Sharing God's Love Growing Faith Worshipping Together
HOME
Thought for the week:​​
​
​
Sometimes you just have to admit defeat. And this Sunday’s Gospel has defeated me.*
Christianity can confuse us. Perplex us even. When that happens, we have choices. We can shrug it off. We can walk away. We can wrestle (remember Jacob in that cracking passage in Genesis?).
As Stuart and I said at Morning Prayer on Wednesday, another option presented itself. It was in
the psalm of the day, Psalm 34:
“Taste and see that the Lord is good.”
We’ll never understand all that the Bible offers, but we can taste and see that the Lord is good. At Eucharist, in private prayer, in a starry sky, in friendship. The menu is endless.

* Luke 17, verses 5-10 if you’re interested. Jesus says faith could uproot a mulberry tree and plant it in the sea. Why would anyone do that? Answers on a postcard, please.

Almighty God,
you have taught us through your Son
that love is the fulfilling of the law:
grant that we may love you with our whole heart
and our neighbours as ourselves;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
