St James' Church of Scotland

26 September 2021 is the 18th Sunday after Pentecost and the main reading this week comes from Mark’s Gospel – Mark 9:38-50.

The version set out below is taken from The Message, rather than the usual ‘New International Version’ (of the Bible), for a bit of variety. The version read in the service (video link to recording, below) is from the NIV version, as usual.

Should you wish to download the sermon as a PDF, a version is available at the link here.

Below, you will find the main scripture for this week, the Order of Service, the Video of the Service led by Rev. Geoff McKee, and a Musical Selection by Katherine Robertson, with an interesting local, Moray connection.

Sunday 23 May 2021 is Pentecost.

On this day, Christians celebrate the birth of the Church – when Jesus’ disciples (all together in a house in Jerusalem) were filled with the Holy Spirit (a violent wind blowing from heaven, with ‘tongues of fire’) and visitors to the city from many nations were amazed to hear these Galileans speaking to them in the visitors’ own languages.

We hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!

Acts 2:11

Below, you will find the main scripture for today from the Book of Acts, a Musical Selection by Kath Robertson, our musical director, and Rev. Geoff McKee’s video service with readings, prayers and sermon.
