Rupert Ward - The struggle is real: Being fully human in a broken world – How the Spirit brings life in unexpected places (24th May)
About this episode
Rupert Ward discusses how the Spirit brings life in unexpected places during difficult times.
The weekly message from Community Church Edinburgh. This talk is from Sunday, 24th May 2026. The natural world is filled with examples of life emerging in the most unpromising of circumstances. What if this mirrors how God acts in our broken world? This sermon, on Pentecost Sunday, explores the work of the spirit bringing life in the midst of the difficult, painful, dry seasons of our life, often in quiet ways like a breath, and occasionally in more dramatic ways like wind or fire.
