Sermons from Aberdeen Christian Fellowship

Isaiah 6 gives us a 'sneak-peek' of worship in heaven where the focus is always and entirely upon God. Can the same be said of our worship?

Communication isn't the main strong point of the male species - Pete discusses a few of the issues that men ( and probably women!) have with prayer, and the answers which God provided to these questions !

The Psalms allows us to be real and we don't have to pretend to be someone we're not. Florence takes a look at Psalm 119:25-32 where the psalmist gives us an ABC of connecting with God when things go wrong. He encourages us to: Acknowledge our distress Be confident in God's word Choose the right way to live

Malcolm gives his testimony

Rev I.W. Falope brings us God's word today

Iain finishes Colossians Chapter one, by considering Paul's amazing statement, 'Christ lives in you'.

In the fourth sermon of the series 'Postcards for Plodders', Vijay looks at Christ's letter to Thyatira (Rev 2.18-29). Perseverance, according to this letter, means remaining unwavering in 'principled love'. This is a love that is grounded and informed by the truth revealed in Scriptures.

In the third of the 'Postcard for Plodders' series, Vijay looks at the Lord's letter to Pergamum (Rev 2.12-17). From this 'postcard' we learn that perseverance is about not compromising on the essentials. When followers of Jesus compromise their faith, they concede important teachings in the core beliefs and/or grow morally lax for some perceived gain. Perseverance means resisting compromise.

For the Evening Service, Vijay looks 2 Kings 4:1-7. He reminds us that we often don't know how needy and dependent we really are until our foundations are pulled out from under us. But, these sorts of situations can bring us to realise that we all are ultimately dependent on God. When we turn to him, we find ourselves fulfilled with his abundance.

In the second 'Postcard for Plodders', Vijay looks at the letter of Christ to Smyrna (Rev 2.8-11). This letter looks at perseverance from a another angle. Perseverance means hanging on to the faith and values that you know to be true as a follower of Jesus even when it means you have to suffer and die for it.

In the first message of this new series from Isaiah 6, James focuses on the exaltation of God who is the King of Glory and shows how a fresh vision of Him encourages us as we face an uncertain future

Vijay starts a new series, titled Postcards for Plodders based on the 7 Letters in the Book of Revelations. Each of these 7 letters highlight a different aspect of what it means for the church and individuals in it to persevere. The letter to Ephesus highlights the importance of remaining unwavering in our love towards God and the world (and all its inhabitants). This love must inform and generate...

Have you ever wondered what real love is? Florence unpacks 1 Corinthians 13:1-7 to find out why love is important, what it looks like and how we can display it in our everyday relationships.

To conclude the 24/3 Prayer, Vijay brings our attention to the Lord's Prayer. Expanding on the words of the Lord's Prayer, Vijay highlights three activities involved in prayer. When we pray, we make requests to God: learn about God, ourselves and the world; and commit to a certain course of action. The Lord's Prayer contains 6 petitions, each of which are explored briefly in today's sermon. He the...

Fiona remnds us that we have a God who cares about every aspect of our lives

In anticipation of this week's 24/3 prayer, Vijay speaks on the relationship between spiritual drought and prayer. Fleshing out the story of Elijah's prayer for rain in 1 Kings 18, he suggests three things: 1) spiritual drought is the result of idolatry. He notes that compromise is idolatry, as much as a wholehearted devotion to anything other than God. 2) Spiritual abundance is the result of repe...

Iain continues his studies in Colossians Chapter One, by reminding us that we have been reconciled to God through Christ, who brings us into the very presence of God. Therefore, we are encouraged to move forward into the new year with confidence and purpose and not to drift away.’

On this first Sunday of the new year, Vijay draws attention to some Paul's last words in 2 Timothy 4.7-8. Keeping the faith is Paul's language for perseverance. But, what does that look like. Using the example of a soldier, Paul reminds us that perseveran

Pete talks about the fruits of the Spirit described in the book of Galatians

Uncertain is a word that most aptly describes the future. In this one-off message, James suggests that getting a fresh view of God as He really is can help us cope with an uncertain future. When we see God as He is, there are a number of other inevitable consequences...

Iain's short talk from the special Christmas Sunday service

This morning, Vijay explores Joseph's experience of the Christmas story (Matt 1:18-24). He suggests that for Joseph, the miracle of the virgin birth pales in comparison to the real miracle of Christmas - that God would become human. But, that is the great insight of Christmas: God is 'Immanuel', the God who has always (right from the creation of the world) been a God who is with us and for us. Wha...

We often look for God to reveal himself in spectacular ways when we should be seeking him in silence

What is faith, why is it important, and how can you demonstrate it? In this message, Florence unpacks these questions by looking at the first few verses of Hebrews 11. Be challenged as you compare your faith to Old Testament characters like Abel, Enoch, Noah and Abraham and be encouraged as you hear how faith that is centred on Jesus Christ can help you keep going through times of uncertainty.

This morning Vijay looks at what was so special about Mary that she would become the mother of the Son of God incarnate. Looking at different portions of Scripture, Vijay explains that God didn't choose Mary because she was special, but Mary became favoured and special because God chose her. What was true of Mary is true for us today. Having said that, Mary did have a special quality - her complet...
