• New Year's Sermon Excerpt

  "2008 has not been a good year—the credit crunch led to the collapse of our economy, already vulnerable because of the huge bubble in property prices, bringing with it sharp increases in tax and steep rises in unemployment. The prospects are bleak for many people and the Church has remained all but silent through the whole process—as if God was somehow concerned only with personal things and not a God who looked for righteousness in public as well as private life. Sometimes, it would cause onlookers to wonder what sort of God Christians believed in. Is he a little God, concerned only with little things, or is he a God looking for people who will build his Kingdom?"

  "What might we say? As we place 2009 into God's hands, how do we respond to the huge challenges of the year ahead?"For the Fainthearted: New Year Covenant sermon (December 28, 2008)
