    based on 1 rating
     | 5,367 views

    John the Baptist pre-figured and prepared the way for the ministry of Jesus but the religious authorities of the day could not understand what John was doing in his preaching and especially in baptising Jewish people when there was no need to do so.

    THE WITNESS OF JOHN (John 1:19-28) In this 1st chapter of John’s gospel he begins his message, his good news to demonstrate that Jesus is the Mind, the Reason, the Word of God come into this world in the form of a human being. Having set down this central thought, John now begins to tell the ...read more

  • The Greatest Gift Of All

    Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Dec 14, 2017
     | 5,612 views

    Christmas is a time of sharing presents and each other's company, a time when rifts between family members should be healed. During the WW1 on Christmas Eve the British and Germans stopped killing each other as Christ's message of PEACE prevailed.

    THE GREATEST GIFT OF ALL. JOHN 1:1-18. The 1914 secret truce between the German and British soldiers has been told many times but it’s certainly worth repeating. In many ways it is surely the miracle of Christmas and its meaning was made manifest in the action of the soldiers who brought to light ...read more

  • Do Not Be Afraid

    The message of Christmas is sometimes lost in the business of buying presents and getting ready for the big day. So the message of the angels announcing the birth of Jesus is reassuring, 'Do not be afraid' - Peace message.

    “Do not be afraid.” – said the angel Those words are right in the middle of the gospel reading we hear at Christmas - in fact the very first words that are spoken. “Do not be afraid.” And then it gets even better. “Behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the ...read more

     | 5,828 views

    The Wise Men seek the child Jesus and travel a long way from the East following a star, they even have to seek advice from King Herod to find Him. Its a little like a children's game of Hide and Seek.

    O GODHEAD HID. MATT. 2:1-12. One of the most popular games among children has to be hide-and-seek - the rules are very simple. One child closes their eyes and counts to a hundred, while all the others hide - "Are you ready? Here I come." And one by one they are sought out from their hiding places ...read more

    Jesus was born into a Jewish family as God's chosen Messiah for the Jews. The feast of the Epiphany when we celebrate to revealing of Jesus to the gentiles clearly shows that Jesus was born for everyone and is reaching out to YOU.

    God for ALL Matt 2:1-12 Today we have the readings for the feast of the Epiphany and from the early days of the Church, this feast has been considered in some ways more important than Christmas. Epiphany recalls the arrival of the magi to Bethlehem in search of the King of the Jews and 'epiphany' ...read more

  • We Three Kings

     | 5,535 views

    We all know the hymn, 'We three kings of orient are..' but do we know the gospel facts underpinning this hymn and the significance of that visit to the child Jesus?

    We 3 kings Matt 2:1-12 When you think of Christmas carols that are appropriate with Epiphany I’m sure you will come up with: “We Three Kings of Orient are. ...” But ironically in just that 1st line of 5 words there are 3 very slight errors but that does NOT subtract from the importance of this ...read more

  • The Honour Of Second Place

    Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Jan 17, 2017
     | 4,482 views

    In life there are those who seem to be born leaders but leaders need the essential support of others and appear to take 2nd place. The disciple of Jesus, Andrew shows us very clearly that there is Honour in taking Second Place.

    I’m sure in the past you have either applied for a job or some position and you attended an interview panel or selection board. Well picture the disciples before such an examining board which was appointed to choose Jesus' closest associates. Peter stood there smelling of fish -- uncouth, ...read more

  • St Peter And Hans Christian Andersen

    Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Jan 31, 2017
     | 3,497 views

    The first letter of Peter takes your breath away as he relates to the wonderful gift God has given us in His Son that we are children of God and inheritors of the kingdom of heaven. Andersen relates how God in Christ gives us a totally new view on life.

    St Peter and Hans Christian Andersen 1 Peter 1:3-12 There are few passages in the NT where more of the great fundamental Christian ideas come together than in this passage of St Peter. It begins with a doxology to God--but a doxology with a difference. For a Jew the commonest of all beginnings to ...read more

    Jesus keeps the vintage wine until everyone is drunk. This is the same for the vintage years of our lives - old age is viewed as something NOT to be thought of but Jesus shows us that our vintage year are the best yet to come.

    Arrow prayers are short prayers from your heart to the heart of God and express uniquely your feelings, desires, fear and wonder of a loving Father who is there ready and waiting to hear and act.

    Arrow prayers Have you ever been in the situation when you needed to pray an instant prayer for Gods help, in a situation of great danger? Many years ago I was travelling with friends on a country road near Aberthaw cement works. It was a very windy road, narrow with sharp bends. All of a sudden ...read more

    For the Samaritan woman at the water well the experience of meeting Jesus changed her life forever, we can share in her wonder.

    Sharing the Wonder John 4:5-30 Today’s gospel shows some astounding characteristics of Jesus. He was talking to a Samaritan woman, holding a conversation with her, and this was unheard of for a Rabbis to do – this was just NOT done. When Jesus said to her, ‘Give me a drink’ her reaction was ...read more

  • The Holy Spirit - Our Spiritual Aid

    Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on May 16, 2018
     | 4,417 views

    In John's gospel he refers to the Holy Spirit as the Comforter who will not leave us desolate. But when we look at different versions of the Bible different words are used, e.g. Advocate and Counsellor each having a different but significant meaning.

    The Holy Spirit - our spiritual aid John 14: 15-17 Have you ever lived life dangerously by taking a step into the unknown? A step of faith, you were in a situation when you were not sure what to do, you had to make decision and had no idea about the consequences of your actions. It was the kind ...read more

     | 4,893 views

    When the Holy Spirit was poured out on the disciples of Jesus on that first Whitsunday in a very real sense the Church was born. When a child is born we celebrate annually the date of that birth by giving presents but on the Church's birthday we receive.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY Today is a very special day in the life of the Church it’s not just because today is called Whitsunday or the feast of Pentecost,,,,, it is however related to what happened on that first Whitsunday The sending of the Holy Spirit on the disciples of Jesus.

  • But

    Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on May 28, 2018
     | 3,879 views

    We use the word 'But' quite frequently and it can change the meaning of something said. In the Bible the word BUT and the context is profound, we are not object of God's wrath as sometimes seen in the Old Testament but objects of His love.

    BUT… John 3:16-17 In my working life I’ve been on many training courses either related to management, finance, dealing with the media and so on.. One course still comes to mind when I was criticised for using the word’ ‘BUT’ I was using this simple and very significant little word to clarify ...read more
