Around St Aidan's

In Honour and Praise of our Father

Father’s day hasn’t long past and once again my sons and family raised my spirits with fond memories and words of congratulations. You know, I think I prefer Father’s Day over birthdays. Everybody gets a birthday but not everyone gets to be a dad.

A Christian friend said to me, “Don’t you know? Every day – on earth and in heaven – is Father’s Day!” I thought they’re right. Dad’s come in all forms – biological dad, step dad or may just a fatherly figure. But for one day, we all get to share in Our Father’s spotlight.

It humbles me to think that we are honoured with the same title as our Creator. In comparison to God, “THE Father”, we don’t deserve the title. How or why did we become known as fathers? I don’t have an answer but all the same, it’s an incredible responsibility – and an awesome gift.

The Supremacy and Sufficiency of Christ

Text – Colossians 1:15-20

Time - 00:18:28

In our epistle this morning, in chapter 1:15-20, what we have is a great opportunity to deepen our knowledge and therefore also our relationship with Jesus our Lord and Saviour. This passage is like an immense and extravagant feast on the person of Christ. There’s far too much here to consume in one sitting. There’s more here than we can cover today, but I want to look with you at four key points Paul makes.
