Advent Sunday

30/11/2025

Preacher: Ian Hardcastle [Texts: Isaiah 2:1-5; Romans 13:11-14; Matthew 24:36-44]
Advent directs our attention to the Second Coming of Christ. The passage from Isaiah describes the righteous rule of Christ on earth. In the Gospel reading, Jesus warns that no one knows the time of his return except the Father but emphasises that we should be ready. The Letter to the Romans helps us understand how we should live being ready for the return of our Lord.

8/12/2024

Preacher: Ian Hardcastle [Luke 21:25-36; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; Isaiah 65:17-25]
These three readings give us three 'jigsaw pieces' of the big picture of the last things. Here we hear Jesus' words about events leading up to his return, Paul's understanding of the second coming and Isaiah's vision of life under the perfect rule of Christ.

Understanding the Times sermon

13/11/2022

Preacher: Ian Hardcastle [Texts: Luke 21:5-19; 1 Timothy 2:1-6]

In the gospel, Jesus gives an overview of history leading up to the Second Coming. He warned his followers of two dangers: (1) false teachers preaching false hope and (2) giving way to fear at the thought of what is to come. In today's service we explore this passage with material supplied by Barnabas Aid.
