     | 7,969 views

    James and John wanted to to sit at Christ's side in His kingdom - is this raw ambition? or is there something else here we can learn from?

    Ambition Matthew 20:20 - 28 Today we see two of Jesus' closest disciple being ambitious, the request to sit at Christ's side in His kingdom.

    Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Sep 5, 2024
     | 379 views

    Becoming a discerning child of God is not an easy task and this is where the Lord's prayer come to our aid. What is God's will to be done here on earth as it is in Heaven - this is NOT a new problem as it has been with us since the beginning of time. Does Jesus have the answer?

    Becoming a discerning child of God - Let your name be made holy, - let your kingdom come, - let your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. One of the key components of intercession is the recognition that without us God's hands are tied and without God our hands are empty. Another is ...read more

    There are many questions surrounding the raising of Lazarus from the dead by Jesus. The sermon is designed for Passion Sunday but can be easily adapted as it explains the context surrounding 'why Jesus had to die'

    Implications of raising Lazarus When I go to the gym and join classes I always keep an eye on the clock. I like to know when it’s halfway- if it’s a hard class I’ve endured the 1st half, and downhill now to the end. Similarly if it’s a boring class. half way- not long to go now. Half way - ...read more

    Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Mar 29, 2023
     | 1,452 views

    Who is in control at Christ's trial? Pilate wanted to release Jesus but changed his mind. Caiaphas effectively blackmails Pilate into doing his will in getting rid of Jesus. But Jesus remains cool, charm and collective. The crowd who are stirred up in demanding the death of Jesus.

    The Serenity of Christ before Pilate I’m sure many of you here this morning have visited Coventry Cathedral and left with some sort of reaction to that Church, dedicated to the Glory of God in the name of St. Michael and All Angels. It is the sort of modern Cathedral building you either love or ...read more

    Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Aug 11, 2024
     | 916 views

    The Lord's Prayer is an integral part of our prayer life and its so easy to take it for granted - to say it without thinking what we are saying or thinking. The Lord's Prayer was the result of the disciples asking Jesus to teach them to prayer.

    Sometimes we have unpleasant things we have to do. Awkward situations we would rather avoid. People we would rather not meet. Tasks we put aside and hope that they will go away. One such task is writing a difficult letter – to a friend or relative who has recently been bereaved. Where do you ...read more

     | 587 views

    Sometime we repeat prayers over and over again and do not stop to think about what we are saying. The Lord's prayer falls into this category - we need to stop and think about each phrase and use it as our prayer.

    The Pattern of prayer Sometimes when we say something in worship perhaps we do not stop and think what we are actually saying and when we do we wonder what on earth do we mean by that?

    Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Aug 24, 2024
     | 583 views

    Learning to call God Father: Our Father; who is in heaven. Do you know the wonderful thing about scripture is that you can read, re-read and read again the SAME passage and each time get something different from it! Many times nothing at all but sometimes there is that flash of inspiration when ...read more
