Christian Aid Week is 15-21 May 2022.

See the article at the foot of this week’s post for how you can help during this week and how any donation you can make would be used and make a real difference.

This week’s main Bible reading is from Matthew’s Gospel and focuses on John the Baptist in the context of wider issues raised by Christian Aid Week such as Climate Justice and the relief of poverty.

How God embraces our vulnerability (and how we should respond)

by

08 May 2022 is the Fourth Sunday of Easter.

The main Bible reading for today comes from the New Testament: John’s Gospel (John 10:14, 22-30).

It’s the image of Jesus as The Good Shepherd.

Jesus said: “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me.” (John 10:14).

In today’s sermon, Rev. Geoff McKee discusses this passage of Scripture with regard to God’s approach to us and in terms of our response to him.

Below, you will find the text from John, Chapter 10, together with the video recording of today’s service from St. James’.

What we get from this adventure is just sheer joy

by

That’s a quote from George Mallory.

He was the famed mountain climber who may have been the first person ever to reach the top of Mount Everest (in 1924) and his story and legacy features in Rev. Geoff McKee’s sermon this week.

The main scripture this week is from the Old Testament – Psalm 30 – where we find that God has met the Psalmist at the place of absolute weakness and helplessness and has brought deliverance (a “wild lament” turned into a “whirling dance” of joy).

The enduring impact of Psalm 30 for the Christian does not lie with the Psalmist. Instead, it points us to God. God has journeyed with the Psalmist to the point of death and found a way forward from it.

This has been an important week in Lossiemouth, with obvious steps taken towards a resumption of (joyful 🙂 ) access to the East Beach, last available in July 2019.
