2025/09/16

On Mount Nebo, in front of the church of Saint Moses, looking over the valley below is a monument of the bronze serpent which Moses erected in the Neghev desert.Numbers 21:4–9 NIV They traveled from Mount Hor along the route to the Red Sea, to go around Edom. But the people grew impatient on the way; they spoke against God and against Moses, and said, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? There is no bread! There is no water! And we detest this miserable food!”Then the

Suppose one of you wants to build a Tower?

2025/09/16

Dear Reader,I was struck by Jesus’ talk about building a Tower in this Gospel reading, because we have such a prominent Tower separate from our main church!Our Vision is of a Tower of living stones:To be a Tower of living stones; chosen, mended and built by Jesus our Cornerstone - to make followers for Him, to be a sanctuary of prayer and a community of love.It could be said that we can’t properly embrace this vision and put it into action unless we work out the cost - both personally and to us as a

Bring me to the valley of vision

TowerPod: St Mary"s Marston Moreteyne and Lidlington ·

2025/09/02

Dear Reader, I was excited to preach this sermon because Jesus was making one thing stand for another in his storytelling. Mysterious depths… and I thought he showed such courage facing the hostile opposition of the Pharisees and Lawyers. He broke right through them with compassion to heal the sick man. If you’d like to pray the Valley of Vision prayer for yourself, here it is:Lord, high and holy, meek and lowly,Bring me to the valley of vision,where I live in the depths but see Thee in the

Dear Reader,As I write this, I’m listening to the Biddenham Handbell Ringers in church. I’m startled how familiar tunes are transformed into the most beautiful ethereal sounds by the very act of being rung on handbells. At the risk of over-playing the analogy ;-) maybe this is something like how our ordinary, clumsy and let’s be honest - mostly failing efforts to follow God and His ways can be transformed by the grace of Jesus working through them? In our Daily Bread meditation at Morning Prayer we

The man who lived by faith...

TowerPod: St Mary"s Marston Moreteyne and Lidlington ·

2025/08/15

Hebrews 11:1-3, Hebrews 11:8-16 New International Version - UK11 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. 2 This is what the ancients were commended for.3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.8 By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. 9 By faith he made

Ending with a prayer… dear reader. Andrew+Luke (12.13-21) Someone in the crowd said to him, ‘Teacher, tell my brother to divide the family inheritance with me.’But he said to him, ‘Friend, who set me to be a judge or arbitrator over you?’ And he said to them, ‘Take care! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.’Then he told them a parable: ‘The land of a rich man produced abundantly. And he thought to himself, “What should I do,

Luke 11:1-13 One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”2 He said to them, “When you pray, say:“‘Father,hallowed be your name,your kingdom come.3 Give us each day our daily bread.4 Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.And lead us not into temptation.]’”5 Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose you have a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say, ‘Friend,

Luke 10:38–42 NIV As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!” “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but

John 16:12–15 NIV“I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you. All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.” This is a public

Acts 2:1–21 NIVWhen the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven.
