No matter what the storm is praying to Jesus, our Master, is always worth doing. Not all storms are learning opportunities.
As Jesus came down from the mountain he would have been tired, hot and bothered. What he sees causes him to proclaim blessing and and to see those cursed by their own inability to participate in the Kingdom of God....
At the conclusion of the sermon series on stewardship and generosity, Ned outlines the needs in the life of Saint Peter's Church. How might you respond?
The third part of our sermons series on stewardship and generosity looks at what we should give. The short answer is 'Everything' but more specifically, Simon points to a lesson from the film Robots: "See a need. Fill a need."...
St Paul began his stewardship campaign reminding the Corinthian church why they should give to a shared mission in Jerusalem. He then moves to tell them how they should give; with eagerness and in relationship. Only then is he able...
Sarah Clayton starts our series of stewardship as we ask ourselves "what do we want to invest our time, money and energy in?" 2 Corinthians 8 begins with Paul telling the church what should motivate us to give generously. Sarah...
Ned sets out the 'plan' for the next few years and asks whether we are willing to invest our time, money and energy into these things. He also has a big announcement.
Ned has not got any of the material to make a Christingle with everyone else but he believes in the magic of the season. Out of nothing, God creates. Out of lack, God provides. Out of disaster, God brings hope....
The nativity occurred in history to real people in real places and was part of their real lives. This truth means that it has a real impact and significance to our own lives. So let's get rid of the myths...
When all hope is dashed, all power gone, all security lost, God says, "But..." The little will be raised to great things. God is at work in our world.
Diane loves love stories and Ruth and Boaz is a good one! How might we receive the gift of God with us in the midst of challenge and hopelessness?
At the start of the Advent sermon series Ned takes a look at the first mention of Bethlehem in the Bible. Bethlehem's story begins as it will continue, as one of life being brought out of sorrow and struggle. We...
Ned continues on from last week talking about apocalyptic writing and impulses that emerge during cultural upheaval and collapse. How do we respond in an age where the people are imagining the 'end times' and when the fantasies are all...
On Remembrance Sunday Ned explores the apocalyptic message of Jesus and asks, "what should we make of this?" Why do we always have war?
Jesus called everyday, ordinary people to follow him. They were not prepared. They were called and then they were shaped. Will we follow the same calling?
What does it take for us to draw close to God? The Sadducees, the Pharisees and the Scribes have different approaches but how do we follow Jesus?

Our consumer culture demands that we remain dissatisfied in order that it continues to function. What do we truly need? What will make us truly happy?
We live in a world where we can't stop blaming others, manipulating and controlling others. How does the resurrection of Jesus change that? And should we really watch the films, Jesus Christ Superstar and Risen?!

A sermon from the archive (13th May 2018) on understanding Pharisees and our own need for healing.
Simon returns for another sermon about bread? Why does Jesus keep going on about bread? Bread is bread, isn't it? Looking back, there's a complex history of bread in the Bible and our lives.
What were the people looking for from Jesus? What are we looking for? And are we ready to share what we receive from God with others?
Do we only want the miracles of the old creation, when we're involved and in control? Are we open to the miracles of the new creation where God does things far beyond our imaginations and comfort zones?
