    The Significance Of Questions

    Contributed by Michael Hopkins on Jun 18, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,198 views

    Lookign at questions in the context of Job 38, and Jesus stilling the storm in Mark 4

    One of the most unhelpful ideas about Christianity, indeed about faith in general, is that doubt is the opposite of faith. It is not. Certainty is the opposite of faith. Doubt is an intrinsic part of faith, for by definition faith is about making a commitment and a decision about matters that ...read more

    Sowing Seeds Of God's Kingdom

    Mustard seed and the kingdom with practical examples

    I’ll begin by saying that our second reading is a very complicated passage indeed. Indeed, it’s so complicated and obscure that I’ve decided to say nothing about this morning, and concentrate on our gospel reading, because it would be too long and involved to try and make sense of it now. So, ...read more

    A sermon on the doctrine of the Trinity

    The story is told of a man feeling suicidal, who climbed from his office window onto the ledge outside. Naturally his colleagues were concerned, and one climbed out and sat next to him on the window ledge. After a few words the conversation went something like this: “I get a lot of strength from ...read more

    A sermon on the Presentation of Christ in the Temple (also called Candlemas)

    I wonder if you’re familiar with fresh lychees? The fresh fruit is much more pleasant than the tinned variety. They are small fruit about the size of a walnut. On the outside is rough and robust skin, which might lead you think it wasn’t worth opening, but when one peels it, inside is a soft, ...read more

    Remembrance And Holy Communion

     | 6,363 views

    A sermon linking themes of Remembrance Sunday and Holy Communion - an uncommon combination in English Free churches

    This evening is something rather unusual in our church. Very rarely has our calendar so fallen that we celebrate Holy Communion on Remembrance Sunday. At first sight it seems very odd to mix something so religious, Holy Communion, with something with so many secular overtones, Remembrance Sunday. ...read more

    Four Weddings And A Funeral

     | 10,100 views

    1 Corinthians 13’s message about Christian community

    In the film Four weddings and a funeral, during the first wedding, the reader begins the well-worn reading of 1 Corinthians 13, saying, "if I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal". As the reader pauses for breath, someone ...read more

    Thinking more about the phrase, "the armour of light"

    There’s a proverb which says, "It’s better to light a candle than curse the darkness". I want to reflect, this evening, upon a phrase of Paul’s in that reading from Romans: the armour of light. As well as our usual, longer, silence after the sermon, there will some shorter silences as part of the ...read more

    A sermon for Advent Sunday, also alluding to St. Andrew’s tide and World AIDS day.

    Advent Sunday is a time that can mean so many different things to so many different people. As well as the start of Advent, it’s also the Sunday nearest to 1st December, marked as World AIDS Day, and the Sunday nearest to St. Andrew’s day, a traditional time for thinking about the mission of the ...read more

    Church In Laodicea

    Contributed by Michael Hopkins on Nov 29, 2005
    based on 10 ratings
     | 3,508 views

    What was said to the Church in Laodicea - the seventh of the seven churches - and what it might mean for us today.

    Laodicea was a very, very wealthy city, founded by Antiochus II and named after his wife Laodice. The city was strategically located, where three major roads converged, so it was highly commercial. It was well known for its banking industry, its manufacture of black wool, and a medical school ...read more

    Church In Philadelphia

    based on 7 ratings
     | 4,687 views

    The sixth of the seven churches - what might it have to say to us today?

    And so we come to the sixth of the seven letters to seven churches, the letter to the church in Philadelphia, which is of course in Asia, not the USA. What do we know about the city? Philadelphia was a strong fortress city, strategically located on the road from Rome to the east. It was a city of ...read more

    Remembrance Sunday Sermon

     | 23,538 views

    A sermon for Remembrance Sunday - the UK’s version of Veteran’s Day, always on the second Sunday in November.

    It’s very daunting for me to stand in a pulpit on this day of all days. The closest I’ve come to living through a war is seeing it on the television, and the closest I’ve come to active service was the school cadet force. Yet, today is still desperately important. This year we remember ...read more

    If anyone is in Christ there is a new creation - a sermon on this text for Holy Baptism and Holy Communion

    I remember once listening to Radio 4, when Christine Hamilton was being interviewed, talking about the relative poverty of he life after her husband Neil Hamilton famously lost his seat in the 1997 General Election. It was the first time I heard the phrase ‘BOGOF’. She was, of course, talking ...read more

     | 3,524 views

    The message to the church in Sardis and it’s relevance to us today

    Over the last few weeks in the United Reformed Church, we’ve been looking at the stories of some churches, and seeing what they might have to say to us today. These stories are in the book of Revelation, and they take the form of letters that were written to these churches. Like all of the book ...read more

    Questions, Questions

    Contributed by Michael Hopkins on Oct 25, 2005
    based on 7 ratings
     | 4,536 views

    How do we respond to the questions of life? How did Jesus respond?

    It seems that questions fill our daily lives. Everywhere we go, we are confronted by questions. At home it might be very simple things like, “What’s for tea?” or, “When’s Grandma coming?”, “How can I afford it?”, “Who does she think she is?”, “What was that referee doing?”, “Why can’t I have ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,233 views

    the next sermon in the series on the seven churches of Asia

    And so we come to the church at Thyatira. This is the longest of the seven letters, which, ironically, was written to the smallest and least important city. Unlike the other towns, we don’t know very much about Thyatira, so it’s not so easy to understand and interpret the contents of the letter. ...read more
