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”

Our faith isContinue reading “A season of Bright Sadness”
Creation Sunday
If you have ever had the opportunity to watch any of the Planet Earth series, then you will have been captivated by them. 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”
