Sermons by Laura Snook
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.

Freedom to stop judging people
There is no shame in following Jesus because he will never let you down. Accepting God’s grace is for everyone. I need him as much as you do. The point of Paul pointing out God’s judgement about sin is not to convict the obvious sinners, but to get us off our high horses of thinking we are better than others. In this series we invite you to take a ’S.O.A.P.’ journal and dig deeper into Romans during the week. SOAP…

When you suffer (When life gets tough)
We often think of suffering as something that happens to stop God’s good plans for us, but the beginning of the book of James paints suffering as part of Gods redemption plan. How can our painful trials produce growth within us and how can trust in God enable us to make it through these difficult times? Why is life so hard at the moment? Why can’t it be easier? In the New Testament book of James we find incredible wisdom…
Sit Beside (Putting your faith into action)
Time is a great gift. We see that Jesus would often stop and have conversations with people. He gave them time in a busy schedule. He went into the homes of those who were cast out and had meals with those whom society wouldn’t touch. This gift of time radically transformed lives. How can we sit beside people today? How do we respond when those we sit beside live in sin? Having faith in Jesus naturally leads to a concern…
Be filled with the Spirit (Breath of God)
What did the New Testament writers mean when they wrote about being filled with the Spirit? Why is this important in the life of a Christian? Does it only happen once? What is speaking in tongues about? And what’s so good about prophecy? The original words used in the Bible for the Holy Spirit are Ruach (Old Testament) and Pneuma (New Testament). These words are also used to describe breath and wind. By exploring the breath, wind and Spirit of…
