  • The Joy Of Easter

    Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Apr 24, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,075 views

    Easter is the most fantastic time of the year, a time to be positive and time of joy. Christ is risen from the dead, death has lost its sting.

    The Joy of Easter Easter is a celebration of Christ’s victory over death and our hope for eternal life - surely if ever there was anything this gives us hope it is this - the Resurrection. Easter day for me is the most positive day in the year, a day of Joy and Sunshine, a day of happiness and ...read more

  • The Honour Of Second Place

    Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Jan 17, 2017
     | 4,931 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
     | 3,816 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.

    The Best is Yet to Come Gospel reading: John 2:1-12 from the New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) The Wedding at Cana 1 On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. 2 Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine gave ...read more

    God's gift of Love is the most valuable and precious gift of all and our world would be such a wonderful place if we all expressed and practiced the merits of that love in our daily lives.

    Agape LOVE Today’s collect for the 2nd Sunday after Trinity is all about true LOVE and emphasises its true value: Pour into our hearts that most excellent gift of Love, the true bond of peace and of all virtues, without which whoever lives is counted dead before You.

  • Implications Of Raising Lazarus

    Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Mar 27, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,061 views

    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

  • The Serenity Of Christ Before Pilate

    Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Mar 29, 2023
     | 1,535 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 Dec 2, 2023
     | 1,683 views

    Jesus said - I am the light of the world - the implications and the meaning of this saying is profound. As we approach Christmas, the birth of Jesus the light of the world, the season of Advent prepares us for this wonderful gift from God - His Son.

    Jesus the light of life, the Light of the world This service of Darkness into Light is just fantastic - full of symbolism and meaning and especially applicable on this 1st Sunday of Advent as we approach Christmas when we celebrate the birth of the light of the world.

    Where do you get your inspiration from? Life has a lot of ups and downs so we need inspiration to keep going.

    Inspiration – Rev. 11 and 19 LIfe is full of its ups and downs, it’s a fact of life, indeed everyday has something to answer for- some for joy and some – well perhaps best forgotten.

  • The Wounds Of Jesus

    Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Apr 10, 2018
     | 4,271 views

    The wounds of Jesus were very visible after the Resurrection of His body but not always. Why didn't the disciples always recognise the risen Jesus? Was He different in some way?

    The Wounds of Jesus – Luke 24:40 There is a statue of the Risen Christ called the Majestus in Llandaff Cathedral a sculpture by Epstein, in South Wales UK and it predominates the nave of the cathedral but can by familiarity be unnoticed. But if you take notice and look at the detail – Christ is ...read more

     | 4,135 views

    Jesus said that He was the Good Shepherd, the kind of Shepherd that looks after and protects the sheep - Jesus not only preached this but lived up to it to the full, even to dying so as to protect the sheep.

    The Good Shepherd John 10: 11-18 Today’s reading is part of a dialogue which culminates in one of the ‘I AM’ saying of Jesus. St John’s gospel is renowned for its I AM sayings as it gives a unique picture of Jesus and the characteristics of the Son of God. Those two words in themselves are very ...read more

     | 11,511 views

    We might know a lot of people and some we might call our friends - what are the characteristics of a friend, what do we look for in a friend? Jesus calls us His friends - are we worthy of this wonderful relationship with our saviour?

    WHAT IS TRUE FRIENDSHIP? JOHN 15:9-17. Jesus tells us that we are His friends. What are the basic elements of friendship? There is acceptance. A friendship is composed of two people who accept each other as they are. I may not understand everything I know about you; I may not even like some of ...read more

    The door of opportunity is there for the taking and John in Revelation outlines this for the Church in Philadelphia.

    An open DOOR Rev.3:7-13 Of all the seven churches in the book of Revelation, Philadelphia was the ideal Church, and the one against which Jesus had no accusations nor did He find any sin there. However, Philadelphia was not a perfect city it was a city of many temples, and was called “the little ...read more

  • Teach Us To Pray Series

    Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Aug 11, 2024
     | 1,034 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
