Just Ordinary Spiritual People

To read the full text of this morning's address/sermon, given at our Parish Mass this morning, please click here.  This is the full text - although I actually ended up cutting it down a bit on the hoof this morning, because time was marching on, and we still had an Annual Parochial Church Meeting to get through!

I hope that Parishioners and observers find the whole text of interest.

Quiet Day Talks

Here are links to three talks I gave last Saturday (26th March 2011) at the Sisters of Bethany.  They cover a broad canvass, ranging from philosophy, questions of meaning, the problem of suffering and the all important issue of forgiveness.

Meaning, Understanding and Forgiveness to one and all!

Its against the Law!

The idea of The Law is strange idea, when you think about it.  Who creates laws, and why do we obey them?  And what should our attitude be to those who break them?  For tomorrow's sermon on this topic, please click here.

Who on earth WAS this Jesus?!

John the Baptist.  Strange fellow.  He ate locusts, for goodness sake!  So what was it about Jesus that got John so excited?  To read tomorrow's sermon on this topic, please click here

No-one knows the hour...but is the End of the World upon us?

The State we are in

Here's a thought...nothing changes.  Our society is so much like the society of Jesus' time.  Its really quite scary.  What kind of State are we in?  If you would like to think a little more about that, please see this evening's sermon, to be delivered at the Patronal Festival of St Saviour's Church, Stamshaw.  Please click here to read the sermon.

Protection and Persistence

Why is being baptised a bit like joining a football team?  Sounds like the start of joke, doesn't it?!  Well, to find out the answer, please click here to read tomorrow morning's sermon.

Please and Thank you

Do you ever feel unappreciated...as though all the work you do for God goes unnoticed...perhaps even by your Vicar?!  Does no-one say 'please' and 'thank you' to you?  What does it mean to be a servant of God?  To think more about that, please see tomorrow's sermon, by clicking here.

Hate your Parents for Jesus?

Tomorrow's Gospel reading is pretty strong stuff.  Not "gentle Jesus meek and mild" at all.  To read my sermon on the topic, please click here.

Jesus the Anarchist

Was Jesus an Anarchist?  Did he seek to overturn all laws, and create a lawless Kingdom.  What should our attitude to the Sabbath be?  Please click here to read tomorrow's sermon.
