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’?

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

There at Rephidim, the Amalekites, nomadic descendants of Esau, began to conduct assaults against ...read more

Of learning to see God when He draws near. Advent, at its heart, is a season of holy attentiveness—where the people of ...read more
