    Father Dave’s sermon on the miracle of the feeding of the 5000, and what Jesus means when he says he is ’the bread of life.’

    I don’t know what your week has been like, but I’ve had a week that has been full of typical priest-type things: visiting the sick and organising weddings, baptisms and funerals.

    John 9 is a compelling chapter in John’s Gospel. The healing of the man born blind confronts us with our own spiritual blindness. As we read, we are confronted with the same question that Jesus presents him, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?" Jesus, the

    John presents his gospel in much the same way that a lawyer presents evidence in a kind of divine trial. He compels his “jury” to make a decision for themselves about Jesus – “do you believe or not?” The gospel is often divided into two sections – the Book of Signs (chapters 1-12) and the Book of ...read more

    Jesus said we must eat his flesh and drink his blood to have eternal life. We want to get the life of Jesus in us so we must eat divine food.

    “You Are What You Eat.” John 6:56-69 Jesus has just fed 5,000 people and then tried to get away a while for a little rest to kick back with his closest friends and regroup, but the crowds kept following him. He knows they just want another free meal. If we look back in verse 26 in chapter 6, ...read more

    When we read the accounts of the resurrection of Jesus it seems as if His enemies believed He had risen and His followers did not. In this contemporary world many are trying to put Jesus back into the tomb and re-seal it with the stone of death!

    Friday! Jesus is dead. The sinless Son of God given as a sacrifice for our salvation. He is dead. Not so fast, buddy! Jesus is ALIVE!!! Just three days after He was crucified and put into a guarded sealed tomb! And, we’ve got two amazing groups of people 1) His enemies who know He’s ...read more
