Meanwhile the church wardens, elders or circuit Sanhedrin can prepare the stake and kindling in the carpark. Please find below a bundle of … More Trinity #HeresyAlert

As The Wind Blows- Look, See, Pray

April 11, 2024

Dandelions are prolific seeders. Brilliant yellow flowers have fed the early bees, now the urge to reproduce has taken over. Fluff-balls of white parachutes wait for the wind to blow, then gleefully depart for a place of their own (usually in gardener’s prize flower plots, it seems!). Therefore dandelions have a bad reputation. Once landed, … More As The Wind Blows- Look, See, Pray

What has the Trinity ever done for us?

May 24, 2021

John 3:1-17, Romans 8:12-17 To slightly mis-quote Monty Python, ‘What has the Trinity ever done for us?’ Well, maybe not aqueducts, roads or public baths, but in today’s passages we find probably the biggest and best thing that anyone ever did for someone else. God adopted us into his family, and by doing that gave … More What has the Trinity ever done for us?
