Mark 6:30-44
Mark 6:30-44 | EV Church | 20/03/2016 | Craig Dobbie
'Moral truth' is often a casualty in our world today and if like Herod we practice ignoring right from wrong we destroy our consciences so that we can't respond rightly to Jesus. For the non Christian this means we should repent now, without delay. For the Christian it means we should resist the temptation to back down from telling the truth and living by the truth.

A Year of God's Word
1 Peter 1:23-2:3 | EV Night | 29/12/2024 | Andrew Hayes
A new year! What are your aims and hopes? Andrew Hayes shows us what God says about his word in the book of Isaiah, and challenges us to make 2025 a year of God's word. Be fuelled for a year of sharing it and reading it by these 4 truths: 1. The tragedy of Isaiah's day: God's Word is neglected (Isaiah 5:24) 2. Hope for the last days: nations streaming to hear God's word (Isaiah 2:2-3) 3. Encouragement in the waiting days: God's word is unfailingly reliable (Isaiah 40:8) and powerful (Isaiah 50:10-11) 4. The challenge for us today: be people who tremble at God's word (Isaiah 66:2) Sermon Slides https://evchurch.info/20241230-slides
2 Timothy 3:10-17
2 Timothy 3:10-17 | EV Church | 28/10/2012 | Andrew Heard
God's overarching plan for us is to become more Christ-like. There are also examples of 'Conscious-guidance' in the Bible. Eg Cornelius vision from an Angel (Acts 10). God is supernatural and has and does guide via 'conscious guidance'. Should we expect this ? Was - Ought distinction. Matt 17:24 Jesus sends Peter to catch a fish who has a coin in its mouth. This miracle is unique and we don't conclude that the fish is some divine guidance for us on paying taxes today because the rest of the bible provides guidance principles on taxes. God's 'conscious guidance' examples are listed in the Bible primarily to demonstrate the fulfillment of His plan to bring all the nations together under Christ to bring glory to God.
