Dromore RP Church - Sermons

We don't take any great pleasure in talking about it, but human beings live with the reality that we will die. For the believer, the Bible shows us that there is a way to die well - testifying to our…

Having considered previously why we sing the Psalms, here we consider how they ought to be sung; worship is always about our heart as well as our lips.

Jacob gathers his twelve sons together for the final time. In the midst of great blessing promised for them - especially Judah and Joseph - he also warns them of difficulties they will have to endure…

For most of church history the question of what the church should sing during corporate worship was not a question! Today, however, it is a much-debated one. Here we consider some of the reasons why …

Hebrews 11:21 highlights Jacob's faith in the face of death as worthy of emulation. Before the end of his life Jacob calls his son, Joseph, and his grandsons to his bedside, testifying to the care an…

Church discipline is not a particularly popular subject and not very widely practised in the wider Christian world. Yet it is a crucially important principle, one that King Jesus expects His Church t…

Joseph was the man God raised up for a time of crisis, providing for the needs of hungry nations. He was also the son God provided for aged Jacob to shepherd him toward the end of his life. Once more…

Christianity - and other major religions - are often dismissed in Western culture as being different versions of the same thing, one no better than another. Is that really an accurate assessment?

One of the most beloved accounts of Jesus appearing after his resurrection is also the most personal. He is a Saviour for unknown, ordinary people. He gives us eye to see him and hearts alive with lo…

Genesis 46 would probably be overlooked in a list of journeys that changed history - but it did. The far more famous Exodus from Egypt only happened because Israel - Jacob - went down to Egypt many y…

Even King Solomon, one of the wealthiest kings who ever lived, wondered about life's purpose. Do you?

Joseph sends his brothers back to Canaan on a mission: to bring their father and families back to Joseph in Egypt. Though this was perhaps a daunting task, Joseph provided them with everything they n…

Continuing our series on our beliefs and practices as a denomination, here we consider the question, "What happens when we come to The Lord's Table?"

Judah and Joseph: two brothers who lived long ago. But in this passage, each of them, in different ways, points forward to a son of Judah who would one day come, a Saviour required and a Saviour who …

Whilst not yet revealing his identity to them, Joseph warmly welcomes his brothers and sits them down at a feast in his home. The joyful scene is a great picture for Christians of the eternity of ble…

Joseph's brothers finally stand (and bow) before him, 20 years after they sold him into slavery. But they don't yet recognise him, and Joseph is determined to test them. We cannot fully receive all t…

One of the most common pictures in the Bible is of the needy soul thirsting for life. Do you thirst for God? Jesus invites all who do to come to him in faith.

During our communion season we consider Christ's fifth word from the cross, "I thirst", revealing to us the depths of his humanity and the depths of his suffering - and yet, his unflinching desire to…

Psalm 69 is quoted several times in the New Testament, where it is understood in light of Christ's death and resurrection. John 19:28 tells us that the words of this psalm, specifically verse 21, wer…
