Sermon Notes

The following are the sermon notes from recent sermons in our church. Please remember that, although they are fairly full scripts, they were originally produced as sermon plans, not essays, and therefore they are not necessarily grammatically or syntactically correct! They also lack footnotes for quotes taken from the various books used in preparation. We hope you find them useful and thought-provoking.

This year we have been taking part in the E100 Bible Reading Challenge and all but one of the sermon notes are here. The Challenge is based around 100 carefully selected Bible readings (50 from the Old Testament and 50 from the New Testament) designed to give participants a good understanding of the overall Bible story from Genesis to Revelation. The 'E' stands for Essential and each of the Essential 100 readings ranges from a few verses to a few chapters. Click the link for more information on the E100 Bible Reading Challenge (opens in new window or tab) and take part yourself!

The main Commentary that Iain used for both the Matthew and Esther series was the appropriate Word Biblical Commentary.

The files are in either MS Word or pdf format: if you need a pdf reader you can download it free here.
