We sometimes wonder what is God doing here? Certainly the woman healed in the synagogue, the last time that Jesus taught there before his journey to the Cross, was surprised by God's action for her. And what is God working in this place? [Organ/Choir & Cantata - Pentecost 11]

From the angels announcing the Saviour to the astonished shepherds, through to Jesus' last days, the message is repeated: Fear not! Don't be afraid! Yet this is often hard to hear, hard to understand, hard to believe in our anxious days in this world. We need to spend time faithfully, each day, listening to the promises of Jesus. [Piano/Choir - Pentecost 9]

When Jesus taught his disciples to pray, he taught them that we are all his sisters and brothers, and can all call boldly on OUR Father. He also taught us to be intercessors - that is, those who pray for others, asking for the gift of the Holy Spirit. (Organ/Choir - Pentecost 7]

We are very used to hearing about the Good Samaritan, and hearing that he is an example to us all. But what if, in his own day, Jesus' story was not just an 'example' story, but even more of a 'reversal' story, aimed at breaking up the preconceptions of his hearers - and of us? [Organ - Pentecost 5]

Today Paul describes for us the fruit of the Spirit, and Jesus calls us to follow him in that Spirit. Too often people say "Yeah, but…". Let's not sit on our "yeah but"s! [Instrumental strings/Pentecost 3]
