In what could be called one of the dullest chapters of the Bible, we trace the family line from Adam through Seth, where it seems death always wins. What hope is there in life outside the garden? It turns out that the line of Seth offers the only ultimate hope.

What’s life like outside the garden of Eden? It’s a place where sin, like an animal, is on the prowl. The story of Cain murdering his brother Abel and then continuing his own family line outside of Eden displays the damaging power of sin. God nonetheless shows undeserved mercy toward Cain and provides another son for Adam and Eve, meaning the promise to provide an approved offspring who will crush...

Our attempts at creating Utopia always seem to fail - which is why “Life sucks, and then you die” has become such a popular creed. Genesis 3 paints a stylised picture of what went wrong, and why the world works in the broken way it does. Is there even a glimmer of hope?

You’ll sometimes hear the expression (usually delivered with a touch of sarcasm), “She thinks she’s God’s gift to mankind.” But the fact is, we should recognise that God really has given us a gift when he gives us the right kind of leaders. Join us as we take a look at Ephesians 4:1-16 together in a sermon titled "God's Gift to His People".

The second chapter of Genesis gives us a tantalising glimpse of an unspoiled world, with God, mankind and creation in harmony. That’s not the world we live in now, but it does give a hint of what ultimate meaning and satisfaction might look like!

What better time than the start of a new year to look back to the Bible’s account of our origins. God’s intention was for a humanity that would bear his image and share his gracious rule over the creation - a grand start to the larger story of the mess we made, and the ‘second Adam’ who cleans it up. Join us as we take a look at Genesis 1 and 1 Corinthians 15:45-49 together in a sermon titled &quo...

Scots' is delighted to welcome Rev Dr Graham Cole back this Sunday as we take a look at 1 Peter 1:3-16 together in a sermon titled "Hope Matters".

The reason why Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians has become the standard for the Lord's Supper is because he sets out the meaning of the bread and the wine so succinctly. However, there is much to learn from and much to consider in from other accounts such as Luke's to give us more context and background to this key event.

With Jesus, it’s never a case of do as I say, not as I do. He always models in himself what he wants us to do. He is among us, as the one who serves, who values the lives of others ahead of his own life. Join us as we take a look at Luke 22:24-27 and 23:32-46 in a sermon titled "Among Us as the One Who Serves".

For Scots' Mission Awareness Sunday on 19 November 2023, Louise Campbell interviews the Ramsays through Zoom. Adam and Helane have been doing God's work in Chiba City, Japan. Join us for the fascinating perspective of navigating life as Christians in Japan!

There’s an infamous (but true) story of a church in Scotland that was so badly divided that they built a wall between the two halves of the congregation. But the Apostle Paul is clear - Christian maturity will always mean unity, as we build one another up in love. Join us as we take a look at Ephesians 4:1-16 in a sermon titled "No Walls Will Divide".

Scots' is delighted to welcome Rev Mike Raiter back for this week's Remembrance Sunday. Join us as we take a look at Micah 4:1-5 and Mark 13:1-13 in a sermon titled "And Wars Will be no More".

The voice of creation speaks loudly of God’s invisible qualities; the voice of Scripture restores our souls. Our own voices should respond to the gospel with confession and trust. This week, please join us in welcoming Dr Murray Capill as the guest minister, as we take a look at Psalm 19 and Romans 1:16-23 in a sermon titled "Three Powerful Voices"

Two weeks ago, we looked at Jesus’ parable dealing with the question of judgement. Last week we looked at the parable dealing with the critical question of forgiveness. So now, let’s look at Jesus’ parable of the labourers in the vineyard. This week, join us as we take a look at Matthew 19:29-20:16 in a sermon titled "A Question of Entitlement"

The kingdom of heaven is a concept that has many different facets to it. We might also think of it as a kaleidoscope. In today’s parable, the kaleidoscope has been rotated, as Jesus reveals a new pattern to us – a pattern about debt, and the forgiveness of debt.

Phil Court returns this week with "Put to the Test" with readings from Matthew 3:13-17 & 4:1-11!

Sometimes we’re told that if we just enough faith, everything will go well for us. But when Saul was converted on the road to Damascus, Jesus warned that a road of hardship lay ahead. Maybe that should adjust our own daily expectations. Join us as we take a look at Acts 9:15-16 and 19-31 in a sermon titled "A Fugitive for the Faith."

In a famous song, Bob Dylan asked “How many roads must a man walk down before you call him a man.” Whatever the answer, Saul, persecutor of Christians, finds himself on the wrong road as he faces a dramatic turnaround. This was the first Christian “conversion” – and it certainly wasn’t the last!

This week, together with Rev Phil Court join us as we take a look at Micah 6:6-8 and Mark 7:1-8, 14-23 in a sermon titled "The Trap of Tradition"

This week, join us together with Rev Phil Court as we take a look at Matthew 4:18-22 and 9:9-14 in a sermon titled "The Apostles: A Motley Crew"

Join us in welcoming back Rev Phil Court as our guest speaker this week. Let's take a look at John 6:48-71 together in a sermon titled "To Whom Shall We Go?"

We welcome Rev Graham Cole as our guest speaker this week! Professing Christians are now a minority in Australia. Social change is dizzying. The sermon addresses the question , What does it mean to follow Christ amidst such flux? Join us as we take a look at Jeremiah 29:4-7 and Matthew 15:13-16 together in a sermon titled "seeking the welfare of the city"

We welcome Rev Luke Tattersall as guest preacher this week! Guilt can be a powerful thing ... and sometimes, a burden that we carry with us. As he writes Psalm 32, David helps us understand guilt, and how to deal with it. Join us as we take a look at Psalm 32 together in a sermon titled "Forgiveness"

Philip the Evangelist finds himself called to the desert with a man doubtly-unlikely to find inclusion in God's kingdom. But just as we discover today, allegiance to Jesus can create unlikely bonds between his people. Join us as we take a look at Acts 8:26-40 together in a sermon titled "Radical Inclusion"

When news about Jesus crosses the border, Simon the Samaritan Sorcerer risks losing his reputation as the greatest miracle worker in town. When he bids to buy a franchise in the Holy Spirit business, he’s quickly rebuffed - as a reminder that we’re in the business of making Jesus look great, rather than seeking glory for ourselves. Join us as we take a look at Acts 8:1-25 together in a sermon titl...
