My Easter Sunday sermon reflecting on the Resurrection and hope in the face of the current pandemic.
As we are unable to gather in church our services are being recorded and uploaded to YouTube so below is the video of the whole service but it should start at my sermon.
I wonder if you’ve ever been reading a book or watching a TV series and the plot is getting rather concerning, the protagonist is in dire straits, everything seems to be going wrong. And I wonder if, halfway through, when things seem really dire, you’ve flicked ahead to the last page, or googled the plot to see if things get any better, to see whether it all ends in tragedy or if somehow it all works out in the end. And then armed with this sneak peak you can decide if you want to carry on reading or watching.
At first glance the story of Jesus seems like a tragedy. A travelling preacher and teacher who seemed way ahead of his time. Who went about having compassion on the poor and the sick, the downtrodden and oppressed.

AuthorAn Anglican Curate in my 20's I was raised in an Anglican Church, went to a Youth Club run by an Evangelical Church, attended a Baptist Church while at Uni and was a member of a New Monastic Community after graduating. As such my faith has been influenced by these experiences and traditions into what I hope is a more rounded viewpoint. Archives
