    A sermon for Candlmass inspired by David Mitchell's novel "Cloud Atlas". I only discovered the day after giving this that Cloud Atlas is about to be turned in a Hollywood Blockbuster.

    This is Cloud Atlas. [show a physical copy of the book]. I wonder, have you read it perhaps? Or perhaps you heard about it when it was shortlisted for the booker prize. I remember when I read it - it’s not a book you forget. There are six stories in it, and each story breaks off half way ...read more

    Show video from You Tube “WWYD? - No shoes, no shirt, no pants, no service!” I cannot watch this video without being overcome by emotions.

    Motive is what is dealt with, & the church today needs to examine the motive for our ministries. We know what we are doing, but do we know why we are doing it? Many a good work is ruined before God because of a bad motive.

    GALATIANS 6: 11-18 MARKED BY FREEDOM [2 Corinthians 11:18-33] The Holy Spirit inspired Paul to add these closing words to give one more contrast between the legalists & the Spirit-led Christians. The Spirit-led live for the glory of Christ, not the praise of man. Motive is what is dealt ...read more

    You are not called to be hunkering down by things that haunt you.

    I am not a believer in true ghosts as we think of them in human culture. They are not disembodied souls wandering about because they cannot cross over or are condemned to wander the earth for their sins like Jacob Marley. No loved one comes back from Heaven and no one can come back from Hell. ...read more

    Moses representing the Law of God, stands before Pharaoh i.e. the devil, and when everything is on the line, literally laid on the ground, the rod of Aaron i.e. the power of the Priesthood simply swallows the representation of the enemies ability
