Sometimes we feel that waiting times are wasted times. Yesterday at Cornerstone Archdeacon Karen Gorham reminded us that the first followers of Jesus used the time between Jesus leaving them at the Ascension and the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost to meet together, to reflect and remember and the pray. They didn’t plan because...
There were two very famous texts in the readings for Sunday, 3 May 2015: ‘God is love’ (1 John 4 : 8) and ‘I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine-grower’ (John 15 : 1). God’s love is shown by the gift of God’s own life flowing through Jesus the true vine into us, but only if we choose to be and to stay connected, and to accept all that goes with that decision. Often we think that love is a feeling, an overpowering emotion, but God’s love is shown by actions. Love means deciding to do what is good for another person before what seems best for myself. This is not so rare as it seems. Lots of people have chosen to give to the appeal for Nepal rather than spend their cash another way, and that is love, connecting people to each other and to God, who is always closer than we think.

This will always be the latest news. It was news on that first Easter Sunday, when no-one could quite believe it. Jesus’ followers and those who wished him gone were all quite sure that he was dead. You don’t hang on a cross in that way and survive it. But the truth that began to dawn on them all was that God had done what was promised and had broken through death and Christ is alive.
Through the weeks of Lent the invitation is there to take a journey with God and with others as we follow the steps that took Jesus to the cross and through the cross to resurrection life. The journey is from where we are now to where God is leading us. We don’t always know where the...

It’s getting closer. The theory is beginning to become only too real. The hopes and fears of a nation, indeed the whole of creation, may rest on the response of one young woman. How is she supposed to respond? How does she come to say ‘yes’? Have you been in a situation where you have been...
We’re still with John the Baptist, but this time we have the foretelling in Isaiah of the mission Jesus set out for himself. It was one of meeting with those who may have thought they had no hope seeking to heal what had been broken. This may be hard, but what are the heartbreaks you have known...
There are so many accounts in the Bible about God’s people finding themselves in wildernesses of varying kinds. Often they spend years wandering, not sure where God is leading them or how they will know when they have arrived. What they often seem to find is the wonder of God, not in their arriving, but in...
Advent is a time of waiting. Through the history of God’s people there have always been times of waiting and wondering just where God is to be found. We look at our world today, just as God’s people have always done, and can sometimes just see the chaos. Sometimes it is through that chaos that creativity can break...
Over the past few weeks you have been invited to reflect on what God might be calling us to. This is about us as individuals and also us as a church community. Where is our journey taking us? Jesus began his final journey in a blaze of excitement. Where did it take him? Think about the journeys you have made...
