    Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on May 28, 2018
     | 7,784 views

    We all have our favourite verses from the Bible many we know by heart and they give us comfort in times of need. Many are from the Psalms or the Gospels and we focus on John 3:16 - God so loved the world..

    The Love of God John 3:16 We all have our favourite verses from the Bible, it could be a verse from the psalms: ‘The Lord is my shepherd : therefore can I lack nothing.’ It could be a verse that Jesus said from the gospels: ‘Blessed are the pure in heart – for they will see God’ Or as we have ...read more

  • But

    Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on May 28, 2018
     | 3,483 views

    We use the word 'But' quite frequently and it can change the meaning of something said. In the Bible the word BUT and the context is profound, we are not object of God's wrath as sometimes seen in the Old Testament but objects of His love.

    BUT… John 3:16-17 In my working life I’ve been on many training courses either related to management, finance, dealing with the media and so on.. One course still comes to mind when I was criticised for using the word’ ‘BUT’ I was using this simple and very significant little word to clarify ...read more

     | 4,537 views

    When the Holy Spirit was poured out on the disciples of Jesus on that first Whitsunday in a very real sense the Church was born. When a child is born we celebrate annually the date of that birth by giving presents but on the Church's birthday we receive.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY Today is a very special day in the life of the Church it’s not just because today is called Whitsunday or the feast of Pentecost,,,,, it is however related to what happened on that first Whitsunday The sending of the Holy Spirit on the disciples of Jesus.

     | 4,186 views

    In John's gospel he refers to the Holy Spirit as the Comforter who will not leave us desolate. But when we look at different versions of the Bible different words are used, e.g. Advocate and Counsellor each having a different but significant meaning.

    The Holy Spirit - our spiritual aid John 14: 15-17 Have you ever lived life dangerously by taking a step into the unknown? A step of faith, you were in a situation when you were not sure what to do, you had to make decision and had no idea about the consequences of your actions. It was the kind ...read more

    We might know a lot of people and some we might call our friends - what are the characteristics of a friend, what do we look for in a friend? Jesus calls us His friends - are we worthy of this wonderful relationship with our saviour?

    WHAT IS TRUE FRIENDSHIP? JOHN 15:9-17. Jesus tells us that we are His friends. What are the basic elements of friendship? There is acceptance. A friendship is composed of two people who accept each other as they are. I may not understand everything I know about you; I may not even like some of ...read more

    Jesus said that He was the Good Shepherd, the kind of Shepherd that looks after and protects the sheep - Jesus not only preached this but lived up to it to the full, even to dying so as to protect the sheep.

    The Good Shepherd John 10: 11-18 Today’s reading is part of a dialogue which culminates in one of the ‘I AM’ saying of Jesus. St John’s gospel is renowned for its I AM sayings as it gives a unique picture of Jesus and the characteristics of the Son of God. Those two words in themselves are very ...read more

  • The Wounds Of Jesus

    Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Apr 10, 2018
     | 3,517 views

    The wounds of Jesus were very visible after the Resurrection of His body but not always. Why didn't the disciples always recognise the risen Jesus? Was He different in some way?

    The Wounds of Jesus – Luke 24:40 There is a statue of the Risen Christ called the Majestus in Llandaff Cathedral a sculpture by Epstein, in South Wales UK and it predominates the nave of the cathedral but can by familiarity be unnoticed. But if you take notice and look at the detail – Christ is ...read more

  • Too Good To Be True?

    Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Apr 2, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,661 views

    After Thomas had witnessed the risen Jesus he doubted no more. It might of been too good to be true but he had witnessed it first hand and that always helps.

    TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE? JOHN 20:19-31. We live in a sceptical world where human nature finds it difficult to believe in anything good. In fact we find it easy to believe in something bad and prefer to believe in a white lie rather than believe in the truth. We say, "its too good to be true." But ...read more

  • The Resurrection Brings New Peace

    Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Apr 2, 2018
     | 5,202 views

    When we look on our world we see all sorts of violence, terror and war. Innocent men, women and children caught up in situations way beyond their control so they flee for their lives. The Resurrection of Jesus brings peace - an inner peace.

    The Resurrection Brings New Peace John 20:19-20:31 What is the message of Easter for you this year? If you think about it the Easter message is very positive especially for those who live constantly in fear: fear of failure, fear of death, fear of so many things,….. The first words Jesus ...read more

    Easter Day and April 1st doesn't coincide very often but it has a valuable lesson for us in that God's wisdom in raising Jesus from the dead corrects forever the foolishness of mankind.

    EASTER Wisdom - April 1st!? 'Who says God doesn't have a sense of humour!' Twitter erupts with hilarious posts about the fact that Easter Day falls on the same day as April Fool's day - while Ash Wednesday is on Valentine's Day. But we all like a joke, a laugh - life would be very boring if we ...read more

  • Why Did Jesus Die?

    Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Mar 24, 2018
     | 4,973 views

    Jesus died a very brutal death and Christian know that by his death we have life. But at the time what were the charges that the Jews had to warrant death and why did they pass Jesus over to the Romans to do their dirty work?

    Why did Jesus Die? The ministry of Jesus lasted just over 3 years and we have the gospels that relate and record that ministry. A wealth of material to guide our Christian living, to offer us hope and to give us a strong faith. And yet out of all the gospels that last week of Jesus predominates, ...read more

The city is full of pilgrims from all over the Mediterranean world to attend this great national festival when they celebrated their release from slavery in the land of Egypt. Now they were effectively ...read more

    Sometimes its difficult to really realise the pain and the suffering that Jesus went through on the cross for US! There is art in the form of paintings and sculpture that depicts the crucifixion in some theological aspect rather than reality.

    CROSS OF PAIN, CR0SS OF LIFE During these 2 weeks leading up to Easter called passion tide we focus our thoughts and minds to Jesus’s life and in particular His Sufferings.

    Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Mar 20, 2018

     | 5,341 views

    Why did Jesus have to suffer after all He was the Messiah and Peter just couldn't understand why Jesus spoke about His forthcoming death as He did.

    WHY A SUFFERING MESSIAH? MARK 8:27-35. A lady went to buy a rosary without a cross attached. "It's for my friend," she explained. She doesn't like the cross, she thinks it's cruel." There are many today who would like to take the cross out of Christianity. In today's Gospel, Peter felt the ...read more

    The tension Jesus must felt as He approached His passion must of been tremendous but He knew it was His Fathers will. A will of Love.

    From Tension to Certainty - short John 12:27-34 IT was Jesus’ claim that when He was lifted up. He would draw everyone to Him. There are some who take this to refer to the Ascension and who think that it means, that when Jesus was exalted in His risen power. He would draw everyone to Him. But ...read more
