  • Passover Jesus To Pilate

    Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Mar 24, 2018
     | 5,516 views

    How much do we really understand about the context behind the trial and death of Jesus. Why were the Jews so insistent that Jesus should be put to death and what's more by the hated Romans?

    Passover Jesus to Pilate It is the feast of the Passover in the city of Jerusalem around AD30. The city is full of pilgrims from all over the Mediterranean world to attend this great national festival when they celebrated their release from slavery in the land of Egypt. Now they were effectively ...read more

  • Why Did Jesus Die?

    Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Mar 24, 2018
     | 5,765 views

    Jesus died a very brutal death and Christian know that by his death we have life. But at the time what were the charges that the Jews had to warrant death and why did they pass Jesus over to the Romans to do their dirty work?

    Why did Jesus Die? The ministry of Jesus lasted just over 3 years and we have the gospels that relate and record that ministry. A wealth of material to guide our Christian living, to offer us hope and to give us a strong faith. And yet out of all the gospels that last week of Jesus predominates, ...read more

    Easter Day and April 1st doesn't coincide very often but it has a valuable lesson for us in that God's wisdom in raising Jesus from the dead corrects forever the foolishness of mankind.

    EASTER Wisdom - April 1st!? 'Who says God doesn't have a sense of humour!' Twitter erupts with hilarious posts about the fact that Easter Day falls on the same day as April Fool's day - while Ash Wednesday is on Valentine's Day.

  • The Resurrection Brings New Peace

    Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Apr 2, 2018
     | 5,667 views

    When we look on our world we see all sorts of violence, terror and war. Innocent men, women and children caught up in situations way beyond their control so they flee for their lives. The Resurrection of Jesus brings peace - an inner peace.

    The Resurrection Brings New Peace John 20:19-20:31 What is the message of Easter for you this year? If you think about it the Easter message is very positive especially for those who live constantly in fear: fear of failure, fear of death, fear of so many things,….. The first words Jesus ...read more

  • Too Good To Be True?

    Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Apr 2, 2018

     | 8,129 views

    After Thomas had witnessed the risen Jesus he doubted no more. It might of been too good to be true but he had witnessed it first hand and that always helps.

    TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE? JOHN 20:19-31. We live in a sceptical world where human nature finds it difficult to believe in anything good. In fact we find it easy to believe in something bad and prefer to believe in a white lie rather than believe in the truth. We say, "its too good to be true." But ...read more

  • The Wounds Of Jesus

    Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Apr 10, 2018
     | 4,160 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

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,059 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

    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,388 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

  • Good News

     | 6,388 views

    St Mark opens his gospel in a very unique way, its all about good news, a wonderful story all about Jesus Christ the Son of God. What better story can you have!

    GOOD NEWS – Mark 1:1-11 I'm sure most of you have been abroad for your holidays and like me had a problem in talking to the locals. In fact to be honest I'm not very good at English let alone a foreign languages - I get totally lost and confused. When I was in Tenerife I went shopping and had an ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,961 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.

  • The Greatest Gift Of All

    Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Dec 14, 2017
     | 6,089 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

    Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Jan 1, 2018
     | 4,197 views

    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

    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

     | 3,966 views

    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.

    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
