  • The Power of Biblical Refrains in Daily Life, Revd Mark Fletcher
    2025/07/07

    This sermon was given on 6 July 2025 at St. Peter's Church, Chateau d'Oex, Switzerland. Revd Mark Fletcher explores how biblical refrains from Psalm 118 serve as powerful spiritual anchors in our daily lives. Drawing from Jesus' own use of these repeated phrases, Fletcher demonstrates how intentional engagement with scripture's repetitive truths can counter the anxiety-inducing messages of modern culture. The sermon challenges believers to choose daily spiritual practices that write God's truth upon their hearts, replacing worldly fears with the eternal refrain that God's love endures forever.

  • John 21 - The Beautiful Story of Peter's Restoration and Calling, by Revd. Mark Fletcher
    2025/06/30

    This sermon was given by Revd. Mark Fletcher at St. Peter's Anglican Church, Château d'Oex, Switzerland on 29 June 2025. It explores the profound encounter between Jesus and Peter on the beach after the resurrection, where Jesus prepared breakfast and asked Peter three times "Do you love me?" The message emphasises that Peter's restoration came not through his own merit but through Christ's gracious love, transforming his denial into a commission to "feed my sheep." Revd. Fletcher highlights that love, not competence or courage, is the foundation of all Christian ministry, and that leadership in Christ's church requires deep love above all other qualifications. The sermon reminds us that we are all forgiven sinners called to follow Jesus day by day, trusting in His provision of daily bread and presence rather than our own control, finding security in the simple but profound calling to love and serve others in His name.

  • God-Breathed: Why the Bible Remains Our Trustworthy Guide, by Revd Mark Fletcher
    2025/06/29

    This talk, was given on 21 June 2025 at St. Peter's Anglican Church, Château d'Oex.Revd. Mark Fletcher explores how the Bible serves as God's primary means of communication in our noisy world, emphasising that Scripture is "God-breathed" and designed to be formational rather than merely informational. Drawing from 2 Timothy 3:16, he explains that all Scripture is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, functioning like a map that keeps believers on course. Fletcher illustrates this through Karl Barth's experience of discovering that simply teaching the Bible, rather than showcasing theological sophistication, transforms lives. He presents three concentric circles of God's word: Christ as the ultimate revelation, Scripture as the inspired record, and the Holy Spirit working through prayerful reading and faithful preaching. The sermon calls believers to regular Bible reading, passing on faith to the next generation, and recognising Scripture as a trustworthy guide containing "words of eternal life" that shapes Christian community and individual character through consistent, humble engagement.
