    based on 109 ratings

    Given in a young adult’s prison, this sermon challenges the temptation to violence and intimidation and take the braver option: to walk away and come to Christ

    Given at HM Prison Moorland, Doncaster, 27th August 2000 In the name of the +Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen. You have probably heard the saying “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen”. Now, this is not a reference to the way I cook, but if you like things done crispy on ...read more

     | 5,392 views

    When viewed from one angle, some things can look quite strange, but when viewed from another they can be quite different: as it is with the Mass. Given in a Young Offender’s Prison.

    Given at HM Prison Moorlands, Doncaster, 20th August 2000 In the name of the +Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. There has been a bit of fuss and bother in the newspapers recently about goal celebrations. Have you seen it? Time was when a goal was scored there would be a polite round of ...read more

  • Hopes And Dreams At Christmas

    Contributed by Simon Harrison on Apr 4, 2001
    based on 54 ratings
     | 3,764 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
     | 3,415 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. The millennium has made it quite a popular topic of conversation, and for some people the idea of God’s coming ...read more

     | 12,802 views

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

    I have recently been feeling a little guilty about failing to renew my membership of Amnesty International. This feeling particularly strikes when I hear in the news of some injustice somewhere in a far flung corner of the globe. I suppose that if I was still in amnesty, I would still ...read more

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

    Contributed by Simon Harrison on Apr 4, 2001
    based on 46 ratings
     | 3,175 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

  • Palm Sunday- What Do We Expect?

    Contributed by Simon Harrison on Apr 5, 2001
    based on 115 ratings
     | 5,187 views

    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

  • More Than Can Be Measured By The Clock

    Contributed by Simon Rundell on Oct 26, 2001
    based on 134 ratings
     | 5,913 views

    Funeral Service for a 4 year old child, who was buried in a Natural Burial Site, after a long battle with an agressive cancer.

    When a child dies, we are inclined to say “What a pity he was taken before he was ripe and able to bear fruit”. We speak of promise rather than actual achievement. This would be quite unfair to XXXXXX. We don’t speak in the same way of a new blade of wheat: we appreciate it for what it is – a ...read more
