Church resources
These are sermons I have preached in my capacity as a Reader (lay minister) in the Church of England, most of them at the Anglican church of St Mary Magdalen in the village of Sheet, near Petersfield in Hampshire, England. The material is freely offered for personal reading or for public use in preaching or teaching the Christian faith. An appropriate acknowledgement would be appreciated, as would any feedback or questions to mike@trikeshed.com
Much interest has been shown from time to time in the UK about websites offering "sermons for sale". The material here is offered free of charge but I hope nobody will simply take what I have written and regurgitate it to their congregations. Sermons should be personal, for the moment and for the particular congregation. Past sermons written by others can be useful as background material or to give ideas or useful illustrations, but in my opinion the material must be prayerfully incorporated into something which the preacher is preparing personally.
