Bishop Martyn Jarrett discusses keeping the faith. We have to resolve to follow God, and choose which side we are on; that by God's grace we will do better.

Fr Naylor speaks about how the greatest gift we can have is faith in Christ. How we are called to us our faith and that it is strong and it endures.

Fr Naylor discusses how there is a moment of judgement for each and every one of us which we should be prepared for and asks us to think about whether we are like the rich man whee we just pass by and ignore the cry of the poor and oppressed.

The Bishop of Beverley preached this sermon for our Patronal Festival, reflecting on the fact that each of us have a calling and that as Saints we are called to reveal the love of Jesus Christ. That it is only in the company of Jesus that we discover the fullness of life, like Matthew, we can set at the feet of Jesus and listen to his wisdom.

Fr Naylor talks about how we should put our energy into our future; which is not based on the material things of this world but of that in Heaven.

Fr Naylor informs us that when Jesus died on the cross, it became a ladder to heaven, he chose not to make the cross our sentence and condemn us to death but instead that moment would be used to show God's mercy.

Fr Price discusses the cost of discipleship and how we have a counsellor in the Holy Spirt whom we should seek wisdom and guidance from.
