It was a special blessing to have Pastor Les Hill, from Dublin, visit today to preach with me on Princes St. in Edinburgh.

The sermon emphasizes that the Christian life is characterized by a supernatural power that transcends natural ability, arguing that this generation requires visible testimony rather than intellectual argument. Drawing primarily from Hebrews 11 and Psalm 18, the message defines faith as a fierce, active trust that moves believers beyond their limitations and into the promises of God. It highlights that true faith results in a transformed character and a life that brings glory to God, serving as a compelling witness to a skeptical culture. The speaker encourages listeners to abandon reliance on their own strength or past failures and instead lay hold of God's power to live a life of purpose and divine influence.

Ecclesiastes 8:10

How Important Is It? How Important Is It To Hear Him? Why Is It So Essential? He is the Prophet. He is the Promise. He is the Priority. He is the Purpose. Hear Him!

Through Him, God has spoken with absolute authority, and every individual is accountable for how they respond to His Word. To genuinely hear Jesus is to give Him our attention, our affection, and the aim of our lives. Refusing His voice means allowing something else to govern us. In Acts 3, Peter reveals the greatest blessing Jesus came to provide: turning sinners from their iniquities and bringing them into fellowship with God. Salvation is not simply about improving our circumstances but transforming our relationship with God through repentance and faith in Christ. Acts 4 demonstrates how the early church experienced great power and great grace as believers submitted themselves to the Savior, stood upon the Scriptures, and depended upon the Holy Spirit. Their strength was not found in their natural abilities but in their willingness to yield themselves to God's purpose. Their mouths, their message, and their ministry a

Jesus calls his people to love their enemies and pray for those who persecute them. In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins explains how Christians can seek peace where possible, speak the truth in love, and refuse revenge. He also considers how forgiveness relates to trust, reconciliation, and wise boundaries. Our starting point is the mercy God showed us in Christ while we were still his enemies.
