    A sermon for the Sunday of Epiphany, encouraging us to develop in ourselves the capacity to experience our own epiphanies of faith

    Matthew 2:1-12 Experiencing Epiphany It isn’t very often that, here in (this part of) the UK, we get a ‘White Christmas’. In fact, last year (2008) we had a White Easter! But the last time I remember that we had ‘significant’ snowfall was at this time in 2004 – even then it missed Christmas ...read more

    Of Superstars And Starlight Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 4, 2009
     | 3,530 views

    We have not yet learned the difference between superficial superstars and the starlight wisdom of Jesus. He transforms gold into Kingdom power, frankincense into respect, and myrrh into the preface for resurrection.

But if you listened carefully and let your defenses down a notch or two, their work communicated the ...read more

However, as we have discovered, the trend in these classics seem to be a bad ‘gal’! ...read more
