Stepping Out
What if Peter should've stayed in the boat? Maybe he shouldn't have been out on the water...
-
Save us!!!
As Jesus rides into Jerusalem on a donkey the people cry "Save us!!!"... but why? and from whom? and how?
-
Just small steps
We like to imagine that it would never be us who did bad things. But it turns out the road to horrific acts isn't one big leap but lots of small steps. Jesus warns us about the temptation to follow on...
-
Their welfare is your welfare
People have been taken away to as captives and Jeremiah, one of their own prophets, tells them to settle in for the long hall... and to pray for the welfare of the people who defeated them and took them away. Why? Because our welfare is completely dependant on the welfare of the whole…

More faith please!
Who wouldn't want more faith? But is that how it works? Jesus' disciples thought so... but they got more than they expected when they asked for more...
-
Can you change your mind?
When was the last time you actually changed your mind about something? Is it even possible? Stewart Cutler takes a deep dive into how and why we change our thoughts and why it is so transformative when we do!
-
YOU are a superhero!
Samson is held up as one of the heroes of the Bible... but is he? Or is he more of a lesson in how not to use the power we have? Because we all have the chance to do good... or not to.
-
be here now!
You never know the moment when things will change forever, so always be ready!
-
You're doing Karaoke WRONG!!!

-
The Age of Thunder & Rage
A Simple Minds inspired sermon exploring Luke 9:51-62 from Stewart Cutler at St Ninian's Church in Stonehouse.
-
What does Pentecost mean for us?
Pentecost is the day the Holy Spirit was given to Jesus' disciples... and the church was born... but what does that mean for us today?
-
I AM your Father
When Jesus calls God his Father we completely miss how important that is and how it completely changes how we think about God and how close we are to God... Our Father...
-
Change
It had been 3 years since Jesus walked into their lives... and just a few days after Easter they have gone back to what they know. Change is hard... transformation... even harder. So how can we change?
-
He is Risen!!!
The darkness was dark... really dark. But the light shines in the darkness and the darkness couldn't ever put it out. We should have known all along!!! Jesus is alive. He is Risen!
-
Do you want it darker?
Palm Sunday seems really... nice. Isn’t it? It’s really jolly.Everything is as it should be. Even the weird procurement of a donkey goes exactly as Jesus said it would. And we see that as 'normal'. Just part of the story. Nothing to see here. Move along. And I think that's a problem with this…

Time for a spiritual workout?
We look after our physical health. We watch what we eat and we exercise... but what about our spiritual health? How do we keep our souls in shape?
-
Flourish
We all want to be the best version of ourselves. We all want to grow and flourish. Stewart Cutler lays out some of the issues we need to address to help us all to flourish.
-
Wellbeing matters
Our wellbeing matters and faith has something important to say about that!
-
Made in God's Image
YOU are made in God's image... and I think that probably scares the living daylights out of us... but it's true. And if it is true then that should change the way we think of ourselves and each other... a reflection from Stewart Cutler on Psalm 139 for the 2025 World Day of Prayer
-
what would Jesus do?
Do you ever wonder what Jesus would do? Why? Isn't it clear? Isn't the problem that we don't want to do it?
-
the BIG lie
What if I was to tell you that it’s all a lie? All of it. All the things we are told are important, the thing we are told we should work hard for, the way that the worlds works, the way we’re supposed to treat each other. What if I told you there was a different way? I wonder… would you believe me?
-
get the idea?
Sometimes it’s not just what you say… it’s the way that you say it that matters. We can tell when someone means it, or not. I think that when Jesus reads from Isaiah that the Spirit of the Lord is upon him the people know he means it. And they’re afraid.
-
Do NOT be afraid!
What are you afraid of? And how do others use our fears to manipulate and control us? And what can we do about it? Stewart Cutler explores how Simon (Peter) faces his fears and how we might face ours
-
With God there is always plenty!
We’ve all been at weddings. Anyone who has arranged a wedding knows all the potential social pitfalls. Leaving someone off the guest list can lead to family rifts that never heal. Trying to decide where people sit at the meal can be the hardest part of the planning! What should be a pretty...
-
Prayer is the Foundation
Prayer is the foundation of everything Jesus does so it should be our foundation too. But having a good foundation of prayer isn't always easy. Stewart Cutler shares some thoughts on why we should develop good habits of regular prayer.
-
The Secret to Making REAL Change
New year… new you. It’s time to make a change. How many times have you told yourself that? And how many times has it stuck? So, how do we make real and lasting change in our lives?
-
All your problems solved!
Too good to be true? Sort of. Most of us know what the solutions to our problems are. We just don't like the solution because it's too hard or involves too much change. What if Jesus is a model for how we solve our problems?
-
A new world is coming!
It's almost here... that new world that we hope for... the one where the poor are raised up and the mighty brought down. Revolution is in the air... and it begins with two children...
-
becoming
We are all becoming something... but what? and why?
-
Even more bread
The people are hungry and Jesus knows how to satisfy them... but the bread they get isn't what they expect!
-
Choices
We make loads of choices everyday... but Herod makes a disastrous one.
-
You can't be what you can't see!
When Jesus sends out his disciples in pairs it's partly so they understand what they can do, but also so the community sees that this kingdom of God stuff is about way more than Jesus...
-
restored to community
a woman and a man, both desperate for healing, come to Jesus... who gives them more than they could ever expect!

Service (Taylor's Version)

Have a day off! All of you...
Sabbath... rest... recover... recreate... it's a commandment that's almost impossible to keep. But it matters!!!
-
Open Arms
We have open arms for broken hearts
-
Fruitful
Fruitfulness… what does it mean to be fruitful in God? What does fruitfulness even look like because none of us are grapes? None of us is actually attached to a vine… So what does it mean to be grafted into God? What does it mean to grow and to be pruned and to be fruitful? What does it mean to...
-
Good Shepherd
Jesus tells his followers that he's the good shepherd... and that's a powerful image of someone who will protect and care for his followers, even to the cost of his own life.
-
In the flesh!
Jesus is alive. Yeah. Right. I’m not sure I believe that. And if that’s what you think you are in good company. That’s what Jesus own followers, his closest friends, his disciples thought too. Jesus is alive. Sure. OK. Where is he then?
-
Hold On!!!
Have you ever missed out on something important? Something your friends or colleagues got to share in but you were busy doing something else…. That’s what happens to Thomas. He’s out. Busy. And Jesus visits the other disciples. And Thomas misses out not just on seeing Jesus but on some pretty...
-
Palm Procession

-
We're getting John 3:16 wrong!!!
What if we're getting this faith thing all wrong? What if we're meant to be doing something different?
-
What's YOUR Identity?

Start!
It's time to start... but first Jesus has to get ready!
