Sermons From Aberdeen Christian Fellowship

In 1 Kings 10:1-29, Vijay Pillai examines how Solomon's wealth and prosperity, while impressive, ultimately left him feeling empty and unfulfilled. He encourages us to seek true contentment and fulfilment in God rather than material possessions.

Join us in this powerful sermon by James as he delves into the profound significance of 2 Chronicles 5:1-7:22. Exploring the awe-inspiring event of the Ark of the Covenant being brought to the newly constructed temple, James highlights the overwhelming presence of God and the importance of seeking His favor through worship, prayer, obedience, and repentance. Discover the timeless message of God's mercy and forgiveness, and how it relates to our lives today.

Continuing the series Solomon’s Story, Vijay looks 1 Kings 5—6 and considers what we might learn from Solomon’s Work when he builds the Temple. Although the Temple represents an opportunity for Solomon to make God the centre of Israel’s worship, the compromise that he introduces eventually leads to the split of Israel and the exile of Judah. God is pleased more by our obedience than the impressiveness of our work.

Derek talks to us about Solomon's Wisdom, referencing 1 Kings 3:1-28. He encourages us to have a teachable spirit, use the gifts God has given us wisely, seek God's guidance in decision making, and to know God personally.

Vijay begins a new series title, ‘Solomon’s Story: Searching for Satisfaction’. He tells us of the events that surrounded Solomon’s ascent to the throne in 1 Kings 1-2. Solomon is shrewd in consolidating power. But his shrewdness for gaining political dominance seems to come at the expense of his commitment to an obedience to the Law of God. It is this background that will inform the reflections on power that we find in the Book of Ecclesiastes. 

Cheri talks to us about the importance of discerning influences in our lives and how they can impact our faith. She references 1 Thessalonians 5:12-29 and encourages us to test everything and hold onto what is good. Just as the early church in Thessalonica became a model to all believers, we too can become a model to those around us by spurring each other on towards greater faith, love, and holiness.

Florence talks to us about the importance of being spiritually awake and alert, especially in light of the uncertain times we live in. Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11, Florence urges us to live as children of the light, to put on faith, love, and hope as our spiritual armor, and to encourage one another in our Christian journey. As we run the race of faith, let us keep our eyes fixed on the prize and spur each other on to persevere in the faith.

Malcolm's sermon on 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 emphasizes the comfort Christians can find in the promise of resurrection when facing death. He encourages listeners to take heart in the hope of new life and the reunion of believers when Jesus returns.
