based on 76 ratings

How to pray. How God answers prayer. How we should not badger God for material needs but use prayer to open our hearts to a true dialogue with God, and why God failed to let me win the lottery despite the fact that I had prayed for it.

Lot’s of people sing songs at Christmas and don’t think about what they mean. We’re going to put three popular songs together and see how they’ll combine to tell us some christmas truth

Old, new, borrowed and true I suppose it must be a sign of ageing that I really enjoy TV programmes like ‘I love the 70s As soon as they start to show those nostalgic clips and play the songs I used to listen to the memories come flooding back There’s something about music that does that – ...read more

Hopes And Dreams At Christmas

Contributed by Simon Harrison on Apr 4, 2001

based on 54 ratings

| 3,468 views

We all need to treat our own dreams and the hopes of those around us with respect, because it is easier to crush someone’s hope than to be with them as they look towards a difficult future.

Hopes and Dreams- Langdon Christmas Service (A Secure Forensic Hospital for patients with psychiatric and/or learning disabilities) Christmas is quite a strange time, full of contradictions. For many, it is a time of happiness and excitement- for others, a time carrying many sad memories. But ...read more

Prophesy- The Present Or The Future?

Contributed by Simon Harrison on Apr 4, 2001

based on 58 ratings

| 3,208 views

Prophesy is less about strange words and more about speak God’s truth plainly to the present

Prophesy- The present or the future? Over the past few months, I have had many people talk to me about the prophesies found in the bible, especially those given in the Revelation of John.

How do we cope with our guilt feelings about things we can’t change in the world?

Forgiveness- What Do We Carry And What Do We Let Go?

Contributed by Simon Harrison on Apr 4, 2001

based on 46 ratings

| 2,973 views

Forgiveness is not about accepting that something wrong is somehow right, or trying to forget it: a prayerful reflection on Matthew 18.

Today I would like to say a few words about things in our lives that we carry and things that we let go. I find today’s Gospel reading one of the most challenging in the Bible. With any apology, Jesus talks quite bluntly about the forgiveness God offers to us, and the expectation God has of us, as ...read more

based on 115 ratings

A simple exploration of what Jesus’ arrival in Jerusalem might have been like without the benefit of hindsight- and what this teaches us today.

I remember as a small child really enjoying palm Sunday. At a small church in the middle of nowhere, I have this memory of being given a palm cross and being told to wave it about. Waving things about was what I was normally told NOT to do, so perhaps this is why it stuck in my mind. The other ...read more
