Sermon

In this sermon I focussed especially on Matthew 5:10-12, ‘Blessed are those who are persecuted,’ asking: are we willing to be persecuted for being Christians, even here in the UK?

Sermon focused on Matthew 3:11, looking at baptism with water, baptism with the Holy Spirit, and baptism with fire.

Sermon for the first Sunday of Advent, looking at the theme of hope.

Sermon looking at Jesus’ commandment that we should love one another (John 13:34). How can we, as people of the church, love like Jesus?

Sermon looking at the Lord’s Prayer, and Jesus’ teaching on prayer immediately afterwards. The disciples came to Jesus and said, ‘Teach us to pray.’ And we too can come to Jesus today and say, ‘Teach us to pray.’

Sermon on the practice of Silence and Solitude. How did Jesus practice silence and solitude? How and why should we, as disciples of Jesus, practise silence and solitude?

Sermon on Jonah 4. Comparing Jonah’s anger with God’s mercy after God chose not to destroy the people of Nineveh when they repented. Asking ourselves, do we presume what God should do? Or do we wait upon the Lord?

Sermon for Palm Sunday, comparing the first Triumphal Entry of Jesus into Jerusalem with the second Triumphal Entry, when Jesus will return to Jerusalem to establish his eternal kingdom. He is coming soon!

Learning about being a disciple, how Jesus empowered and trained his disciples, and how he wants to empower us as disciples today.

The story of Jesus having dinner at a Pharisee’s house and meeting a ‘sinful woman’. An account that challenges our perception about sin and forgiveness.
