All Saints' Chiang Mai

From Father Iain, All Saints Chiang Mai

This Friday is Good Friday!

(My church email is not working!  Please use iainbaxter.mail@gmail.com to contact me!)Dear Friends,

Greater love has no one than this – that they lay down their life for their friends!

We are now in the holiest time of the Christian year – Holy Week!  On Friday we will meditate together on that ultimate sacrifice made by Jesus – it has the power to change the world! 

Self-sacrifice not human sacrifice is what Good Friday is all about.  It wasn’t a vengeful God who demanded blood, but a vengeful people – a vengeful political and religious establishment!  It wasn’t God killing a man, but rather men trying to kill God.  Of course, they failed which is what we celebrate on Easter Sunday!

So, let us try to follow in the footsteps of Jesus – to act for others out of love, not fearing the consequences, but trusting in God!.

For Good Friday our Tenebrae Service will have readings from Matthew 26:17-29, Matthew 26:36-56, Mark 15:1-15, Mark 15:16-32, Matthew 27:45-54, Isaiah 52:13 – 53:5, and Matthew 27:62-66.  We will sing the hymns When I Survey the Wondrous Cross; O Sacred Head, Now Wounded; How deep the Father’s love for us; My Song is Love Unknown; Were You There When They Crucified My Lord; and O Love that Will Not Let Me Go!

The readings for Easter Sunday will be from Acts 10:34-43, Colossians 3:1-4, and Matthew 28:1-10, and we will be singing the hymns Jesus Christ is Risen Today; Rise up Women; In Christ Alone; Christ is Alive; and Thine Be the Glory!Use this link to join on Zoom on Good Friday at 7 p.m. or Easter Sunday at 10:30 a.m.

This Sunday is Palm Sunday!

(My church email is not working!  Please use iainbaxter.mail@gmail.com to contact me!)

Dear Friends,

This week we celebrate Palm Sunday when Jesus rode in triumph into Jerusalem. 

Our parade this year will be a little smaller as the children from the Youth Charity Foundation are away so they won’t be waving palms with us.  However, as everyone loves a winner we’ll look at the popularity of fame and success!  But, is that the Christian way?

Pastor Mark will be leading our parade and worship this Sunday!

The scripture readings this week will be Matthew 21:1-11, Philippians 2:5-11, and Mark 14:1-9, and we will be singing the hymns Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna in the Highest; All Glory, Laud and Honour; Hosanna, Loud Hosanna; Above All; and Ride On! Ride On in Majesty!

Easter is Coming!

(My church email is not working!  Please use iainbaxter.mail@gmail.com to contact me!)

Dear Friends,

Those who love their life lose it, and those who hate their life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

These are the words of Jesus in John chapter twelve. 

This week The Happiness Research Institute released the results from the Longest Study on Happiness.  One of the conclusions was that people who care for others first end up happier in the long-run.  “Putting yourself first” doesn’t work after all!

But Jesus’ words are even more challenging!  Lose your life?  Find out more this Sunday as Pastor Mark preaches on the passage!

The readings this week will be Jeremiah 31:31-34, Hebrews 5:5-10, and John 12:20-33, and we will be singing the hymns O Worship the King, Now the Green Blade rises, My Song is Love Unknown, and Lift High the Cross!

Lifting high the Cross at Candlemas

(My church email is not working!  Please use iainbaxter.mail@gmail.com to contact me!)Dear Friends,

This week, our Old Testament Reading from the Book of Numbers tells the strange story of the Bronze Serpent. 

The Israelites were again complaining about the food as they wandered in the desert.  The text says “Then the Lord sent poisonous serpents among the people, and they bit the people, so that many Israelites died.”  Once the people asked for forgiveness God gave the antidote:  “And the Lord said to Moses, ‘Make a poisonous serpent, and set it on a pole; and everyone who is bitten shall look at it and live.”  This is not the current recommendation for the treatment of a snake bite!!!

How do we understand this passage?  Does it teach us anything about what God is really like?  Well, Jesus interpreted the events allegorically saying “just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.”  Does this help, or does it muddy the waters even further?

I will try to answer these questions, and maybe ask a few more, at All Saints this Sunday!

The readings this week will be Numbers 21:4-9, Ephesians 2:1-10, and John 3:14-21, and we will be singing the hymns When Morning Gilds the Skies; When I Survey the Wondrous Cross; O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go; and Oh for a thousand Tongues to Sing!

Recording of Services



Each week we record the service so that we can make a video of the sermon available.  On special services we produce a video of the whole service.

It is quite understandable that, for various reasons, some people do not wish to be recorded or have their image shared on the church website, Facebook page, or weekly church email.

If you are one of those people who prefer not to be recorded, please sit on the back row of the church or down the side behind the organ.  This will ensure you remain out of shot.  People sitting in these seats will also not be shown when they come up to the altar to receive communion.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

What do we need to do?

(My church email is not working!  Please use iainbaxter.mail@gmail.com to contact me!)

Dear Friends,

Spring is a time for spring cleaning – and in the northern hemisphere Spring is about to begin!  In this week’s Gospel reading we read of Jesus cleansing the Temple – a practical and metaphorical driving out of corruption!

What do we need to cleanse from our lives?  What thing really needs to go?  And what about our church, what needs overhauling in the way we worship or how we interact with one another? All these questions may be addressed this Sunday at All Saints! 

