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.
God’s people are called to be a holy people, devoted to the Lord’s plan. There is a danger that we can be easily distracted from this course by frivolous things.
When we stand still it is then that we are most in danger of falling down. Using this passage from Joshua, Ben tells us to keep pressing forward like the Israelites, but under the banner of Christ.
On Maundy Thursday Ben tells us that by washing each other’s feet our love for each other is defined. We become more Christ-like: it sanctifies others and we are sanctified ourselves.
Ben starts a new sermon series for Epiphany where we will be looking at Epiphany themes in the Letter to the Hebrews. In this talk he looks at the gift of gold.
At this year’s Festival of Carols & Readings by Candlelight Ben tells us, where there is darkness in your life, let in the light of Christ, and where there is darkness in the world, let us be agents of light.
What does peace mean to you? In his first sermon of the festive series, Ben tells us that peace is not just the absence of noise. True peace is found when you put your trust in the baby in the manger.
