2 Corinthians 10:1-18 | EV Night | 28/05/2023 | Todd Parry-Jones
How can we recognise God's power? How do we know when God is at work? We learn from 2 Corinthians 10 that it is possible to look in the wrong places and make the wrong judgements about God's workings in the world. Todd Parry-jones shows us how Paul urges the Corinthians to see God working in the proclamation of gospel truth!

Colossians 2:16-23 | EV Church | 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?

Romans 6:15-23
Romans 6:15-23 | EV Church | 28/07/2013 | Tim Baldwin
Christ died to sin, so His death is ours. If we are joined with Jesus then His resurrection is ours. Rom 6:15 Paul asks "If Gods grace is so powerful to forgive any sin, then why does it matter whether we change?" You are a slave to whatever you obey. God has laid claim to us, so it's natural to want to obey & desire God with thanksgiving - rejoicing to be a 'slave of God' Just because we have experience of sitting under flawed authority, it shouldn't cause us to assume that getting out from under authority is freedom. We were designed to sit under authority and true freedom comes from sitting under good authority. Being united with Christ, lets us see becoming slaves of God being good and living in true freedom. We have become free to serve God in whatever circumstances we are faced with, free to share the gospel, caring for people's spiritual needs, free to be content in Christ.
