A visiting speaker from the US, Karl Peterson shares the second of a three part series from 2 Peter. Here Karl looks at what will happen if we add fruit to our faith, and what will happen if we do not add fruit to our faith. These verses in 2 Peter give us some food…
Mike West completes the ten-part series on the life of David – a man after God’s own heart. Here we learn about God’s grace to us through David’s grace to Mephibosheth.
Dave Hallett introduced some very special people from ECF who share their testimonies of their experience under lockdown. Through it all, our heavenly Father has triumphed, He has not given any of us more than we can handle, and this has come through in all testimonies. May you be blessed and encouraged as you listen…
Bruce helps us appreciate a Biblical understanding of the attribute of God we often would prefer to forget; the wrath of God. He shares some of the key implications of this attribute both in our personal lives and the world at large.
Michael Harber sets the context for our next series in the book of Colossians and begins the series looking at definition of the true gospel and considering the faith, hope and love of these New Testament christians and the example of Epaphrous, a faith servant of Jesus Christ.
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.
Hans gives us a special Fathers day message with a challenge from the parable of the prodigal son and the steps to repentance and renewal.
Johan makes us reflect for a change as we look into the account of Aaron’s two son, priests who experienced Gods wrath because they acted in disobedience. We are challenged to ensure we are not taking advantage of God’s grace but understand that God is holy and will be glorified.
As we continue our series in John, Hans leads us through dark days for Peter when he denies His Lord. He then looks back at Peter’s journey of faith (called, convicted, comforted, challenged, confessed, confident) to the point where Peter reaches the dark moment where his courage fails. Hans challenges us in our generation: if we want to take a stand for Christ, we too may come under the attack of Satan whose desire is for us to lose faith. But the story ends with Peter graciously being brought back by the Lord and being commissioned and showing faithful commitment to his Lord and the church through the rest of his life.
Dave continues with the second half of John chapter 13, contrasting the betrayal of King David with the betrayal that Jesus experienced. He looks at Jesus troubled but loving heart, the heart of Judas: deceitful and covetous and the heart of Peter – willing but weak and the remedies the Bible gives us for a weak heart.
