Greatly to be Praised I will praise You with my whole heart; … I will worship toward your holy temple, and praise your name; for your loving kindness and your truth; …. Psalm 138: 1–2a In Psalm 138, we find the song of ‘a man after God’s own heart’, who had travelled a long journey down...

Good evening, friends. St John’s Gospel, chapter 14 provides wonderful words of comfort to sustain us through this great season of Pentecost. ‘If you love me, you will obey my commands; and I will ask the Father, and he will give you another to be your advocate, who will be with you for ever – The Spirit...

By Revd Paul J. Le Sueur Panic Stations All was peaceful on Lake Galilee some years ago when I led a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. As we walked along its shores we remembered how often it featured in the Gospels. It was on the shores of Lake Galilee where Jesus recruited Andrew and Peter, and...
Eternal God, we praise and adore you for all that you are:
for being bigger than even our biggest questions; for caring more than we can fully comprehend.
We praise and adore you for your strength and your silence; for your power and your peace.
We praise and adore you for being in control and yet not controlling; for being in the storms and beyond them.
We praise and adore you, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, we praise you for ever.
Amen

A reading from Psalm 9 7 The Lord reigns for ever; he has established his throne for judgment. 8 He rules the world in righteousness and judges the peoples with equity. 9 The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. 10 Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never...
Rest in the Storm ‘These things I have spoken to you, so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage I have overcome the world.’ John 16: 33 NASB Charles Spurgeon told a story of how, during a sudden storm, a woman on a ship became very terrified....
Good morning, good people. Today the church remembers St Richard, Bishop of Chichester eight hundred years ago, but still remembered for his loving pastoral care of his people in troubled times. Blessed are those who fear the Lord and have great delight in his commandments. Their descendants shall be mighty in the land; a generation of...
Hello, everyone. The theme of rest and sleep runs through our music this evening. The Italian late baroque composer Domenico Scarlatti wrote nearly six hundred sonatas for keyboard. Many of them are boisterous and virtuosic, but tonight I have chosen the reflective Sonata in G minor to establish a mood of quiet contemplation. Sonata in G...

By Revd George Mwaura Ezekiel 17: 22–24 and Mark 4: 26–34 God of wonders, we thank you because you have said to us that, when we pray with faith the size of a mustard seed, we can move mountains. Lord, we do have faith; please help our doubts not to override our faith in Jesus’ name. Amen...
