How big are you?

How do we assess how big we are as preachers? Is it simply a matter of aggregates: how many people attend our church, listen online or follow our social media streams? Is it assessed by having our book on a bestseller list or our presence on the platform at a…

Another Goodbye

This week marked the home call of well-known church leader Tim Keller. It was moving to hear some of his last words: “To see Jesus. I can’t wait to see Jesus. Send me home.” For a man who spent so much of his ministry pointing people to Jesus these words…

The Sense of an Ending

I have just finished reading Augustine’s 124 homilies on John’s gospel. This is the something of a milestone in my personal project of reading through all of Augustine’s sermons. Augustine ends his last homily with a reflection on the end of John’s gospel. If you are familiar with John’s gospel…

A different kind of King

Unless you are a Martian you will have been aware of the Coronation of King Charles III. If you watched any or all of the ceremony, what were your impressions of it? It was certainly quite a spectacle. The towering ceiling of Westminster Abbey, the wide range of stirring music…

Long Live the King

Getting a new job aged 74 is quite a challenge. King Charles III has served the longest apprenticeship in human history! I hope that there will be many prayers offered for him as he approaches his Coronation and many sermons preached in honour of the occasion. Like the funeral of…

Whisper to Shout

It is said about the incarnation, that those expecting a shout when Messiah came missed his coming because he came in a whisper. I was reminded of this yesterday when attending two separate events in London. The first was the launch event for Magnify, which was organised by Langham Partnership…

Death of a Good Man

I was sorry to hear this week of the death of George Verwer, the founder of Operation Mobilization. What a colourful and quirky character he was, wearing his world map bomber jacket and carrying a huge inflatable globe. The first time I met him he had travelled up to speak…

Easter: Many Happy Returns!

Having returned from holiday on Good Friday I was dispatched on Holy Saturday to find some Cadbury’s Mini Eggs. What I found were piles of Hot Cross Buns, in a variety of flavours, including cheese! Yet Easter eggs of any kind where nowhere to be seen. It is strange because…

Effective Preaching

I enjoy teaching preaching. It is a particular delight to teach in a variety of contexts. Some settings are academic; others are more church-based. Some of the preachers I train have had years of experience; others are novices. I teach preaching in the UK and in a variety of other…

Presentation

The BBC has been in something a muddle in the past week. Former England footballer Gary Lineker was stood down from his role as presenter of the channel’s flagship sports programme Match of the Day. Fellow pundits Ian Wright, Alan Shearer and Micah Richards refused to appear as a protest. …
