Climb the Mountain
This sermon was given at our Sunday morning service on 19th February 2023, the last Sunday before Lent. I hope you enjoy reading it, and don't find the puns (too!) cringe-worthy! The gospel reading was Matthew 17:1-9 . The astute amongst you may well have spotted a theme running through our readings today. All of our readings, from the Old Testament, to our Gospel and the other New Testament reading from 2 Peter mentioned one thing. If we had read out today’s psalm as well, we’d have heard that that theme in the psalm too. That theme is ‘mountains’. And mountains have certainly given me ‘ summit’ to think about in preparing my sermon today. Oh – sorry, were you not ‘ inclined’ to find that joke funny? I thought it was the ‘ peak’ of humour, myself but maybe you’re just not appreciating how hill- arious I actually am? I guess I’d better leave the mountain jokes here, and ‘ ev-a-rest ’. I’m so sorry. Feel free to come at me after the service today with your worst
