Sermons from Aberdeen Christian Fellowship

Following the testimony of several folk who are baptised this morning, Vijay preaches from John 10:10. He explains that our first impulse is to make sense of the world we are born into. Like sheep we seek to be guided into understanding the world. The claim of the Christian faith is that life will never make sense to us until we relate positively to God. We come to that relationship by following J...

Job had asked God many questions but, instead of answering them, God questions Job. The end result is that, while Job doesn't have his questions answered, he meets God in a new way.

In this sermon, Vijay continues with his 'foundation' series looking at the spiritual discipline of confession. He explains that in confession we admit our deepest failures, weakness and sins to God and to trusted individuals in the Body of Christ. The purpose of this regular discipline is that we might experience God's grace, forgiveness and healing.

With the world about us in meltdown at the public scandals and dishonesty that are so evident, Christians must hold true to Jesus' claim that we must be salt and light in the world.

As part of the 'Foundation' series, Vijay speaks about prayer in this sermon. He explains that prayer is conversation with God, the result of which brings transformation to us and the world around us.

Are you currently on the run from God? Do you prefer to go your own way rather than His? Then watch out! Like Jonah, you could find yourself immersed in a storm of your own making which has far-reaching consequences, not only for you, but for other people. Tune in to the second part of Florence's message, Jonah for Grown-ups: a story of God's outrageous grace.

Continuing the 'foundation' series, Pastor Vijay looks at Bible Study as a Spiritual Discipline. Bible Study is that discipline of the spiritual life where the follower of Jesus intentionally engages the mind and heart with Scripture in such a way that allows Scripture to form and transform them.

In this short all-age Easter sermon, Pastor Vijay outlines some of the ways people responded to the risen Jesus. Like today many believe and many struggle to believe. But, the invitation to trust him remains the same today as it about 2000 years ago.

Iain continues his series in Isaiah - this week focusing on Isaiah 53 and the suffering of Christ.

Sunday 29th March - Robert Smith

Christian maturity comes from following the balanced course of the spiritual disciplines. The 2 dangers that threaten to destroy the spiritual life are legalism and license. The path of the disciplines seeks to avoid both in the strength of the Holy Spirit.

Ian starts a new series - this week focussing on Isaiah Chapter 1

Pastor Vijay explains the central significance of the second ordinance, Communion. Communion is the rite of the Church by which we remember the significance of what Jesus did on the cross for the world. It is a reminder that one day we will see him again. Pastor Vijay explains the central significance of the second ordinance, Communion. Communion is the rite of the Church by which we remember the...

Ever feel like doing your own thing and going your own way, even though this conflicts with God's purpose for you? If so, you're not alone. One of God's servants, the prophet Jonah, shows us that running from God is the worst thing you can do. Even when things appear to be going well, Jonah's experiences let us know that favourable circumstances do not necessarily mean you are living right. Tune i...

Vijay's seminar on 'Practice'

James continues his series on the life of Job. Job's three friends came to comfort him and they did well - until they opened their mouths.

Marking our first year of planned giving towards the building project, Vijay preaches from Deuteronomy 1.6-7: 'you have remained on this mountain long enough, now resume the journey'. He reminds us that the call to discipleship is a call to be willing to take holy risks for God. Faith is an invitation to abandon our need for certainty. It is an invitation to trust God in the absence of such certai...

Colin takes a Christian perspective on the subject of employment - how should we approach our work, whether it is paid work or time spent on God's work

Ian continues his series on revival, looking this week at the life of Solomon

Martin's second worship seminar

Ever thought failure was final? Think again! When one of Jesus' disciples turned back to his Lord after messing up, Jesus restored him to a position greater than he'd ever known. Tune in to this week's message on Peter: a picture of restoration.

Martin from Souled Out delivered a powerful and massively relevant seminar on 24x7 worship- this was part 1 of a 2-part series

Richard makes a welcome return to the preaching team. His sermon follows his recent trip to India with the mission team.

James begins a new series, "Why?", on the life of Job. In the first message, we learn some important lessons on how to deal with life's tough circumstances by looking at how Job responded when his world fell apart.

The story of Christmas for Joseph is a story of 4 surprises. The first is some devastating news of Mary, his fiance's pregnancy. The second, is a strange angelic visitor with a message from God. The third, is a remarkable message that Mary's child is conceived by God and he will save the world from their sins. The fourth surprise is the most staggering of all - that the birth of Jesus shows that G...
