Reformed, Evangelical, Protestant. Preaching the Gospel and Teaching God's Word in a Fallen World.
Clogher Valley Free Presbyterian Audio Ministry
This psalm captures the raw, honest cry of a soul in deep night-time anguish, where despair, doubt, and a sense of divine abandonment overwhelm the believer. Through a journey from lament to faith, the speaker moves from questioning God's mercy and faithfulness to remembering God's past wonders and sovereign power, culminating in a profound realization of God's presence even in the storm. The turning point comes not in the absence of pain, but in shifting focus from inward despair to the eternal faithfulness of God, who leads His people through trials as surely as He did through the Red Sea. The psalm ultimately affirms that God's character—marked by grace, power, and covenant loyalty—remains unshaken, and that even in the darkest hours, the believer is held by a faithful Shepherd. This journey from weeping to worship reflects the redemptive arc of the Christian life: suffering leads not to abandonment, but to deeper trust in a God whose ways are in the sanctuary and whose mercy endures forever.
Title: The Only Message for Our World (1) Speaker: Rev. Peter McIntyre Series: The Only Message for Our World Date: 2 November 2025 Bible: Isaiah 61:1-3; Luke 4:16-21 The sermon centres on Isaiah 61:1–3 as the definitive message the world and every individual desperately need—the gospel of redemption, healing, and liberation through Christ. It emphasises that this message, proclaimed by the Spirit-anointed Messiah, is not merely historical but dynamically present, fulfilling Christ's declaration in Luke 4:21 that the Scripture is fulfilled in the hearers' ears. The sermon highlights how Christ's ministry of healing the brokenhearted, freeing captives, and restoring sight is rooted in spiritual transformation, not merely physical or emotional relief, and is extended through the Church's ongoing mission empowered by the Holy Spirit. It underscores that believers, anointed with the Spirit of power, love, and sound mind, are called to continue Christ's work with authority and compassion, bearing lasting fruit by proclaiming salvation to all. Ultimately, the message is one of hope: the gospel alone can heal the deepest wounds of sin, restore joy from mourning, and transform lives into living testimonies of God's righteousness and glory.
The sermon centres on the essential truth that salvation is not achieved through human effort or self-righteousness, but is a divine gift of righteousness and joy received through faith in Christ alone. Drawing from the parable of the wedding feast in Matthew 22 and the imagery of garments in Isaiah 61, it emphasizes that the wedding garment—symbolizing the righteousness of Christ—is not earned but divinely provided, covering the sinner's guilt and corruption. The sermon underscores that human attempts to clothe oneself in moral achievement or religious performance (the 'fig leaves' of self-effort) are insufficient before a holy God, and only the blood-stained, seamless robe of Christ, purchased through His sacrificial death, can secure eternal acceptance. This garment brings not only forgiveness and cleansing but also deep, soul-level joy rooted in a personal relationship with God, assuring believers that nothing—neither loss nor suffering—can separate them from the love of God in Christ. Ultimately, the gospel is presented as the power of God for salvation, revealing His righteousness and calling all to come, not in their own garments, but in the perfect covering of Christ, so that they may be prepared for the eternal marriage supper of the Lamb.
The sermon centres on the urgent call to faith in Jesus Christ, drawing from John 3:16–18 to emphasise that salvation is available through belief in the Son of God, while unbelief results in immediate condemnation. It underscores the gravity of rejecting Christ—not as a mere moral failing, but as a legal and spiritual verdict rooted in the refusal to trust in Him as the sole Savior. The preacher highlights the profound love of God in sending His Son not to condemn, but to save, yet stresses that the consequence of unbelief is not future judgment alone, but present condemnation due to the rejection of Christ's name. Through vivid imagery of justice, mercy, and the finality of divine judgment, the message calls listeners to recognize their need for a new birth, repent of their spiritual pride, and embrace Christ alone for salvation. The tone is both pastoral and urgent, combining deep theological conviction with heartfelt appeal, inviting every hearer to respond in faith before the day of judgment arrives.
