Nite Ev Sermons

True Christianity enables us to better fulfill our God intended role within the family unit. As Andrew Heard speaks on 1 Timothy 5 he helps us to recognise how we can be bound by cultural influence and in turn miss what truly pleases God.

Who influences you? And who should have influence in a church? 1 Timothy 3 says that God cares about the health of his church. So what matters most about leaders in church is their godly character.

The Bible presents a shape to our lives together as men and women that honours the differences and reflects God's intent in his creation. Andrew Heard takes us back into the Genesis account that makes sense of how men and women are to relate in the church.

1 Timothy 2 contains some of the most unpopular teaching on the sexes in our culture. Jez Reynolds takes us deep into the Bible's thinking on equality and freedom that is foundational to understand the beautiful shape of our lives together as men and women.

What kind of Christian do you want to be when your faith is challenged? Dan Ford speaks from 1 Timothy 1 on how we may have the courage and conviction to hold firm to Jesus long term.

The book of 1 Timothy is Paul's passionate reminder to the Ephesians about what is truly important in life. Andrew Heard begins this series reminding us that the gospel truth is what matters when lives are at stake for eternity.

How do we experience the presence of God? Grahame Fuller takes us through the whole Bible, where we see how God's presence has been experienced by his people, and is ultimately found in Jesus.

James 2 can be a confronting, and even confusing passage. It talks about how to be saved, and it seems to say something different to what we see in John, or Paul. Is salvation by faith, or do we also need to add good works? We see that James and Paul do not contradict each other, but rather they fight against different errors. The truth is we are saved by faith, not what we do. Yet real faith shows itself in what we do. A challenge to consider if our faith is real.

As the book of John concludes there is much to puzzle over. Jez Reynolds speaks on the disciples ordinary context as they wait, contrasted with the extraordinary salvation Jesus brings and the impact this should have on how we live as we wait.

Jesus says that those who believe without seeing are blessed. But why? Dan Ford takes us through Jesus' encounter with Thomas, helping us see why.

The wonder of the message of Easter, of the Bible, is that Jesus is risen! Jez Reynolds shows us the evidence for the resurrection and how this brings us into relationship with God.

Jesus death is the most important event in human history, with the greatest consequence for us. Andrew Heard shows us the disciple John as he looks back on the death of Jesus and pieces together God's plan of salvation purposed from the beginning.

Our culture is all about personal truth. Andrew Heard takes us through the account of Jesus and Pilate, where Jesus claims he is The Truth and a King who's kingdom is not of this world, it is to come.

"Follow your heart" is the message we hear constantly. But Peter's denial of Jesus teaches us a different message. Walking through John 18:15-32, Dan Ford helps us consider the problem of our hearts, and how Jesus is the solution.

The gospel of John gives us a historical eyewitness account of Jesus' arrest in the Garden. Jez Reynolds brings us deeper into the narrative where we see Jesus' strength as he goes to drink the cup of God's wrath.

In our second week in Jesus' amazing prayer, the night before he died, we see what he prays for his people. Andrew Hayes takes us through: who are his people? What does he pray for? And why? We hear Jesus' heart for his people to be one with each other and with him forever.

To see the slides click -> https://evchurch.info/20240225-slides What are your big concerns? Jesus' deep and amazing prayer in John 17 reveals his big concerns, and who he is as the Triune God.

What does it mean to be a spirit filled Christian? Andrew Heard encourages us from John 16 to be a spiritual church - one that loves God, desires his Word, and grows in obedience to him.

What is it like to follow Jesus...it's often hard! Andrew Heard shares on Jesus' words to the disciples, as a comfort and forewarning of opposition as we follow His teaching.
