Monday 20th November – Mark 8:34-38 ‘The upside-down kingdom’

19th November 2023 by asadmin

Growing up, one of my absolute favourite sets of books was the Mr Men series.  I’m sure many of you love these books too!  There were so many great characters: Mr Happy, Mr Tickle, Mr Bump – I wonder what’s your favourite?  I also liked Mr Topsy-Turvy.  As the book begins: ‘Everything about Mr. Topsy-Turvy … Read more

Saturday 18th November – Mark 8:27-33 ‘What kind of Messiah?’

18th November 2023 by asadmin

‘The wrong kind of leaves on the line.’  As a London commuter I used to get the train into work every day.  When you use a train several hundred times a year, you get used to delays!  This quote is one of the best known reasons given for a train being held up; to be … Read more

Friday 17th November – Mark 8:22-26  ‘Seeing clearly’

17th November 2023 by asadmin

This passage initially reminds me of an event we run for older children at Easter, called Easter Cracked.  It’s great fun, and a brilliant way of introducing the Easter story – as part of this event, I usually have to dress up as ‘Mr Easter Egghead’, which involves donning a ridiculous costume, complete with super-thick … Read more

Thursday 16th November – Mark 8:14-21 ‘Use your loaf’

16th November 2023 by asadmin

I must confess I love a good pun!  Thankfully, Jesus does, too.  Squeezing through eyes of needles, having ears to hear, finding planks in eyes… set in context, these are all meant to bring a smile to our faces.   And we saw a few days ago how Jesus responded positively to a witty riposte from … Read more

Wednesday 15th November – Mark 8:1-13 ‘Groundhog Day?’

15th November 2023 by asadmin

I don’t know if you’ve seen Bill Murray’s classic film, which is the title of today’s reflection.  It details the story of a chap whose life is on endless repeat. Whatever happens on any day, the next one begins exactly as before.  It’s very funny, and perhaps a bit unsettling, too. With Jesus, of course, … Read more

Tuesday 14th November – Mark 7:31-37 ‘Everything well’

14th November 2023 by asadmin

A minister friend of mine who spent some time in America loved to tell the story of a preacher he knew who had a healing ministry.  Whenever he gathered people for an evening meeting which offered prayer for healing, this preacher would turn up on stage (and yes, there was a stage) wearing a brilliant … Read more

Monday 13th November – Mark 7:24-30 ‘Heavenly leftovers’

13th November 2023 by asadmin

Growing up in a family of six, mealtimes were always a bit of a scrum.  First to finish got first dibs on the leftovers, so the three teenagers tended to eat quickly!  It was rare for there to be anything left, but if that ever happened, what found its way into the fridge was sure … Read more

Saturday 11th November – Psalm 22:22-31  ‘All will remember’

11th November 2023 by asadmin

Today is Armistice Day.  At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, the armistice was signed and peace was declared to mark the end of the Great War.  Around the world today, and on Remembrance Sunday tomorrow, people will mark this moment in different ways, and take an opportunity … Read more

Friday 10th November – Psalm 63  ‘The night watch’

10th November 2023 by asadmin

Peter Kay’s adverts for John Smith’s bitter in the early 2000s years still rank as some of my favourite ads of all time (I used to test and research ads for a living, so I’ve always had a soft spot for the ad break).  One of the best starred Kay as a dad comforting his … Read more

Thursday 9th November – Psalm 25  ‘Not forgotten’

9th November 2023 by asadmin

God has not forgotten you.  At the risk of sounding like a scratched record (and I have plenty of those, as Alise will tell you), I want to return to Monday’s theme, from a different angle.  You are not forgotten. The world is a big and confusing place, and our current news headlines only serve … Read more
