Title: Five Key Christian Truths Speaker: Rev. Peter McIntyre Series: FPC 75th Anniversary Date: 15 March 2026 Bible: Luke 1:1 The sermon presents a foundational reflection on five essential Christian truths—sin, Scripture, the Trinity, Christ, and the atonement—framed as the unshakable pillars of the faith, especially relevant in light of the church's 75th anniversary and its historical roots in the 1927 Davy Heresy Trial. It emphasises that sin is humanity's universal condition, breaking all barriers and necessitating divine intervention, while affirming the Bible as God's infallible, authoritative Word, not subject to human reason or experience. The Trinity is upheld as the core of Christian orthodoxy, revealing God as three persons in one essence, essential to proper worship and understanding of salvation. Christ is presented as the eternal Son who became flesh to reveal God, die as the perfect sacrifice, and rise in victory, offering hope amid global turmoil. Central to this is the atonement, where Christ bore the sins of humanity, making believers righteous through His substitutionary death, grounded in Scripture and secured by the triune God's eternal plan. The tone is pastoral, convicting, and deeply reverent, underscoring that these truths are not mere doctrines but the very foundation of gospel assurance and mission.
