Spirited WordHoly TrinitySend us a textIt is the Sunday we ponder and celebrate the uniqueness of God and the Christian confession of faith about him. It is Holy Trinity Sunday.It is a difficult thing to try and ponder how God can be altogether one and yet also altogether three. Even the best illustrations of the three-leaf clover or water ice and steam experiment or a tricycle and etc don’t do this mystery any justice.Better to just marvel at God and let him be who he has revealed he is.We do...2025-06-1722 min
Spirited WordPentecost DaySend us a textEveryone has got problems. We all try to deal with them with some mind of grace. Sunday was Pentecost Day. It is the day we celebrate how the risen Jesus delivered on his promise to fill us with new life, new hope and give us a sure future in his grace. But we tend to think that all our problems are outside of us and the only way to fix them is to draw what we can from inside of us.Not true. Our hope and help and he...2025-06-1126 min
Spirited WordWhere’s Jesus?Send us a textWe have made it to the end of another Easter Season. Does that mean we have come to the end of Jesus? It can seem that Jesus has indeed departed to some other ‘spirit’ place as if he has no place in this place – until the end when ‘we will all go to heaven’ and somehow be with him wherever he is.If that is the case, what are we meant to be and do now? Are we just waiting around doing nothing in particular, just waiting for our eventual end? And what i...2025-06-0321 min
Spirited WordPoolside MercySend us a textThere is a question that seems odd to our ears in the gospel account of Jesus healing a man living with a long-term debilitating disability. This man has been living poolside for 38 years. He has been seeking healing in the intermittent bubbling up of the water at the pool of Bethezda – the ‘house of mercy’. But it does not sound like the place is built on mercy! It sounds more like we are used to – an ‘every person for themselves’, competitive, ‘dog eat dog’ kind of life because no matter how hard he tries, the guy c...2025-05-2718 min
Spirited WordRisen LifeSend us a textIt is easy to believe that Christianity is only for the super-spiritual people who can pray a mountain to move or raise the dead and power on through anything in life untouched by the ordinary things of the day.Big things can happen in this new community where resurrection over even death is entirely a ‘thing’. But, even with that startling claim, the small things still are what counts. Come and hear about a woman named Tabitha.Her life shows that this resurrection life of Jesus is a ver...2025-05-1422 min

Not a bad way to start the day!This is his third appearance since that first Easter morn. It is not down in the city but up here at home. We are back by the sea in Galilee. He is in their place.

Spirited WordEaster: A New Communion + A Suffering LoveSend us a textWelcome to ‘Gather Easter’ – the best ‘Round’ in town! This is because Easter deals not only with winning and losing a game but also with our living and dying in this life. It is BIG. Work, family, unexpected trouble, surprising joy, occasional worry and despair and fleeting moments of happiness meet us all the time. But there is this longing too. We’re looking for a new communion; a love that can handle our suffering. This longing for connection and contribution and affirmation and joy that frees us from the fears. 2025-04-2354 min
Spirited WordPalm Sunday: Face Like FlintSend us a textThe world has taken many turns for the worst these last months. It is easy to worry and fret about what it all means. As Christians we ask why it is that the wicked seem to do so well and the everyday folks have to keep copping it!Maybe it would be a good idea to switch off the news, the social media news feeds and whatever else contains all those voices of chaos and simply enter this journey with Jesus of his last week where he gets to the bottom...2025-04-1522 min
Spirited WordEarthy Faith: Everything I have is yours!Send us a textAs we continue living this earthy faith in Christ we hear this masterful parable and are confronted with how we can easily be lost, even without ever leaving home. The younger sons lostness is focussed and easy to see. He does all the things that a ‘lost’ person would do. He insults his father, weakens his family, binges on substances and sex, blows previous resources others have worked to earn and destroys himself and his high standing by chasing after the wind – short-term gain, plenty of pain, and for no gain!His da...2025-04-0128 min

We are pondering living this earthy Christian life of faith in Christ which he has carved out for us by his cross. In the tragedy and injustice of life, people around Jesus ask him why life is like this and what he means in what we suffer.These questions could be from any one of us when tragedy strikes, or injustice is mete...2025-03-2527 min
Spirited WordEarthy FaithSend us a textAs we live this earthy faith carved out by the cross of Jesus, we hear heart-wrenching words of sadness and regret expressed by the Messiah over his holy city this morning. With the image of a mother-hen wanting to protect her young, Jesus declares this city to be a ‘city of ruins’ that will one day soon end up that very thing, and yet, that there will be another visit to this same city that will bring something more.This city has a long story of consistent rebellious heart and rejecting beha...2025-03-1824 min

The glory cloud descends and the two greats; Moses and Elijah appear, representing the Law of God and God’s prophets sharing a holy huddle with the Son of God. It is mesmerising and then it is gone. But not before that audible voice confirms Jesus as the Saviour is heard and the journey to the cross down there on the plains hots up.Paul reflects on this by remembering th...2025-03-0424 min

We all know this from our own experience, let alone God’s Word on our human condition. We still have a heart that is naturally opposed to him and cannot find him – a heart in need of resurrection every day!

It makes us uncomfortable. It can shatter our confidence. It can really hurt. We usually run away from it. On the other hand, if pushed enough, we can go on the attack. Fight r flight are unhelpful responses we need to get beyond to live out the gospel we proclaim. The bottom line is that in Jesus, the Servant King, there is another way to approach conflict. There is a helpful and fruitful way of coping with difficulties in relationships.2021-08-0521 minSpirited WordForgiven and CalledSend us a textIt is easy to be very confused about who you are and to know what makes you who you are as well as what you are all about in life.