The sermon, delivered on the anniversary of the Protestant Reformation, uses the letter to the church at Ephesus in Revelation 2 as a powerful call to spiritual renewal, warning that even a church marked by diligent labor, doctrinal purity, and steadfast faith can fall into spiritual deadness when its first love for Christ is lost. The preacher emphasises that strong convictions—whether in service, orthodoxy, or perseverance—can become a substitute for genuine devotion, leading to a cold heart that performs duties without joy or intimacy. Drawing from the Ephesian church's decline, he illustrates how love for Christ wanes gradually, marked by diminished delight in prayer, Scripture, and fellowship, and replaced by worldly distractions and self-centered priorities. The remedy is not mere guilt but a divine call to remember one's spiritual beginnings, repent sincerely, and actively return to the foundational practices of devotion, which alone can restore the vibrant relationship with Christ. Ultimately, the message is a sobering yet hopeful exhortation for personal, family, and ecclesiastical reformation, rooted in the conviction that nothing is more essential than loving Christ above all else.
The sermon centres on the enduring promise of God's presence—'I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee'—as the foundation for Christian contentment, companionship, and courage. Drawing from Hebrews 13, it emphasizes that true contentment is not rooted in material circumstances but in the unchanging presence of Christ, who freely gives all things through His grace. This divine companionship, illustrated through biblical figures like Joshua, Moses, Jacob, and David, is portrayed as personal, perpetual, and unshakable, offering assurance amid life's trials and the world's turmoil. The preacher underscores that this confidence in God's faithfulness empowers believers to face fear, adversity, and responsibility with boldness, knowing that God's help is sufficient and His promises are new every day. Ultimately, the message calls for a life of joyful surrender, where contentment in Christ leads to a fearless, purposeful walk with God, marked by gratitude, faith, and unwavering trust in His sovereign care.
Title: Luther's Pilgrimage of Faith; The Power of Personal Testimony Speaker: Rev. Peter McIntyre Date: 26 October 2025 Bible: Romans 1:17 This sermon centres on the transformative power of a personal testimony, exemplified through Martin Luther's journey from spiritual despair to profound faith, rooted in Romans 1:17—the just shall live by faith. It traces Luther's early life burdened by fear of a wrathful God, his rigorous monastic efforts to attain peace through works, and his eventual breakthrough upon studying Scripture in Wittenberg, where he discovered salvation by grace through faith alone. The sermon emphasizes that true righteousness comes not through church rituals or personal merit, but through a direct, personal relationship with Christ, who bore humanity's sin and imputes His righteousness. This revelation—what Luther called the 'great exchange'—liberates believers from legalism and invites all to experience the gospel's life-changing power. The tone is both pastoral and urgent, calling listeners to examine their own hearts and embrace the same faith that freed Luther, urging them to know God personally and share that testimony with boldness.
Title: The Man for Every Millennium; Martin Luther and Christ's Eternal Gospel Speaker: Rev. Peter McIntyre Date: 26 October 2025 Bible: Ezekiel 33:7; Psalm 78 The sermon centres on the enduring significance of Christ as the 'man for every millennium,' exemplified through Martin Luther's Reformation, which restored the gospel's core truths: salvation by faith alone, the authority of Scripture, the priesthood of all believers, and the personal relationship with God. Drawing from Ezekiel 33 and Psalm 78, it emphasizes the church's role as a watchman, called to warn and proclaim the unchanging gospel amid spiritual darkness and cultural decline. The historical narrative traces the oppressive conditions of the medieval church—spiritual and intellectual darkness, the suppression of Scripture, and the denial of personal faith—before Luther's courageous stand at Worms, which ignited a revival that liberated conscience, empowered Scripture, and transformed nations. The sermon calls for ongoing personal and corporate reformation, urging believers to treasure God's Word, speak truth boldly, pray for revival, and remain faithful witnesses in a world increasingly hostile to biblical truth, affirming that Christ's gospel remains the only hope for individuals and nations alike.
"Where There Is No Vision" – Proverbs 29:18 This message reminds us that true vision isn't about mystical experiences or personal dreams — it's about seeing life through the light of God's revealed Word. Without that vision, people don't just lose direction; they lose life itself. Christ is the ultimate revelation of God — the One who gave Himself on the cross so we could be forgiven and free. Through Him, we have direct access to God, not through rituals or intermediaries, but by faith alone. The call is clear: hear God's Word, turn from sin, and live with eternity in view. Let the gospel open your eyes and change your heart.
