Sermons from a lay preacher. Newer posts →. What’s in a Name? December 18, 2016. Isaiah 7, 10-16; Matthew 1, 18-25). When we chose names for our children, we tried to choose names that were timeless, and that wouldn’t identify them as being born in a certain era. We also tried to find names that wouldn’t be easy to shorten, though we failed in that – schoolchildren can manufacture a nickname no matter what name you choose! Isaiah (whose own name means ‘Salvation of God’) also gave his two sons prophetic ...

Sermons from a lay preacher. Christmas in the Real World. January 1, 2017. Hebrews 2, 10-18; Matthew 2,13-23. On Christmas Eve at Midnight we were with John the Divine, contemplating the mystery of the Incarnation, the Word made flesh, the light that shines in the darkness. On Christmas morning we went with Luke to the manger and worshipped with the rustic shepherds. So, like many families the world over, Mary and Joseph are forced to take their baby away from their home, and become refugees in a foreign...

Who is God? | ramblingrectorbensham

She walks, she talks, she administers the sacraments. Asymp; 2 Comments. I’ve been thinking about names. Margaret means pearl it comes from the Greek. It is the word that Jesus uses in the story about the pearl of great price, and I love that connection. And it’s the same for you different people know you by different names. The names carry different associations for you and those who know you. And your name has meaning, sometimes several meanings. It may depend, to some extent, on how you experienced yo...

Not just Free Food | ramblingrectorbensham

https://ramblingrectorbensham.wordpress.com/2015/08/01/not-just-free-food

She walks, she talks, she administers the sacraments. Not just Free Food. Asymp; 2 Comments. What was the best meal you ever ate? A great celebration feast in a posh restaurant? Tasting something new that blew your mind? Eating something simple that was beautifully cooked? A simple meal when you had been working hard and were very hungry? Food is essential to our lives: it nurtures us and keeps us alive, it gives us pleasure, it is central to our celebrations, it is a key way in which we show hospitality.

A Life in 5 Meals | ramblingrectorbensham

https://ramblingrectorbensham.wordpress.com/2015/07/25/a-life-in-5-meals

She walks, she talks, she administers the sacraments. A Life in 5 Meals. Asymp; 4 Comments. The way John tells the story you know John, the one who wrote the Gospel anyway, the way he talks about the life of Jesus, it was a life in five meals, five extraordinary meals, each memorable and significant in different ways. It was an act of love, a sacrifice of thanksgiving. We could only watch while she showed such love and tenderness, thanking him, the Master, for her brother’s life. Larr; Previous post.

Holy Cross Day | Emma's Blog

https://emmagoldby.wordpress.com/2014/09/13/holy-cross-day

Journey of a Curate. For Sunday, 14 September 2014. Comments welcome – not too sure if this hangs together or needs more editing. Thanks! In the church calendar, today we celebrate the Holy Cross. Celebration seems to me to be an odd word to use as why would anyone want to celebrate the device used to torture, and Crucifix our Lord? It seems a vile and repulsive thing to do. The cross forms the corner stone of our faith for upon it the Love of God was poured out in His act of saving Grace towards us.

Journey of a Curate. Sermon for the 28th Sept. Evening Prayer. 2 kings 6.8-17 and Matt 18.1-6, 10. Listen a long here! Just be warned I’d been on pain killers all day due to the pain from my sprained ankle. So I sound a little dopey and strangely posh (re: the pronunciation of Gals!
