Rev. Craig Lynn preaches an epilogue at evening worship on Sunday 7th September 2025 in First Ards.

At the start of a new church year, we’re reminded of three simple but life–shaping words: WE SHARE CHRIST_._ Together we belong to one another in Him, we joyfully share the gospel and our lives and we keep Christ at the centre of our worship, welcome and witness. This is our calling and our privilege as His people.

Rev. Craig Lynn preaches Luke 6:6-11 at morning worship on Sunday 7th September 2025 in First Ards.

On the Sabbath, Jesus meets a man with a withered hand and restores him with a word. As we return to Luke's gospel after a break over the summer months, we see in this passage that the Lord’s Day isn't about box-ticking rules but about mercy, restoration and life. The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath and when He speaks, withered things live again.

Rev. Craig Lynn preaches James 5:13-18 at evening worship on Sunday 24th August 2025 in First Ards.

We know we should pray, but does it actually change anything? In this final message of our Faith FAQs series, James reminds us that prayer is God’s chosen means of working in the world, shaping our hearts and deepening our relationship with Him. Prayer matters, not because our words are powerful, but because the God who hears is sovereign, wise and good.
