I was preaching to day. First time in a little while as I was too busy with family sickness last time I was supposed to preach. The passage was Luke 4:1-13 and much of what I preached was based on something I wrote on here a little while ago. Hope you enjoy.

I have been listening to a lot of music recently. It helps me focus and it helps me get ready for the day. Here are a few of the songs I have been enjoying lately.

This one is from MercyMe (again!) and is called Best News Ever. It has some wonderful lyrics and takes aim at those who tell you you can earn your way into heaven.




This next one is from Crowder. He has a magnificent beard and a wonderful voice. This song has been speaking to me a lot.




This one is from Casting Crowns and is a beautiful song of praise to Jesus

It has been an incredibly stressful term. I have been so busy and things have been so difficult. It was a relief to be able to start the Christmas Holidays yesterday. Here is my sermon from today which is on the Magnificat. It was tough to write this week but I think it was the sermon God wanted me to preach.

This is my latest sermon. I enjoyed writing it. Normally, sermons take a few days to come to me but this one came in a day and a half! It has been sitting on my desk for almost two weeks. Hope you enjoy it.

To day was my turn to preach at church. I was down to preach last week but someone wanted to swap. I was happy to do so and had a look at the lectionary for today. Isaiah 53! What a passage, what a privilege to preach on it.

I hope I did it justice

Been listening to a lot of Christian songs lately. My wife and I have had them on when the kids are up and they are really getting  into them. Their favourite band are MercyMe. They love their songs Greater, Flawless and Happy Dance.

While listening to some, I came across this updated version of their song I Can Only Imagine. I like it. The original is magnificent but I think this brings it up to date and adds a good deal to it. Hope you enjoy

Today I was asked to preach again at church. I gave a sermon that I have given elsewhere in the past. It is on John 4 and the Woman at the Well. I made a few small changes (and my lovely wife made some more!) which I hope make it flow a little better. I waffled a bit towards the end but hope that you enjoy the sermon.
