Jesus – Yet Another Question?

When did Easter Start?

CarolynPhillipsAdmin Atonement, God, Jesus 15th April 2022

When did Easter start? Did it start in the garden, when a woman in fear and despair came to perform one last task for Jesus, to clean and anoint his body in death but instead found her Lord, calling her by name? Did it start in the dawn on Sunday, as the sun began to rise, and […]

What didn’t I preach this morning?

CarolynPhillipsAdmin Jesus, Sermons 10th April 2022

I should have been preaching this morning, but after at least 3 clear days my daughter had several seizures and with her dad away on a scout camp, I had to stay home. There were some reserve plans, so I hope they are having a lovely, God-filled morning. I thought I might as well put the preparation […]

What did I learn doing a Church History MA?

CarolynPhillipsAdmin Church History, Jesus, Questioning 19th February 2022

This is taken from a talk I was asked to give at church one Sunday morning. I’ve taken my notes from then and rewritten them into a blog post, making some changes as relevant. Since I was studying when I started the blog, I thought now I’ve finished this would be a good place to restart. Why […]

Why Have I been on Two Pride Parades within a Month?

CarolynPhillipsAdmin God, Jesus, LGBT, Questioning 9th June 2018

I could ask why not? However, if you are thinking I shouldn’t be going then I know the reasons you could be thinking of giving. Many of them were opinions I once held, albeit, I hope, lightly. However I’ve studied, I’ve thought, I’ve prayed, I’ve read, then read, studied and prayed some more. Then I’ve ignored it […]

What does it mean to ‘be saved’?

CarolynPhillipsAdmin Atonement, Conversion, Jesus 6th June 2018

So, after my last post about John Wesley, Aldersgate, and conversion, I decided that I should make a start on questions about being saved. What does it mean to ‘be saved’? Is it saved from, saved for, saved to, or somehow just saved by? Are we saved once at a set moment in time? Or is it […]

Was Jesus human?

CarolynPhillipsAdmin Jesus 5th June 2018

Jesus. Man. God. Fully human and fully God. We worship, follow, serve, and with our limited understanding of trinity try to grasp how man and God can co exist in one person. The result is that often we see Jesus the man as special, as other, as ‘but that was Jesus’. But I think this means we […]
