This week we have the story of Thomas’s encounter with Jesus. Sometimes called doubting Thomas, as if doubt were a bad thing!

It is Easter Day 2020 and once more we are invited to look at one of the strangest gospel stories of all; Jesus resurrection. Today’s sermon, in the midst of our strange lives at the moment, invites us to sit with the strangeness of the story and let it reveal its self to us.

It is Palm Sunday and we have the extraordinary story of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem. This brave move offers a direct challenge to the world view of Rome and a glimpse of the world that Jesus believes God is bringing into existence. 

How should we understand the story of Lazarus? And why does Jesus say those who believe will not die?

The story of the man born blind whom Jesus heals with a mud pack (John chapter 9) is a story about how we can see and not see all at the same time. 

In the story of the woman at the well, what did Jesus mean when he said, God is spirit?

What better reading first Sunday of Lent than one of the origin stories from the book of Genesis. And a look at the question, what was the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil?

How can the gospel story we call the Transfiguration have meaning for us today?

The last part of the Sermon on the Mount where Jesus taels about things that don't seem to have much relevance to us 2000 years later but perhaps we can see behind some of cultural specifics to things that are true for all times

Part two of the Beatitudes and so thoughts on being salt of the earth and light of the world
