In Covid-19 lockdown, life is all about NOT being in crowds, how can we celebrate Palm Sunday

This is the day … “This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.” Well, I don’t know about you, but it feels more like “how shall we sing the Lord’s song in a strange land”. That’s from Psalm 137:4 and was the Jews response to being exiled to Babylon. WE/US Let US ...read more

Sinful But Called

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 5, 2025

The power of God’s word, spoken to Peter and the others by the very Word of God, Son of the Father, was enough to kick in the adrenaline and motivate the fishermen to fish longer in the worst time of day in the part of the lake with the worst prospects.

These professionals had just worked at least ten hours and were ready to go home. Jesus came along with hundreds of ...read more

The Name Above All Names At Which We Bend Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 9, 2025

No, the reading that is crucial to an understanding of ...read more
