    What Are We Waiting For?

    Contributed by Ian Bullock on May 18, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,304 views

    Are we waiting in eager expectation for the gift of the Spirit? A heavy re-work of a much earlier sermon from many years ago, which is looking to provoke a change in peoples perspectives.

    In the Name of the living God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. Very, very occasionally I will head off somewhere on a train, and as I look around the platform, it doesn’t take too long to see that there is a difference between how adults and children wait for its arrival. As you stand ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 8,057 views

    A look at the challenges that Jesus lays down in this passage, and how it speaks to us here and now, and how we need to stay strong and united for the road ahead

    In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. At the end of a busy day, after we have had tea, and Mikki has gone to bed, I will often crash on the sofa and watch a film, but more often than not it has to be a film that grabs me straight away otherwise I can get bored if it takes too long ...read more

    The Challenge Of Observing A Holy Lent

    Contributed by Ian Bullock on Feb 9, 2021
     | 3,236 views

    How do we understand Pauls words to the Church in Corinth, and the Transfiguration as we stand at the cusp of Lent. This sermon looks to focus our thoughts and actions as we enter this Holy season

    In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. Today we stand on the cusp of Lent, in only three days’ time we will gather again as we receive our ashing and commit ourselves to living a Holy Lent. But for some, perhaps even some who are joining us for worship this morning, there will ...read more

    Ash Wednesday

    Contributed by Ian Bullock on Feb 16, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,545 views

    What does the journey of Lent mean to us, and why is Ash Wednesday such an important beginning point for us as Christians.

    In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. Remember thou art dust and to dust thou shalt return, turn away from sin and be faithful to Christ. Words which we recognise to be as central today to our worship, as our act of communion. They signal the beginning of the Holy season of Lent ...read more

    Why Are We Offended? - Sermon For Proper 15 - Year A

    Contributed by Ian Bullock on Aug 13, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,457 views

    Looking at why the Pharisees were offended, and how the woman who was likened to a dog wasn't. Then thinking about why we are offended by the things of the world.

    In the name of the Father, Son and Holy spirit. Amen. Over the past few weeks we have spoken about the positive aspects of being sown and planting seed within life, and as I read this week’s Gospel, I wanted to just think about one other aspect, one which perhaps we don’t often like to consider, ...read more

    Unity Of The Church - Sermon For Proper 16 - Year A

    Contributed by Ian Bullock on Aug 19, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,132 views

    An challenging exploration of what it means to be the church here and now. This is a re-work of a much older sermon of mine, which feels as relevant now as it did years ago. The analogy was used from another source, although I cannot now remember where that source is.

    In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. Throughout the Gospels we see Jesus involved in situations where a number of profound questions are asked. Questions such as Pilate asking what is truth, or what is power, and today our Gospel leaves us with another when he asks his ...read more

    A short Christmas Eve Devotion written to explain the significance of the Word becoming flesh for us.

    THE TECHNOLOGICAL DRIVE FOR PERFECTION Ever since I was a little boy, I have always been fascinated by the steady march forward of technology. I used to love going to the school library and picking up a copy of Popular Mechanics to see what new gadget, or computer, or AI system was being ...read more

    Contributed by Ian Bullock on Aug 28, 2020
     | 2,443 views

    How do we demonstrate our willingness to follow Christ in our lives - The illustration was found on the internet, but I am unsure of the original source

    In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. ‘Then Jesus told his disciples, ‘If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it. ...read more

    Contributed by Ian Bullock on Sep 4, 2020
     | 3,036 views

    Where two or three are gathered in my name. How do we work together to be the church and a living witness to the grace of God within the world

    In the name of the father, and the son, and the holy spirit, amen. I came upon this prayer, which I thought was very apt as we come to unfold the scripture, so let’s begin by praying. Jesus said where two or three are gathered in my name there I am among them, then this must be a holy people a ...read more

    Staying In The Fight: Spiritual Warfare In The 21st Century

    Contributed by Ian Hyde on Mar 26, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 8,345 views

    Do you believe there are forces around us, influencing our lives, which are battling for control of our world? This sermon makes the case that spiritual warfare is very real, and that at the end of the day we all serve one side or the other, whether we want to admit it or not.

    INTRODUCTION Do you believe in spiritual warfare? Do you believe there are forces around us, influencing our lives, which are battling for control of our world? It sounds sort of conspiratorial doesn’t it? It sounds like something that drives the plot of a movie, or maybe a sensationalist blog ...read more

    Finding Our Worth In Christ

    Contributed by Ian Hyde on Mar 26, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,170 views

    In a culture obsessed with self-image, how do we find our self-worth and redefine ourselves in the image of Christ?

    American Individualism I want you to take a moment, as we reflect on this verse, to think about the culture we find ourselves in today. At its heart, it is a very individualistic, self-centered and image obsessed culture. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love this country and the people in it. But we ...read more

    The Call To Holiness

    Contributed by Ian Hyde on Mar 26, 2019
    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,971 views

    The call to holiness is one which we all share. But none of us are called because we are good enough. In fact, by our own efforts none of us could ever be good enough. And yet each of us is called to a purpose greater than any of us could imagine.

    A Strange Encounter Imagine for a moment a young woman waking early, just before dawn to begin her daily chores. Still groggy with sleep though the morning is cold and quiet, she feeds the animals, and gathers water for the day’s washing. As she fills her bucket at the well, she imagines the life ...read more

    A Light In The Darkness

    Contributed by Ian Hyde on Mar 29, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,527 views

    The beautiful truth of Christ's mission is that God was not just content to contain darkness or to hold it at bay for a while. Instead, he pierced the heart of it and conquered it on our behalf.

    INTRODUCTION The passage just read is probably one of my favorite Christmas passages from one of my favorite books of the Bible. In fact, it is one of the reasons Isaiah has sometimes been called the “fifth gospel”, because between this, 7:14, 11:1-9, and chapter 53, we have an almost complete ...read more

    Dressing In Layers

    Contributed by Ian Hyde on Mar 30, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,950 views

    Being prepared to face the elements! This sermon gets the congregation involved by (comically) demonstrating the need to "dress in layers", clothing ourselves in true virtue, bearing one another up in love, and worshiping together as a community.

    OPENING STORY My freshman year of college, I was blessed with the opportunity to take a quarter class in Denver learning about urban development and strategies for alleviating poverty. Now, I could claim that my motivations were noble, and they somewhat were. I mean, I really did want to help ...read more

    Taking The Journey

    Contributed by Ian Hyde on Apr 1, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,375 views

    God’s call to take the journey to worship the newborn king isn’t just for those born to privilege, or those born in the church. It isn’t just for pastors, scholars, and religious leaders. No, God’s call to worship is for anyone who will listen.

    OPENING STORY An old king sat uncomfortably on his throne, fingernails dug into well-worn grooves in the wood as he waited nervously for the mysterious travelers to approach. All Jerusalem was abuzz with the rumors that these men were searching for a new heir which had just been born, yet neither ...read more
