Feast of Christ the King

The 24th November is the feast day of Christ the King. Daniel 7: 9-10, 13, 14 John 18: 33-37 As we acknowledge Jesus as Lord and King, we are redeemed and become people with a changed status. We, unlike UK citizens under King Charles, have entered into a different Kingdom, one we enter into by choice.Continue reading “Feast of Christ the King”

Miracles

There are thirty-seven miracles recorded in the four Gospels, and the feeding of the 5,000 (20,000 counting the women and children too!) is the only one recorded in all four Gospels. It is set shortly after Jesus had heard about John the Baptist’s beheading by Herod. In his sadness, Jesus had gathered His followers to talkContinue reading “Miracles”

Sir David Attenborough would often remind us that we needed to provide more care for the natural world, and God’s creation is a common theme in our Bible readings today. Psalm 104:Continue reading “Creation Sunday”

An urgent response to a divine invitation

In the past, I spent a lot of time walking in the mountains of North Wales with my two springer spaniels. I found myself completely immersed in nature, admiring the beauty of God’s creation. Sheep would often graze in the fields and, occasionally, I caught a glimpse of shepherds tending to their flock. Today, IContinue reading “An urgent response to a divine invitation”

Bible Sunday and a spiritual awakening

Bible Sunday is the day when we celebrate the Bible, and it reminds us of the central role that the Bible plays in Christian faith and practice. The Bible provides guidance and inspiration, and Bible Sunday gives us the opportunity to reflect on the Bible’s importance in our church’s history and identity. There is aContinue reading “Bible Sunday and a spiritual awakening”
