Luke 6: 27 – 42 One of the reasons for looking at a Gospel is that we’re confronted by the challenging things Jesus said and did. His call to love our enemies, avoid condemning others and be honest about our own faults is pretty challenging. All too easily we gloss over teaching like this, relativize […]
Luke 4:31 to Luke 5:11 Teaching with integrity / authority, releasing people from evil powers, healing the sick, calling others to follow and imitate Him … these signs of hope are how Jesus proclaimed the Gospel. The Gospel is the good news of the kingdom of God and that Jesus Christ is Lord. We easily […]
Luke 4: 14 – 30. Jesus emerges from the desert experience ‘in the power of the Spirit’ with a clear sense of purpose. Sometimes referred to as the ‘Nazareth Manifesto’, He applies Isaiah’s hope-filled words of future promise to the here and now! Jesus’ hearers couldn’t accept this local boy’s claim and were deeply offended when […]
Luke 4: 1-13. Hebrews 4:15 reminds us Jesus was tempted in every way, just as we are – yet without sin. This story would probably have been on the writer’s mind. The devil aims his attack on Jesus’ sense of identity: ‘If you are the Son of God … etc.’ That self-knowledge had grown over […]
Luke 2: 39 – 52. On this Covenant Sunday we are looking at part of Jesus’ life that’s often overlooked – growing up. That He was a remarkable child is clear but we mustn’t forget He was also a real boy. Can we imagine Jesus playing with His friends in Nazareth and learning to wield […]
John 1: 4-5 and 14. Carols by Candlelight Service.
John 1:29-34; Matthew 2:1-12; Luke 2:8-40 Poor shepherds left the security of the fields and followed the angels’ advice on where to find Christ the Lord. Old Simeon waited a lifetime, patiently searching through prayer and studying the Scriptures before he held Mary’s baby. Wise men studied the stars and travelled far before finding their […]
John 1:19-28, Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 1:26-38, 46-56. Many people spend a lot time and energy in preparing for Christmas. Mostly this involves food, presents, decorations and cards. For Mary & Joseph preparing for Jesus’ birth was far more costly and complicated! John later urged people to have a change of heart and mend their ways […]
John 1:1-18; Luke 1:5-25, 57-80. As Advent begins we’ll reflect on the hopes and aspirations of those who were looking for the coming of Messiah. Zechariah couldn’t take in the promise given to him and Elizabeth. Many didn’t recognise John the Baptist as a prophet or indeed the One for whom he prepared the way. […]
