Welcome to my website

I am a pastor and Christian educator.

In a nutshell, this is what I do…


Understand the Bible

My online ministry focussed on creating videos and songs to teach the Bible and the Christian faith.

The Bible Uncancelled

A short, weekday thought from the Bible published on video or podcast.


This Blog

I only write occasionally here now, as my attention is focussed on the two things I mention above. However, there is an archive of over 2,000 posts which I’ve made over the last 20+ years, these posts are all still accessible.

  • Last 21 and Laura and Pete’s Wedding

    It’s been a bit of a busy old weekend once again! On Friday night we had our last ever 21. (Well, the last for the foreseeable future at least). It was a social, we just played games and had some food… in general it was a good evening! We’ll definitely miss all the 21ers, although…

  • Day 321: Thing… on the ground

    Day 321: Thing… on the ground Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Make a photo from ground level" Well I have no idea what this is, but it’s at ground level. Unfortunately you can’t really see the ground very well so you’ll just have to take my word for it!

  • Day 320: Be Thou My Vision

    Day 320: Be Thou My Vision Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Make a photo that features stripes of some sort today." I’ve done it a few times before, but I always like the ‘stripes’ of a music score. We sung ‘Be Thou My Vision’ at the wedding yesterday, I was playing…

  • Day 318: Spanners

    Day 318: Spanners Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Make a photo of a tool today" Unfortunately this isn’t one I use every day, but these are kept in the car for use if ever I need them…

  • Day 317: Keyboard

    Day 317: Keyboard Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Make a photograph today dominated by dark values" This was taken in a bit of a hurry, but I think it didn’t come out too badly nonetheless.

  • Day 315: Bricks

    Day 315: Bricks Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Make a photo of a regular or irregular pattern" This is a semi-regular pattern, or part of one. Part of a brick wall, taken from a strange angle.

  • Psalm 95: True Worship

    This is more for reference than anything else, but you can read the text of my sermon on Sunday night here: Psalm 95: True Worship. Unfortunately it wasn’t recorded so you won’t be able to listen, but I think it’s probably more clear on paper than I managed to make it on the night!

  • Speaking and preaching

    Well it’s been a busy old few weeks for us! The weekend before last, as mentioned, we had the 21 weekend away. This weekend, Phil went up to Yorkshire to look at some trees, and I was preaching on the Sunday evening. Let me just unpack that a little bit… on Friday evening we had…

  • Day 314: Lines into the Distance

    Day 314: Lines into the Distance Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Make a photo with a strong linear composition today." Well I don’t know about a ‘linear’ composition as such but there are several lines. Obviously the horizon line is dominant, followed by the tyre track lines going off through the…

  • Day 313: Mallets and Balls

    Day 313: Mallets and Balls Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "juxtapose something small with something big" Not sure I really got this right, but I was out and about today and saw these croquet mallets with these balls. Thought it made a good photo anyway, although I think it needs a…
