Pentecost 15 - Binding Up Letting Loose - Matthew 18: 15-20
In ways this passage is about addressing the difficult issues of conflict and relational breakdown within the church.

Pentecost 13 Who do YOU say I am? Matthew 16:13-20

Pentecost 12 - The Canaanite Woman - Matthew 15: 21-28
We come to the remarkable reading of the Canaanite woman who lunges into the life of Jesus, amongst the crowd and the disciples, and pulls him from the inconvenient interruption, back into the reality of the Christ and the way of God. A remarkable reading for us at this time also, as our minds, hopefully, are turned towards the middle east. Join us as we explore life and faith together.
Pentecost 11 - Take heart. It is I. Do not be afraid - Matt 14:22-33
