    The sermon portrays Joseph knocking on the door and the Inn Keeper said, "there is no room." Also let us consider our response as Jesus is knocking on our hearts door and who will get the door.

    What a fantastic Pslam! This is a short talk using illustrations from shepherding, and the experience of an evangelist in hospital.

    King David, the author of Psalm 23, trained as a shepherd. He knew exactly what it meant to care for, tend, feed and protect a flock of sheep. So when he wrote this Psalm I can picture him meditating on his own experiences, and realising that God was in them. Now I don’t know about you but ...read more
