Bishop Graham draws on Paul's Letter to the Ephesians: when we are root our lives deeply in Christ's love we can achieve more than we could ever have asked or imagined.
Paul reminds the the gentiles that Jesus, through his death and resurrection, has broken the walls of enmity and division between God and between his people. We are all, because of this, one family of God, a new creation, a new humanity.
The prodigal son's father rejoices that he is alive and has been restored to him. We too celebrate that Jesus died but was restored to us in his resurrection and we now live in the freedom of his forgiveness.
Cara begins a new sermon series where we will be exploring the Book of Ruth. In Chapter One we see Ruth trusting in God even when her life has been turned upside down.
We lived in an advanced world yet still we face overwhelming situations. Cara examines the healing power of the Holy Spirit and how it feels when we allow the Holy Spirit to work through us.
In her Mothering Sunday Sermon, Cara explores one of Paul’s most famous letters: 1 Corinthians 13, and his exploration of the centrality, character and permanence of love.
On Remembrance Sunday, Cara reflects on the opposition and threats that Nehemiah faced while building the wall. They were so severe that the builders were instructed to carry building tools in one hand and weapons in the other. Nehemiah knew the pain, loss and fear of war.
Paul’s motivation comes from his longing to know Christ and share in his resurrection and glory. His focus is set on the full realisation of the kingdom of God.
The resurrection of Jesus changes everything. In his first letter to the Corinthians, the Apostle Paul recounts his own experiences of the resurrection of Jesus.
