Mary And The Passion Of Jesus

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Mar 13, 2018

Simeons prediction that, 'A sword will pierce your own soul too' to Mary was to come true time and time again and how it must of hurt. Mary was there and watch the happy, the terrible and horrific moments of her Son ministry but could do nothing.

Mary and the Passion of Jesus The words of Simeon spoken in the temple to Mary: "This child is destined for the falling and the rising of many in Israel....and a sword will pierce your own soul too." I wonder what Mary made of this, did she expected it to lead to death on a cross? There she ...read more

The Song Of Simeon, At Christmas?

Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Nov 10, 2014

Even in Advent, the song of Simeon, does not appear as being festive; but it is necessary in the build-up to meet with Jesus; and I will warn you just now, it pushes our faith to the limit; but it does provide relieve.

Welcome Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. Today is the first Sunday of Advent and the children this morning will be retiring to the hall to make our Advent wreath and they will bring it into the service after the Intercessions so that the first candle can ...read more

A Carpenter's Dream

Contributed by Perry Anderson on Dec 4, 2014

Although we know little about Joseph’s life, we know quite a bit about his character from his actions. He demonstrated great faith. We can learn much from living Holy lives by following the example set by Joseph.

Joseph is too often overlooked in the Christmas story. We must never fail to acknowledge the role he played in the life of Jesus. It wasn't just a coincidence that he was engaged to be married to Mary. He was chosen by God for this special calling...to be the earthly father of Jesus. God in His ...read more

Simeon’s Prayer – Content With Jesus Series

Contributed by Sherm Nichols on Nov 17, 2011

Looking at Simeon's prayer to understand the ability to let go of this life comes from first embracing Jesus. We need to learn to accept that having Jesus is "enough."
