Sanctified and Consecrated

Posted in Bible, Church, Faith, Jesus, Reflection, Theology, tagged , , , , , on 19 August, 2008 | 4 Comments »

So, the other day I was preaching on John 17; Jesus’ prayer that we ‘may all be one’. I was interested in the focus on holiness which, in a sense, precedes it yet must be integral to the unity. I noticed, though, that the CiW 1984 book uses, for this passage the NEB (at least, [...]

Today’s sermon at Henfynyw
 
Isaiah 55:1-5; Romans 9:1-5
and
Matthew 14:22-33

Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. 23After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, 24but the [...]

I’ve never seen a more surreal piece of television than this, nor have I been more impressed with the quick-thinking of a Bishop!

Today’s sermon

Posted in Church, Faith, Jesus, Reflection, Sermon, Theology, tagged , , on 27 July, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

A blog could be a relatively good place to keep a journal of sermons, in my opinion – it can keep a simple record and create an opportunity for people to comment on what they’ve heard. So, I’ll give it a go.
Today (Trinity 10) I preached at the Welsh Communion service (5 mins max – they don’t normally [...]

Explaining the change

So, I no longer consider myself an ornamentalsheep, but rather a runningsheep. It might seem to have been a bit of an unneccessary change, confusing even, but I had my reasons, as I’m sure you could have guessed.

Being a Deacon

Here’s the most recent article I’ve written for Pobl Dewi, our Diocesan newspaper. I was asked to reflect on the ordination, but I’ve focused more on all that’s happened since. For all you avid Pobl Dewi readers out there, you’re getting a sneak-peak!

Stepping Back

An article I’ve written for our Diocesan newspaper.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and for ever. Heb 13:8
As I write this, there are 115 days left until the End-of-Year Service and my last day of ordination training at St Michael’s College, Llandaff. It’s actually only 94 days if you take out the three week [...]

The result of a conversation with a published author after dinner this evening.

But [...]
