Mannofield Church Sermons: Recent Episodes
Mannofield Church Sermons
In this Episode Keith talks with Joyce Wyness on the subject of Art and how God (and the stories) of God have been depicted in Art over centuries. We might not all have the gift to display our own image of God on Canvas, but in our heads and imagination we can - and this image of God very much influences us as we seek to live and act faithfully to Him
In this episode we reflect on the tragedies affecting the people of Libya and Morocco and consider how these experiences, and our natural reaction of sorrow, aligns with Faith. Also in this episode, Keith discusses with Iain Hunter his role within the work of Crossreach which is a huge significant part of the Church of Scotland's Outreach within Scotland.
This Podcast welcomes Rhonda McColgan who shares with Keith her personal music story and together they discuss the importance of Music in Worship and in Faith. Updates are also included on the work of Parish Grouping, Union plans within the Grouping, and the projects we are excited about in Mannofield for the months ahead. Keith finishes by reflecting on his favourite hymn and why. (Show Length 39 minutes)
Episode 2 sees us welcome Anne and Alan Thompson as we get to know a little more about them and their Service within the Church. Episode 2 includes a change in format as we continue to fine tune our Podcasting style. The sound is a little quiet in some of the conversations (suggest it is turned up to a high volume) but we now know to make sure the recording device is placed a little closer to ALL the speakers.
Let's see how we go, as we get off and running with 'Mannofield Musings'. Pretty much unplanned content to get us started. Hopefully more to come as we evolve the project.
David's Shame - a lesson for all of us on seeing the 'true us'. A lesson too on the grace and mercy of God.
A Reflection on the Monarchy and Sovereignty and Leadership. Do we Trust our Leaders? Can we Trust ourselves as a 'combined humanity'?
Staying Connected with God, and building Connections in our world that 'better together' we might solve the greatest challenges facing our world.
Thinking about our Gifts, and how to live out the Gospel for no sake other than the Gospel itself.
Desperate for Work, Desperate for Food. The injustices of our world despite God's abundance of Grace
A Reflection on Psalm 139. God's Presence with us, Love for us and His Leading Spirit that directs and corrects us.
Not letting 'Trouble define us' - but instead being open with God about how we are feeling.
When we ask, "What to do?", often the answer, encouragement we need comes from the "community" of which we are part of.
Thinking about David And Goliath. David had the tools! God gives us the Tools for facing our own challenges.
Thinking about the question 'Who' - as we consider the puzzles posed in moments of Change and Transition.
Thinking about the question we ask - 'Why?' - as we live with the experiences of life. In asking, God answers, directing us to an understanding of our role and responsibility.
Reflections on the Trinity and God's adoption of us as His Children - heirs of the Kingdom along with Christ.
Conversations that lead to the Opportunities for God's Spirit to do her work- giving birth to moments of Joy and Encouragement.

Bound together in Love. Binding together the broken threads in our world - one small act at a time - repairing and restoring our world.
A sermon about Listening to the Needs of others. Particularly in the light of the COVID-19 Challenge.
A sermon on Jesus asking for Transformation of our whole being - not just outward action.
A sermon on a well known Bible Passage but with a Call to reflect on our financial giving as part of our Worship to God.
A sermon on the 'new Bloom' of a transformed people and world. The desert of joylessness replaced with joy for all.

Living faithfully but remembering not to be overwhelmed with 'obligation', but to cultivate the sense of Joy in our Faith.
Listening in our Silences to the voices of others from the Past, and to the voice of God.

Continuing the story of Samson and Delilah and looking at how we might fall into the trap of deceiving others, ourselves, and God.
Making sure we have vibrant worshipping communities, in church buildings fit for purpose, situated in the right areas.
Jesus speaks with Authority. No 'sitting on the fence'! A challenge to the Church today.
A sermon on famous exchange between Jesus and Peter when Jesus asks Peter 3 times if he loves him. Peter's affirmation counters directly his 3x denial in an earlier story. Jesus concludes with the words 'follow me'.
This is a trial of a new project which will see us provide podcasts of segments of Church Services, Sermons and other Reflections. Tonight's Maundy Thursday Service was introduced at 7pm with the peeling of Bells in acknowledgment of the Fire at Notre Dame Cathedral.
