Poured out Like Wine

2 May 2019 By David Trounce Leave a Comment

Sacrifice - Jim Elliot - sermo humilis

You and I are dying. From the moment we are born, we are dying. Every second we create more of our past. More decisions, more breathing, more love and more loathing. All of it slides by into the never-never as we race to grab more moments, more memories more of what is already … [Read more...] about Poured out Like Wine

Delighting in Eternity

Delighting in Eternity - sermo humilis

One of the things that worry some Christians about eternity is the idea of an endless and unchanging universe. Will we get bored? Will life become monotonous?

The Marriage of Matthew and Sarah

27 April 2019 By David Trounce Leave a Comment

Wedding of Matthew and Sarah - sermo humilis

In the beginning, God took unformed matter and began a process of division. Heaven, earth; Day, night; Light, darkness; Land, sea, ...and finally Man and woman.

Honour is not something that can be tucked away in the secret places of the heart. The man who says he honours his wife "secretly" while belittling her publicly is a fool and a liar. Honour, like dishonour, always bubbles to the surface. One of the ways we express this honour … [Read more...] about 1 Week before Marriage – Let the Bed be Holy

Broken Bread

Broken Bread - sermo humilis

Good Friday. It was the last Passover before His death. Jesus held Himself in His own hands and broke what He held as bread for the world. No one made Him do it. He laid His life down of His own accord, and when He was ready, He took it up again. When Abraham was told by God … [Read more...] about Broken Bread
