West Kilbride Parish Church

In this sermon, David Clark leads us through Psalm 116. First preached: 26th October 2025. Speaker: David Clark 

In this sermon, Brian Murray reflects on Luke 18: 1-8 and the parable of the persistent widow. First preached: 19th October 2025. Speaker: Brian Murray.

In this sermon, we think about how Paul shows how perverse it would be to continue living in sin just so that the grace of God could increase. Living in this lawless (antinomian) way is impossible for God's children who have been reborn and who now live by the Spirit. First preached: 12th October 2025. Speaker: James McNay.

In this sermon, we see who we are in our natural selves in Adam - but also the benefits that Jesus brings to us as the 'second Adam'. We think about the 7 'buts' in this passage - and the 1 'now' which shows the wonderful benefit of faith in Jesus Christ. First preached: 28th September 2025. Speaker: James McNay.

In this sermon, we think about all the benefits of faith - and the wonder that at just the right time, whilst we were still sinners, Christ died for us. We also think of the amazing reality that when we believe in Jesus, we are friends with God because of what he has done. First preached: 21st September 2025. Speaker: James McNay.

In this sermon, we look at the positive outworkings of faith in Jesus - that faith brings us peace, joy (even in suffering) and hope. First preached: 7th September 2025. Speaker: James McNay.

In this sermon, we think about the kind of faith that Abraham had - and that it was not blind faith, but a faith based on God's Word. Similarly, even when the evidence goes against it, we are called to have faith in God who can do the impossible because of what his word says. First preached: 31st August 2025. Speaker: James McNay.

In this sermon on Romans 4: 9-17, we think about how Abraham had faith before he was circumcised and how therefore he is the father of all who have faith. This meant that for Jewish background believers and for Gentile background believers that what was important was faith in Jesus Christ. And only that faith could save them. We then go on to think about how no matter who we are, that we too can b...

In this sermon, we re-start our series in Romans that we began in Autumn 2024. We re-cap the first chapters of Romans, before concentrating on Romans 4: 1-8. In this passage, Paul makes it clear that Abraham was declared righteous by faith and not by his deeds and how, in the Lord Jesus, this remains the same for us. First preached: 3rd August 2025. Speaker: James McNay.

In the third of our series looking at our connections and relationships, we come to 1 Corinthians 7 and think about marriage and singleness. We think about the boundaries that God has put in place which are not to restrict us - but to allow us to flourish. We look at what a blessing it is to be married... and what a blessing it is to be single - and that whatever we are called to, we should honour...

In this sermon, Robin Davis leads us to think about Pentecost from Acts 2: 1-13. First preached: 8th June 2025. Speaker: Robin Davis.

In the second in our series about being connected, we look at our relationships with each other. We think about how we are not meant to be alone - but are made in the image of God for relationship. As the Godhead is in relationship and is love; so we are to be in relationship with each other and to love. First preached: 25th May 2025. Speaker: James McNay.

In this series, we are thinking about our relationships and our connections. In this introduction to this series, we think of the most important connection of all - our connection with Jesus. Do we love Jesus more than anyone and anything else? If we do, he calls us to follow him. First preached: 18th May 2025. Speaker: James McNay.

We were delighted to have Mark Fleming with us for National Sports Sunday. Mark is the National Director for Sports Chaplaincy in Scotland. In this sermon, Mark speaks from Matthew 5 about being salt and light. First preached: 11th May 2025. Speaker: Mark Fleming

In this Sunday Evening sermon, we think about the basics of the gospel and what is most important in our lives - that Jesus died and rose again. First preached: 4th May 225. Speaker: James McNay.

This is our final sermon in Matthew's Gospel. Though Jesus has completed everything that he has to do through his death and resurrection, the story has not ended. Because Jesus gives us a commission to 'Go and make disciples of all nations baptising them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit'. First preached: 4th May 2025. Speaker: James McNay.

In this sermon, we continue our series in Matthew's Gospel and consider the empty tomb. The women who go to the tomb early on the Sunday morning find it empty - and then meet with the risen Jesus. The guards fall into a faint when they see the angel of the Lord and the stone rolled away. After speaking to the priests, they accept a bribe and spread the rumour that Jesus' body was stolen by the dis...

Throughout Holy Week in 2025, we travelled through Matthew 27 as Jesus went to the cross. In this sermon, Jesus is crucified and buried. We think of what this signifies and means for us as sinful humanity.   First preached: 18th April 2025. Speaker: James McNay.

Throughout Holy Week in 2025, we travelled through Matthew 27 as Jesus went to the cross. In this sermon, we think of the mockery that the soldiers show Jesus - despite Jesus being the very Son of God and the Saviour that we need. First preached: 17th April 2025. Speaker: James McNay.

Throughout Holy Week in 2025, we travelled through Matthew 27 as Jesus went to the cross. In this sermon, we think about the choice the crowd made to release Barabbas and not Jesus - and how the innocent took the place of the guilty. First preached: 16th April 2025. Speaker: James McNay.

Throughout Holy Week in 2025, we travelled through Matthew 27 as Jesus went to the cross. In this sermon, we think about the dilemma facing Pontius Pilate who clearly knows that Jesus is innocent. First preached: 15th April 2025. Speaker: James McNay.

Throughout Holy Week in 2025, we travelled through Matthew 27 as Jesus went to the cross. In this sermon, we think about the plight of Judas Iscariot. First preached: 14th April 2025. Speaker: James McNay.

We were delighted to have Rev. Ross Mitchell preaching on Palm Sunday! Here is his message from Matthew 21: 1-11. First preached: 13th April 2025. Speaker: Ross Mitchell.

In this sermon, we see Jesus being falsely accused and condemned by the High Priest and the Council. The priests and elders were unable to see beyond their own power - and saw Jesus as an inconvenience and someone to be got rid of at any cost. We think about how we are to stand for truth - even when it is inconvenient - and how much Jesus went through, just for us. First preached: 30th March 2025....

In this sermon, we think about Jesus being betrayed by Judas. We note how Jesus' demeanour has changed from agony to peace as he centres himself in the Father's will. And we see an example for us in prayer. And we see how amazing it is that Jesus is willing to go through betrayal and desertion as he goes to the cross - something that only he can do - and him alone. First preached: 23rd March 2025....
