In this sermon, part of our ‘Love Wins: Celebrating the Resurrection’ series at St Paul’s Shadwell, I look at the meaning of eternal life. I argue that eternal life is not the end of the world or going to heaven when we die, instead it is union with Christ and participation in his divine humanity. [...]
What’s Your Problem?
In this sermon at the beginning of Holy Week we anticipate the cross as Luke laments over Jerusalem even as the crowds sing Hosanna. They believe he is the one who will drive out the Romans for them. Jesus understood their problem wasn’t the Romans, it was their own hearts. Only the cross is the [...]
Fathers
We heard a sermon on fathers at church this Sunday and I had a nice surprise. My own dad and I didn’t always see eye to eye as I was growing up. We used to argue about most things including the way I ate my peas and the length of my hair. So, perhaps it [...]

Love and Marriage
In this sermon from the Pure Sex series at St Paul’s Shadwell’s young adult evening service I explain the significance of marriage, the purpose of marriage and how to prepare for marriage from Ephesians 5:21-33

In this sermon from the Nuclear Families series at St Paul’s Shadwell’s morning family service I look at the shape of discipleship for all of us before exploring what that means for wives and husbands.

One of those sermons asks “What about Hell?’ The person who is down to preach that sermon really doesn’t want to and I have to [...]
Renovating the Heart
I took part in a pastoral care think tank a few weeks ago. It was one of those precious moments where all of us around the table felt we really were talking about the things we ought to be talking about as ministers and pastors in the church. Two questions stood out for me during [...]
Contagious Heart
In this, the second sermon from the Contagious Christian series at St Paul’s Shadwell, I look at what it means to share God’s love and passion for people far from God.
Contagious Faith
In this, the first sermon from the Contagious Christian series at St Paul’s Shadwell I argue that Christianity, at it’s heart, is a mission to the world.
