A sermon based on John 20. 19-31.
There are lots of sayings about proof and believing aren’t there. ‘Seeing is believing’, ‘the proof of the pudding is in the eating’. And quite often faith and proof are seen as opposite ends of a spectrum. You have the things you can prove over here, and right over here you have the things you have faith about. It comes across in another saying that’s widely used, ‘a leap of faith’. That sounds much more uncertain than those earlier sayings. Our Gospel reading today is all about faith and doubt. Belief and questioning.

A sermon for Easter Sunday 2022 based on Luke 24. 1-12.
We’re in the wake of Good Friday, the brutality, the horror of what has occurred. Some of the disciples are in hiding, deep in mourning, overcome with grief, terrified that a similar fate awaits them. Some others are on the road back home to Emmaus, disheartened and disillusioned. It seems like the darkness has won, that it has snuffed out the light. They do not understand yet what has happened. |
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
