Life is full but I keep on preaching
There has been a LOT going on lately, trip to Vancouver with family, Synod, meetings - plus everything has had a feeling of being 'up in the air' as we consider and reconsider vision - for the Parish, for our Diocese, and in our everyday life.
But the everyday rituals and events of Church life continue, including our Midweek Eucharists. So here is a sermon what I wrote for today. Taster here, full text at New Kid Deep Stuff (click [more] for link)
I’m not sure we should have favourite Bible
verses, but today’s Gospel reading contains one of mine! [more]

Martyrs, 1885 —
Commemoration
Matthew 10.16–22
16 ‘See, I am sending
you out like sheep into the midst of wolves; so be wise as serpents and
innocent as doves. 17Beware of them, for they will hand you
over to councils and flog you in their synagogues; 18and you
will be dragged before governors and kings because of me, as a testimony to
them and the Gentiles. 19When they hand you over, do not worry
about how you are to speak or what you are to say; for what you are to say will
be given to you at that time; 20for it is not you who speak,
but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. 21Brother
will betray brother to death, and a father his child, and children will rise
against parents and have them put to death; 22and you will be
hated by all because of my name. But the one who endures to the end will be
saved.
