John 11.1-16

There is, I think, a rather fine but gruesome painting by Caravaggio entitled; The Incredulity of Thomas.  It shows a resurrected Christ guiding Thomas’ hand.  Thomas is touching the spear wound in Christ’s side.

Luke 17.11-19

As Jesus made his last journey, from Galilee to Jerusalem, he went through towns and villages preaching and teaching, enjoying meals and sharing conversations. This morning on the first Sunday in Lent we read of him passing by a village and encountering its outcasts.

I read the other day of a Baptist minister getting slightly confused at a baptism.  It was a story told by another minister so it must be true!

Luke 5.27-32

The missionary Jim Elliot once said: He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep to gain what he can never lose.

Matthew 20.20-28

T.S.Eliot once said: Most of the trouble in the world is caused by people wanting to be important.

1 Samuel 3

What did your parents want you to become? 

Ephesians 4.1-16

Over these last few weeks I suspect many of us have received, and for that matter sent, round robin letters, a year’s worth of news condensed to a side of A4.
