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.

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!)

🍽️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?

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

What does it look like to stand firm, live faithfully, and stand out in a world that doesn’t always share the same values?

Join us as we look at Daniel’s story and discover what his example can teach us today.

And a little reminder to sign up for our Connect Deeper Nights! 🙌 A great opportunity to connect, grow and go deeper together.

STANDING OUT 🙏

A great Sunday today as we started a new series, Standing Out, looking at Daniel & Esther. Two lives that show us what it means to follow God faithfully when the pressure around us says, “blend in.”

This week, Pam took us through Daniel 1 & 2.
Daniel found himself in a foreign land, surrounded by pressure to assimilate and compromise. Yet he chose to stand firm in his convictions, while continuing to serve with humility, wisdom and excellence.

He didn’t stand out for attention. He stood out because his life pointed people towards God.

Pam left us with some important questions:

🙏 Under pressure, how do we respond?
💡 How do we hold onto our convictions without losing our love for others?
✨ How can we excel in the environments God has placed us in?
❤️ And how can our lives reveal who God is?

Daniel shows us that standing out isn’t about being perfect or making ourselves noticed. It’s about faithfulness, courage, prayer, humility and radical love.

“Seek the God of heaven, who reveals mysteries…” — Daniel 2:28
