My Cousin Louie

Contributed by Rusty Wright on Jun 27, 2007

We all focus far too much on the things that make churches different rather than the faith that makes us all one in Christ.

My Cousin Louie 6-24-07 Galatians 3:23-29 I think we all know what it means to follow the “letter of the law.” It means you do exactly what you are told to do, no more, no less. And, often, when we tell somebody to do something, especially someone who works for us, we expect them to do it ...read more

The Wilderness.

The Meaning Of It All.

THE MEANING OF IT ALL. Luke 24. It is reported in all four Gospels that the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ took place on the first day of the week, when the Sabbath was over. Not only was it the dawn of a new day, it was the dawn of a new week. Not only was it the dawn of a new week, but ...read more

What's Done Is Done

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 9, 2009

For Christmas Eve Communion: what God has done in Christ means that peace has been accomplished, and this world’s contradictions have been resolved. The Father’s love has embraced us.

“What’s done is done." We say it when we want to pronounce the final words, when we want to speak the ultimate truth. "What’s done is done", as if so obvious a truth really needed stating. "What’s done is done.” It becomes a way of insisting that there is no more to be said, no more to do, no ...read more

Are You 'whole'? Are You Thankful?

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Oct 17, 2007

A short talk given at a midweek communion service. Anyone (absolutely anyone) who calls out to Jesus for pity, mercy, forgiveness, will receive it; but are we thankful? Are we ’whole’?

Jesus brings wholeness. We bring thankfulness. What have you brought with you to this service of Holy Communion today? By that I don’t mean shopping trolleys, or shopping lists, or an umbrella in case it rains, or that letter which you forgot to post. What have you brought to Church today? Have you ...read more
