Karl Peterson looks at 2 Peter 3:14-18 in the three-part series from Peter.

David reminds us in his sermon today, why the Easter message is just as relevant in our time of crisis in the world as it has been through the ages as he looks at the ultimate act of love, the ultimate words of forgiveness and the ultimate message of hope.
Paul compares the four things that we are judged by in out modern culture to those we should aspire after as followers as Christ.

Dave brings to an end the short series on evangelism; That they might be saved.

Bruce encourages us in two key spheres of our christian walk, “standing firm” and “holding fast” as we look at 2 Thessalonians 2.

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.

He looks at how this impacts us both daily, in the here and now and in the future, for eternity.
Paul continues the series on Living in the Light of the end Times, considering the Day of the Lord and what it isn’t. Paul encourages us in our walk of faith, hope and love in light of the wrath that is to come for those who have not accepted Christ as Lord and Saviour.
