The Fool Says in His Heart: Evidence for God in a Godless Age

Priest Forever: Christ after the Order of Melchizedek

Glyn Davies preaches on the priesthood of Christ as presented in Psalm 110 and Hebrews, showing how the Lord uniquely combines the offices of prophet, priest and king. Drawing on the figure of Melchizedek and Psalm 85, he explains how Jesus reconciles righteousness with peace and mercy with truth without compromise, having paid the price on the cross. The message emphasises the practical outcome of that priesthood: because Jesus became man and was tempted yet without sin, he is able to sympathise and intercede. Glyn urges listeners to come boldly to the throne of grace, to rely on Christ’s ongoing intercession and to find mercy and help in times of need.

Psalm 73 - When the Wicked Prosper: Finding God’s Perspective

Ian Rees preaches through Psalm 73, unpacking Asaph’s struggle between the declared truth that God is good to his people and the upsetting sight of the wicked prospering. He traces the psalm’s shape - truth, trouble and triumph - showing how Asaph’s honesty about envy and near-stumbling leads to a decisive turning point when he goes into the sanctuary and sees things from God’s viewpoint. From that vantage point Ian draws out the consequences: the ungodly follow a slippery path that ends in sudden judgment, while the godly inherit God’s presence, guidance and eternal portion. Practical application presses believers not to envy the world, to draw near to God, to trust his counsel (Psalm 73:24) and to remember the ultimate difference between fleeting prosperity and lasting glory.

In the Lord's Hand: Cups of Judgement, Suffering and Salvation

Ian Rees bases this short Bible teaching on Psalm 75's striking image - 'in the hand of the Lord there is a cup' - and surveys the major "cups" of Scripture. He outlines cups of divine judgement on individuals and nations (with references to David, Isaiah 51, Jeremiah 25 and Revelation), then turns to the cups associated with Christ: his cup of suffering, the cup of remembrance at the Lord's Supper, and the wider cup of fellowship Paul warns about in 1 Corinthians 10. Ian balances exposition with practical application: Christians are urged to take the cup of salvation (Psalm 116), to live out the Lord's Supper throughout the week, and to avoid identification with the world's or demonic 'cups' (illustrated by a testimony from Botswana). The talk closes with an invitation to thoughtful, consistent discipleship in light of God's providence and Christ's atoning work.

Lead Me to the Rock: Finding Strength When Overwhelmed

Ian Rees preaches from Psalm 61, centring on verse 2: 'When my heart is overwhelmed, lead me to the rock that is higher than I.' He explains the Hebrew sense of being overwhelmed - spiritual and emotional fainting and opens with a personal hospital anecdote to introduce the pastoral burden behind the text.

He Puts My Tears in His Bottle

Gordon Stewart expounds Psalm 56 (a 'Mitchtam of David') and centres the sermon on the Bible image of God collecting our tears 'in his bottle'—a reminder that every sorrow, wandering and act of devotion is known and recorded by the Lord. He traces the meaning of the psalm, its historical context (David in Gath) and the emotional range of human tears, showing how Scripture and the life of Christ value and share our suffering. Moving from Old Testament origin to New Testament fulfilment, Gordon Stewart cites Matthew, Luke, John and Revelation to illustrate Jesus' sympathy—'Jesus wept'—and to offer pastoral comfort: even when Christ seems hidden, he is present. The message closes with the promise that God will wipe away all tears and a call to trust his tender care now and until the eternal day.
