Hilton Parish Church
Sunday 3 May 2026
A worship service was held at 10.30am in the church on Sunday 3 May. The service was simultaneously broadcast on the Church Facebook page. For the next four weeks, you can catch up here.
The Bible passages were Luke 23:32-43 and Revelation 22:1-7 David Sim led the service and preached. The sermon starts at 33.07 in on the video.
It was a wonderful service this morning!
David’s theme was seeing God’s love reflected in nature.
He mentioned the risk of being so caught up with our thoughts and plans that we lose sight of the astounding beauty of nature around us – a beauty which points to the Creator.
He spoke about descriptions of ‘paradise’ at the beginning and end of the Bible – a garden in Genesis and a garden city in Revelation where people encounter God.
He spoke about Jesus telling the thief dying with him ‘Today you will be with me in paradise.’
He reminded us that ‘paradise’ is not just past, future, or ‘later today’ but now.
The creation around us points to a God dimension lying behind all things, a God dimension which we encounter when we stop looking at nature simply as ‘beauty’ and dissecting it scientifically, but see it as an expression of God, and invitation to encounter the Christ who sustains all things.
Jesus, David reminded us, is Alpha and Omega, beginning and ending, yet constantly with us. Jesus, he implied, is paradise and we enter paradise by opening our lives to him.
David then led is in an prayer, leading us to reflect on and pray for ourselves, those close to us, friends, folk we don’t know very well, folk we don’t like very much, in each case asking for God to bless and encourage them. And there was in the room a whisper of Paradise.
We’ll publish the full text of David’s sermon later in the week

A date for your diary! 📅
We’re delighted to be welcoming Less Waste Laura to King’s!
Laura will be sharing about what it means to be a Christian in the worlds of politics and media, as well as exploring how we as Christians can respond to the climate emergency.
A fantastic communicator, Laura recently led and won the campaign to ban disposable vapes in Scotland. When she’s not speaking at places like 10 Downing Street or attending UN “COP” climate conferences, you might spot her on the BBC discussing climate change.
This evening is open to everyone and completely free to attend — we’d love to see you there!
