Sermon – July 13th , 2025 The common interpretation of the Good Samaritan as simply a call to do good deeds. Instead, it centers on three crucial questions in the passage: 1.

If Jesus’ actions reveal who He truly is, then we can conclude that He came to undo our fallenness.

I’m back in Glendalough, where the idea for my fantasy novel was born. A year ago, I was walking along the ancient pilgrim paths here, and my imagination just ran wild. What if the old stories about saints and miracles were all true? What if the forests hid elves, wild beasts, and unseen magic? That spark turned into the book I’m now finishing. Bei…

Easter is the centrepiece of Why We Worship Jesus. The resurrection story shows us who Jesus is and that He is who He says he is. It shows us that He is trustworthy. It also shows us that Jesus knows what it is to go through the darkest of moments and come out the other side. Easter is an invitation to celebrate with Him, to walk with Him, and most…

This moment isn’t just about physical healing; it points to the deeper restoratio…

Without the breath of God, we’re just dry bones, flat tyres, and empty balloons. This week, we continued our series with a powerful reminder: the Holy Spirit doesn’t just represent wind, fire, or oil—He is God. From Ezekiel 37 to Acts 2, we saw that when He breathes, life begins.

In Mark 1:29–34, Jesus is revealed as more than a teacher—He is a compassionate servant who brings hope and healing.

That same hope and healing are still av…
