Saturday 7th March – John 10:10-11 ‘The Good Shepherd’

7th March 2026 by asadmin

And so we finish our week with the iconic image of Jesus as The Good Shepherd.  There’s so much we can say; but before we explore the image further, today let’s remind ourselves to link verse 11 to verse 10.  Paragraph breaks are not there in the original text – we impose them in our … Read more

Friday 6th March – John 10:7-9 ‘I Am the Gate’

6th March 2026 by asadmin

On the second Sunday of 2017, we were about to start the 9.30am service, when one of our welcomers came and found me urgently.  ‘Come outside, you’ll want to see this,’ they said.  So, I hustled out and watched one of the more unusual sights I’ve seen in my years here.  Running along the road, … Read more

Thursday 5th March – John 8:12-20 ‘The Light of the World’

5th March 2026 by asadmin

Light is one of the universal religious metaphors in our world.  Jews have Hanukkah, or festival of lights; Hindus and Sikhs have Diwali; Buddhists talk about the path to enlightenment.  Light is one of the few images to have almost universally positive connotations. 1.5 million people each year even take about 12 million trips to … Read more

Wednesday 4th March – John 6:35-40  ‘I am…’

4th March 2026 by asadmin

As we’ve enjoyed the last of Jesus’ seven ‘I am’ statements – I am the true Vine – let’s spend a few days revisiting the other I am statements in John, beginning with the first: Who are you?  Or rather, if you were asked to describe yourself, what would you say? Studded throughout John’s gospel … Read more

Tuesday 3rd March – John 15:3-8 ‘Remain in the vine’

3rd March 2026 by asadmin

Over the winter I’ve been clearing a lot of dead ivy off the trees in my garden.  Ivy is an incredibly efficient plant.  It seems to be able to grow at will, usually quickly, and it wraps itself around whatever other objects – be they trees, shrubs, posts or walls – are at hand.  But … Read more

Monday 2nd March – John 15:1-2 ‘I am the true vine’

2nd March 2026 by asadmin

In April 2013 we had a week’s holiday near Toulouse in the South of France.  It was bitterly cold – that freak winter which didn’t really end until later in April – and the landscape was striking.  Field after field was full of rows of small stumps, hacked down to little over a foot above … Read more

Saturday 28th February – Psalm 103 (ii)  ‘Crowns you with love’

28th February 2026 by asadmin

To end our week, a second day to reflect upon this great Psalm! ‘Heavy is the head that wears the crown.’  This quote (or rather slight misquote!) from Shakespeare’s Henry IV is a great observation about the challenges of leadership and responsibility.  Such things weigh upon us.  Indeed, a literal crown for most monarchs is … Read more

Friday 27th February – Psalm 103  ‘All my inmost being’

27th February 2026 by asadmin

A brief pause in our reflections on John, to reflect upon another great Psalm: ‘Bless the Lord, my soul!’  This joyful beginning to one of the most famous psalms is both much loved and also sometimes causes a little head scratching: surely God blesses us, and not the other way round?  The fact that most modern translations … Read more

Thursday 26th February – Psalm 100  ‘Through all generations’

26th February 2026 by asadmin

A brief pause in our reflections on John, to reflect upon a great Psalm: We live in a culture which focuses largely on the now.  ‘The past is a foreign country,’ and the future is a crystal ball.  Only the present matters. Whilst we inevitably have to live in the here and now, we also … Read more

Wednesday 25th February – John 14:27-31 ‘Peace I leave with you’

25th February 2026 by asadmin

This has been a tumultuous fifteen minutes or so for the disciples.  Imagine hearing that your best friend is going away – you’ve heard it before, but this time it is said with such conviction that you have to believe it.  In response, Jesus has given them some of the most beautiful and profound encouragement … Read more
