here: Your disagreements are showing that there is a spiritual problem in your fellowship that isn’t going to be solved by rules or threats, but only by our hearts...

Last week, we looked at how we should live in this world. We looked at Colossians 3 and how we are to take off things and also to put on love. Many of our troubles we face are not that different from the first century Christians. Today we are continuing to look at how we should live. Paul points out that in the life of the Christian, what we believe helps determine how we behave. Doctrine and duty...

With a new year upon us, and as followers of Christ, how should we live in a troubled world? Paul gives us practical ways in Colossians 3. Listen today to hear how we should live our lives for His glory.
