    A sermon preached at a Methodist Covenant Service

    I have a great admiration for the commitment of those people who spend hours and hours, months, years even, trying to develop things, trying to invent new things. Some are more successful than others of course. One man called Arthur Pedrick patented 162 inventions between 1962 and 1977. None of ...read more

And had taken the women captives, that were therein: they slew not any, either great or ...read more

    If you want to meet Jesus, you won’t find him at the pinnacle of earthly successes; you have to climb down to the Cornerstone-Jesus is always at the bottom of things, holding everyone else up.

    Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:6-7 There are four points here, and, I believe, they are connected.
