Simon Benham’s Blog
Hello, and thanks for making it to my blog. My name is Simon and I am the Senior Pastor here at Kerith Community Church.
This blog is a place for me to share thoughts on pretty much anything which takes my interest. This will often be related to things happening in our church community or life lessons I am in the process of learning. It could also be reflections on current world events, reviews of books I am reading or commentary on how well Newcastle United are doing in the league! You just never know what you're going to get...
I hope you find this blog interesting and insightful. If you have any ideas on topics you'd like me to write about, then please email me and I’ll see what I can do. Also, if you’d like to get these blogs sent straight to your email inbox, you can subscribe using the button below.
Happy reading,
Simon
Tent pegs and riots
Last Sunday, I spoke on the story of Deborah, which can be found in Judges 4 or in Judges 5, where the same story is told again but in song. But for now, I’m going to focus on the end of Deborah’s story, when a lady called Jael kills a man called Sisera – the commander of the enemy army – by hammering a tent peg through his head.
