Sermons From Clayton Wesley

At a time when we are talking about fake news, alternative facts and truthiness, what did Jesus mean when he talked about the Spirit of truth?

It is Pentecost Sunday and the disciples begin to understand their relation to god in newer and deeper ways 

Last week of the Easter season and Jesus is praying that his disciples and all who follow might be one. What did he mean?

We're still in the Easter season, still unpacking the incarnation and the resurrection. This time through the lens of John 14:23-29 BONUS! following the sermon, The Spire Quartet singing an ancient Icelandic hymn.

What does the world 'glory' mean in John's gospel? And what about the meaning of 'love'? how can we experience these terms when we are so used to hearing them over and over? What does it mean to love?

What does Jesus mean when he says that he and the Father are one?

I wasn't preaching on the 5th. Here's a sermon from back in October of 2018 when we baptised a little fella and looked at what greatness is according to Jesus 

Every year, on the Sunday following Easter Sunday, we hear the story of Thomas and his demand to experience the resurrection for himself. What does it mean for us to experience the risen Christ?

It's Easter, we need to talk about the story of the resurrection

It’s Palm Sunday, it’s Passion Sunday. Jesus wasn’t offering an alternative to the power of Rome, he was offering an alternative to power itself.

It's all about Mary and the expensive perfume she pours on Jesus. It's about living in reality not fantasy. It's about living with death and renewal. BONUS! at the end of the sermon, hear The Spire Quartet sing Ave Maria by Barrows.

The Prodigal Son, The Lost Son, The Lost Sons, take your pick!

Does everything happen for a reason? Not according to Jesus 

The reading this week is from near the end of Paul's letter to the Philippians. Paul makes the outrageous and dangerous claim that those he is writing to are citizens not of Rome but of heaven...

I wasn't at worship on Sunday March 10, so here's one I prepared earlier. It works for the beginning of Lent I think. It's from November of 2018 and the reading is from John 18 when Jesus is before Pilate and Pilate asks Jesus if he is a king...

It's Transfiguration Sunday. What are we to make of this experience/vision/event? 

The resurrection and the Big Bang, a way of thinking about them together 

What do we do with the resurrection? Is it something to be believed or somehow lived?

Jesus calling the disciples and the Hero Journey
