I believe in Jesus

“Who do you say that Jesus is?” This is one of the most important questions in the world, and we hear it asked for the very first time in our Bible reading this morning. I wonder how you would answer it. I wonder how we even start thinking about the answer. To give us a […]

I am the Bread of Life

This evening we are beginning a series of sermons exploring the “I am…” sayings of Jesus in the eye witness account of the good news of Jesus written by his friend John. Each of these gives us a different perspective on who Jesus understood himself to be, and what that means for us. Just as […]

What kind of Messiah?

Peter was on a high. He had just got the answer to a question right, having had a profound truth revealed to him by God, and Jesus had told him that he was to be foundational in the new movement that Jesus was beginning. In the conversation leading up to today’s reading Jesus had asked […]

Water from Rock

Bit warm the last few days, don’t you think. What’s the advice been for keeping cool? Stay indoors. Don’t do too much physical activity. Drink plenty. What’s the average temperature been, about 30 degrees, something like that? I wonder if you know what the average temperature on the Sinai peninsula is at this time of […]

Moses Flees

The Fugitive. The Blues Brothers. Catch me if you can. Thelma and Louise. What do all these films have in common? They are all stories of people on the run, who are fleeing, trying to escape. Some of them are innocent of what they are accused of, but most of them are guilty. Either way, […]

Moses – Baby in a Basket

This morning we are exploring the beginning of the stories of two babies with big futures. They were born centuries apart, but there are so many links between their stories, links that are show us something about God’s consistent love and faithfulness for us. So let’s begin with baby number 1, a little boy. Now, […]

Jesus People

And so, we come to the end of our time exploring this short excerpt from Paul’s letter to the Christians living in Colossae. Well, I say the end, it’s the end of the sermon series, but I hope that it’s not the end, but a step in the journey of us being a people who […]

Peaceful People

This morning is a Church Family Communion service. When we introduced this way of having communion about five years ago we had quite a few conversations about what was important to include whilst we were all together and at what point the young people would go to their groups.
