On the 5th Sunday of the month The Trinity Benefice in Folkestone, which comprises of St George's Church, St Paul's Church and Holy Trinity Church meet to worship together. The 30th July 2023 was one of these occasions and I was invited to preach. The gospel reading was from Matthew 13 where Jesus uses parables about mustard seeds, yeast, treasure, pearls and fish to describe the kingdom of heaven. I pray this podcast will be encouraging and challenging. The music is The Light from Within by Howard Harper-Barnes from Epidemic Sound

Moses and the burning bush is a well known story in the Bible - but it is a story that is worth spending a few minutes considering and meditating on.  In this episode we are going to do just that. Moses was asked by God to take on a pretty huge challenge and, naturally, Moses had a few questions and concerns which definitely sound pretty familiar - what if they don't believe me? what if I can't do it? what if they challenge my authority? As with every podcast I produce I pray that you will hear God's voice in this podcast.

It's so easy to be stuck in a spiral or cycle of worry isn't it? These verses from Pauls letter to the Philippians can really help us in how to deal with worry in a practical way. This a short meditation on Philippians 4:6-7 and, as with all of my podcasts, I pray you will hear God's voice as you listen. Philippians 4:6-7  Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
