The Missing Bride (Long Version)
This is another version of my podcast for this week, the Third Sunday of Epiphany.
It is again based on the Gospel reading for the day in chapter 2 of St John's Gospel.
The Missing Bride
Preacher: The Reverend Ross Royden
St John writes that the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory (John 1:14). But who would have expected Jesus to reveal his glory to us at a wedding (John 2:11)? And how does giving more wine to people who have already had a lot to drink reveal his glory?

Come and See

Lego Christianity
This is a talk I recorded recently about the way people are using parts of the New Testament to create a different Gospel to one proclaimed there.
O Virgo Virginum (O Virgin of Virgins)
The Blessed Virgin Mary is not only our mother, she is a strong woman of faith and a role model for all who seek to follow her Son.
Forgiveness, Faithfulness, and Thankfulness
Knowing the seriousness of sin, we are to seek forgiveness. Knowing how little faith we have, we are to be faithful. And knowing how much God has done for us in Jesus, we are to be thankful.
Choose Life
Money is not neutral. Serving it brings death. Choose life.
God or Money
We can serve God, or we can serve money, but we can't serve God and money. Jesus uses the example of someone who served money to show us how we should serve God.
A Robust Faith
The challenges we are facing and the changes we are living through demand that we have a robust faith. Jesus tells us what that looks like.
Humbled To Be Exalted
If we humble ourselves God will exalt us. The reverse is also true.
Sabbath, Satan, and Sickness
Jesus frees people from the power of Satan and from all those things Satan uses to hold people captive.
Consider the Lilies
Jesus' words are a challenge to the present economic and educational system; people's values and attitudes; and the Church's mission priorities.
Images of Mary
Our images of Mary are all wrong. We need to bring her into focus and see her as she is.
Memento mori: remember your death
Jesus challenges us to get our priorities sorted out.
Pray the Jesus Way
Jesus gives the disciples a prayer to pray and offers them a gift from the Father to help them. The same gift is available to us.
Distracted by Service
Listening to Jesus' teaching is the most important thing we can do.
All You Need is Love?
Does Jesus' teaching about love mean we are free to decide what we should and should not do?
Freedom in Christ
Christ sets us free from those things that oppress us and threaten to destroy us.
The Most Holy Trinity
We worship one God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

The promise of the Holy Spirit is for you.