The readings this week will be Exodus 20:1-17, 1 Corinthians 1:18-25, and John 2:13-22, and we will be singing the hymns Awake, My Soul, and with the Sun; Make Me a Channel of your Peace; Lord Jesus Christ; and Lift High the Cross!

Slain Russian opposition leader, Alexei Navalny

(My church email is not working!  Please use iainbaxter.mail@gmail.com to contact me!)Dear Friends,

In last week’s sermon, “God’s Fasting”, I quoted from the Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny.  At the time I didn’t know whether he was a man of faith or not, but I commended his courage in speaking out.  Since then I found the following quotation, which I think is worth reading:

If you want, I’ll talk to you about God and salvation. I’ll turn up the volume of heartbreak to the maximum, so to speak. The fact is that I am a Christian, which usually rather sets me up as an example for constant ridicule in the Anti-Corruption Foundation, because mostly our people are atheists, and I was once quite a militant atheist myself.

But now I am a believer, and that helps me a lot in my activities, because everything becomes much, much easier. I think about things less. There are fewer dilemmas in my life, because there is a book in which, in general, it is more or less clearly written what action to take in every situation. It’s not always easy to follow this book, of course, but I am actually trying. And so, as I said, it’s easier for me, probably, than for many others, to engage in politics…

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.” I’ve always thought that this particular commandment is more or less an instruction to activity. And so, while certainly not really enjoying the place where I am, I have no regrets about coming back, or about what I’m doing. It’s fine, because I did the right thing. On the contrary, I feel a real kind of satisfaction. Because at some difficult moment I did as required by the instructions, and did not betray the commandment. 

Alexei Navalny, 2021 

As Christians, we should be people who hunger and thirst for righteousness.  I pray that each one of us will have the courage to stand up and be counted when the time comes.

The readings this week will be Genesis 17:1-7, 15-16, Romans 4:13-25, and Mark 8:31-38, and we will be singing the hymns The God of Abraham Praise; Men of Faith (Shout to the North); Be Still for the Presence of the Lord; and Onward, Christian People!

A Potluck will follow the service this Sunday.

Ash Wednesday Service – Next Week!

Dear Friends,

Lent is almost upon us, we will celebrate “Pancake Sunday” this week, but on the Sunday before Lent the Gospel reading is always the story of Jesus’ transfiguration.  Before his all to human temptations and death on the cross are remembered, we remember Jesus shining with the glory of God!

What is the Transfiguration about?  It is the revelation of who Jesus really is – the Son of God!  And Moses and Elijah appear to testify about this on behalf of the Law and the Prophets. What about us?  How do we see Jesus?  And are we prepared to reveal who we really are too?  Do we even know who that is?

The readings this week will be 2 Kings 2:1-3, 9-12, 2 Corinthians 4:3-6, and Mark 9:2-9, and we will be singing the hymns Praise to the Lord, the Almighty; Shine, Jesus, Shine; Transfiguration Hymn, and Christ be our Light!  Our choir will be singing Still.

Dear Friends,
This Sunday we will celebrate the Feast of Candlemas, remembering Jesus’ Presentation in the Temple when he was proclaimed as “A light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to your people Israel.”

May the light of Jesus guide us in 2024 as we navigate what can at times be a dark world!  Let us also rejoice in the good times of light and joy such as last week’s wedding of Kaew and Peter.  We have much to be thankful for!  May God be our light!

The readings for this Sunday will be from Malachi 3:1-5, Hebrews 2:14-18, and Luke 2:22-40, and we will be singing the hymns Alleluia, Sing to Jesus; Christ is the World’s Light; Give me Jesus; and Christ, Be Our Light!

Jesus teaches in the Synagogue

(My church email is not working!  Please use iainbaxter.mail@gmail.com to contact me!)

Dear Friends,
Jesus amazed is listeners whenever he taught because he taught with authority!  He practiced what he preached and modelled the Kingdom of God in action. Many of his parables depict the Kingdom of God as a small seed, quietly growing but eventually making a huge impact.  How can we live this kingdom-model?

Our deacon Christa Crawford will be preaching this Sunday and unfolding the teaching of Jesus!

The readings for this Sunday will be from Deuteronomy 18:15-20, 1 Corinthians 8:1-13, and Mark 1:21-28, and we will be singing the hymns Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty; All Heaven Declares; Be Still for the Presence of the Lord; and How Great Thou Art!

Sermon Video – Help Needed



Hopefully coming back soon!

Every week I spend some hours recording, editing, and uploading the video of the Sunday sermon.  If I include the whole service the time spend is proportionally longer.  Very few people are watching the recordings so in 2024 we will only record some of the sermons and services.

Do you have video editing skills – or would you like to learn?  Help is needed!!

If you do watch the recordings each week and would really miss them, then email me on iainbaxter.mail@gmail.com

We had the first meeting of our Confirmation Class with a meal at the vicarage on Monday night. Father Peter led the group and we shared communion together.  Five candidates took part with another three unable to make it!

Ten people joined us at the vicarage on Wednesday to take down the Christmas trees and other festive decorations!  We did it in about two hours!

Thanks to all the great volunteers from Maejo University, and Paddy, Denny, Mark, and Glyn.
