Sermon for the Feast of Pentecost 2026

I wonder if you have every heard the story about a young boy who was wandering around in the porch of a big city centre church one Sunday morning? He had stopped and was examining a large bronze plaque that was fixed to the wall. The plaque bore an image of the Union and several regimental flags and in impressive letters proclaimed 'The Fallen'....

Sermon for the seventh Sunday of Easter – 17.05.26

Sermon John 17.1-11 The season of Easter is almost over and next Sunday we arrive at Pentecost – a day which some regard as the birthday of the church, the day when the Holy Spirit rains down on the disciples and those gathered with them – but more about that next week. Many of you will know that love reading a good book, and perhaps fewer of you might know that one of the authors I most admire is Terry Pratchett....

Sermon for the Sixth Sunday of Easter – 10.05.26

John 14.15-21 I wonder what your reaction would be if I stood in the pulpit and declared to you that in the Old Testament, Hezekiah chapter 6 verse 1 says, “God helps those who help themselves.” Would I get a loud ‘amen’? No? Why not?! Some of you might be rather reluctant to affirm this statement. And why not?...

Sermon for the Fifth Sunday of Easter – 03.05.26

John 14.1-14 Just over a month ago, many of us watched the enthronement of Dame Sarah Mullally as the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury. Set against the backdrop of the inspiring stained glass and soaring arches of Canterbury Cathedral – a familiar and glorious building - the historic occasion served to inspire hope and optimism for the future of the worldwide Anglican church....

Sermon for the 4th Sunday of Easter 2026 – Good Shepherd Sunday

Sermon John 10.1-10 Today, we reach the fourth Sunday of Easter - often referred to as Good Shepherd Sunday – and if you have read the readings that have been given to us, it’s not hard to see why! Each year, our gospel gives us verses from John Chapter 10 – different verses, but each have a common theme involving sheep and shepherd....

Sermon for the 3rd Sunday of Easter – 19.04.26

Luke 24.13-35 I wonder if, like me, you have ever found yourself coming to a realisation about a situation or problem you cannot understand, but the solution to which, suddenly becomes so obvious? You know, times like when you are shouting at the vacuum cleaner because, despite the fact you’ve taken it apart, cleaned out the filter and emptied the bag, it just won’t work – and then, after half an hour of exasperation, you realise you haven’t turned on the power at the plug socket?...

Sermon for the Second Sunday of Easter 2026

John 20.19-31 As faithful Christians, one of our greatest blessings is the freedom to admit that we are sometimes full of doubt. Now that might sound like rather a strange thing for somebody to say from the pulpit, because some people identify doubt with having a lack of faith. But actually, if you think about it, doubt and faith are two sides of the same coin....

Sermon for Easter Day 2026

ALLELUIA! Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! ALLELUIA! Easter is one of those occasions on which most of us come to church already knowing the story. Because of our familiarity with the Easter narrative, some of us might be tempted to let our minds wander during the reading of the scriptures. There is certainly no shortage of things in our church competing for our attention on Easter morning: everybody dressed in their Sunday best; the smell of lilies wafting from the arrangement; the Easter banners and perhaps even the polished brass of the candlesticks and cross can distract us....

Sermon at The Easter Vigil 2026

As Christians all throughout the world gather on this night, there is a shift in time itself. When we gather for this holy night, we pray: This is the night, when you brought our ancestors, the children of Israel, out of bo***ge in Egypt, and led them through the Red Sea on dry land. This is the night, when all who believe in Christ are delivered from the gloom of sin, and are restored to grace and holiness of life....
