As part of our studies in the Larger Catechism we have addressed the covenant of grace under the Old and New Testaments.
Have you considered before how different the Worship of the Old Testament was compared to that which we are used to? Three times a year, adults had to go to Jerusalem. Foods were termed clean or unclean. Death in the family or disease placed a complicated burden on families. But, was salvation any different? Was salvation achieved by keeping of rules and regulations? No! Or as the Minister puts it "[that is] totally wrong…by works nobody can be saves".
You can find the administration of the Covenant of Grace in the Old Testament in this sermon and compare it to how that Covenant is administered today in the New Testament.
On the 30th April 2017, Reverend James Haram was inducted to the office of Elder in the Knightswood Congregation and joined the Kirk Session. Mr Alastair Manderson was ordained and inducted to the office of Elder in the Congregation and joined the Kirk Session. A sermon was preached by the pastor and can be found on sermonaudio here.
The Minister of the Congregation is no longer the editor of the Denominational magazine "The Free Church Witness" but backdated copies since 2006 of the magazine during his time as editor are available here. To start from the oldest copies and work your way into modernity, you may wish to begin here.
It is hoped that the Minister Reverend William Macleod will take up a role teaching Systematic Theology at the Free Church Seminary, in addition to the present workload as Minister of Knightswood Congregation of the Free Church of Scotland (Continuing).
On Thursday evening 16th March 2017 at 7.30pm, the congregation will begin the preparatory services for the Lord's Supper. The expected preacher on Thursday is Reverend Andrew Allan, on Friday (7.30pm), Saturday (7.30pm) and on the Sabbath (11am & 6.30pm) the expected preacher is Reverend James Clark.
Visitors are warmly invited to worship the Lord Jesus Christ and to learn of his Gospel as the congregation meets for the solemn purpose of hearing the Word of God preached and the sacrament of the Lord's Supper administered. All will be made very welcome, and those who are the Lord's People can speak to the Elders prior to the Lord's Day morning in order to obtain a Communion token.
The services will be broadcast live, God willing, on the Bible Sermons website and people unable to attend at 361 Fulton Street can find their way with less petrol to the online stream. Please note however, that it is an audio only broadcast.
A conference organised by the Southern Presbytery of the FCC celebrating the 450th anniversary of the Reformation in Scotland will be held in Knightswood Free Church (Continuing) on Saturday 23rd October.
