Good Work: the message

 


Why is it so important for us to try and comprehend how little we have to do in order to have our lives transformed by God? It is important in order that we can truly live a full and rich life that pleases God. On Sunday I was privileged to give the second talk in a series of 6 based on the New Testament letter to the Ephesians and the talk called “Good Work” was based on chapter 2.

Starting with two key characters, Apostle Paul and the reformer Martin Luther I explain why God’s work is the source and catalyst of any good work we undertake.

Join with the congregation of newlifers at The House in Scunthorpe as we learn how to have a new perspective on living a life full of good work.

Big Church

 

\

Hi and thanks for visiting therevster.com.

For the third and final part of a trilogy of talks I spend a little time explaining just a couple of aspects of what it means to be a truly big church – big in every way. This talk follows on from the talks “Big God” and “Big People”, both available to listen to from this site.

To be a big church we must be a church which is valuable to God and invaluable to the community. Committed to becoming a church that Jesus celebrates not tolerates. Rejoice and revel in the fact that God doesn’t need us but chose us – we are truly wanted.

We should also be a church which finds it releasing to celebrate and even promote its own flavour whilst at the same time celebrating and encouraging other expressions of church. This is truly enjoying God’s desire for variety and diversity.

Enjoy as you join worshippers gathered on a Sunday morning at The House, the home of New Life in Scunthorpe, England
