Living as God's Family We are God's Children! Epping Forest Community Church A Relational Community

A Relational Community That we may share God's love & truth with others. Welcoming everyone, come as you are, come home, come with us; let’s do each other good! Creating a church which is like a family, loving one another, helping one another and having fun. Intentionally developing covenant relationships with the right people: running partners, mentors and friends. Teaching and inspiring one another. Correcting and being accountable to one another. Praying for and encouraging one another.

A Relational Community That we may share God's love & truth with others. Being generous with all of our resources, (time, money, possessions), towards one another. In everything that EFCC does, we will serve willingly together with great attitudes – Teamwork makes the dream work! Sharing our testimony with others. Telling people our story and His story, telling everyone we can about the good news of Jesus. Making and deepening relational links with other Churches locally, nationally & internationally – we love the church! Together with other churches, we are building God’s Kingdom, not our own empire.

Being led by the Spirit helps us to live well in God’s family stops us living well in God’s family Being led by the flesh

There is always a battle There is always a choice Galatians 5 v So, I advise you to live according to your new life in the Holy Spirit. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. 17 The old sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, and your choices are never free from this conflict.

Relational Community works really well when the Holy Spirit is leading us Romans 12 Galatians 5+6 Ephesians 4+5 Philippians 2 Colossians 3

Before and after Jesus as the Bible explains it.. Old life – Led by the flesh  Sinful nature  Old evil nature  Compulsions of selfishness  A life shaped by things and feelings  Erratic compulsions New life in Christ – Led by the Spirit  Follow the Spirit  Let the Spirit direct and control you  A life animated and motivated by the Spirit  A life shaped by God  A life renewed on the inside that works its way into your conduct Always a choice

Colossians description Taking off a filthy set of ill fitting clothes Putting on a new wardrobe custom made by the creator So now we have our custom made wardrobe...

Always a choice The flesh produces - characteristics/behaviours/patterns (Works of the flesh) The Holy Spirit produces - characteristics/behaviours/patterns (Fruit of the Spirit)

Works of flesh: Sexual immorality Impure thoughts Eagerness for lustful pleasures Impurity Obscene stories DrunkennessOrgiesLust Shameful desires Idolatry Demonic Activity Greed Selfish ambition AngerBitternessRageEnvyHostilityQuarrellingDivisionDiscord Harsh words Slander Coarse jokes Foolish talk LyingDeception

Fruit of Spirit: o Love o Joy o Peace o Patience o Kindness o Goodness o Gentleness o Faithfulness o Self-Control o Humility o Generosity o Hospitality o Forgiveness o Making allowances o Tender-hearted mercy o Thankfulness

Who feels inspired to let the Holy Spirit control their life? Always a choice:  Put to death the earthly things lurking within you.  Take off the old sinful nature  Learn to recognise when we act out of the flesh  Repent – Kill it  Put on, clothe yourself, with new nature  Let the Holy Spirit control your life
