Are You 'whole'? Are You Thankful?

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Oct 17, 2007

A short talk given at a midweek communion service. Anyone (absolutely anyone) who calls out to Jesus for pity, mercy, forgiveness, will receive it; but are we thankful? Are we ’whole’?

Jesus brings wholeness. We bring thankfulness. What have you brought with you to this service of Holy Communion today? By that I don’t mean shopping trolleys, or shopping lists, or an umbrella in case it rains, or that letter which you forgot to post. What have you brought to Church today? Have you ...read more

Chrstmas - Disappointment & Joy

Contributed by Joseph Neil Adams on Dec 29, 2007

So often Christmas is a let down instead of full of joy - could it be because our focus is on us not Him?

There is a story told of a young lad who wrote a more unusual letter to Santa, not asking for this toy or that one but saying: ‘you didn’t bring me anything good last year or the year before. This is your last chance’! You know a bit like that boy we all know that often Christmas often can be a ...read more

Jesus Takes The Plunge

Contributed by Andrew Drummond on Nov 13, 2008

Why is it that Jesus, God in the flesh, felt it necessary to do the whole baptism thing? What great lengths Jesus went to to be our example.

Try to imagine with me for a minute the scene as John the Baptist is in the Jordan River. John has devoted his life to paving a way for Jesus as was prophesied over him by his father Zechariah. People living during his time would have regarded him as a bit of a nut with his camel hair one piece and ...read more
