Introduction to “Jesus and Stress”

This in an article I wrote for my colleagues at work who were suffering from stress. It is based on a study of the life of Jesus in the gospel of Luke. It shows how he coped with stress and draws conclusions that can help us.

Introduction to “Addictions”

This is the second of two sermons I preached to our church in about 2001. It is follows on from the talk entitled “Outer and Inner Driven”. That talk showed the importance of living a life driven by the Holy spirit from the inside. As we all know, there is much more than the Holy Spirit that can drive us from the inside! This talk shows how we can make sure we really are driven by the Holy Spirit and not by other impulses. I hope this talk could be helpful to anyone struggling with compulsive behaviour patterns.

Introduction to “Outer and Inner driven”

This is the first of two sermons I preached to our church in about 2001. It is based on insights that I gained from my own struggles during the “Dark night” period. It is based on the concept that God does not want us to live a “religious” life in which we strive to obey eternal laws, but to live a life that arises from the Holy Spirit in us. See the following talk on Addictions for the second part.
