Sermons From Pakenham Lakeside Church

In John 4, Jesus speaks with a Samaritan woman at Jacob's well. She had been practicing social distancing and self isolation - not because of disease but because of shame. But Jesus broke through all the barriers. She came thirsty for physical water - and drank from the source of living water, Jesus himself. Through this she overflowed with living water for others too. This sermon was preached at the baptism service of two adults, Barry and Charlotte. Through their baptism - and we through ours - they are now filled to overflowing with the living water, the Holy Spirit, flowing from them (and from us) to give life to a thirsty world. This sermon was preached at Pakenham Lakeside Church on Sunday 22nd March, 2020, during the first weeks of the global Covid-19 pandemic.
