About this listen

A Podcast discussion on events and talks given at Bootle Protestant Free Church . These are not sermons but thoughts on a sermon. You can find the sermon on our youtube site https://www.youtube.com/@bpfc

Why "know Surrender" it is taken from a pamphlet I was given some years back and is a play on words. "No Surrender" is of course a well know phrase but to "know Surrender" that is to surrender your self to the Lord Jesus, the Christ is more than a well known phrase. It is the key to eternal life.

  • The Whole Armor of God and the Spirit of St. George
    May 1 2026

    a St George’s Day sermon delivered by Reverend William Anderson, which uses the legendary figure as a metaphor for spiritual perseverance. He encourages believers to "slay the dragons" of a modern secular world by actively assuming the role of ambassadors for Christ and maintaining their faith through personal hardship. Central to his message is the biblical concept of the "full armour of God", a collection of spiritual tools including the belt of truth and the sword of the Spirit, which represents the internal presence of God. The Reverend emphasises that avoiding being "left behind" at Christ's return requires a sincere, internal decision to follow God rather than merely leading a virtuous life. Ultimately, the text serves as a call to action for Christians to remain courageous and visible in their convictions instead of quietly withdrawing from society.

  • The King Returns: Judgment and the Everlasting Kingdom Revelation 21:1-7
    Apr 24 2026

    We examine the theological significance of the Nicene Creed’s teachings regarding the Second Coming of Christ. Through a detailed analysis of biblical prophecy and the everlasting kingdom, the text explores how the return of Jesus represents a restoration of creation rather than mere destruction. The author argues that divine judgment should be viewed as a source of hope and justice for the faithful, rather than a cause for fear. By contrasting the humility of the incarnation with the majesty of Christ's return, the sermon encourages believers to live with spiritual readiness and purpose. Ultimately, the materials describe the eternal reign of God as the definitive end to human suffering and earthly injustice

  • The Holy Ghost: The Spirit of Truth and Protection
    Apr 17 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    We examine the divinity, personhood, and essential role of the Holy Spirit within the framework of Christian doctrine. Using the imagery of a protective wall, the texts explain how the Spirit safeguards the church against theological error, human self-reliance, and internal division. The author clarifies historical linguistic shifts, noting that "Holy Ghost" and "Holy Spirit" are synonymous titles for the third person of the Trinity. Detailed emphasis is placed on the Spirit’s work in convicting, regenerating, and preserving the individual believer through a life of faith. Furthermore, the material highlights that the Spirit acts as a divine mediator, empowering the church and ensuring that spiritual life remains anchored in scripture. Ultimately, the sources present the Holy Spirit as an active, eternal presence indispensable for salvation and the maintenance of orthodox belief.
