The Shepherds hear the news

If Jesus had come today it would have been all over Twitter. Instead they told the shepherds. Same effect ... Why do we not have the same heart for mission?

Radio Debut

Last week I had my radio debut (unless you count a competition entry twenty-five years ago). Premier Christian Radio asked me to do a short interview on what is happening in the church here in Monnow Road. (Thanks Brian for the recommendation). In typical style I caught a cold two days before, and so had my head buried in a bowl of Vicks half an hour before going live. You can tell, but at least I wasn't sneezing my way through it.

Anyway, I have published the interview on http://www.mrbc.co.uk/sermons/premier_interview.mp3 for those who missed it last week.

Joseph, a calm man

Joseph sets the example as a man of calm reasoning. He also stands out as one who listens to God, and acts immediately on what he has heard. Does this describe you?

Mary vs Gabriel

Why was Mary troubled by the appearance of the angel? Fear you can understand! She was troubled because this mean't change, and no-one likes change.
