An Open Table where Love knows no borders
An Open Table where Love knows no borders
Sermons on Ezekiel
Jesus leads the way towards a new experience of life that is so utterly alive that death is powerless to threaten, limit or constrain it.
Jesus calls us to love and care for the world’s victims, and to refuse to participate in making more of them (even from among the victimisers).
The Spirit of God is acting to bring life out of death and hope and vitality out of despair.
Jesus, the coming king, will rise above power mongering and tenderly lead the people into paradise
The Kingdom of God grows like a weed – seemingly insignificant and unwanted – but it ends up with a place of refuge for everyone.
Every relationship in the universe – between God and creation, between humans, and between humans and creation – is driven by three dynamics: justice, mercy and faith.
When hopes have been extinguished and all is despair, God comes back.
The day of Pentecost is the day when the Spirit comes to interrupt and call into question the inevitability of our despair.
No matter how dead something is, if the Spirit of God enters, there will be new life.
