Yes, it’s Me.

10th April 2016 by Jean Spencer

Luke 24: 36-53. The unprecedented, sublime, enigmatic, paradoxical resurrection appearances of Christ continue to the end of Luke’s Gospel. Jesus appears among the disciples as if from nowhere and they panic. Surely, only a ghost could by-pass the need for an open door! However, this ‘ghost’ enjoys eating tilapia and invites the quivering disciples to […]

What’s it all about ?

3rd April 2016 by Revd. Paul Lewis

Audio

Luke 24: 13-35, 38 The risen Christ walks alongside two disillusioned disciples and takes them on a ‘walk’ through the Scriptures. He helps them to see things in a new light. Familiar passages take on a new meaning. The old becomes new. Yet, although God has certainly done a “new thing” (!), it is a […]

You weren’t expecting that !

27th March 2016 by Revd. Keith Judson

Audio

John 19:30, Matthew 27: 51, 51, 62-66, Luke 24: 1-8, ! Corinthians 15: 3-10. Matthew 27.62-66 tells us the religious leaders were worried about Jesus’ disciples spreading rumours of resurrection. (Hence the seal and guard on the tomb.) However, there’s little evidence Peter & Co. were expecting this or in any mood to make up […]

What did you expect ?

20th March 2016 by Revd. Keith Judson

Audio

Luke 19:28-48. This passage is full of surprises! The disciples puzzled over what Jesus was up to, as did the owners of the colt. The Pharisees are scandalised by the “crowd of disciples” (v.37) using Messianic-sounding language. As for those doing business in the temple courts and the religious leaders, Jesus’ words and actions are […]

Persistent in Prayer.

13th March 2016 by Revd. Paul Lewis

Audio

Colossians 4:2-18. St. Paul began ‘Colossians’ by referring to his prayers for them (1.3). He now urges them to devote themselves to prayer and humbly asks them to pray for him! The Apostle is under no illusion that his work’s effectiveness depends on God ‘opening doors’ and prayer is the key. He wants to be […]

Friends and Family.

6th March 2016 by Revd. Paul Lewis

1 John 3:11-18, Psalm 139. The Bible is full of encouragement, guidance and instruction on how we should treat one another – including friends and family. However, perhaps we don’t always think about how we might discern what God is saying to us and wanting to do in our lives through those we are closest […]

People of God.

28th February 2016 by Revd. Paul Lewis

Audio

Colossians 3:12 to 4:1. Ch. 3 further describes what life as God’s chosen people looks like. These are beautiful verses, painting a picture of love, harmony, peace and thanksgiving as believers live and worship together. Again we see how practical the gospel is, resulting in transformed relationships at church, home, work, wherever. It’s easy to […]

Spot the difference.

21st February 2016 by Revd. Keith Judson

Colossians 3: 1-11 This chapter begins: “Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.” (NIV) Once again the Apostle sets our sights high – “on things above”. Not that we’re to become ‘so heavenly-minded we’re of no earthly use.’ […]

Live in union with Christ.

14th February 2016 by Jean Spencer

Audio

Colossians 2:6-23. Vs. 6-7 sum up all that’s gone before, so a good place to resume our study of Colossians. St. Paul goes on to explore further the theme of ‘dying with Christ’ in order to live for him. The implications are wide – not just for personal, moral conduct as we might assume but […]
