Religious rituals don't save. Faith in Jesus does.
Colossians 2:16-23 | EV Night | 6/10/2024 | Andrew Hayes
Everyone wants to grow - or we should! But how? Colossians 2:16-23 raises the dangers of seeking growth through human traditions, rules, or mystical practices, which sound helpful but can actually be harmful. In Colossians, Paul shows us that Jesus gives us all we need for salvation and growth, and we see how it is that he grows us. Are you giving yourself to the normal ways that Jesus grows you?
Real Faith
James 2:14-26 | EV Church | 21/04/2024 | Andrew Hayes
James 2 can be a confronting, and even confusing passage. It talks about how to be saved, and it seems to say something different to what we see in John, or Paul. Is salvation by faith, or do we also need to add good works? We see that James and Paul do not contradict each other, but rather they fight against different errors. The truth is we are saved by faith, not what we do. Yet real faith shows itself in what we do. A challenge to consider if our faith is real.

Christmas Eve 9pm: Lasting Joy - Luke 1:67-79
Luke 1:67-79 | EV Night | 24/12/2016 | Jez Reynolds
Jez Reynolds takes us through Zachariah's Song, where Zachariah describes the joy of the promised Lord coming to His people. Jesus was born into our world as the saviour King to save us from our sin. Have you received the lasting joy of salvation offered in Jesus?
God rescues his people (Passover: Blood and Wrath)
Exodus 12:1-14 | EV Church | 18/08/2024 | Grahame Fuller
The 'pass over' described in Exodus is a scale model of the even greater rescue we have in Jesus. Grahame Fuller speaks on the final plague of death in Egypt where the Passover lamb points to Jesus blood sacrifice for our salvation.
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.
