On Sunday evening (6th August), Rev. James MacIver preached the 21st and final sermon in his series on The Life of Simon Peter. This study, entitled 'Peter's Final Exhortation' looked in particular at 2 Peter 3, where the author is reminding the recipients to be steadfast in the face of scoffers who will cast doubt upon the promises of God.

Peter counters the scoffers by telling that salvation is based upon facts, and upon events which actually took place, events to which he himself was an eyewitness (2 Peter 1:16-18). Crucially, he reminds his audience in chapter 1 so that they will cling to the foundational truths and not be led into apostasy.

Air feasgar Diciadain (3mh Lunastal) san t-Seamanaraidh, shearmonaich an t-Urr.Seumas MacIomhair air Ròm.1:1 -5.

Shamhlaich Mgr.MacIomhair an leabhar seo ri botal champagne – nuair a dh’ fhosglas tu e, tha na tha na bhroinn (ie teachdaireachd an leabhair) a’ brùchdadh a-mach sa chiad leth-dusan paragrafan.

Bha Pòl an seo a’dèanamh trì nithean soilleir:
- Gun deach Soisgeul Dhè a ghealltainn le fhàidhean fhèin;
- Gur ann mu thimcheall a’ Mhac-san a tha Soisgeul Dhè;
- Gur e adhbhar agus brìgh an t-Soisgeul Criosd a ghlòireachadh.

At the Wednesday (2nd Aug) prayer meeting, Rev.Kenny I. MacLeod continued his study on the Whole Armour of God (Ephesians 6:10 -20). He focused particularly on verses 18 – 20, where the believer is urged to pray ‘at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication.’

The Word of God and prayer are inseparable for the believer. There can be no spiritual growth for a Christian who does not pray, read the Word and meditate upon it. Mr MacLeod said, ‘true prayer begins in Heaven and ends in Heaven’, which is to say that it is motivated by the Spirit, it takes place in the Spirit and is heard, finally, in Heaven.
