St Johns Mexborough

At this Ascensiontide, we reflect upon the glory of Jesus Christ — risen from the dead, ascended into heaven, and enthroned at the right hand of the Father.

Fr Morrison explores Christ’s heavenly reign, his continual intercession for his people, and the confidence Christians have because the crucified and risen Lord now reigns over all things and will come again in glory.

The early Christians did not change the world through power, wealth, or influence, but through the power of the Holy Spirit. In this sermon, Fr Morrison reflects on the bold witness of the Apostles, the courage of the martyrs, and the truth of the Gospel they proclaimed. What does faithful Christian witness look like in an age hostile to truth and holiness?

Fr Edward Morrison preaches on John 14:1–12, in which Jesus declares, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” In a world that treats religion as subjective and interchangeable, Fr Morrison encourages us to recognise the exclusive claims of Christ and the certainty of God’s self-revelation in him.

Fr Edward Morrison preaches on Luke 24:13-35, exploring how the risen Jesus was made known to his disciples on the road to Emmaus. As their eyes were opened in the breaking of the bread, we see how Christ continues to abide with his people today in the Sacrament of his Body and Blood.
