- Sermon: The Problem Of King Jesus by Big Circumstance on Nov 21, 2009
John 18:33-37 ‘What is truth? said jesting Pilate; and would not stay for an answer.’ Many of us think of Francis Bacon’s famous words when we read this account of Jesus before Pilate. But we have a problem: the Lectionary omits verse 38 where...
- Sermon: Christ-Centred Priorities by Big Circumstance on Nov 14, 2009
Mark 13:1-8 Do you ever wonder what on earth Jesus is playing at? Because I do when I read this passage. Just before this story, Jesus and his disciples have been inside the Jerusalem Temple. They have witnessed the flamboyant giving of the rich, and...

Genesis 2:18-25 I wonder whether you know the story of the devout Methodist who refused to get married on principle? He said he didn’t believe in games of chance. The Lectionary today presents us with readings about marriage and divorce. When these...

Mark 9:30-37 “How many times do I have to tell you?” It’s a familiar cry of exasperation from parents to their children. No matter how many times you have asked them to do something – or, more likely, not to do something – it just doesn’t...
