Welcome"We preach, not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake." (2 Corinthians 4:5). What a great verse! I love it because it does just what Charles Simeon longed to do whenever he entered the pulpit: "To humble the penitent, to exalt the Saviour and to promote holiness." Simeon is best known for his long service in the University Church, Holy Trinity Cambridge. When he died in 1836, he had written 12,536 skeletal outlines of expository sermons preached from the Bible. If there was a secret to his ongoing influence among younger preachers, it was surely this life conviction about the purpose of preaching. This is the personal website of Simon Vibert. The purpose of this website is to put together teaching and sermon resources which I have written/spoken for free download. They are no where near as vast, incisive or extensive as Simeon, but, they are modest modern resources for a modern age! Visit my web blog at http://metamorphe.wordpress.com/ which has comment on current Anglican Issues, travel updates and summary of recent writing. I am an ordained minister in the Church of England. I believe that ministry is primarily about teaching and living by the bible. God revealed Himself in history in His Son, Jesus Christ, who John calls "the word made flesh". God continues to reveal himself today through His living Word, the Bible. We connect to God by hearing and heeding His word. This has been the ministry which I have been involved in for the last 18 years. However in July 2007, after Church based work in Carlisle, Buxton and Wimbledon, I took up a new post at Wycliffe Hall Oxford as Vice Principal. My particular responsibility is to set up the School of Preaching to better equip a new generation of Christian Ministers with the joy and privilege of making the living word known through the preaching of the written word. See www.wycliffe.ox.ac.uk. Please follow the links for more information about preaching, contemporary issues, Wycliffe Hall, speaking engagements, and my background and testimony etc. Here you can find a collection of sermons preached and articles written. Please check back for updated articles, sermon resources and online MP3 sermons Other resources will also be added shortly
