The Power of the Resurrection

When Jesus rose from the dead on Easter Day it changed the world forever. Within the stories contained in the New Testament we see a number of examples of this transformation within the lives of people who encountered the risen Jesus. During this series we will look at a number of these stories and consider the ways in which the power of the resurrection can transform sorrow, doubt, guilt and hatred. But rather than just seeing how this was true for Mary Magdalene, Thomas, Peter and Paul, it is intended to be an opportunity for us to consider how the resurrection might further transform such characteristics within our own lives as well.

Easter People

During Holy Week and then into Easter we will take a fresh look at the stories in the gospels and what they are trying to emphasise. Before Easter this will involve looking at some of the details contained within the Easter stories, thinking about why they are there and pondering what the Gospels mean when they proclaim that ‘God became King’. After Easter Day we will then look at two of the key characters in the Easter stories – Mary Magdalene and Peter – and try to learn more about the relevance of the Resurrection from the way in which it transformed their lives.

Faith, hope and love: Responding to the call to mission

The new Bishop of Southwark, Christopher Chessun recently announced a call to mission across the diocese entitled ‘Faith, Hope and Love’. This will take place in three stages. The first of these, over the season of Lent in 2012, is the encouragement of individuals within each church to think about the ways in which they could show more of these virtues.

The first of these, over the season of Lent in 2012, is the encouragement of individuals within each church to think about the ways in which they could show more of these virtues.

In response to this call, all of our sermons across the first three weeks of March will focus on the themes of ‘Living by Faith’, ‘Sharing Hope’ and ‘Showing Love’. In 1 Corinthians 13 Paul speaks of ‘Faith, Hope and Love’ as the things that, when everything else has passed away, will continue into the new creation that God will one day bring. These sermons will therefore seek to be practical and encourage us all to think about very concrete and specific ways in which we could develop these virtues more in our everyday lives.
