And turn our good intentions into action.’

The Wonder of the Cross – Day 2 – Join The Song
One day, whether we like plainsong or hymns, choruses or Latin chant, we will all sing together forever. Perhaps, especially if the worship where we find ourselves is not familiar or to our taste, we need to learn to ‘Join the song’.
The Wonder of the Cross – Day 1 – Ash Wednesday – Captivated
Our Beloved, though we are unworthy, is, ‘captivated by us’(!) and our only response must be to allow our hearts to be stolen and spend the next 40 Days at least being ’Captivated by Him’.

A Life of Leaving – A Sermon
The lesson the disciples missed is that eternal life is not only about following Jesus (even the Rich Young Ruler wants to do that) but also about leaving things behind.

One Gift to Guide Them All… – A Sermon
before the Magi picked out their gifts they paid attention to waht was happening in the world around them to work out what to do next.

I’ve never understood the saying ‘as miserable as sin’. Personally I find sin, for the most part, quite enjoyable, else why would we persist in it. It’s what happens after sin, after hearing but not listening, that brings the pain.
From Nativity to Pietà – A Sermon
Jesus is our Midwife and like a mother looks on us every day with love.
Jesus, with His own body, defeats the power of death and sin and bears us all into the promise of the Life after Life.
Stick or Twist (aka Turn or Burn) – A Sermon
How to Repent:
1. Stop doing the bad stuff.
2. Start doing the good stuff.
3. Give away the fruit of our penitence.
(We do not join the ‘God Squad’ for our benefit alone.)
An SOS for Jesus – A Sermon
Travelling with Jesus does not mean we are immune from storms. It does mean we are safe in the midst of them and are given the courage to follow Him more closely
