Sermon preached at the Great Vigil of Easter by Fr Naylor

Sermon preached by Fr Price on Good Friday

Sermon preached by Fr Naylor on Maundy Thursday

In this sermon on Philippians 2:6-11 Fr Naylor explores how knowing Jesus' divine identity transforms us in His self-giving on the Cross.

In this week's Gospel we hear that some Greeks had come to find Jesus. Why is this the moment that Jesus chooses to announce not only His identity but also His death?

On this Mothering Sunday Fr Naylor explores what the ideal image of motherhood says about the Church and about the love of God.

On the Third Sunday of Lent we welcomed The Rev'd Canon Dr Robin Ward SSC, Principal of St Stephen's House Oxford to preach. He reminded us of the three great conversions in the life of the Christian, the three moments that set us on our path to become saints.

For the Second Sunday of Lent we were joined by The Rev'd Dr Phil Wall, URC Chaplain of Oakhill Young Offender's Training Institution. In this homily he explores how fear shapes our lives to great destructive ends, and the way to find hope in Jesus Christ.

On the first Sunday of Lent we were joined by The Rt Rev'd Mark Bryant, sometime Bishop of Jarrow. He spoke to us of how all our spiritual strivings and efforts are always only rooted in the love God has for us first. We never earn it.

Now is the day of salvation! Let us lay aside anything keeping us from the Lord. Let us make confession. Let us come to Him in the Blessed Sacrament. Let us be reconciled to our neighbour. Now is a favourable time. Now is the day of salvation!

At the 6:00pm Mass The Very Rev'd Otis Nichols, the Dean of St George's Cathedral, St Vincent and the Grenadines, taught us how God gives us His own self in the Eucharist so give us power and grace to share His life with the world in need.

The Very Rev'd Otis Nichols, the Dean of St George's Cathedral, St Vincent and the Grenadines, preached at the 11:00am Mass on how our worship flows into our fellowship, which overflows into our mission. The Church has a distinct culture and unless we drink deeply from that which is uniquely our own, we will have little to give to our needy world.

In this homily we learn how Jesus has come to bring us healing and to deliver us from the power of evil. Let us put our trust in Him and ask for His touch in every place we are broken.

Homily preached on the joyful occasion of Liam and Maddie's Nuptial Mass. Rich teaching for all of us and especially those discerning their call to married life and what that means for living out our Missionary lives.

On the Feast of the Presentation of Christ in the Temple we heard how God fulfils His promise to be united to His people and dwell amongst them, no longer in a temple of stone but a living Temple built by the Holy Spirit.

Homily for the Feast of Charles I, King and Martyr

Fr Stephen Edmonds preaches at the 6:00pm Mass exploring how Jesus is the great Prophet - and more than a Prophet - for whom the people of God have waited. How then do we respond?

Fr Price explores 5 teachings from St Paul and how we are instructed to live in this time as we await the fulfilment of Christ's Kingdom.

Fr Price preaches on our calling like the first disciples to follow Jesus and how we can grow in our faith by making use of the Confessional and by studying the Scriptures.

On the Feast of the Epiphany we rejoice that salvation in Christ is for ever nation. In this sermon we learn how to share that hope with others.

In this homily we hear how the perfection and beauty of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary, and Jospeh isn't a judgement against us and our experiences of family, but an invitation to join in God's vast and loving family in Christ.

"God became man that man might become God" Fr Naylor preaches on our calling in Christ to become all that God intends for us.

Fr Naylor helps us celebrate the coming of Jesus Christ and the joy of knowing peace in Him.
