Jesus calls us to welcome and honour each other at his table regardless of the disagreements we may have over how to apply biblical teachings.

Sermons on Faith
My journey has brought me to a place where I have begun to know the rest that Jesus offers.
Jesus gives us an abundance of all that we need, and when we learn to trust that, we are set free from rivalry and possessiveness and enabled to share generously.
Jesus calls us to believe that he is the resurrection and the life, not just in theory, but in relation to everything that is dead or dying within us.
Our deepest thirst will never be satisfied by cautious morality and religious compliance, but it will be abundantly quenched when we drink deeply of the living water of joyous intimacy that Jesus pours out freely.
Journey is a powerful metaphor for the spiritual life. A spiritual journey changes us, we learn more about what life is all about and who we really are.
God’s visions of the future are often dismissed as unrealistic because our limited vision causes us to expect only more of the same.
A healthy self-esteem is not one that thinks itself better than others, but one that, in solidarity with others, accepts the merciful gift of life and love that Jesus offers us.
There are numerous competing claims about what a faithful Christian life looks like, and sometimes the truth about following Jesus may be the least palatable of them all.
Sometimes God has to kill off our hopes and destroy our faith structures in order to create space for new life and truth to arise among us.
Doubts and questions, far from being a threat to faith in the risen Christ, are its normal starting point and constant companion.
Whether we think of the devil as a personal being or as a metaphor, our call to put our trust in Jesus to strengthen our resistance to the temptation of expedient short-cuts is the same.
