Sermon by Andy Gosler on Holistic Mission - Sunday 20th June 2010

admin — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 08:56:04 +0000

I want to start with a big question. Actually it is ‘the’ big question, and it drives much human endeavour. Why are we here? You can tell it’s a big question because it has many different kinds of answers. At a personal level you might say, ‘I’m here because I got up this morning and got on my bike, so here I am’, or because ‘I just had to hear today’s sermon’ (dream on), or ‘because the church is dear to me, I love it because it refreshes and sustains my soul’, or simply ‘because I was born’. But you might answer ‘why are we here?’ by saying why you were born

Living Faith Sermon 5 - SHAPING CONFIDENT COLLABORATIVE LEADERSHIP

admin — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 10:30:35 +0000

So far we have covered:
1. Sustaining the sacred centre
2. Making disciples
3. Making a difference in society
4. Creating vibrant Christian communities
and we now come to the last: Shaping confident, collaborative leadership.
And, just as the first of the five gives the spiritual grounding for all the others, so the last addresses the practicalities of how any of these are actually to get off the ground at all.
There needs to be leadership.
But what kind of leadership??
This, I think is the key question for us to face in our day.

Living Faith Sermon 4 - Creating Vibrant Christian Communities

admin — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 13:09:27 +0000

Today’s Gospel is one of those spiky readings that is both difficult to understand fully and at the same time so stark in its message that its difficult the sensitive souls amongst us to cope with. First we hear about Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices – and then the 18 who died when crushed by the Tower of Siloam falling on them. Both the stories are unique to Luke’s Gospel and we don’t really know much about what Jesus was referring to.

Living Faith Sermon Series 3 - Making a Difference in Society

admin — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 09:48:46 +0000

This, then, is the third in the series of sermons based on the bishop’s 5 markers for church health and growth which goes under the general title: “Living Faith”.
The observant among you will notice that this is very similar to the thoughts behind the fifth bullet point of our vision statement:
- seeing ourselves as responsible global citizens: standing in solidarity with all people as our sisters and brothers throughout the world by working for just economic and social structures and for a sustainable environment.

Living Faith Sermon Series 2 - Making Disciples

admin — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 17:18:14 +0000

Making Disciples by Alastair Wood

Unfortunately the title does little to encourage us to contemplate the vibrant subject Living Faith moves us into this week. The very phrase itself drips with imagery, flavours and tastes of uncompromising evangelism.

Rather than being ‘Fishers of men’ encouraging people to examine the lifestyle and person of Jesus by presenting him in attractive incomplete and tantalising glimpses, we are reminded more of the huge trawler or factory ship, catching indiscriminate loads and subjecting them to Processing.
