Autumn Sermons & Prayers: Lord of The Saints
The saints help us to make reality out of the very unreal promise of eternal life, giving a glimpse of how a life of hope can be lived in an imperfect world.
Added: 18th November 2007
Bonhoeffer & Costly Discipleship
We do not witness to God monastically but in a difficult and corrupted world; but how can we spread the good news if we give up thinking about it when we reach puberty? As Bonhoeffer says, there is no such thing as cheap grace. Managing the Church's decline is not enough.
Year B, The Forth Sunday before Lent; Added: 6th March 2007
Christianity is not a religion of childish supplication but is relational
Year C, The Eleventh Sunday after Trinity; Added: 11th August 2016
As the Chosen People the Jews necessarily had a problem with difference; but we are equal before God in the power of the Good News.
Year B, The Fifth Sunday of Easter; Added: 9th February 2007
One way of understanding the dynamic of the Trinity is to try and imagine it with one 'person' missing.
Year B, Trinity Sunday; Added: 9th February 2007
We need to be careful what claims we make for doctrine.
The Forth Sunday of Lent (Mothering Sunday); Added: 17th March 2016
The assent to the conception of Jesus is more important than the mechanics; what is important for us is that Mary and Joseph took an immense risk for what they believed.
Year A, The Forth Sunday of Advent; Added: 19th January 2008
If we concentrate too much on "in the beginning" and "ever shall be" we lose the dynamic presence of the Trinity in our lives.
Year B, Trinity Sunday; Added: 9th February 2007
The lengthening of the eschatological horizon lowers the intensity of religion but we should live in joyful hope.
Year B, The Third Sunday of Advent; Added: 6th March 2007
Judas and Victorian Triumphalism
Judas had earthly ambitions for Jesus; do not we also hanker after the apparent Church glory of the Victorian era; perhaps we are now in need of going back to a 1st Century mind-set.
Wednesday of Holy Week; Added: 27th March 2007
The Parable of the Banquet calls for us to be much more engaged by living for the moment.
Year A, The Sixteenth Sunday after Trinity; Added: 17th October 2011
The obsession with detail is less dangerous than the obsession with generalisation but both are manifestations of pride.
Philip and James, Apostles; Added: 6th May 2016
If in nothing else we should be willing to follow in the saintly path of straight talking
Year C, All Saints' Day; Added: 28th June 2023
One of the vital forces in society is our ability to turn imagination into reality; but this is nothing to God causing the Word to be made Flesh.
Year B, Sixth Sunday of the Year; Added: 19th February 2009
The Outrageous Demands of Jesus
Church attendance and obedience are not enough. What kind of "fishers of men" are we? We must witness in our daily lives and then we will better understand Isaiah's reply to the question: "Who shall I send?"
Year C, The Third Sunday before Lent; Added: 24th October 2007
Isaiah and John Baptist are lighting pink candles amid the purple; getting ready we have the purple of penitence and the white of Christmas but also the secular red. Let us enjoy them and allow them to inform each other.
