    The theme couldn’t be more basic - ’love one aother’. I’ll leave you to be the judge.

    "This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lays down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you ... love one another." I think it was Mark Twain that I first saw quoted, saying that it was ...read more

    Father Dave’s sermon on David and Besheba; A story of sex, lies and murder, starring the ’man after God’s own heart’!

    "You can get a large audience together for a strip-tease act-that is, to watch a girl undress on the stage. Now suppose you came to a country where you could fill a theatre by simply bringing a covered plate on to the stage and then slowly lifting the cover so as to let everyone see, just before ...read more

    based on 19 ratings
     | 23,021 views

    Father Dave’s Sermon on wrestling with God. Real growth experiences always involve struggle and pain. And so Jacob, at the turning point of his life, wrestles all night with a dark and shadowy figure by the river Jabbok. He struggles. He fights. He is wo

    "Jacob was left alone; and a man wrestled with him until daybreak. (25) When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he struck him on the hip socket; and Jacob’s hip was put out of joint as he wrestled with him. (26) Then he said, "Let me go, for the day is breaking." But Jacob said, "I ...read more

    Father Dave’s sermon on the Jesus’ healing of a man with leprosy and His compassion.

    Mark chapter 1: Jesus has the power to heal a man of his leprosy, but He doesn’t have the power to keep him quiet! That’s the story of this reading today, isn’t it? Leprosy was the great scourge of those ancient communities, in a similar way to which AIDS has been a scourge in our own time, and ...read more

     | 8,655 views

    Father Dave’s sermon on the Road to Emmaus and an encouragement for those who are searching for God, and are still searching.

    I’ve had some pretty intense pastoral encounters this past week. I think that’s the right term - ‘pastoral encounters’? I’m referring to those dialogues I have occasionally with people that are deep and spiritual, and I’ve had quite a number of them in this last week. And most of these intense ...read more

    Father Dave’s sermon on the story of King Herod and the execution of John the Baptist.

    No doubt all of you are deeply concerned, as I am, about what could prove to be the beginnings of World War III breaking out this week in the Middle East.

    Father Dave’s sermon on the miracle of the feeding of the 5000, and what Jesus means when he says he is ’the bread of life.’

    I don’t know what your week has been like, but I’ve had a week that has been full of typical priest-type things: visiting the sick and organising weddings, baptisms and funerals. Indeed, in the next few weeks we’ve got two baptism scheduled, there’s one wedding next Saturday, and tomorrow I have ...read more

    based on 18 ratings
     | 26,173 views

    Depictions of Christ suffering on the cross are common in Christian literature and iconography. Few though are the depictions of Jesus walking around exhausted, during his earthly ministry. Yet the tiredness of Jesus is seen commonly in the Gospels, and

    Our Gospel reading this morning is from Mark chapter 7, where we come across a Jesus who is tired - tired, I think, to the point of exhaustion. This is not the sort of depiction of Jesus that is given much attention by the church. I’ve never seen a stained-glass window with an image of Jesus ...read more

    Father Dave’s sermon on faith and discipleship. Why do the disciples so often seem to get it wrong? And what’s the good news in all this?

    Yesterday was a great day for this community. Yes, I’m talking about the Newtown-St George Rugby game at Telstra Stadium, where our team, trailing by 2 points with only five minutes to go, ran in two tries to win by ten and get themselves a spot in next week’s Premier League Grand Final.

    My focus here is on three widows - Ruth, her mother-in-law Naomi, and a nameless pensioner who puts all her livelihood into the offertory plate! As ever, the characters the Bible brings before us as heroes of the faith are persons whom the community at

    A priest by the name of Wes Seeliger was shopping for a motorcycle. The Harley-Davidson salesperson bragged ‘this machine will go from 0 to 150 in 20 seconds. It will hug the road at 150 km/h. It will outrun anything on wheels. What do you do for a living, sir.’ ‘I’m a priest’ Seeliger said. ...read more

    How will i be clothed when he comes again

    Advent 2 Romans 13.11-14 ‘Waken up!’ If you are not a morning person you must really hate those words. If you just love that feeling of rolling over and going back to sleep then to hear those words, accompanied by the duvet being pulled back must really rank up there as the worst way to start the ...read more

    Jesus is the light of the world who through his birth brought new hope to the world.

    Today is the fourth, and final, Sunday of Advent. Very shortly we will be celebrating Christmas – the festival which bears our Saviour’s name. Each year we seem to move further and further away from the religious ideals of Christmas and nearer and nearer to an orgy of conspicuous consumption. We ...read more
