Sermons on 2 Corinthians
One minute after you die – is there life after death? (Geoff Snook)
Is there life after death? In the first part of this series, we’ll explore the three things that happen when our life on this earth is done. The third thing might be the toughest to grasp—we’ll all face judgment, but who does the judging, and what will we be judged on? Your afterlife is dependent on the life you live now.

The exponential provision that comes from generosity (Geoff Snook)
There is an exponential factor to whatever you offer God and offer to each other. 2 Corinthians 9:11, “You will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous.” You can’t control the outcome or what you receive, but this passage promises an exponential provision and supply when you live generously. No matter what you have entrusted to God and to each other, your trust is well placed. God’s economy, the exchange rate of the Kingdom of…
Now there is no condemnation for sin
We still experience the effects of sin and we still struggle with sin. But now because of Jesus we have freedom to live a life controlled by the Spirit rather than being controlled by our sinful nature. And no matter what happens, if we are connected to Christ then nothing can ever separate us from him and his love. You can join us next Sunday in person at 9.30am and 5.30pm.

Hymn of Heaven (Behind the music)
Each song we sing as a church has a foundation in the Bible. In this series we’ll dig deeper into the stories and passages that have shaped a particular song. This series will grow your understanding of the Bible and your desire to worship God through song. This week Laura talked about the song ‘Hymn of Heaven’ by Phil Wickham. You can listen to the song here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjB0mkj0XaM You can join us next Sunday in person at 9.30am and 5.30pm.…
How God can restore your soul
God wants to restores your soul from the brokenness of life. God wants to lead you in the right paths – to righteousness. God wants to bring honour to his name through your life. Psalm 23:3 “He restores my soul. He leads me on the right paths. For his name’s sake.” You can join us next week in-person at 9.30am or 5.30pm, or connect with us any time at https://www.thelakes.church

Overwhelmed
We are reading the New Testament together in 90 days to immerse ourselves in the life and teaching of Jesus and his first followers. As we do this we know God will use our reading to teach us, wake us up, correct, prepare and equip us to do all sorts of amazing things. The NT90 challenge and series runs from January 16 until the Easter weekend. Every Sunday throughout the 90 days we’ll have a message based on the chapters…
Mental health
Why talk about mental health in this series? Not because it’s the same as child abuse or domestic violence, but because it has been censored in the church in a similar way. It hasn’t been OK to struggle with mental health and the conversation has often been censored. We need to raise the level of awareness and conversation about mental health because it is more prevalent than you might think. This message is part of a series called UNCENSORED: Conversations…
