Did you know – Sermon Archive

We have a great team of people who contribute to the Liberton Kirk website and there is always someone updating some of the pages relating to the many groups and activities that happen with in the church and the Kirk Halls.

But did you know that every Monday Derek updates the sermon archive with the latest preaching mp3 from our 11am and six30 Sunday services. You can download them to listen to later or listen directly on line.

Currently we have an archive on the site going back to 2012, with our Life Shapes series that John Young spoke on in 2009. There are many preachers, including John Young, Malcolm Jefferson, David McNeish and more as well as our special guest preachers from 2015’s Bicentenary year that include John Cameron, the previous minister at Liberton Kirk. So if you miss a Sunday, want to add to your housegroup or daily devotion time or even check out one of the services you don’t normally attend there is plenty to choose from.

If you are looking for something specific from previous years give the church office or John Young a call and they’ll be able to help you find it.
