Sermon for 1 December 2024 - 1st in Advent Year C
Advent is a time to prepare ourselves for Christ’s coming. As we build up to celebrate Christ’s first coming at Bethlehem, we use the season of Advent to prepare ourselves for the day of his Second Coming and the Judgement it will bring. As we anticipate Advent will once again flow into the joyous celebration of Christmas, so we hope our earthly life will lead to the joyous celebration of heaven. Advent, alongside the season of Lent, is a time for taking stock and making sure we are still on track.
It is timely to make sure that celebrating and feasting on the good things of life has not lulled our spirits to sleep. Are we so focused on the things of this world that we lose sight of the life to come? We, of all people, should never fall victim to the blandishments of this world, for we should already have a foretaste of the life to come through the Holy Spirit who is given to us.

This Sunday is often known as 'Christ the King' and in many traditions, a special liturgical colour is worn before we enter the purple season of Advent. In today’s gospel reading, we see Pilate, the first earthly authority figure who had to deal with the question of Christ's authority, struggling to understand what kind of authority Jesus possessed, if any. Is Jesus a king, or not? If so, what ...

Christmas must be approaching. Advent must be around the corner, for this week we step into the strange world of the apocalyptic tradition. We will hit it full on during Advent, but we have a foretaste in our Bible passages today. What general pointers and helpful hints can we take with us as we enter this strange world?

The story of the Widow's Mite troubled me for years. The breakthrough came when I read it in the wider context of Mark's account of Holy Week. The Widow's Mite episode then becomes the culmination of Jesus' confrontation with the temple authorities and a pointer of what is about to follow. The Widow gives all that she has to God: her last coins. There is no reserve. She has made the ultimate ac...

Our gospel reading presents us with a second tale of conversion today. Ruth was a convert to an open-hearted, welcoming form of Jewish faith. The lawyer is effectively converted from the ranks of those trying to ensnare Jesus in legal red tape to a similar form of faith that had attracted Ruth when he realises that Jesus is unblocking the channel for God’s love to envelop the world. The lesson ...

We must be honest in our approach to Jesus, like Bartimaeus, and ask what we truly desire, trusting in Jesus’ sovereign power to bestow good gifts according to his providential purposes. To ask and to be declined is an act of faith; failure to ask at all is a fatal error. It was very difficult for Jesus to help the priests of Jericho that day he passed through because they did not perceive they...

Preoccupation with status and who’s got the latest promotion afflicts many professions across the commercial and industrial world. Who’s on their way up the pecking order is a topic of many a water-cooler conversation and the Church is no exception. Indeed, because the Church, like the military or the Law, or police, offer opportunities to wear special fancy dress that proclaims your status, th...

The episode of the Rich Young Ruler who comes to Jesus seeking eternal life is one of the most depressing events in our Lord's ministry. What is the link between faith and worldly riches? And what does the Book of Job have to tell us about worldly wealth and good fortune?

Evil poses a real theological problem for those who believe there is only one God and that God is good and loving. This week we contrast two rival views about the existence of evil from the Wisdom school of theology by contrasting The Book of Job with the Book of Proverbs. We will then consider which side of the fence Jesus has taken - is he more aligned with Proverbs or with Job?

Can we distinguish between "selfish ambition" and "holy ambition"? Today, we consider the role of ambition in society and the church, urging leaders to model themselves on the example of Jesus.

How many more people down the ages have been too quick to decide what they think about Jesus? Peter is far from the only one who has rushed to judgement. There is no greater need for the steady, long-term pursuit of truth, such as personified in Lady Wisdom, than when it comes to searching out the meaning of life. Yet so often we meet people who have given more thought to which car they buy tha...

We start with that most remarkable story from Mark’s Gospel when Jesus appears to be calling a gentile woman, a dog. The passage follows on from a discussion about clean and unclean food which we heard last Sunday. Now the passage moves on to clean and unclean people, in the Jewish sense, of being acceptable or unacceptable people in the sight of God. When it comes to the clean/unclean food arg...

This week, we consider the the ways in which scripture can act as a mirror. It is about the invitation of the scriptures to go deeper, to discern the face of God; to discover the true state of our own souls; and by the grace of the Holy Spirit at work within us, learn to be mirrors ourselves of God's glory.

A few years ago, I was with Catholic colleagues as they celebrated Mass before the tomb of St Peter in the crypt of St. Peter’s in Rome. I then enjoyed my second visit to view the burial remains of St Peter more closely. I could not imagine how even the most stony-hearted Protestant could fail to be moved by such a location. I know from my own Methodist tradition the powerful feeling of standin...

Yahweh knows most people will end up in hell and few in heaven, yet creates them anyway. Their destination is known and therefore set. Free will is an illusion. If true, the how is this god not the ultimate evil?
