We All Have Too Much of This: Sin - Audio
28/08/2016 Duración: 39minThe context and continued relevance of Paul's words on homosexuality are a topic of much debate. This subject is not all that Paul is talking about here, however. In this message, Pastor Bob addresses homosexuality and helps us look at Paul's broader message.

We All Have Enough of This: Knowledge - Audio
23/08/2016 Duración: 32minWe seem to be born with it--the notion of God’s existence. Perhaps this is why the Bible assumes or declares the existence of God rather than spilling ink to prove it, then continues to teach us how to respond to that reality. Certainly we could all use more knowledge of God but as for knowledge essential for accountability, we have enough. The challenge is love and obedience.

A Life Hidden in Christ - Audio
14/08/2016 Duración: 35minPaul is in prison and the end of his life is near. In the midst of these circumstances he writes some powerful words: “For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” That is a remarkable perspective on life but not an easy one to embrace. Let’s consider together what it means to adopt that point of view and how it might transform our lives.
-
The Rest of the Story - Audio
07/08/2016 Duración: 34minPaul's arrest in Jerusalem began a period of imprisonment that lasted about 5 years. What can we take from Paul's view of God in this situation to help us the next time we find our life in pieces?

Behind a Frowning Providence - Audio
25/07/2016 Duración: 42minIn Acts 18:1-17, a lot of people feel God's "frowning providence." They face suffering, sometimes for Christ's sake; other times they're just caught up in evil that is being perpetrated in general. But, in this chapter we see God's purposes ripening as he sovereignly works through their distress to build his kingdom.

Theology Crafted in Community - Audio
03/07/2016 Duración: 52minTheology is a quest for knowledge about God and a parallel inquiry concerning how to follow God. Theology is not boring ideas; it is life in action. Theology is developed in a community with real-life situations full of human conflict, passion, and conviction. This passage is an example of theology which is shaped in conflict, guided by the Spirit, and crafted in community. This is a story that continues to happen today.

No Wasted Time - Audio
26/06/2016 Duración: 27minPaul's story comes at us fast in the book of Acts--he’s miraculously converted on the road to Damascus in Chapter 9; two pages later he’s being sent by the Antioch church on his first missionary journey to take the gospel to the Gentiles. In this message, we'll reflect on God's work in forming Paul for his missionary calling and consider together how we might trust God in faith as we seek to serve His mission in our own lives.
-
Surprised by God - Audio
20/06/2016 Duración: 39minThe believers in the early church had seen numerous miracles performed following Jesus’ death. It seems that they shouldn’t have been surprised by another, but they were. Some suggest that this indicates a lack of faith, but is that the best interpretation of the story? Maybe they were surprised by the grace of God because they did not possess a sense of entitlement. Maybe to them, God’s grace was new every morning.

The Sending Church - Audio
12/06/2016 Duración: 41minThe church at Antioch was a sending church, sending Barnabas and Saul off to missionary work. After all, the church is not for itself; it's for the world. God uses this human, and also eternal, institution to accomplish his eternal purposes.
-
God's Creative Purposes - Audio
05/06/2016 Duración: 35minWhen we look back in hindsight at the promises of God in the Old Testament, we identify the mission of God in Jesus Christ. God’s mission of redemption was always for the whole world, but that wasn’t always obvious to everyone. This week we'll look at another development in the creative mission of God, which is frequently and dramatically played out in the Book of Acts.
-
ExtraOrdinary - Audio
29/05/2016 Duración: 34minWe long to find meaning and significance in being part of something greater than ourselves. What if participating in the ordinary is something extraordinary?
-
The Invincibility of the Church - Audio
22/05/2016 Duración: 36minThe church of Jesus Christ cannot be stopped or destroyed; the more it is suppressed, the more it grows. This phenomenon has always baffled its enemies. Jesus put it this way, “The gates of hell will not prevail against it.” The apostle Paul said, “If God is for us who can be against us?” What an honor to be associated with the only human institution that is also eternal.
-
The Community of Christ - Audio
15/05/2016 Duración: 43minIn the Book of Acts, the community of Jesus Christ started from nearly nothing and grew so fast that it seems the Apostles were always scrambling to keep up. Signs and wonders, organizational challenges and martyrdom – that’s a lot to handle. Whenever the Spirit of God is at work there is always action. The Apostles certainly could not have predicted these dramatic developments but with God’s help they were up to the task.
-
Trusting God Completely - Audio
08/05/2016 Duración: 34minWhen the early followers of Jesus shared their faith it often produced persecution, but in spite of the circumstances their attitude was remarkable: "No matter what happens, we will trust you." This Sunday we look at Acts 4:23-31 to consider how their remarkable faith might be implemented in our lives.
-
Memories for Tomorrow - Audio
01/05/2016 Duración: 26minECC's founding pastor returned today to give the message on our 40th anniversary! He encouraged us to remember God’s faithfulness in the past and to embrace those memories that will enrich our future.
-
A Divine Human Synthesis - Audio
24/04/2016 Duración: 33minThey were the same characters--the ones who didn’t understand, who deserted Jesus at the cross...but now things had changed. Though the disciples possessed the same faults and failures from the past, God decided to use them in a mighty way. Is it still true today that God can use us to accomplish his purposes, not because of us but in spite of us? I hope so, don’t you?
