Peninsula EV - 1 Timothy 1:1-11
1 Timothy 1:1-11 | Grace Church Peninsula | 1/05/2016 | Andrew Heard
Andrew Heard gets to the heart of 1 Timothy as we see Paul's concern for there to be kingdom-advancing, gospel-centred teaching in God's household, the church. Are you growing in love and sincerity of faith as a person of God's culture, as our own culture drifts and changes?
Judges 2:6-19
Judges 2:6-19 | EV Church | 5/05/2013 | Tim Baldwin
Tim Baldwin provides an introduction to Judges. God's people finally get to inhabit the promised land, to fulfil the promises made to Abraham. And what should have been a great experience for God's chosen people, becomes a series of generations who reject God, are rescued by a Judge, then fall away into worse behaviour. As God calls his people to drive out the other nations - it's worth considering if Holy war is ever ok? 1. It was punishment for their wickedness (see Gen 15) 2. God owns all land and was fulfilling His promise (Deut 7:7) 3. To maintain the covenant relationship (Deut 7:6) What about now this side of Jesus? No - it's not ok to use these verses to justify war, we are in Exodus preparing for the new Kingdom Yes - spiritually we are at war, and need to rage Holy war on sin.
