29th June 2025 (Year C – Pentecost 3) “Fruit of The Spirit – Pulling the Weeds”
To grow our own food we need a garden of good soil, free of weeds and rubbish.
To grow the fruits of The Spirit we need to constantly evaluate our words and acts.
We need to work with God to evaluate what is sinful (bad) and what is good.
We need to be sure we are not tricked by flowers that are actually weeds!
28th September 2025 (Year C – Pentecost 16) “Take Hold of the Life that Really is Life?” “Church Life as the Centre of Community Action and Solidarity”
David Barrow calls us in the Uniting Church to be the “salt of the Earth” and embody public, practical discipleship that challenges market-driven culture and builds communities rooted in justice, generosity, and hope.
Through community organising—churches, unions, and civic groups—he urges faithful, to strategic action that reflects Christ’s radical love and counters “empire” or market values, citing that the church must be “the conscience of the state”, engaging politically and prophetically in the world to protect creation and uphold justice for all.
1st December 2024 (Year C – Advent 1) “Living out a Commitment to Creating The Kingdom of God”
Jesus came into the world as the ‘upside down’ king – his kingdom is not of this world.
To commit to following Jesus is not to go along the pathway of power, authority or prestige.
Rather to relate with humility, through compassion, holding fast to a righteous way of living. The turmoil of the heavens was a sign that a new creation was in the making.
In Christ’s birth God proclaimed that the reality of peace had dawned on earth.
The proclamation of peace is costly…even Jesus and his parents became political refugees in Egypt.
In the struggle for liberation all must be connected and so we need each other.
19th October 2025 (Year C – Pentecost 19) “The Widow’s Might”
Jesus is at it again, offering a mysterious and perplexing teaching about ‘Prayer’.
There are many ways at looking at this parable. The Widow teaches us about God and ourselves and it teaches the way of Jesus.
Sometimes we may be the widow, sometimes the judge!.
2nd February 2025 (Year C – Epiphany 4) “God of the Underdog”
The ‘real world’ is not kind to underdogs!
Mary was a young Jewish woman in a Roman empire and pregnant out of wedlock – an underdog!
In her lonely situation she still sings praise for the God who extends mercy.
A God who has good news to the poor and oppressed.
12th October 2025 (Year C – Pentecost 18) “The Leper Who Gives Thanks”
“The real joy of living is knowing that life is a gift.” Rev Don Affleck.
Of the ten Lepers that Jesus healed only one, a Samaritan (a foreigner), came back to express his thanks.
God offers us all the wholeness and fullness of life, are we fully appreciative of what we have been given and remember to always be thankful?
