Bible

This window represents the Bible in which the story of Christianity from beginning to end is revealed. “Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the […]

Holy Spirit

As soon as Jesus was baptised, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting on him. And a voice from heaven said. “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Matt 3:16-17

Resurrection

After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven…. The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are […]

Judgement

The Lord saw how great man’s wickedness had become…. The Lord was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain. So the Lord said, “I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth.” But Noah found favour in the eyes of the […]

Confusion

Expulsion

Minister – Rev Andrew Watson

Welcome! Dunfanaghy is one of the most north-westerly Presbyterian congregations in Ireland. “Donegal” is sometimes known as the “fort of the foreigner”, the place where visitors are assured of a warm welcome. I hope this website gives you a ‘flavour’ of our life and work. While many find the “History” of interest, you can […]

History

A carefully researched exploration of our history, ‘Dunfanaghy’s Presbyterian Congregation and Its Times’ (PDF, 3.8Mb), a retrospect, was published in May 1978 by Colan MacArthur MA. Records mention a Presbyterian community and Minister in 1679. However, the Scots Plantations in the area of Dunfanaghy date from around 1610/1611 and “Presbyterian” clergy were in the Raphoe […]

Palm Sunday Reading

The Weeping Judge

(First read Luke 19 vs 28 -48)

The crowds are cheering their hero. Look, here He comes, the One Who made the blind see, the disabled rise up and walk, Who even raised the dead. Waving their palm branches they jubilantly welcome the Saviour King promised by God through His prophets centuries earlier.

Yet as we look at their champion he is not waving, smiling, punching the air or giving ‘High Fives’. No, He’s weeping!

His fans go wild as He ‘cleans house’ in the Temple, chasing out the crooks and welcoming the needy, making it what it should be, a house of prayer and a centre for compassion and healing. Yet instead of riding and enjoying this wave of popularity Jesus weeps and earnestly pleads for people to heed His warning.

The Judge of the earth weeps as He foresees the destruction of those who refuse to humble themselves before God, who refuse to repent and welcome the Saviour Who has come on this occasion in gentleness with the offer of peace. The Weeping Judge is distressed, deeply offended by our disobedience and rebellion but equally distraught as He warns of the consequences.

Here is grace, but if grace is rejected then judgement must come. Within 40 years Jerusalem Read More
