SERMON NOTES ARCHIVE

Kia ora and welcome to the archive!

The sermon notes archive dates from the end of June when Alister and Deborah began ministering in the Cathedral. It’s provided as a resource for your reflection and study as past themes may speak to you.   

You may like to delve deeper into these sermon notes at home, at your prayer group or talk to our clergy for more insight.

Bible References & Commentaries
To help you reflect on the week’s sermons and the readings, we recommend these websites:

  • Bible Gateway – Bible Browser (note: the free version has an annoying advert!)
  • Comments –  brief commentaries on the readings from the Revised Common Lectionary
  • Working Preacher – a resource for the whole church from Luther Seminary
