Johan is an Associate Pastor at ECF and recently joined the church after completing his theology degree at Bibile Institute. He is engaged to Sinead and they will get married later this year.
Johan looks at Psalm 43 – Who are we hoping in and what are we hoping for?
Session 2: Johan talks about how we must grow. His two points are: Growth is found in Jesus (John 15:5; Ephesians 3:8; Acts 4:12; Philippians 2:9-11; Colossians 2:2, 3); and growth is found in coming back to Jesus again and again (Hebrews 12:1-2; Ephesians 3:18-19). He closed the camp off with 2 Peter 3:18 –…
With the busyness of life, we forget the most important aspect – growth in Christ. Session 1: Johan talks about why we must grow in Christ. Two points he makes here is that growth is not automatic and growth is not optional. Scripture reference is 2 Peter 1:3-11.
Johan looks at Philippians 3:8-4:1. Heavenly citizenship outweighs our earthly citizenship. We need to look upward and forward but not down. Jesus is our living passport to this citizenship.
Johan continues our series in Living the Light of the End Times with this sermon on how Paul addresses two issues that unsettled the Thessalonian church and how these relate to the church today: False teaching and the justice against those who persecute christians. He looks at how standing by the truth of the scriptures is critical to securing our unsettled hearts.
Johan closes the series on 1 Thes in this, his final message with us here at ECF. Johan looks at how we can have absolute security and peace in the love of God based on the faithful work of our Lord Jesus Christ. He looks at how this impacts us both daily, in the here and now and in the future, for eternity.
Johan continues the series in considering Living in Light of the End time with a call to live a sanctified life given our future with the Lord.
In his message, Johan calls on us to look to fellow believers for our comfort and hope, rather than to those who do not share our faith in Christ and our hope in his return.
Johan gives us the context of the church that started in 3 weeks as we start a series considering how we should live in light of the end times. Johan encourages us to live in faith, love and hope and explains why hope was such a fundamental characteristic of this particular New Testament church
