Words are powerful and should be handled with care. They are tied so deeply to living. They reflect the truth that the only, one, true God speaks.
Such is the promise of Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit to the glory of the Father. What comfort, help, and strength that can be to counter violence, shame, fear, and death. Thank you, Holy Spirit!
Some things don't change and when it comes to our Triune God's grace and mercy that is good news!
The Beatitudes are not the programme to get blessings but give us an insight of Jesus and why following him is blessed.
Death can make us morose, afraid, and lots more which shrivels life to a husk. Only Jesus has broken its power. Anything else that claims a defeat of death is delusion.
The coronation of King Charles III provides a moment for everyone to consider the civic role in society. For Christians that always means following Jesus seeking to serve.
The sirens get our attention but do we listen? We do when we trust the messenger. When God in Jesus is trusted then we have alerts, advice, support, and help in all situations.
The power of the resurrection and the mystery of Holy Communion mean that people today can encounter Jesus and learn that He is for us and not against us and follow Him.
The Church is not just local and global but also spiritual and physical and meeting Jesus with others can be so enriching – spiritually and physically. Jesus always makes a difference each day!
In following Jesus, the Church wants to serve her neighbours – whether they're in eyesight or on the other side of the world. Working out how to serve takes wisdom and effort.
Mothers, Lent, and Jesus all combined – a story often unknown – and one which doesn't stop us from honouring our own Mum!

The world understands 'you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours' and that so many of our relationships are transactional – particularly in religion. Until we come to Christianity and Jesus that is! Then it is gift upon gift!
But Jesus has rescued us so that we can live in him and that life is better than anything we could have done on our own!
We have so many experiences and encounter many points of view that it is important to understand why we have the perspective we have. For Christians, the answer is seen in Jesus and who is and what he has done for us.
Christianity is more than ethics - how we behave - and Jesus is more than a teacher which is why following Jesus is really about relationships when you consider the cross.
Jesus breaks the stereotype of God – look at the cross – so that people may live. Jesus' followers break the stereotype of discipleship with laughter rather than asceticism – because a full life with Jesus involves everyone around his...
The Christian Faith is not disconnected from our lives but it exists and is lived in our situation – no matter what it is – because Jesus relates to us in all situations and no situation can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our
Each church year, the liturgical seasons can draw us closer to God because we are changing each year and God is faithfully still serving us each year.
Jesus doesn't simply influence life – he kills the sinful flesh and brings a new life (in him) into being – and that is far more radical than influencing.
Christmas, The Epiphany, Easter, anything about Jesus can seem to be about him with Jesus himself 'far away' and in one sense irrelevant but the power of words and the work of the Holy Spirit mean that people are still meeting Jesus through...
