'As for you, you were dead...deserving of wrath' Ephesians 2 doesn't have the most cheery of openings - the apostle Paul pulling no punches in his assessment of humanity. But the book does contain arguably the most important and uplifting message of all time. Pastor Dave Niblock takes us through it in this second installment of our study of Ephesians.

Scriptures:

Ephesians 2:1-10

James 1:13-15

A gift from God? Continuing our relationship series, Luke, David and Precious discuss singleness.

Heart, Soul, Future, Identity... the book of Ephesians has a lot to tell us about who we are, and who we are to be. Pastors Stu Innes and Tyrone Reid tag team in this message giving an overview of Paul's letter to the Ephesians and setting the scene for this series.

How can we be family if we’re not friends? Tash, Tyrone, Precious, Katherine and the two Dans from our YA community get together to talk all things friendship.

If family on earth lasts for a moment, but a spiritual family lasts for eternity, how does that affect us in the church, right here, right now? How do we disagree without it affecting unity?
