How to use this Blog

If you've come here, to this page, looking for a sermon, please go to the 'My Sermons' link (on the right hand side of the page) - or click here.  (I have found that much more traffic goes directly to my sermons page than to this listing of sermon titles...so I'm largely discontinuing putting titles and links up here.)

You will be able to search for Sermons directly on the other page...as well as 'follow' that page to be alerted each time a new sermon is posted.

Thanks for stopping by!

On the Eve of Brexit - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ

This evening, at the conclusion of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, I preached on the text of a famous Choral Evensong anthem, by S.S.Wesley - 'Blessed be the God and Father...".  I also made reference in the final paragraphs to the forthcoming exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union, and the rancour it has caused.
