Start:Stop : The Fire of God's Love

The Apostles Speaking in Tongues - Nicholas Pope

Introduction
Good morning and welcome to Start:Stop.

My name is Phillip Dawson. Reverend Stephen is away today, he returns next week. This reflection will last ten minutes. The readings and prayer responses can be found on the leaflet on the table, please do take a copy.

Well….who isn’t talking about “that” sermon?  Bishop Michael Curry’s words at the Royal Wedding on Saturday certainly set the media on fire this weekend! This morning we’ll be reflecting more about the transformative power of God’s love using the imagery of fire, with the help of the Venerable Bede, whose feast day the church celebrates on Friday – and brothers John and Charles Wesley, who are remembered on Thursday.

First, a reading from scripture, which you can find on page 70 in the Old Testament section of the church bibles. This passage describes the moment before Moses receives the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai, fifty days after Passover.
