Pentecost 2 sermon

07/06/2026 by Rev Janet Spence

Just imagine a world where all have what they need; where all are treated with respect and justice; where all live in peace; where all are helped to live life fully rather than be trapped in patterns and by structures that deaden them … This is what Jesus called Matthew to, and it’s what he calls us to. It could change the world and bring the Kingdom of God amongst us … now isn’t that a call that is worth responding to?

Lent 3 Sermon: Photine the Illuminated One

10/03/2026 by Rev Janet Spence

Jesus is thirsty for love to be awakened in the hearts of all people. This is true. But it is also true that Jesus is the source of the living water that can quench the thirst for love that lies deep within each one of us. So come, drink from the well of living water that is our faith, and know in your hearts that you are loved.

A Sermon for Lent 1

22/02/2026 by Rev Janet Spence

This season of Lent is a gift, a gift to be celebrated, a gift of a time set apart from ordinary time. May we live it fully, and honestly, and by walking through Lent in prayer with God, may we begin to discover the reality of life lived in the freedom, truthfulness, and generosity of God’s love.
