THIS IS A HOMILY I GAVE DURING MY ORDINATION THANKSGIVING MASS
“Jesus took pity on them because they were like Sheep without shepherd.” Today we ask ourselves what those words mean as we celebrate a birth in the priestly family. What could the Gospel be teaching us about the priesthood in that imagery of the sheep and the shepherd? More so as ...read more

Time and again in the New Testament we see Jesus sharing parables and stories related to shepherds and sheep. It’s very very common. From psalm 23, talking about the rod and staff of the shepherd, to Jesus calling himself “the gate for the sheep” it’s throughout the scriptures.
“Dr. Andrew Bonar told me how, in the Highlands of Scotland, a sheep would often wander off into the rocks and get into places that they couldn't get out of. The grass on these mountains is very sweet and the sheep like it, and they will jump down ten or twelve feet, and then they can't ...read more

Jesus knows what Peter did, and restores him, and commissions him. Jesus leaves no sheep behind. Also, the two words for love don't matter at all-- Peter isn't trying to trick Jesus.
Let's start today by rereading our passage from two weeks ago, John 20:19-23: (19) Then, when it was evening on that day-- the first day of the week, and the doors having been shut where the disciples were because of fear of the Judeans-- Jesus came, and he stood in their midst, and he says to ...read more
Scripture: John 21:1-25
The parables of the lost are all about lost sinners returning to the Lord. There is also another message in these parables that give us direct access to God, if you only but look.
Prayer: My I speak in the name of the father, son and holy ghost, and let the words of my mouth and the meditation of our hearts be acceptable in your sight, Amen, Thanks Martyn.

GOD IS GOD AND I AM NOT, it’s an easy thing to say but it is entirely different to live out on a daily basis. We say that we pray and have faith in God but over and over again we seem to either grow impatient or deep down we believe that God won’t actually listen to our prayers.

Peter goes down in the history books for a number of things:
(1) He is known for his impulsiveness. It is always a good policy that, before we do something, we stop and think about what we are preparing to do. Why? Because the decisions we make come with consequences. But Peter is the kind of fellow that did things, and generally suffered the ...read more
Scripture: 1 Peter 1:1-12
In a previous sermon, Peter spoke to us about "Our relationship to each other."

Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. How then, can Jesus link our eternal destinies as "sheep" or "goats" to what we have done; i.e., whether we have served one another?
All right. Everybody buckled up? Good. We may get jostled about a bit this morning, but our destination will be worth the drive. Let’s start with a question.