True fulfillment isn't found in wealth or success, but in a deep relationship with God. From 1 Timothy 6, this message reveals that "godliness with contentment is great gain." Discontentment stems from separation from God, while true contentment flows from a heart transformed by the Holy Spirit—marked by gratitude, trust, and surrender. Like Paul, we can find peace, joy, and freedom in every circumstance through Christ, discovering that the greatest gain in life is simply knowing and resting in Him.
Harvest Thanksgiving 2025 #2 with Rev Garth Wilson
HARVEST 2025 #1 with Rev Stephen Greer The Kingdom of God started small — like a mustard seed — but it will fill the earth. Don't despise humble beginnings. Christ's rule is advancing, His truth unstoppable, His return sure. Believe, repent, and take your stand in the Kingdom that cannot be shaken.
Godliness isn't optional—it's our calling. This week's message from Psalm 37 reminds us that a godly life is a steady walk ordered by God, shaped by His Word, and sustained by His grace. True godliness isn't just for "religious professionals." It's the identity of every believer—those being transformed into the likeness of Christ day by day. Even when we stumble through sin or trial, God holds us up. His Word in our hearts keeps our steps firm. Let's be people who live Scripture—not just read it. Now is the time to pursue godliness through daily devotion, prayer, and obedience. #Godliness #Psalm37 #Christlikeness #FaithWalk #Transformation
Isaiah 60:8 presents a prophetic vision of the world's joyful and sudden convergence upon Christ, depicted as clouds and doves flying to their windows—a powerful image of divine revival, global evangelization, and the church's open, welcoming mission. The passage reveals a transformative reality in which the Gentiles, once enemies, now build up the walls of Jerusalem, symbolizing the New Testament church's expansion and unity across nations, races, and cultures. This vision calls believers to faith-filled prayer, active witness, and personal holiness, affirming that God's Spirit still moves with sudden, sweeping power to awaken the world and renew individual hearts. The sermon emphasizes that Christ's redemptive work is both cosmic and personal—extending from global transformation to the individual soul's need for salvation and sanctification—and challenges the church to embody an open, Spirit-empowered, and unified witness. Ultimately, the question is not merely who these multitudes are, but whether each person present is among them, flying home to Christ, transformed by grace, and committed to His eternal purpose.
John 19:30 - "It is Finished" Sunday Evening Worship
The sermon draws from Moses' final blessing in Deuteronomy 33, presenting a profound meditation on God's all-encompassing presence as the foundation of Israel's hope and identity. Centered on the climactic benediction from verses 26 to 29, it unfolds God's eternal, intimate, and sovereign nature—above, beneath, before, with, and within His people—offering comfort and assurance amid life's uncertainties. Through vivid imagery of divine protection, provision, and presence, the message affirms that God is not only the ruler of heaven and earth but also the ever-present refuge who stoops to lift up the broken, guide the future, and dwell within believers. The preacher emphasizes that this same God, who sustained Israel, is the living reality for the Church today, surpassing even Moses' ministry through the incarnate, ever-abiding presence of Christ, who is the ultimate fulfillment of every promise and the source of unshakable joy and security.
The sermon centers on the profound theological significance of the tearing of the temple veil at Christ's death, presenting it as a divine, irreversible act that symbolizes the complete and final access to God made possible through Christ's sacrificial death. Drawing from Matthew 27 and Hebrews 10, it emphasizes that the veil—representing humanity's separation from God due to sin—was torn from top to bottom by God's power, not human effort, signifying that Christ's atonement has fulfilled the Old Testament system of priestly mediation and sacrificial offerings once and for all. The message is clear: salvation is not achieved through rituals, intermediaries, or human works, but solely through faith in Christ's finished work, which opens a new and living way into God's presence. The preacher calls listeners to respond in repentance and faith, urging them to live in continual communion with God and to face death with the confident expectation of eternal fellowship with Christ in heaven, where the veil is no longer needed.
The sermon centers on the transformative power of a single, compassionate look from Jesus Christ, drawing from Psalm 119:132 and the Gospels to illustrate how God's gaze—marked by mercy, grace, and love—can initiate salvation, restore the broken, and transform lives. It emphasises that this look is not earned but freely given, rooted in divine mercy that surpasses human deserving, and is accessible only through genuine repentance and faith. Through vivid biblical examples—from the woman with the issue of blood to Peter's denial and the crucifixion—the preacher reveals Christ's enduring compassion, even in judgment, and calls listeners to respond with humility, recognizing their need for forgiveness. The message is both urgent and hopeful: God's merciful look is available now, in this day of grace, and it is the decisive moment of conversion for the sinner who turns in faith. Ultimately, the sermon affirms that salvation comes not by works, but by the grace of God revealed in Christ's sacrifice, inviting all to cry out, 'Lord, look upon me and be merciful.'
