The thing that David had done

A sermon preached at St Paulinus, Crayford Sunday 17 June 2007, 8am and 10am Mass 2 Samuel 11.26 - 12.10, 13-15; Psalm 32; Galatians 2.15 - 21; Luke 7.36 - 8.3 "But the thing that David had done displeased the Lord." Words from our first reading. David was king. He saw a woman – Bathsheba – who he fancied a great deal. She was married, but her husband was away in battle, so David had her brought to him. He thought her husband would never find out. Unfortunately for David, Bathsheba became pregnant. Since her husband Uriah was away in battle for many months, it would be obvious that the baby wasn't his. So after various attempts to solve his problem, David eventually succeeded in getting Uriah killed. What he did, was that deliberately send Uriah to the hardest part of the battle, and commanded the other soldiers to withdraw to leave Uriah alone on the battlefield surrounded by enemies – there was no doubt he would be killed. This was the thing that displeased the

Miracles

A sermon preached by the Rev’d Natasha Woodward At All Saints' Church, Orpington 9.30am Eucharist, Sunday 3 August 2008 , Genesis 32.22-31; Matthew 14.13-21 This is the 4th instalment of the story of Jacob. Some previous parts of his story – edited highlights - have been read in church on the Sundays in July. If you read the whole story of Jacob from chapter 25 of Genesis, you might notice that wrestling is a theme of Jacob's life. Looking back, he struggled with his brother Esau, literally from the womb. He struggled with his father-in-law, Laban, he struggled with his domestic situation – he had a good old rant in chapter 31 listing all the difficulties of his adult life. The bible even uses the word "wrestling" in relation to his wife Rachel, who struggled to have a child. Here We have heard now about Jacob wrestling with this strange man – and this seems to be an image of the way that many things were struggle for him. We all know, I think, that sometimes li

Commitments

A sermon preached by the Rev’d Natasha Woodward At All Saints' Church, Orpington Sunday, 11 January 2009 (Baptism of Christ) Readings: Mark 1.4-11; Acts 19.1-7 I've noticed that I find it easier to promise to do something if it doesn't involve being in a particular place at a particular time. If someone says – come and preach at my church sometime! I say yes of course. But – come and preach on the 11th of January, as I am doing this evening at another church – makes me just a little jittery. There's the moment of writing it in the diary, when I have to consider whether I can really make this commitment. Much easier just to say, yes I'll come sometime! I wonder if most of us are like this. That, for legitimate reasons, because of busy diaries, or uncertainties about our health or our other commitments, it is much harder to make a commitment that involves saying we'll be in a particular place at a particular time. It's easy to say we must have a chat s
