St Albans Baptist Church - Sunday Messages

A planet-wide flood destroying all life on earth except for a selection of people and animals on a huge lifeboat. Is this really what the Bible describes and is there any evidence this occurred? Discover what the Bible really says about this important question and the evidence supporting it.

God has gifted all of us with special abilities to build his kingdom, but the environment (Church) we relate together in is actually vulnerable & needs special protection so his community doesn't blow apart. Paul gets down to the nitty gritty.

Yes that’s his name. He is a boxer working with youth in Naenae. He’s an evangelist too!! An exciting entertaining day. Bring unsaved friends!

Join us on Sunday morning as Seb unpacks these great passages of scripture; Luke 5:1-11 & John 21:1-8.

Problems are too painful just to waste. They can feel like being in a desert. There are things we can do to maximise our growth opportunities problems present. Come and hear some of the lessons one of our Bible hero’s learned as he navigated out of his desert.⁠

Yes we live normal lives. Not everything goes as we hope. Sometimes there is trouble. Christianity can sometimes be pitched that everything should always go perfectly. That's called triumphalism. Instead we know what walking through the valley of the shadow of death feels like, as well as what it's like to be anointed with oil and have our cup run over, and play in green pastures.

God is good at tearing down walls between people. Jesus tore down the biggest one possible. No race is more special than another. Sometimes people say unkind things about others. God calls it sin. There is a better road. ⁠

As a Christian the image I should see when I look in the mirror is SAVED. So many Christians are still trying to earn our status with God rather than living from that place. Make sure you are watching online to be challenged and inspired!

What has a 28 year old, single, childless woman got to say about parenting?? Tune in with Anna Button to find out!

Covid19 has taken many out of our routines, and some out of our regular work or careers. People often assess themselves by what we do yet God doesn't use that grid. He calls us Sons or Daughters, adopted, loved, favoured. As we look at going back to level 3 then 2 then 1, will we use God's grid or the old one, to tell us who we are?

Are we positioning ourselves in the right camp for achieving our best future post lock down? God’s purposes and promises for us aren’t limited because of Covid-19 circumstances.

We can think that the world is falling apart, trouble every where. However there has always been trouble and always will be. It’s a journey for all of us but God desires to show us how to live above anxiety and fear. His advice is count it all joy!

To a Jewish person, for a man to claim to be God...a God whose name alone was so sacred they couldn't even say it...was so beyond belief, it would have been akin to someone being a lunatic. Yet they turned to follow him after his death in such numbers that something must have convinced them beyond any doubt. RESURRECTION.

We live in a strange season when fear lurks around us daily. Overseas particularly, people are dying, and close at hand we stand 2 meters apart at the supermarket. The Golgotha execution was pointed to by the passover in Egypt, where the Israeli people were protected from the angel of death. Good Friday is the story we need to remember and celebrate!

Join us this Sunday with Anna and Katie Button for a raw conversation about where God is in seasons of grief.

Robert & Denise Norriss and Steven & Ruby Collins will be talking about fulfilling God’s call on your life through what you do and experiencing His favour increase around you while not letting disappointments get you down

Would you like a deeper more intimate relationship with God? Do you long to hear His voice? Come along this Sunday and take it to the next level!

Food is a well known secret to peoples hearts. Its not that hard to deepen our expressions of love.... and enjoy the journey on the way!

Do you wish to be used more by God? Is the normal and humdrum driving you crazy? Would you like more than just a repeat of 'last year' this year? Perhaps its time to pray a little more dangerously! Come and listen.... you will be inspired.
