Sermons

Jesus gives us a peace that is not secured at the expense of victims, and he sends a Defence Counsel to lead the defence of the world’s victims.

Jesus is the model for rightly honouring the victims by exposing and resisting the systems that sacrificed them.

Extravagant devotion to the crucified Christ is the foundation of our compassion and care for other victims of the world’s callousness.

God’s grace is lavished on all who will receive it, but some of those who have every right to it refuse to receive it unless they are singled out.

The Catechumenate, and the annual Lenten journey, are about writing the Word of God into our hearts so that it can protect us from evil and bear fruits of righteousness.

The encounter with the resurrected crucified Jesus enables us to see the absolute love, mercy and non-vengefulness of God.

Recognising Jesus as Lord requires such a reversal of conventional values that it cannot but dangerously transform us.

With Jesus as our pattern, we find a new identity in our uncompromising allegiance to God’s ways.

To name Christ as King is to identify ourselves as dissenters to the claims of any other authority.

It’s our place to be within, and part of, creation and to love it as God loves it, and to learn to be ready to stand with others in their place of need.

The impossible love and grace of God invite us to participate in the life of God despite our circumstances, but we often get stuck in trying to find meaning in the circumstances.

God offers to make us his children, a position that may not appeal to our autonomous ambitions, but which offers honour and security.
