Chris Johnson is a Christian and a Scientist. In this talk he seeks to encourage scientists to examine the evidence for Christian faith and Christians to acknowledge science as a means of discovering more about God’s creation.
Chris seeks to apply what we have learnt during our recent series on the Holy Spirit to Burwell Baptist Church. He highlights two potential errors (Dispensationalism and Emotionalism) before outlining the orderly worship which the Apostle Paul commends. Chris also answers questions including “what is the point of speaking in tongues?”
Lesley Martin, preaching on Romans 8 vs 1-17, considers how the Holy Spirit has a role in us as individuals.
As church is the gathering of people saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit must be at the heart of every healthy church. Chris reviews the evidences of the Spirit’s presence in the New Testament church and outlines the marks of a Spirit-filled church today. We then seek to keep in step with the Spirit by seeking His gifts of healing.
Jesus’ birth, teaching, power, sacrificial death and resurrection were all the result of the work of the Spirit. Jesus told the disciples that because He lived with them the Spirit lived with them and would one day live in them. Having reflected on what the life and teaching of Jesus reveal about Holy Spirit, Chris outlines how we are seeking to respond as a church.
We begin our new series on the person and work of the Holy Spirit by tracing the work of Holy Spirit through history from Genesis to Revelation. Chris highlights the Spirit’s role in contending with humanity and bringing order out of chaos. He concludes with a call accept the free gift of the water of life which is available to all who call on the name of the LORD.
Following on from our away day, Richard Lewis preaches on Ephesians Chapter 4 vs 7-13 and the ministry gifts that God gives to build the Church.
God has made every one of us unique yet we are more like some people and less like others. Using a biblical approach Chris applies Paul’s teaching in Romans 12 to help us to think of ourselves with sober judgment in accordance with the faith God has given us. He then goes on to encourage us to exercise our gifts according to the grace given to each of us.
Jonathan Burroughs leads us through a study in the life of Rehoboam, looking at family history and the relationship between God and David, Solomon and Rehoboam. He challenges us to examine our relationship with God and to have more of a true heart-relationship with him just as David did.
In this harvest service, Stefan Kaye from Tearfund brings to our attention the plight of the people of Chad.
