In this sermon, Mark explores Romans 8:31–39 and the restoration of Peter in John 21. When suffering, fear or difficult circumstances make God feel far away, our feelings do not change his love for us. Through Jesus, we can find security, bring our hurts to God and grow in trust—even when the journey is painful. As we become more persuaded of God’s love, we can offer greater peace and grace to those around us.Bible passages: Romans 8:31–39; John 21Sign up to our weekly sermon podcasts’s on the links below.Apple Music: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/waterways-vineyard-talks/id1695886498Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4HVdKZoW0CLxsIDDYOKRDE?si=0oDfuVQxSdWRxg2ZQ2RysA📅 Sunday's🕐 10:30am📍 Emmanuel's Yard, TrowbridgeBring a friend and make some new ones!#SundayService #ChurchFamily #GatheredAroundJesus #Frome

What does it mean to be more than conquerors? In this sermon, we explore Romans 8:31–39 and the powerful assurance that nothing in all creation can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus.Our identity and hope don’t depend on our own strength—they rest on God’s love and what He has done for us. This truth can free us from fear and self-reliance, helping us take steps of faith as we pray for others, share the gospel, and serve.The sermon also shares a story about praying for a stranger with a terrible headache, and reflects on the freedom of self-forgetfulness: turning our focus away from ourselves and trusting God’s grace.Bible references include Romans 8:31–39, Romans 8:1–2, Romans 8:14–15, Romans 8:28, Psalm 44:22, Isaiah 53:7, Revelation 5:6, and 1 Corinthians.Sign up to our weekly sermon podcasts’s on the links below.Apple Music: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/waterways-vineyard-talks/id1695886498Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4HVdKZoW0CLxsIDDYOKRDE?si=0oDfuVQxSdWRxg2ZQ2RysA📅 Sunday's🕐 10:30am📍 Emmanuel's Yard, TrowbridgeBring a friend and make some new ones!#SundayService #ChurchFamily #GatheredAroundJesus

In this message, Meg speaks from Romans 8:18–30 about living with hope in the middle of hardship. The world groans, life can be difficult, and we may not always know what to pray—but the Holy Spirit meets us in our weakness.Meg reflects on adoption, the freedom of being loved by God without having to earn it, and the way shame can keep us from living fully. This sermon invites us to turn our attention from accusation to Jesus, receive his love, and make room for his healing.Scripture: Romans 8:18–30#Romans8 #ChristianSermon #Hope #FreedomInJesus #ShameAndHealing

In this sermon, Sarah explores Romans 8:15–18 and what it means to be adopted into God’s family. Adoption gives us a new identity: we are God’s loved children, not slaves who have to earn approval. Sarah reflects on belonging, intimacy with God, facing suffering with hope, and learning to live with confidence in the Father’s love.You’re invited to consider: Have you received this invitation, and are you living in the fullness of your identity as God’s child?Bible passage: Romans 8:15–18

In this sermon, we explore the honest struggle described in Romans 7 and the hope found in Romans 8: there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.The message reminds us that failure is not our identity. God welcomes us when we turn back to him, and the Holy Spirit gives us strength to keep growing and changing, one step at a time. Even when we feel distant from God, he has not let go.Scripture references: Romans 7:14–25; Romans 8:1–11; Hebrews 13:5.

This message from Romans 5 explores what Jesus offers through faith: we are made right with God and can live with real, lasting peace. The sermon reminds us that even when life is hard, pressure and trouble can become a place where God grows something new in us—endurance, stronger character, and renewed hope. Like a rock transformed by heat and pressure, God can use challenging seasons to shape us into something more beautiful and Christlike.A big encouragement throughout is to bring the “hidden” and worn-out parts of life into Jesus’ presence, to stop trying to fix everything alone, and to listen to the Holy Spirit. The invitation is to receive grace (not earn it), ask for more of God’s presence, and become a community marked by peace—peace that doesn’t depend on circumstances.Sign up to our weekly sermon podcasts’s on the links below.Apple Music: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/waterways-vineyard-talks/id1695886498Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4HVdKZoW0CLxsIDDYOKRDE?si=0oDfuVQxSdWRxg2ZQ2RysA📅 Sunday's🕐 10:30am📍 Emmanuel's Yard, TrowbridgeBring a friend and make some new ones!#SundayService #ChurchFamily #GatheredAroundJesus

In this message from our “Freed to Live” series through Romans, we explore Romans 3:21–24 and the powerful truth that we are justified freely by God’s grace through Jesus Christ.We unpack:What righteousness means (our status and identity in Jesus)What justification means (a legal declaration: forgiven, innocent, wiped clean)Why grace is a gift we receive—not something we earnHow performance, fear, and “panic” can steal our joy and kingdom perspectiveWhy joy matters, and how living as a justified person brings freedom and peaceIf you’ve been feeling weighed down by pressure, shame, or doubt, this sermon is an invitation to return to the gospel: Jesus has done it. You are loved. You are justified. You are free.Sign up to our weekly sermon podcasts’s on the links below.Apple Music: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/waterways-vineyard-talks/id1695886498Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4HVdKZoW0CLxsIDDYOKRDE?si=0oDfuVQxSdWRxg2ZQ2RysA📅 Sunday's🕐 10:30am📍 Emmanuel's Yard, TrowbridgeBring a friend and make some new ones!#SundayService #ChurchFamily #GatheredAroundJesus

Welcome to Waterways Vineyard!In this sermon we begin our new series “Freed to Live” through the book of Romans. Romans 1:16 sets the theme: the gospel is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes. This message explores how the gospel isn’t self-help or good advice—it’s God’s power to transform us.We also look at Romans 3:23 (“all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”) and why every person—Jew and Gentile alike—needs the same rescue. Righteousness isn’t something we achieve; it’s a gift Jesus gives. At the cross, Jesus deals with sin and “clothes” us in His righteousness so we can approach the Father with confidence and live by faith.Key themes:The gospel is God’s power to save (Romans 1:16–17)All have sinned and fall short (Romans 3:23)Righteousness is a gift, received by faithLiving alert to God’s “thin place” moments and joining what He’s doingBible references:Romans 1:16–17, Romans 1:18+, Romans 2:21, Romans 3:23Sign up to our weekly sermon podcasts’s on the links below.Apple Music: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/waterways-vineyard-talks/id1695886498Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4HVdKZoW0CLxsIDDYOKRDE?si=0oDfuVQxSdWRxg2ZQ2RysA📅 Sunday's🕐 10:30am📍 Emmanuel's Yard, TrowbridgeBring a friend and make some new ones!#SundayService #ChurchFamily #GatheredAroundJesus
