As the new year begins, Fr Sam reflects on Epiphany as a story of insiders and outsiders, and God’s deliberate choice to reveal Himself beyond boundaries. Set against a world marked by fear, conflict, and division, this sermon explores how Jesus was born into political instability, poverty, and displacement, and how the first to worship Him were foreigners and immigrants.

Epiphany reveals a kingdom not built by exclusion, but by welcome. It reminds us that most Christians were once “outsiders” themselves welcomed only by grace and calls us to live that same grace today by building bridges, not walls, and making room for those the world is quick to reject.

On Midnight Mass and Christmas Day, Fr Sam reflects on the power of names and what they reveal about who we are — and who God is. Drawing from St John’s Gospel, he explores Jesus as the Logos: the meaning at the heart of reality who became flesh and lived among us.

This episode traces the names of God through Scripture, the God who sees, the God who sustains, and the God who saves revealing a God who knows us fully and comes close to carry what we cannot.

Christmas, then, is not about having life figured out or being “good enough,” but about discovering what it means to be known, forgiven, and loved by the God who calls us by name.

On the Third Sunday of Advent, Fr Sam reflects on the doubt and confusion of John the Baptist as he waits in prison and questions whether Jesus truly is the Messiah. Through Jesus’ response “Blessed is anyone who takes no offence in me” this episode explores how faith can be tested when God’s work doesn’t match our expectations.

Rather than bringing judgement and power, Jesus reveals a kingdom marked by mercy, healing, and grace. The sermon invites listeners to trust God’s purposes even when the path feels unclear, and to remain faithful without stumbling over the unexpected ways Christ brings redemption.
