I’m sorry that I haven’t got to this post until Monday, I really, really try to get this sort of thing up on Sunday . . . just in case.

This is Trinity Sunday and the sermons are my attempt, which may not be all that good of an attempt, to walk the balancing act between a theological lecture on the origin and meaning of the Trinity and what the Trinity has to do with us today. It is, by no means, a dry and dusty doctrine with no connection to us, rather it is the unmistakable evidence of the ultimate relationality of God; God in three Persons.

I hope, as I always do, that you will find this, or these messages, meaningful and helpful. Please feel free to add a comment or two if you have anything to say. I really value dialogue. Really.

Blessings,

PS I would just like to remind you that if you don’t want to listen to this (or any recent) sermon from this page and your browser refuses to let you download from here, use this link which has this and the past few sermons all ready for downloading.

Small but mighty . . . unfortunately

Ah, communication. It is one of those things that we sometimes, erroneously, think we can opt out of. We sometimes think that what we communicate is of minimal importance . . . or of ultimate importance. We also sometimes think that the Bible has nothing to say about communication or talking or any of that…

Christmas!
ByBarry 2013/12/292014/01/05
Christmas is one of the more evocative words in the English language. I don’t want to suggest that everyone’s immediate response to the word is warm and fuzzy but I’m pretty sure there aren’t too many people who don’t feel something when they hear it. For me, the word is a very pleasant one with…

Not that kind of influencer
ByBarry 2020/02/09
Of all the strange things the internet has thrown up one of the strangest to me is the “influencer.” As far as I understand it, this is a person who gets paid to take pictures and videos of themselves using a product and then posting those pictures and videos on social media. There are lots…
