    Father Dave’s sermon on the story of King Herod and the execution of John the Baptist.

    No doubt all of you are deeply concerned, as I am, about what could prove to be the beginnings of World War III breaking out this week in the Middle East.

    Father Dave’s sermon on the Jesus’ healing of a man with leprosy and His compassion.

    Mark chapter 1: Jesus has the power to heal a man of his leprosy, but He doesn’t have the power to keep him quiet! That’s the story of this reading today, isn’t it?

    Sermons by Father Dave ...

    I’m really sorry Kon isn’t here. Kon is my best mate, and was my trainer and corner-man for all my fights, and it’s not that I need him here ‘in my corner’ when I’m preaching. It’s because when I first met him, he said to me, “Dave, I’ve read the Bible, and what about that guy who hires some ...read more

    Our Gospel reading this week confronts us with a series of parables - the sort that my dad (if he was still alive) might well have referred to as MacDonaldtown Parables.

    Sermons by Father Dave ...

    “Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw that the city was full of idols.” (Acts 17:16) Ange and I have been to Athens, as I suspect many of you guys have also.

    Father Dave’s sermon on the Road to Emmaus and an encouragement for those who are searching for God, and are still searching.

    I’ve had some pretty intense pastoral encounters this past week. I think that’s the right term - ‘pastoral encounters’? I’m referring to those dialogues I have occasionally with people that are deep and spiritual, and I’ve had quite a number of them in this last week. And most of these intense ...read more

    From James & Dave’s Bible Page: A detailed, question and answer study of a vitally imporatant topic to the Christian life today.

    As we begin our study, I encourage you to ask yourself this question: How intimate with Jesus do you want to be? Consider for a moment the wonderful possibility that we can communicate with our Heavenly Father in a way that is totally unlimited by our finite minds. A way that we can receive from ...read more

    "In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, which was not made known to men in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets. This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together ...read more

    Father Dave’s sermon on the miracle of the feeding of the 5000, and what Jesus means when he says he is ’the bread of life.’

    I don’t know what your week has been like, but I’ve had a week that has been full of typical priest-type things: visiting the sick and organising weddings, baptisms and funerals. Indeed, in the next few weeks we’ve got two baptism scheduled, there’s one wedding next Saturday, and tomorrow I have ...read more

    "You can get a large audience together for a strip-tease act-that is, to watch a girl undress on the stage. Now suppose you came to a country where you could fill a theatre by simply bringing a covered plate on to the stage and then slowly lifting the cover so as to let everyone see, just before ...read more

    Father Dave on Jesus’ Sermon on the plain, and the blessings of the poor.

    I’ve had a tough week: On Monday I was robbed again. My wallet has been stolen by the same guy two weeks running!

    Do you not know that in a race the runners all compete, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win it. (25) Athletes exercise self-control in all things; they do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable one. (26) So I do not run aimlessly, nor do I box as ...read more

    based on 9 ratings
     | 9,014 views

    Father Dave’s sermon on the relationship between evangelism, social justice and the Gospel. Why was the Gosepl proclaimed as ’Good news the poor’ and what was Jesus’ vision of Social Justice?

    There has been an unfortunate division in the church, that goes back over many years, between those who emphasise the preaching of the Gospel as the primary work of the church, and those who focus on issues of justice, love, and peace. It is regularly assumed that those who focus on the preaching ...read more
