‘Standing Out’ part 4!
Great to be in God’s House to worship, dig deeper into the book of Daniel chp 7-9 in the OT & share Communion together.

‘There was before me one like a Son of Man, coming with the clouds of heaven’ Dan 7:13

‘Sing to God, sing in praise of His name, extol Him who rides on the clouds; rejoice before Him - His name is the Lord.’ Psalm 68:4

| “Faith is not opposed to knowledge; faith is opposed to sight.”


| “Great faith, like great strength in general, is revealed by the ease of its workings.

Most of what we think we see as the struggle OF faith is really the struggle to act as IF

we had faith when in fact we do not.”
~ Dallas Willard


| The Faith – we see in the book of Daniel appears easy. When we are struggling – it’s because we are trying to work up our faith.

It’s not real faith.


| Imagine – what would happen if you and I took the giftings God has already given us –

and trust Him with real faith.

| Listening to Him – operating in faith and powerfully loving others.


| Daniel ‘stands out’ using spiritual weapons in Babylon ~ prayer, faith and bold, generous love.

A great morning to finish up this block of our Wellbeing Café 💛

Huge thanks to Jenn Irbid, who led us through a brilliant movement and wellbeing session, using music and movement to help us connect with our emotions and what we might be carrying in our bodies.

Such a positive way to finish before our break.

EBC Wellbeing Cafe back on Friday 6th November. ...

Today we unpacked Daniel chapter 6 as part of our ‘Standing Out’ teaching series.
We explored & discovered:

The Plot Against Daniel 🎯
The Defiance of Daniel in PRAYER 🙏🏽
The Den & his Deliverance! 🦁

🙏🏽Defiant Prayer is an intentional act of faith, hope or worship that REFUSES to surrender to difficult circumstances, cultural pressure or spiritual discouragement.

🙏🏽Defiant Prayer is STANDING against opposition.

🙏🏽Defiant Prayer is REBELLING against despair, apathy, doubt or the feeling that change is impossible.

🙏🏽Defiant Prayer INSISTS on believing in God’s Promises even when reality looks bleak.

If you are in a lion’s den moment right now, remember….

🦁Despite present circumstances - God is in control.
🦁Remain faithful - God will take care of you.
🦁God will overrule the evil intentions of people & is able to deliver His people from their enemies.

And above all hold to the truth that ‘the Lion of Judah has overcome’ Rev 5:5

We also enjoyed extended time with one another at our ‘Come for Lunch’ Sunday.
(Thanks to those who sent photos!)

#StandingOut ...

🍽️This Sunday is another ‘Come for Lunch’ Sunday at EBC.

☕️A fantastic opportunity to invite someone to your home or a local cafe for a simple lunch straight after Church.

🫶🏽A great way to get to know others better and go deeper in our relationships as a Church.

💛The table represents the heart of Jesus’ ministry and is a radical expression of the Kingdom of God. Rather than just a place to consume food, the table was where Jesus dismantled social hierarchies, extended radical grace, and revealed His true identity.

❓There is still time…who will you invite?

#ComeforLunchSundayatEBC ...

EBC this morning!!! 🙏🏾✝️🔥🙏🏻
We are so grateful for God’s Presence amongst as we welcomed, worshipped, loved, served, prayed & spent time in His Word & responding to who He is together.

Thankful for TEAM EBC!

Niall brought a powerful word from Daniel Chapter 3 in our ‘Standing Out’ teaching series. We explored together:

✝️ The Issue of Idols in our Lives..
“A person’s god is the thing or person that one is most concerned about,

thinks the most about, or affects one’s life the most.” Paul Tillich

✝️ God is Present in our Suffering..
Daniel 3 – reminds us that He might not prevent the flames but He is present with us in the fire.

✝️ The Battle for True Worship..

Daniel 3 – is a snapshot of where the bible says human history is heading.
There will be a battle between the false idols – false worship and Jesus, the lamb.

And finally in our response we brought our personal ‘even if’s….’ to a loving, strong, trustworthy, faithful, holy God! 🤲🏼
Daniel 3:18
