Allan Bartlam | Ephesians 4:11-16 | Colossians 2:6-7
Speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.
So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
As humans, we start life as babies and grow up through childhood and become adults more or less automatically. As Allan explains, spiritual growth as Christians takes a bit more effort. He describes some of the steps we can take to halp make it happen, even as God works within us as we remain rooted in Christ.
The recording begins with the reading from Pat Clayton.
An edited video recording of the Sunday service can be viewed on YouTube. This includes the photos Allan refers to in his talk.
Why will God not answer my question?
Is God for me or against me?
Among the nations
Do we really long for God?
Who that is innocent has ever perished?
Seeing things rightly
Responding with everything
Is there hope after death?
The coming King
Go, sell everything
Come like a child
Is there hope in a pandemic?
Go, I am sending you
