Reflecting on Psalm 1: The Beauty of God's Word

A Sermon by Mark Wells from the Bible Society NI

This past Sunday, we were blessed with a profound sermon on Psalm 1 by Mark Wells from the Bible Society of Northern Ireland. Mark's insightful exploration of Psalm 1 reminded us of the deep roots and nourishment found in delighting and meditating on God's Word, drawing a powerful parallel with the life and mission of the Bible Society NI.

The Bible Society NI, an integral part of our global mission to share God's Word, endeavors to ensure that everyone has access to the Bible in a language and format they can understand and afford. Through their work, they aim to reach every person so that they might experience God’s purpose for their life. The Society supports Bible translation, production, distribution, and engagement projects both globally and locally, reinforcing the foundation of faith shared in Psalm 1.

To support the Bible Society NI, we can engage in prayer, volunteer, or contribute financially. Their initiatives, such as the Bible-a-Month Club, provide a tangible way to help spread God’s Word across the world and here in Northern Ireland.

Let us continue to meditate on Scripture, drawing nourishment from its truths, and support the mission of the Bible Society NI in making the Bible accessible to all.

SPB Sermons || Sent Like the Son || JOhn 20:19-23

Sent Like the Son – Family Worship at SPB Belfast (Sunday 27th April 2025) On the evening of Easter Sunday, as fear gripped the disciples behind locked doors, Jesus appeared among them and spoke the words they most needed to hear: "Peace be with you." At St Paul’s & St Barnabas this Sunday, we reflected on John 20:19-31 and the incredible transformation that the resurrection brings — not just to history, but to our hearts and lives today. We joined the disciples in their fear and doubt, seeing how even the testimony of Mary Magdalene couldn’t unlock their fear. Yet no locked door could keep out the risen Christ. Jesus appeared, scars and all, speaking peace into their brokenness. His scars weren't signs of defeat, but emblems of the victory won at the Cross — a reminder that by His wounds, we are healed. Jesus did not come to rebuke His followers, but to comfort them with His presence, speak peace into their hearts, and to co...

SPB Sermons || John 20:24-31 || An Invitation For All To See ||

The Invitation Still Stands John 20:24–31 | Holy Communion | Sunday, 6 May 2025 In this deeply personal and reflective message, Rev. Andrew Irwin explores one of the most well-known and misunderstood figures in the resurrection story — Thomas. Often labelled "doubting," Thomas is shown instead as honest, wounded, and longing for truth. His absence at Jesus' first appearance leaves him reeling in a sea of sorrow, having missed not only the risen Christ but also the peace and power the others received. Still, Jesus returns — not with rebuke, but with compassion. And in that grace-filled encounter, Thomas makes one of the clearest declarations of faith in all Scripture: "My Lord and my God." The sermon challenges the assumptions we carry about doubt, showing us that Jesus is not afraid of our honesty. Like Thomas, we are often shaped by pain, disappointment, and questions, yet we are also invited to bring them to Jesus — whose scar...

SPB Sermons || A Vision of Worship and Witness || Revelation 7:9-17

A Vision of Worship and Witness A Vision of Worship and Witness At St Paul’s & St Barnabas, we were invited this week to lift our eyes and hearts to a bigger reality — the heavenly vision found in Revelation 7. In this powerful passage, the apostle John sees a great multitude gathered around the throne, worshipping the Lamb. This vision is not only a promise of what is to come, but a mirror of what the church is called to be today. Revelation 7 offers us two things: a vision of what is and a vision of what should be . It begins with worship — people from every tribe, tongue, and nation united in adoration of Jesus. This is not an abstract hope, but something we are already tasting. As we look around our congregation in North Belfast, we see glimpses of that future now: different backgrounds, cultures, and stories gathered by grace around one Saviour. Worship is not limited to songs or liturgy — it is a way of life, marked by grace and fuelled ...
