1st Sunday in Advent - Family

29th November 2020. This first Sunday in Advent sees Graham looking at the family, starting as children bound by restrictive rules and laws until the agreed time of our inheritance from our Father. At the right time God sent His son, born of flesh under the law, to free us from the law that we might be adopted as His children — Children of God, heirs with Christ.

God's Good Purposes

22nd November 2020. This week sees the end of Graham's series in the book of Genesis which covers chapters 49 and 50. Jacob blesses his sons and informs them of their futures before he dies. Finally, he instructs them to bury him beside his wife Leah, where Abraham and Sarah, and Isaac and Rebekah are also buried near Mamra in Canaan just before he dies. At the end of the book before Joseph dies he promises the Israelites that God will lead them out of Egypt into the Promised Land.

All Things Together for Good

15th November 2020. Graham continues with his series through Genesis, this week up to chapter 48. Joseph reveals who he is to his brothers and tells them that it was God's plan that he was sold into Egypt and he is able to provide for them during the next five years of famine. So Jacob and his family move to Goshen so that a remnant of Israel would be preserved.

Peace in Our Time

8th November 2020. On this Remembrance Sunday, Graham looks at the words of Jesus as found in John 14, that Jesus has left us a gift — Peace of Mind and Heart which is a gift that the world cannot give, so do not be afraid or troubled by what you see or hear but remember the words of Jesus and that ‘The Prince of Peace' will one day return.

All the Way My Saviour Leads Me

1st November 2020. Rev. Graham Kinloch, continuing through Genesis through to chapter 44, the famine of Joseph's dream is now upon the land so Jacob sends his 10 eldest sons to Egypt to buy grain where he has heard there is plenty. When his brothers bow down before him, Joseph remembers his dream that he had when he was with them. He decides to accuse them of spying unless they fetch Benjamin back with them. So Simeon is imprisoned while the others return home to Jacob as Joseph follows God's plan to reunite him with his father and brothers in Egypt.

The Lord Goes with His People

25th October 2020. After a refreshing break, Graham is back and continuing with Genesis and has now reached chapters 39 to 41. Joseph, now a slave in Egypt, has been sold to Potiphar. After he ends up in prison due to the lies of Potiphar's wife, the prison warden puts Joseph in charge of the all the prisoners. Eventually due to his ability to interpret dreams through God, Pharaoh trusts him and his God so much that he puts Joseph in charge of the whole of Egypt.
