2012.05.13 - Kevin Makins - Soma: 1 Corinthians
1 Corinthians 12:12-26, 1 Samuel 17
The body (soma) has been a constant theme through Paul’s letter, but in chapter 12 he brings it into the forefront, working the metaphor to show how all the parts of the body are dependant on one another, and how the smallest things affect the biggest.

2011.12.11 - Kevin Makins - Advent 2011
Numbers 28, Leviticus 16, 1 Samuel 15, Amos 5, Hosea 6, Psalm 50, Genesis 22, Hebrews 10, Romans 12
The way you view the birth of Jesus depends a lot on where you’re standing.
For Advent this year we are going to look at the Christmas narrative from multiple perspectives, and ask the question: “how did each group view the incarnation?”
This week we look at the ox. What did the ox… think(?!)… about the incarnation?
The ox probably thought about the sacrificial system; all the stories he had heard about the altar growing up. He probably reflected on how so many of his friends ended up there, and wondered if this little child might change everything.
Apparently, the ox thought about all sorts of things.
