Sunday Sermon 11th October – A Sunday To Remember Homeless People

A SUNDAY TO REMEMBER HOMELESS PEOPLE!

Build people for homes;

build houses with hearts

and may love make a home….

Isaiah 58: 6-12 and Matthew 25: 34-40

When the disciples asks Jesus where he is living he says, “come, and you will see!” Have you ever wondered what they saw? I wonder whether they crowded into a tiny bedsitter with a shared bathroom down the corridor or whether he was sofa surfing, as they say, at Martha and Mary’s neat little terrace house. I somehow doubt it was a five bed mansion that he lived in, but it could have been a shop doorway or under a tree. CONTINUE READING ...

Sunday Sermon 4th October – Don’t let it happen!

Don’t let it happen!

Isaiah 5: 1-7 and Matthew 21: 33-46

There is a warning on a packet of cigarettes that if you smoke there is a danger to your health in the future. There are warning signs on gambling adverts that “when the fun stops stop” and if you don’t stop, you don’t know what it will do to your future.There are warning signs “not to drink and drive” and if you do there is no knowing how many lives might be ruined in the future.

Don’t be ashamed of the words

Dear Friends,

Don’t be ashamed of the words…. (Mark 8: 34-end)

sing a new song to the Lord! (Psalm 96)

We stood together and clapped as a nation so isn’t it time we stand again with our neighbours and join our voices in prayer…

We lit candles and put them in windows to show solidarity with each other and in support for the NHS staff, but can we now break our silence with a new song to the Lord? CONTINUE READING ...

An Unthinkable question!

Dear Friends,

An Unthinkable question!

Matthew 18: 21-35

Forgive me for asking an unthinkable question, but can we forgive God? Not because God has done anything wrong, but there are a lot of things we don’t like that can be forgiven as much as our sin! CONTINUE READING ...

For nothing is impossible with God

Dear Friends,

For nothing is impossible with God…

Luke 1: 37

When a friend visited during the week he said how he is looking for a new house with a view of stars and rainbow and unicorns racing across the sky! If anyone knows where he can find such a property please let me know so that I can tell him. CONTINUE READING ...

Plastic in the tea!

Dear Friends,

Plastic in the tea…!

I never knew my daily cups of tea could be so damaging to the planet. It’s not the tea that’s the problem, but that little bag that I drop into a cup and pour boiling water on can be a killer. It’s got a plastic content that might not be biodegradable! CONTINUE READING ...

Don’t make waves

Dear Friends,

Don’t make waves;

cause ripples on the water!

The words we speak can land like a stone in a lake — and we might never know how far the ripples will reach.

We can often be concerned that what we say can sink without trace like a stone that is thrown into the water. It might land with a plop or skim the surface before sinking, but it can send a message further than we think. We don’t know which shoreline they will touch, but the ripples stop somewhere! Some people make waves with campaigns for change, but more of us are gentle in our approach and only cause ripples. You might be surprised at the difference you can make. CONTINUE READING ...

If the World was my Wife

Dear Friends,

If the world was my wife, she would have left me…!

If the world was my wife I would look after her much better than I do….

If the world was my wife she would be the victim of domestic violence and in urgent need of a refuge from a brutal husband. CONTINUE READING ...
