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?

Luke 22:39-53
Luke 22:39-53 | EV Church | 1/03/2015 | Tim Baldwin
Tim Baldwin explains the importance of prayer in times of suffering, advising us to anticipate hardships and decide in advance how you will respond and be someone who prays that you will not fall into temptation to walk away from Jesus. Is your faith just one of the many things you are balancing in life, or is your faith the most important area of you life, an area that requires investment in prayer as a deterrent for temptation, and as a core element of perseverance and maturity?
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.

Romans 6:1-14
Romans 6:1-144 | EV Church | 21/07/2013 | Andrew Heard
Romans 6 answers the question, if we are saved by grace, do we really need to change at all? Christianity is all about change. The early chapters of Romans highlight the big issues of life, such as God's judgement of sin. Romans describes Two Realms * Adam - Sin, Death, Law, Condemnation, Old * Jesus/God - Life, Freedom, Righteousness, New Moving from Adam's realm to God's realm isn't possible by works, but by faith (Rom 5:1) Baptism is being incorporated into something, or identified with. Faith unites us with Christ and baptises us as a Christian. Died to Adam's realm in order that we can live a new life in God's realm. Free from being a slave to sin, and given power to live in God's realm. Grow and develop a discontent with the old self, whilst grow in contentment of the new life Discipline yourself to not let sin reign
