My passion is to preach Christ from all of Scripture. Should you wish to listen, I invite your reflection (and comments if you wish) as to whether the words you hear bear His character. Are they, like him, “full of grace and truth”? (John 1:14)
Note: If my sermons look to have been few and far between lately, it’s because they are. Since July 2012 I’ve been in a kind of unofficial sabbatical, with no formal ministry engagement. During that time I’ve joined my family in worshipping in our local Anglican parish. I’ve made myself available as an occasional preacher there, which has happened twice so far.

Easter Sunday
Because of his resurrection, even though believers in Jesus will die physically, spiritually they will never die. Therefore you can turn to Jesus right now and he will open to you the door to real life that lasts forever.
Good Friday
Despite appearances of defeat and death, the Cross of Jesus testifies to his royal rule. As King, he has the power to deliver on his offer to restore to God’s paradise, anyone who turns to him.
You may not get answers to all of life’s riddles and mysteries. But you can centre your life now on the Creator who is the source of your life and its meaning.
There are really just two ways to live in relation to material wealth: Materialism and Contentment. Whether poor or rich (and remember, they’re very relative terms), you can be content by receiving all you have as a gift but seeking joy only from God the great giver.
