Sermon Notes: The Woes of Religion(Luke 11:37 - 12:12)
The Woes of Outward Religion (37-52)
Problem: Clean on the outside, dirty on the inside - hypocrisy!
- Woe 1: Tithing herbs, neglecting justice and love
- Woe 2: Prime positions, wanting to be seen
- Woe 3: Making others impure without warning
- Woe 4: Burdening people, not easing burdens
- Woe 5: Backing the attacking of God’s spokesmen
- Woe 6: Blocking people from coming to God
- Q: Are we aware of the signs of outward, people pleasing religion in our lives?
The Answer to Outward Religion (1-12)
Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees - their hypocrisy
- Integrity - be ready for secrets to not stay secret
- Don’t fear people - fear God who loves you, so don’t be afraid!
- Don’t be ashamed of being Christ’s person
- Q: How will knowing God help us to combat hypocrisy in our lives?

Hiroshima Remembrance

Hi folks Today, 6th August 2025, is the 80th anniversary since the United States of America dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Shortly afterwards, they dropped a similar device on another Japanese city of Nagasaki. Between the two events, over 200,000 people died, and Japan surrendered - ending the Second World War. The ripples from these two horrific events are still felt today, and the lessons from them are more relevant in today's world than ever before! Each day we hear about the tensions around the world regarding nations developing nuclear weapons, threatening to release havoc upon the world. Although the weapons are often referred to as deterants, the danger is that the whole world could be effectively ended within minutes if someone decided to release their particular weapon upon an enemy state! I pray that today reminds the world leaders about the absolute devastation that these weapons bring. They do not distinguish between combatants or civilians. ...

August Hymns and Readings

 Hi folks Here's the next list for the readings, readers and hymns for our services throughout August. There are five Sundays this month, and in our normal pattern, our fifth Sunday will be a Cafe Church service in the Parish Hall.

Thank you to everyone who has volunteered to read each month, and if you'd like to join the list, please let the church wardens or the Rector know. If we need to do so, both David and the Rector are more than happy to fill in for any given reading!
