Weekly sermons from Rev. Philip Dunwoody, pastor of Dromore Reformed Presbyterian Church, County Down, Northern Ireland.

There is perhaps no less popular biblical truth today than that God is a God of wrath. Here we look more closely at what the Scripture says on this crucial subject:
1. God's Wrath is Real
2. God's Wr…
To be reconciled with God is to:
1. Realise Who We Were

3. Remain - Not Shift - From Where We Are Now
1. God is All-Powerful - What does it Mean?
2 Where do we See it?
3 How Should we Respond to it?
Who is in first place in your life? The apostle Paul teaches the Colossians that no one deserves more pre-eminence in our lives than Jesus Christ.

Sometimes, with the best of intentions, Christians hardly know what to pray. We can be unsure of our words, tired from service, burdened by a trial. Without ever having met the Colossians, however, P…
It seems the more we know of our world, the less we understand it. We can quickly get information, but do we really know the world - or ourselves! - any better?
Here we consider the comforting, convi…
The apostle Paul had never been to the city of Colossae or met any of the believers there - but they already had the most important thing in common: the gospel of Jesus Christ!
As we resume our series thinking about who God is we consider a vital Christian truth: God is one in Being, Three in Person. The doctrine of the Trinity is not a contradiction, but it is a mystery. N…
Psalm 36 highlights a stark contrast between the wickedness of mankind and the steadfast love of the Lord. Lest we become overwhelmed by the former, we must rejoice in the latter!
The only constant in our world today seems to be change! From technology to international relations between nations to our own personal lives, everything seems to be busy blur of changes.
What a comf…
Psalm 35 probably doesn't rank highly on our list of favourite psalms. There are even some lines in it that might cause us to question whether we should sing them! But rightly understood, this is a p…

1. The Simple Nature of the Mission
2. The Strategy for the Mission

Our long journey through Genesis comes to a close with the death of Joseph. But here, in this sad reminder of the impact of sin on the world, we have a great demonstration of faith, a reminder that G…
Christ's work on earth is finished - but his work in heaven today is ongoing, and he will come again to this world one day for the work of judgement.
During our communion season we consider Jesus' sixth word from the cross:
1. A Servant's Tasks Finished
2. A Saviour's Suffering Finished
3. Satan Finished
In John 17:4 Jesus, whilst praying to the Father, utters words similar to those he will soon shout in victory from the cross. Here we consider what it meant for the Father to be glorified by the Son …
