Liberty or licence? – Mike Howell – Sunday evening 11th October 2009

Sat, 24 Oct 2009 15:22:34 GMT

Our relationship with Christ liberates us, but also brings an obligation to serve our Master. We are free to do many things, but we need to consider others. Our only standard of judging others should be God's Word and standard, not our own. Our lives need to be consistent, putting others' needs first.

Sat, 24 Oct 2009 14:14:32 GMT

Stephen is one of several Biblical characters who react with grace when under pressure, showing to those around the God whom they serve. Like that persecution which scattered the early Church, God allows things in our lives which 'shake the nest' in which we have become comfortable. God wants us to grow and live out our faith, to guide others to Him.
