Fruit and Fire
The gospel is about fruit and fire. The fruit comes from us. The fire comes from God.
Advent Waiting
Advent is about waiting, waiting for the good things which are to come. But not all waiting is the same.
A Moveable Peace
The peace that Jesus offers us is a moveable peace which we can give and take back again without being broken.
Not Fearing Fire
If we wish to assist Jesus in building the kingdom of God, we cannot be afraid of fire.
Faith and Honeybees
Our faith might be the size of a mustard seed but we are not an isolated plant. We are a Church, a part of a community of believers.
Wolves and Money
Jesus cautions us that the excess gifts that we keep for ourselves are not an advantage, but a liability.
When God’s Commands Do Not Fit
When we find ourselves in circumstances where it is impossible to do what God asks of us, we must make the best decision we can.
The Challenge of Easter
The disbelief by the apostles should be an encouragement to us because believing in Jesus’ resurrection is not easy.
The Battle with the Devil
At the heart of discipleship is the commitment to join in Jesus’ mission, to take up arms against evil.
The Locked Door
God will never lock the door to shut us out. But the circumstances of our life can shut us out, and we can lose the desire to enter.
The Missing Magi
The longer that we live, the more likely it is that something we value will go missing.
