Full of Emptiness – A Sermon
If we hold on to what we have we find we are holding on to emptiness….
But if we let go of our emptiness God works miracles!
God works best and God’s love is shown at its best when God has nothing at all to with which to work.
Everything Everywhere – A Sermon
Jesus’ parables reminds us that God is indeed ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’.
There is no place too small or insignificant to be home to God’s reign.
Neither is there anywhere where the influence of the Gospel of love and inclusion cannot spread.
The Kingdom of Heaven is a place where people who seek truth and love will find great treasure.

Resisting the Prowling Lion – Easter Day
it remains tempting to give in to worry. Worry about food and drink, worry about shelter and comfort for our loved ones, worry about why we worry so much!
In Praise of Tittle-Tattle: A Sermon
when Jesus says to the women at the empty tomb, ‘Do not be afraid; go and tell’ He speaks to us as well. We are the ones who must learn to conquer our fears, in whatever form they come to us, and ‘go and tell’ our brothers and sisters and others about the Good News of God’s love for them.
Resisting the Prowling Lion – Day 40 – Holy Saturday
It is all very well to cheerlead others to get on and ‘do something’ but it feels very different when we are the ones who are supposed to stand up and be counted.
