Sermons on Ephesians

Saved for Good Works

Chris concludes our short series on being saved by looking at the last of the three statements Paul lists in Ephesians 2, we are saved for good works. Salvation begins with grace—God’s unearned gift—received through faith, not earned by works. Yet true faith always bears fruit: Spirit-empowered good works that reveal God’s love, justice, and mercy. We are God’s handiwork, masterpieces in progress, recreated in Christ to participate in His redemptive mission. These good works, prepared in advance, are not religious tasks but living expressions of grace—feeding the hungry, forgiving the undeserving, welcoming the outsider. We are saved not just to be changed, but to become agents of change, embodying the gospel and joining God in the renewal of all things.

James leads the rest of the service looking at encouraging verses placed in scenic places, whilst Lynne and Dave lead our sung worship.

Saved Through Faith

Chris continues our short series on being saved by looking at the second of the three statements Paul lists in Ephesians 2, we are saved through faith. It is by faith that we can grasp onto the grace that God provided through Jesus, but we see that this is something that we must choose to do. To borrow an analogy, God provides the switch but we’re the ones that need to turn on the light!

Andy leads the rest of the service looking at an amazing story of forgiveness, whilst Pete leads our sung worship.

Saved by Grace

This week we begin a short series looking at the theme of being saved. We are saved by grace, through faith, for good works. Today: saved by grace. Chris speaks about the nature of grace, why it is needed, why God gives it as a gift and how we should respond to that gift.

Ant leads the rest of the service as he thinks about the past, present and future whilst Pete leads our sung worship.

The Prayer of the New Testament

Our Mission of the Month for May is Africa Inland Mission (AIM), a cause that is close to our hearts as a church (and a number of our members in particular). Phil Gibson, a representative of AIM joins us this week to speak about his connection to the ministry of AIM. Phil also speaks on Paul’s prayer of thanksgiving to the Ephesian church and looks at how the power of Christ lifts us from our normal lives and gives us a throne in heaven. All we need to do is believe. Strap yourselves in because this talk is a good one!

Susan leads the rest of the service whilst Pete and Nick lead our sung worship.

Spiritual Warfare: Our Weapons

Our series in spiritual warfare continues with Chris this week looking at the way we can protect ourselves and the weapons we have to fight back. Paul gives us the sermon-writer’s perfect illustration in Ephesians, illustrating the armour of God which Chris distills into three main weapons: prayer, worship and scripture.

James leads the rest of the service speaking about Mother’s Day and leading prayers whilst Mike leads our sung worship.

Catching the Wave: The Church

As Christians we are called not to be lone operators but form communities of people, what we now call “church”. Chris concludes our Catching the Wave series by speaking on our contribution to the church and how we can pray for revival in our nation and around the world.
Karen leads the rest of the service with music from Pete and Lynne.
