		<description><![CDATA[On Sunday evenings we are studying the psalms together.  I’m planning to cover the first twenty or so.  <strong>The psalms were never intended just to be read, either silently or aloud.  They’re not merely poems - they are songs.</strong> The book of psalms was the hymnbook of ancient Israel.  So, if aiming to get the full impact of the psalms, emotionally as well as intellectually, it’s important that we sing them together.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We’ve just reached the end of a long series of sermons on Christian doctrine. It was in January 2006 that we began the ‘Truths for Today’ series.  For more than three years we’ve been working systematically through the great truths of the Christian faith.  It’s done me good.  I’ve had to grapple with issues I [...]]]></description>

We gathered at Charlesworth, baptised one of the students who has come to us this year, brought him into membership, and then sat down together around the Lord’s Table to remember the Lord Jesus. I was especially glad that many of the children of the church could be [...]]]></description>

But if I were talking to somebody who really wanted to know, and who had the time and inclination to listen, I’d want to say five things. Firstly, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ What is a missionary? Silly question. We all know what a missionary is, don’t we? We have missionary prayer meetings. We get missionary newsletters. We read missionary biographies. A missionary is, well&#8230; a missionary. And yet, nobody seems to be able to tell me just what we mean when we call a person a missionary. [...]]]></description>

I’m especially grateful for the men who stood in to take meetings while I was on ‘paternity leave’. But so many folk have shown us kindness in other ways. Thank you to those who offered to look after [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve been thinking about hymnbooks.  And I’m not the only one.  Christians everywhere are discussing hymnbooks.  In fact, they’re not just discussing hymnbooks.  They’re having blazing rows about hymnbooks.  Christians are leaving churches because of disagreements about hymnbooks.  Churches are splitting in half because they can’t agree about hymnbooks.  Pastors are being sacked because of [...]]]></description>

Perhaps of all the meetings I’m preparing for, this could be the most vital. I’ve been asked to speak on the subject of ‘Worship’. Or rather, I’ve [...]]]></description>

Our constitution says that elders of the church must assent “to the system of doctrine taught in the 1689 London Confession of Faith and the 1966 Affirmation of Faith”.  The opening lines of our trust-deed say “The objects of the Church are&#8230;to [...]]]></description>

He was one of the greatest theologians and Bible-teachers who ever lived, but to the end of his life, showed the simple faith of a child. In all his writings, he shows that great learning can be coupled with [...]]]></description>
