Series: The Ephesus Church Key Verses: Ephesians 4: 17-32 Andrew unpacks this part of Paul's letter to the Ephesian church on the practical aspects of what being a member of the Church body looks like for us today.

Questions to ponder: - How then should we live as part of the Church? - What should we start doing? - What should we stop doing? New? Have questions? Want prayer? www.inglewoodchurch.org.au

Submarines, Helicopters and the Tardis

Pastor Mark speaks on Ephesians 4:1-16 Series: The Ephesus Church Key Verses: Ephesians 4: 1-16 "If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding...." Pastor Mark unpacks the notion we can't have anything good until we suffer first. Key points; - By Grace, God has already blessed us. We didn't have to do anything. - You are a part of the Body of Christ. This is a Circle of Believers with Gifts that is the Church - People will come and go, but the Church remains. One Body, One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism - God gave us all gifts to contribute as part of a collective and bless the Church (the family of believers) Questions to ponder: - How then should we live as part of the Church - How should we balance the scales of Christian living - What do you do as part of the Church? - Do you do anything? Do you serve? Unless you use the gifting of God as part of the Church, you are denying the blessing God gave to bless the Church. "The Church is not a product to be consumed. It's a movement to be joined!" New? Have questions? Want prayer? www.inglewoodchurch.org.au

Karen Siggins speaks about our tendency towards Confirmation Bias to prove a point. A continuation in our series on the church in Ephesus. Karen is the Interim Director of Ministries at the Baptist Ministry Centre. We all have a tendency to over-read or under-read a situation when we try to prove a point. This is called Confirmation Bias. Karen unpacks this in the context of us making choices about the path we follow and the judgements we make in life. Key points; - The wrong pathway is a dangerous place. Anyone can make a wrong choice. - God and the devil are not virtual equals wrestling over humanity. - The devil does not represent a threat to God’s purposes. - The fear, the devil can ‘make us’ do stuff, is NOT biblical. You and I have been lured by the power of evil, which clearly exists. - When God gets angry its because of His love. - God is NOT angry with you. He is angry with evil. - For we are God’s masterpiece. Ephesians 2:10 - The Holy Spirit empowers in us the gift of Grace. - We should be like Jesus and lean in with Grace. Questions to ponder; - What pathway are you on? - Where might God be leading you to join him in deploying Grace - internally and externally? New? Have questions?
