Stephen King - The Stand

I'm teaching Apocalypse Now! at Cardiff University this term, and once again the students are starting to see the Book of Revelation around every corner. Harriet has just pointed me to this 1994 advert for the TV series based on Stephen King's novel 'The Stand.'
     "A demon, a prophet, and those chosen to survive...
     They find that their dreams are real!
     'Help us to be true Lord, help us to stand'
     The ultimate stand against the forces of evil"

It's been a bit quiet on the Western Front for a while now - hopefully normal service will resume shortly...

Radio Wales

I'll be preaching on the Radio Wales Sunday Service this coming Sunday morning, with Gareth Evans leading the service.

It's Trinity Sunday, and it was suggested to me that I "preach on the Trinity in no more than seven minutes!" So I wrote my sermon...

Then it was suggested to me that it actually needed to be five minutes and not seven. So I re-wrote my sermon...

Then it was suggested to me that it needed "more stories and jokes". So I re-wrote my sermon...

So, tune in on Sunday morning for 4:30 of stories and jokes, with a brilliant exposition of the Trinity in 30 seconds.

Sermon Wordle

I always preach from a full script, so it was easy to create a Wordle of my sermons from the last couple of years. What does this tell you about my theology?
