Worship
Kingdom of God sermons:
At the heart of worship in St Nicholas is the ministry of the Word in
the form of sermons preached. Sometimes they follow individual topics;
at others they follow a series with a particular focus.
This series of sermons was originally preached in St Nicholas Parish
Church, Prestwick, between April and June 2007 by the Rev. George R.
Fiddes.
They are summarised here in response to popular request in order to make them available to a wider audience and as a reminder for those who wish to reflect further on that Kingdom and its significance in their lives.
