Luke 8:40-55 

Luke 8:40-55 | EV Church | 24/02/2013 | Craig Dobbie

Is there a God and does he care? Nature can over power us, and when we are threatened by sickness & death we are more inclined to call out to God. Who do you trust in a broken world. Jairus and the woman both put their trust in Jesus (small as it is) and Jesus responds in compassion. - True faith rests on knowledge and is meant to grow. - True faith leads to a person throwing themselves on Jesus completely. - People who came to test Jesus went away trapped and confused, but those who come to him on their knees find salvation Yes there is a God and Jesus is the consistent character to look to, to find Him.

Judges 19-21 

Judges 19:1-2125 | EV Church | 7/07/2013 | Andrew Hayes

Andrew Hayes unpacks the last 3 chapters of Judges. In those days Israel had no king, and everyone did as they saw fit. These chapters demonstrate the depravity of humanity proving that we are not basically good people. Judges starts with the death of Joshua, and Israel's disobedience in failing to conquer their promised land and ends with Israel in civil war against Benjamin, in desparate need of a king! When you are a slave to evil forces the arrival of a king is such good news. Jesus is the King that unlike human leaders provides salvation, rescuing us from sin.
