Bread

Bread has had a bit of a bad press recently. The nutritional content of mass produced, steam process, white loaves has come under some scrutiny.

#doyouknowhimtelford – Jesus the Choice

So, it has been quite a journey over the last few months as we have travelled with Jesus and asked ourselves, “Do You Know Him?” So far we’ve looked at nine different aspects of Jesus’ character and identity, each of which gives us a new perspective on who Jesus is. We started off thinking about […]

#doyouknowhimtelford The Risen One

This week we are continuing in our series looking at the question, “Do You Know Him?” Last week, David was helping us to think about knowing Jesus as the Crucified One, and we follow on from that this week, getting to know Jesus as the one who was raised to life. Why is this so […]

#doyouknowhimtelford the Good Shepherd

Across the borough of Telford and Wrekin, the churches are joining together in asking the question, “Do you Know Him”. We’re asking it of ourselves, and of those around us.

Questions of Identity

When I was at theological college, we had preaching classes. In one of these, the lecturer showed us clips from four different films, each depicting the scene that we’ve read about this morning. So many film makers have given us their version of this story, ranging from Charlton Heston in the 10 Commandments all the […]

Healing and Pandemics

In the time that Jesus was on earth, and for many centuries, leprosy was a disastrous disease for those who contracted it, and their families. Even if you didn’t have leprosy, but just something that looked like it might be leprosy, you were in trouble. Social distancing, self isolating, shielding, are nothing compared to what […]

Everlasting Rest

“An inheritance which is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you.” I wonder how often you think about heaven, and about the glorious inheritance that is kept there for you, waiting for you to arrive and claim it. Over the last few months I’ve been slowly reading my way through a book called […]

Peace Dancing

I wonder how you like to eat your meals. Are you the kind of person who likes to eat each thing on it’s own, in turn, or do you load a bit of everything on your fork for each mouthful? Do you eat your favourite thing first or leave it to last? Put a roast […]

A Grind?

I wonder if you know what this is? It’s a coffee mill. Not one of those fancy electric ones, but a hand mill. You put your beans in here, turn the handle, and you get freshly milled coffee in the bottom. There’s a little adjustable screw and butterfly nut in the bottom that you set […]

Exiles and Foreigners

A couple of years ago I was in Lubambashi airport on the way home from a two week trip to the Democratic Republic of Congo. We were already running a day late, because of a failure of a connecting flight the previous day, and there was some doubt as to whether or not we had […]
