They Went Everywhere Preaching – Sermon by Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

A Sermon on Acts 8:4

Philip Proclaims Christ in Samaria

Now those who were scattered went about preaching the word. (ESV)

Christianity began as a small movement in a vast, often hostile Roman Empire. How did it grow? What factors contributed to it eventually becoming the dominant religion of the empire? Moreover, what may we learn from them as our culture reverts back to a hostile pagan one? Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones highlights the vital importance of men like Peter, Paul, and the other apostles as they preached the good news around the empire. Interestingly, he notes the role persecution played in the spread of the Gospel. However, Dr. Lloyd-Jones specifically points to the witness and testimony of ordinary members of the Christian church as being a means God regularly uses to spread the truth about Christ. His text is Acts 8:4, but Dr. Lloyd-Jones comments on how often the Holy Spirit uses ordinary Christians to preach the Word. He emphasizes that the spread of the Gospel comes by the preaching of the Word, not just talking about ourselves. We must consider today how God has used ordinary men and women in ordinary conversation preaching the extraordinary message of Christ to evangelize the world. Listen as Dr. Lloyd-Jones teaches us why “gossiping” the Gospel is of such great importance.

David Gourley at Towerview Church Bangor

It was a privilege and great joy for my family and I to be invited by the Reverend Kathie & Dr Ivan Filby to spend a morning with the family of God who meet at Towerview Church Bangor.

Having the opportunity to share God’s heart and great desire for his children to share their stories of conversion and ongoing stories their lives lived in fellowship with him, our Great God and Saviour Jesus Christ was a wonderful blessing.

If you would like to invite me to come to your own church/fellowship/small group or even personally to share the burden and message that the Lord has given me to encourage the family of God with please get in touch. I’d love to hear your story too.

May the Lord bless us all.

Keeping the Unity of the Spirit – a sermon from Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Do you ever struggle to get along with a brother or sister in Christ? Conflict is an ongoing part of life today, just as it was for the church at Ephesus. This challenging message by Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones opens Paul’s letter to the Ephesians and address how Believers can live in unity and peace. Rather than ignore sin or avoid confrontation, we must quickly exhort and forgive one another, guarding the unity of the Spirit, and guarding the fellowship of believers. This is supernatural unity that can only belong to those indwelt with the Spirit. Therefore, to not guard this unity is actually a grievance to the Holy Spirit. So how can we guard our Holy Spirit unity? Lloyd-Jones proclaims that being humble, gentle, patient, and bearing with one another are critical characteristics of believing relationships. We must do this because we love one another and we desire to guard our unity. Just as parents humbly serve and instruct their children with patience and gentleness, we must do the same thing with our brothers and sisters in Christ. This sermon will be a great encouragement to your personal fellowship with the church body.

The Testimony of Mary Peckham

Isle of Lewis Revival Eyewitness Testimony

Mary Peckham vividly recounts her wayward teenage years and how God’s visitation in her native Island of Lewis radically changed her. She recounts the buzz and excitement of the revival among the people and how “there was such an atmosphere of God”. “The sense of time was gone,” she recollected and testified how cottage prayer meetings became holy ground–“every step of the stairs became a pew.” She shares some eyewitness accounts of Duncan Campbell and stirs the heart to long for more of God.
