I don’t know if you have seen the movie “catch me if you can”? It’s about a man born in the USA called Frank Abagnale. He was a famous impostor. During five years in the 1960’s Abagnale forged checks in 26 different countries around the world to a value of $2.5 million. But as he was doing this he also masqueraded as a teacher, airline pilot, Doctor and a lawyer. He forged university certificated

All The Scriptures has been lying dormant for quite a while, but I'm pleased to announce that it's now being resurrected. When it was originally launched, the vision was for a site for preachers to share their insights and sermons, and provide some helpful constructive criticism. That is still the focus of All The Scriptures, and we're currently recruiting several more to the team of

Over the coming months, we're hoping to be able to provide sermon audio from Dundonald. As a test run, here's the mp3 file of my first sermon (as curate) in the parish. Feedback on the sermon, as well as the format will be greatly appreciated.The sermon was entitled 'A Promising Start' - an exposition of 1 Samuel 11:1-15, looking at the beginning of Saul's reign as King of Israel. 080810pm 1

After a lengthy break, we're back with this blog again. All the Scriptures will continue to provide sermon outlines, sermons, and in the near future, sermon audio as well.

Sometimes it is necessary to tailor the message to the congregation and their expectations / needs. For example, if a congregation is not used to lengthy exposition, then perhaps a slightly shorter sermon will be received better than a longer one where they fail to take it in. The following was preached at an early morning Holy Communion service, where the normal expectation is under five minutes

I have used the structure of John Chapman in 'Setting Hearts on Fire'. I have preached this sermon with a different introduction and different illustrations... obviously football, and more especially Liverpool are not everyones cup of tea. Maybe this is something for discussion in the comments section.................................................................................................

As noted in the previous posting, Stan and me recently preached on the same passage at the same time in different parishes. Over the weekend, we'll hopefully get Stan's sermon here too! Mine was preached in Magheralin, and the text is Luke 24:13-35.--- --- Have you ever been disappointed with God? You thought things would all be great when you started out with Jesus. But then bad things happen.

It's always interesting to see how different people approach and preach the same text. Perhaps using a different introduction sets the direction and aim of the sermon in completely different ways. Or the use of illustrations helps aid the understanding.On All The Scriptures we're going to see this in action. Both Stanley and myself are preaching this Sunday night. The passage is Luke 24:13-35 -

This month saw the visit of the world renowned Anglican Evangelist John Chapman to Dublin. Chapo is passionate about helping preachers preach the scriptures so that peoples hearts are set on fire. His book on preaching evangelistic sermons, Setting Hearts on Fire can be found here. One his evangelistic sermons can be found at the Crinken Church of Ireland website. There you will also find sermons

My other sermon from Daniel so far. This was originally preached on 19th November 2006.Idols are all around us. The cult of the celebrity is everywhere – on tv, in newspapers, and on the internet. Just think of the X-factor, or Pop Idol. What about the crowds that flocked yesterday to get a glimpse of Tom Cruise at his wedding? However, it’s not just celebrities who claim our allegiance and

In today's confused world, love, sex and marriage are understood in radically different ways. Is there any guidance from God on these important issues? The team at the Irish Church Missions believe that there is, and its found in the Bible. At the following link, you will find clear and edifying talks from Eddie Coulter, Dave Martin and Sean Martin.http://www.icm-online.ie/sermons.html

In these days of celebrity exposure on tv and magazines, we’re all too familiar with the fall from grace. Someone who was popular, or important, or influential does something or says something, and suddenly, they are dropped, ignored and forgotten. Think of Kate Moss, after the drugs scandal, or Jade Goody after her alleged racism on Big Brother. They’re out in the wilderness, and their position

I wonder if we have any fools here today? You may not like to admit it – no one likes to be called a fool, after all. And yet, the Bible talks about fools quite a lot – especially in the Psalms and Proverbs. In Psalm 14, we read ‘The fool says in his heart, “There is no God”’ (Ps 14:1).Now you might be thinking that that can’t apply to you – you know there’s a God. But do you always remember

So here goes on the first sermon on the site. Preached last Sunday in Dromore Cathedral.America and Britain should get out of Iraq immediately. That is the opinion of some observers, who think that the activities of the two countries are a form of empire building – seeking to extend their power and authority. It is a big question, after all, although perhaps more so for America than Britain, as

Ok, so we have two writers so far, but no sermons... are we just afraid to commit our 'children' to the critical processes? Or are we just so busy in the college environs that we haven't been able to post yet?I do promise, though, that I will start to transfer my back catalogue over to this site - one a week, to enable a bit of reflection and discussion - rather than swamping the site all in one

As we start to gather momentum on the blog, and others join the team, so we'll hopefully see an increase in the number of sermons etc.One of the main aims of our blog is to share sermons we have written. Mainly, this will be in the form of written texts or notes - which, we admit, are slightly different to the finished, spoken sermon. But we want to encourage feedback, so that together we can

Hello and welcome to this new blog - a new venture in team blogging!The vision for this blog has arisen from some student ministers meeting together in a small group for preaching and prayer. This blog will be a space to share sermons, and to contribute thoughts on the Scriptures.The name has come from Luke 24:'He said to them, "How foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the
