Hope: Hope for Justice - Ben Cooley. Ben Cooley, founder of Hope for Justice was speaking at Woodlands. Hope for Justice is an organisation that not only helps the victims of people trafficking, but seeks to bring the perpetrators to justice. Biblically, God is a God of Justice as well as mercy and is the one to whom all must give account. Yet Christians are often shy about getting involved in justice issues. Download Discussion notes


Hope: Hope for the hurting - Philip Jinadu. Ruth 1:20-21. Faith hope and love last forever. But hope is hard to sustain in times of waiting and pain. Ruth is a beautiful story of restoration of hope to a family and a mother who have lost hope. The final outcome of the story prepares the way for the story of King David, which in turn leads to Jesus the son of David where we can all find hope for our future. Download Discussion notes

Amazing Grace: Grace for Suffering - Hannah Mitchell

February 25th 2018. Amazing Grace: Grace for suffering: 2 Corinthians 12:9. ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness’. This is what the Lord said to Paul when Paul pleaded for his ‘thorn in the flesh’ to be taken away. How do we handle the idea of a God of Love giving us grace for suffering rather than removing it?

Amazing Grace: Grace for Sin - David Mitchell

February 18th 2018. Amazing Grace: Grace for Sin. Romans 5:15-21. We sing the hymn, but we may not often reflect on how amazing Grace is. The quality of grace should never become over familiar, rather it should continue to surprise us if we have a realistic understanding of how much we need it! And if we have received grace we should become a ‘gracious’ people. (By the way, one of my personal niggles is the way commonly these days people confuse the word gracious with graceful. I try to be gracious but I’m too clumsy to be graceful!). Download Discussion notes
