It’s Time to Leave the Safety of the Harbour
About this talk
Scripture: Ephesians 4
A ship in the harbour is safe, but that’s not what ships are built for!
Guy will be looking at Eph 4 and the local church. Using the image of a ship to underline the importance of the church being all she is called to be by her saviour and master Jesus Christ.
We look at:
Helping the church to be a praying church
Helping the church to embrace Commission
Helping the church to be seeing people saved
Being a family together of mums, dads, uncles, children

A good news message looking at 3 areas that were written by God for us to help us understand our lives and find a future full of hope in him.
From mountaintop experience to ground level chaos. Through the life of Jesus and His disciples, we explore what we are made for and what we are called to.
A ship in the harbour is safe, but that’s not what ships are built for! The church being all she is called to be.
The church is intended to be a community, a family, where lonely people can find a place to belong. So why are lonely people not flocking to churches to find family and a place to belong?
We look at what it means to belong in a Christian community. The book of Acts tells us about the early Christian church, how the believers were in community with each other, and what held them together after Jesus ascended to heaven.
The gospel is not just the starting message of the Christian faith, though; it is the whole message. All the blessings that come to us are the result of what God has done for us in Jesus Christ.
“Who are we?” and “where is our identity?” We look at the baptism of Jesus to see how He identifies with us and then how we can identify with Him.
As Covid allows us to "UNLOCK!" we want to be able to build community. We also hope to Unlock something of our giving for kingdom advance.
What does God’s love of justice mean in practice in our everyday lives. How do we promote justice and fight injustice?
Right now we’re in the middle of a third Lockdown. So what encouragement would God bring us in this time of waiting?
The Bible frequently encourages us to remember that God is faithful. This unshakable truth serves as an anchor for faith through the stormy seas of life.
An invitation to the sceptical, searching and hurting to explore the claims of Christianity, and a fantastic talk for anyone who might be interested in finding out more about the Christian faith.
