Journey With God: Matthew 28:1-10 Hope (Easter Day Talk)
http://simonbickersteth.blogspot.com/2008/03/matthew-281-10-hope-easter-day-talk.html
Life and faith in the modern world. Sunday, March 23, 2008. Matthew 28:1-10 Hope (Easter Day Talk). It was described as a great miracle, when hope had all but gone, the wonderful, the amazing happened. I am of course describing the discovery last week of nine year old Shannon Matthews, who went missing from her home in Dewsbery in West Yorkshire in February and was discovered safe and well three weeks later. We could ask ourselves the question, why did the angel role away the stone? Jesus was already gon...

Life and faith in the modern world. Wednesday, November 21, 2007. Freedom in Christ Session 8: Handling emotions well. This morning we are continuing our Freedom in Christ study, looking at the important issue of how to handle our emotions well. We can’t directly control how we feel. How do our emotions work? So how do we handle our emotions well? Our feelings reveal what we really believe. Your emotions are to your soul what your ability to feel pain is to your body. The trouble is that, if what you bel...

Life and faith in the modern world. Monday, April 14, 2008. Luke 24:13-35 Emmaus Road. Whenever you go on a journey, what makes the journey special is the people who accompany you on it. For example, one of the highlights of my first trip to Taize was the coach journey from Birmingham to France. I can’t remember a time where I laughed so much, and had as much fun as on that trip. 8221; or “My life has no direction at the moment,” or “I don’t’ know which way to turn! 8221;As the disciples tell this strang...

Journey With God: Freedom in Christ Session 11: Relating to Others
http://simonbickersteth.blogspot.com/2008/01/freedom-in-christ-session-11-relating.html
Life and faith in the modern world. Monday, January 07, 2008. Freedom in Christ Session 11: Relating to Others. In Matthew 22:37-40 Jesus said, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love you neighbour as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”. The reality is that left to ourselves we cannot, but with God we can start to love others as we are meant.

Life and faith in the modern world. Monday, December 24, 2007. Luke 2:4-7 And his shelter was a stable. Sermon taken from article by Nick Page in December's edition of 'Christianity' Magazine. It’s a very familiar scene, but there is very strong likelihood that it never happened like that at all. Here is what Luke says,. The image of the manger and inn has firmly established itself in our imaginations, in nativity plays, and on Christmas cards, we have this picture of innkeepers and cattle gently lowing.

Journey With God: Baptism of Jesus: Matthew 3:13-end
http://simonbickersteth.blogspot.com/2008/01/baptism-of-jesus-matthew-313-end.html
Life and faith in the modern world. Thursday, January 17, 2008. Baptism of Jesus: Matthew 3:13-end. The baptism of Jesus is a key turning point in Jesus’ life, and is recorded in all four Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. In contrast, the birth of Jesus, which we’ve just been celebrating, is only recorded in two of the Gospels, Matthew and Luke. 1) John’s baptism was given to those who were already Jews. 2) John’s baptism took place in the Jordan river, as opposed to the Mikveh. There are three thin...
