On Mothering Sunday, Patrick looks at the stories of two mothers in the bible. Moses' mother in the old testament and Mary, Jesus' mother, in the new.

Patrick (the taller) expounds the familiar story of Jesus' meeting with the Samaritan woman at the well, drawing out some important lessons, and in particular the power of testimony.

What can we learn from Jesus' 40 days in the desert and his temptation by the devil?

In both the old and new tstaments there are instances when God's presence is particularly seen and felt. But these experiences are transient. However, in Matthew, God tells us to always "listen to Jesus". These extraordinary experiences of God transform us for ordinary everyday life.

Do not worry because God, who created you, cares for you.

"Come, follow me" is Jesus' call to everyone, including Saul (Paul) on the road to Damascus. Paul came to see the cross of Christ as the power of God for salvation, and was commanded to 'Go!' and tell the world.

Patrick asks "How did we all get to be here this morning?". In what ways has God called us?

Why did Jesus need to be baptised?

"Pay attention; be astonished; tell about it."

David, our ordinand on placement, asks "Are you a Christmas worrier?"
