Saint Mary's Talks and Podcasts

When we pray "give us today our daily bread" Jesus is actually inviting us to ask for more of him. What are the things we need to put down in order to make space fore God to be God?

In the second instalment of our series on the Lord’s Prayer, we look at what it means to have an identity and purpose aligned with the Kingdom of Heaven here on earth.

Jon introduces our new talk series, Teach Us To Pray, where we'll be using The Lord's Prayer to become kingdom people, bringing our inner and outer worlds into sync with God’s wills and ways. In this first talk, Jon shows us that God is both close and intimate (“Father”) and exalted beyond comprehension (“in heaven”). Prayer begins with a relationship rather than a request, a relationship that is both close and beyond.

Sam kicked off the new year helping us look at the Love God and how God is Love, He reveals His love and His love changes us.

In the next part of our journey through Advent, Chris takes us through the story of Simeon, who had been waiting in eager anticipation for the consolation of his people in the Messiah. Through his example, we see how we can move from a platform mentality where our desires are shaped around us, to a pillars mentality, where our lives become about more than just ourselves - even through the hardest of times, as we await the renewal of all things.

Katy reflects on the kind of Joy on offer at Christmas; not a fleeting feeling, but a gift of hope that lasts forever.

In the final part of our Seven Letters series, Jon preaches from Revelation 3:14-22 on the letter to Laodicea. We learn that with Jesus, complete transformation is possible and when he knocks, we just have to answer the door and let him in.

At our baptism celebration, Emily shared what it means to step into the new life that is on offer to each of us when we choose to follow Jesus.

Jon shares a short reflection on how living with a kingdom perspective leads to a life of faith over fear.

Sam preaches on the letters to Thyatira and Sardis, from Revelation 2:18-3:6. Through this passage we see that Jesus desires a church both active in good deeds and wholly devoted to Him in undivided worship and love.