The sermon presents a biblically grounded vision of heaven drawn from Revelation 21 and 22, emphasizing its eternal joy, absence of suffering, and the centrality of Christ as the source of all hope and fulfillment. It portrays heaven not as a mere escape from earthly pain, but as the ultimate destination where believers will experience unending fellowship with God and one another, free from curse, death, sorrow, and division. Through a reflective letter from heaven, the message calls Christians to live with urgent faith, assured of their eternal home, while urgently inviting the unconverted to repent and place their trust in Christ before it is too late. The tone is both comforting and convicting, rooted in Scripture, and designed to inspire steadfastness in the Christian life with the reality of eternity ever present.
Title: The Visitation of Christ to Needy Souls Speaker: John McNeill Date: 28 September 2025 Bible: John 4:1-19; John 4:29
Sunday Evening Worship Speaker - Rodney Davidson 28/09/25 PM
Hell is real, and the Bible describes it as a place of darkness—a result of God's justice and of rejecting Christ. Scripture reminds us that eternal separation from God means hopelessness, but the Gospel offers light and life. Jesus took that darkness upon Himself so that we might be saved. The call is clear: turn to Christ, repent, and walk in the light before it's too late.
Title: Jesus - Always The Same Speaker: Rev. John Morrow Date: 21 September 2025 Bible: Hebrews 13:5-8
The sermon reflects on the biblical story of David fleeing from Saul and gathering a faithful band of followers in the cave of Adullam, highlighting its connection to the call for loyalty to Christ. It points out that, like David, Jesus was despised and rejected, yet he offers peace, forgiveness, and true purpose to all who come to him weary, burdened, or disillusioned. The message ultimately urges listeners to recognize their need for Christ, accept his sacrifice as the full payment for their debts, and devote their lives to him as the rightful King—discovering in him lasting contentment and a purpose that rises above earthly ambitions.
This sermon draws from Luke 16's account of the rich man and Lazarus, confronting us with the sobering truth that earthly wealth is fleeting, but eternal destiny is unchanging. The rich man lived in luxury, yet in death faced torment and regret, while Lazarus, once despised and destitute, found everlasting comfort in Abraham's bosom. The message is clear: death is not the end—it is the doorway to either judgment or rest with the Lord. The warning is urgent: do not waste the opportunities of this life. No amount of riches, success, or comfort can secure your soul. Only faith in Jesus Christ brings salvation and true wealth that endures beyond the grave. To neglect Him is to choose eternal loss; to embrace Him is to inherit eternal life.
God's Unanswered Question The sermon emphasizes the urgency of responding to the gospel of Jesus Christ, warning against the danger of neglecting God's offer of salvation. Drawing from Hebrews 1 and 2, the message highlights the unparalleled nature of this salvation, purchased through Christ's sacrifice, and underscores the responsibility placed upon hearers to heed the call. It cautions against the ease of neglecting this opportunity, leading to a woeful predicament with no escape from God's wrath, ultimately urging listeners to embrace Christ as their savior and secure their eternal destiny, lest they find themselves facing a lost eternity.
The sermon centres on the story of the rich young ruler, emphasising that possessing outward righteousness and material wealth does not guarantee spiritual fulfilment or access to eternal life. Drawing from Mark's Gospel, the message underscores the importance of personal faith in Jesus Christ as the sole path to salvation, cautioning against prioritising worldly possessions and fleeting opportunities over a lasting relationship with God. The preacher encourages listeners to embrace the opportunity to trust in Christ, highlighting that while God loves all people, a personal commitment to Him is essential for entering into eternal life, and warning against the tragic consequences of rejecting His offer of grace.
Ballygawley Gospel Mission The testimony recounts a personal journey of faith, beginning with childhood memories of family traditions centered around the Bible and culminating in a renewed commitment to Christ. It explores themes of conviction, backsliding, and ultimately, redemption, emphasizing the transformative power of faith and the importance of choosing wisely, both in life and in relationships. Drawing on a narrative about a man in India who faced persecution for his faith, the message challenges listeners to consider their own spiritual choices and to actively share the gospel, highlighting the enduring grace of God and the profound impact of unwavering belief, even in the face of adversity.
