Judges 4:1-10
Judges 4:1-10 | EV Church | 12/05/2013 | Andrew Heard
Andrew unpacks the story of Deborah to demonstrate the surprising nature of the Bible. 1. The way the Bible talks about women. Women in the bible are strong and also wise (see also Prov 31) 2. The way the Bible presents humanity as enslaved by sin. As we shift away from God's word, we spiral into corruption. 3. The sovereignty of God. God in his amazing grace hears the people crys and uses unexpected characters to do unexpected things to achieve His outcomes.
Peninsula EV - 1 Timothy 1:12-20
1 Timothy 1:12-20 | Grace Church Peninsula | 8/05/2016 | Craig Dobbie
Craig Dobbie dives into 1 Timothy 1 to show us three reasons Paul, the infamous hater and hunter of God's people, was shown mercy. Paul's radically changed life shows that the right and inevitable response to God's mercy is worship and service - can you see this fruit in your own life?

1 Timothy 2:1-7 | Saturday EV | 14/05/2016 | Tim Baldwin

Being people of the Word
Being people of the Word | EV Church | 17/04/2016 | Andrew Heard

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.
Judges 17-18
Judges 17:16-6 | EV Church | 30/06/2013 | Craig Dobbie
Craig Dobbie unpacks the story of Micah and the Levite Jonathan. Here the author of Judges changes tact from the story of a chosen rescuer and drills into some of normal characters of the time. We see that the people have lost their way, doing their own thing and are superstitious. Passing the faith down to our generations matters. Spiritual consequences are not obvious is the short term, but are clear in eternity. Pray that you grow in discernment & be good spiritual leaders to your family.
What does Jesus' death have to do with being a Christian?
Matthew 20:17-28 | EV Church | 16/01/2022 | Jez Reynolds
Why did Jesus have to die? For the Christian, the answer is central to our understanding of God, and our lives now and eternally. Jez Reynolds shows us from Matthew how Jesus' death serves us today.

The Journey - Luke 9:18-27
Luke 9:18-27 | EV Church | 3/03/2013 | Craig Dobbie
Craig Dobbie preaching on Luke 9:18-27. Who is this man Jesus and what will it mean to follow him? The disciples were only half right a out who Jesus is. The Jews were expecting several great leaders - prophet, priest, servant king and a conquering messiah. They didn't expect these to be fulfilled in one man - Jesus. What will it mean to follow him? To die to the old selfish life, through daily repentance and to live to bring honour to God. To avoid the temptation of being ashamed of Jesus. Pray that you will remember that Jesus is both the suffering saviour and judge.
