How do we avoid distraction? Adventus - Coming Towards - What does Advent mean to you? - What does it mean for the church? We are living in fear of the future. People will die to try and find a safe place to live. The world is becoming more inhospitable as we create CO2. So where is the God of Love? How do we respond? How do we avoid distraction or despair? Jesus knew we tended to do this and told us to "be careful". Distraction becomes a burden and we get lost. Social Media makes this even more...

It's our Feast Day, the feast of Christ the King. But what does that mean? Ed looks into the origins of the day and how it was started by the Pope in 1925 as an emphasis on Christ after the mass annihilation of WW1. Ed then looks at As he was - feeding those who followed him As he is today - Christ the King is no longer with us as he was with his disciples. We reach out to the weary and serve in his name. As he will be forever - We are waiting for him to return, it sustains us and gives us somet...

What if disappointment is needed for your soul to truly encounter God? This miracle took place at the feast of tabernacles a major festival for the Jewish nation. Jesus has just used the analogy of the living water and the light of the candles in preaching before this miracle. The priests were very unhappy with this teaching. Jesus uses this miracle to make the point that his teaching in the days before is truthful God is not a moral vending machine. It is not more good in - more blessings out. ...

The only miracle featured in all 4 gospels and another classic we probably were taught at Sunday school. It must be important. Did God actually multiply the bread and fish or was his example enough to get everyone who had packed some food to share it so everyone was fed? It doesn't matter - both are miracles. Looking at today currently 1/3 of the planet has more than enough to eat, 1/3 have just enough and 1/3 starve. HARVEST - anagrams of HAVE STARVE SHARE HEARTS Those who HAVE , SHARE with tho...

Healing - it's very tricky. Why does God heal some , but not others? Mike draws the short straw! The seven signs we are studying are only in John. This is the 3rd sign and is weird and challenging. The pool had become a ritual bath with two enormous temples on either side to the God of Healing and the God of Fortune. But why does Jesus only heal 1? A guy who has been there 38 years. He responds to the one who is front of him. He doesn't heal them all though - there were probably many many people...

What's in Glyn's bag? Glyn uses one of his great stories about an eventful recent trip to Liverpool. John was bloved of Jesus and one of the youngest disciples - his gospel was essentially stories he told his followers that they wrote down. The text tells of an official who wanted Jesus to come back with him and heal his son. He wanted Jesus to work on his terms. We all love signs and they give us encouragement. We have to be sure we are more interested in the man than the miracle. Gods plan is ...

This sign is about the grace of the gospel , the good news that Jesus loves us, that God loves us. The wine he makes is the finest, the tastiest and there is a lot of it - over 600 litres or 400 bottles! How often do we try to do everything in our own strength rather than throwing ourselves onto God's mercy and drawing on his st...
