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.

Passion Week Devotional - Friday - John 19:16-30
At the height of His agony on the cross, Jesus didn’t focus on Himself—He made sure His mother was cared for. In His final breaths, He demonstrated a love that goes beyond pain, beyond duty. Jesus’ death wasn’t just a tragic injustice—it was the greatest act of sacrificial love in human history. As we reflect on the cross, we’re invited to consider how this love shapes our lives, relationships, and faith.