Lost… but Welcomed Home. This week's message looks at the Prodigal Son in Luke 15—a story of rebellion, regret, and amazing grace. We see a father's heart break as his son walks away, and then overflow with compassion when he returns. It's a picture of God's unconditional love—always ready to forgive, always ready to welcome us back, no matter how far we've wandered. It's never too late for a fresh start. Will you come home to Him?
Title: Sunday Morning Worship - Grace; The Rainbow Around the Throne Speaker: Rev. Peter McIntyre Date: 31 August 2025 Bible: Revelation 4:1-4 This sermon focuses on the theme of grace, pictured in Revelation as the rainbow surrounding God's throne. Grace is presented as the very foundation of salvation, bringing comfort and strength to believers. The message highlights that grace is not earned but freely given by God through Jesus Christ. It calls us to respond with humility, sincere faith, and true discipleship—rejecting the idea of "cheap grace." Instead, we are urged to seek a deeper walk with God through repentance and by living out the gospel in daily life.
"Conviction without Conversion" Felix listened to Paul. He trembled… but he waited. And in waiting, he missed the moment. So many today feel stirred by truth, even moved by God's Word — yet delay making the step of faith. The sermon warns us: tomorrow is not promised. God's grace is offered now. Don't wait for a "convenient season" that may never come.

The Magnitude of God's Love - John 3:16-21 27/08/2025
Where does God stand in relation to your life? - Rev. John Morrow The sermon explores the biblical account of the Laodiceans, emphasizing God's persistent invitation for individuals to open their hearts and embrace salvation. It highlights the danger of spiritual complacency and self-deception, contrasting the Laodiceans' perceived riches with their true spiritual poverty. Drawing from Revelation 3, the message underscores God's unwavering presence and compassionate knocking, urging listeners to recognize their need for Christ and to respond with faith, promising a transformative relationship and eternal life for those who do.
"Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth." The sermon cautions against the folly of boasting about tomorrow, emphasizing the importance of seizing the present moment for spiritual growth and salvation. Drawing parallels to historical events like the Titanic and biblical figures like Pharaoh and Felix, the message underscores the dangers of procrastination and the certainty of death, urging listeners to recognize the swiftness of time and the urgency of responding to God's offer of grace. Ultimately, the sermon calls for immediate faith in Christ, rejecting neutrality and embracing the opportunity for eternal life available today, rather than postponing decisions for an uncertain future.
Title: John Mark; The Deserter who Returned Speaker: Rev. Peter McIntyre Series: Bible Characters Date: 24 August 2025 Bible: Acts 15:36-40 The sermon explores the life of John Mark, a figure who experienced both failure and redemption, ultimately becoming a significant contributor to the early church. Examining passages from Acts and 1 & 2 Timothy, the message highlights Mark's initial abandonment of Paul and Barnabas, his subsequent reconciliation, and his eventual recognition as a valuable asset, culminating in his authorship of the Gospel of Mark. The sermon emphasizes the importance of second chances, the power of grace, and the call to embrace opportunities to serve God, even amidst past failings, drawing parallels to the dedication of those who attempted to rescue sailors from a shipwreck and illustrating the ongoing need to extend a lifeline of the Gospel to others.
The sermon emphasizes God's unwavering desire for humanity's salvation, highlighting Isaiah 45:22 as a central call to look to Him and be saved. Drawing on personal anecdotes and historical examples, the message underscores that Jesus Christ is the sole way to heaven, offering forgiveness and reconciliation through faith. The speaker challenges listeners to abandon false hopes and embrace the substitutionary sacrifice of Christ, asserting that salvation is not earned but freely offered to all who turn to Him, urging immediate and decisive faith for eternal life.
The sermon centres on the profound significance of Jesus Christ's death on the cross, emphasizing its unique power to offer hope and assurance to humanity. Drawing from Philippians 2, the message explores the shame, suffering, and sorrow inherent in the crucifixion, highlighting how Christ willingly endured these elements to atone for the sins of humankind. Ultimately, the preacher calls listeners to consider their own spiritual condition, urging them to surrender their lives to Christ and trust in his sacrifice as the sole path to eternal life and forgiveness, promoting attendance at the ongoing Gospel Mission at Ballygawley.
