Please note: Learning from Romans 12 onward has developed into a different model where GEL participants formulate their own questions before the group focuses on answers. This has been a great experience , but you have to be there in person to appreciate the benefit. Come along - we would love to have you, and you are welcome to just sit and listen.

Salty and Illuminating
Continuing from our study in Matthew last week, what does it mean to be 'salt' and 'light' in an evangelistic sense?

A Series in Matthew
Facilitated by Pastor Nigel Lyons
Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, Matthew has one main purpose for writing this gospel: to prove to his Jewish readers that Jesus truly is their long-awaited Messiah, the promised King of Israel.
As we follow his footsteps, we not only discover the King of the Jews, but we also learn that Matthew highlights many attitudes and perspectives we can examine in our own lives.
As we follow his footsteps, we not only discover the King of the Jews, but we also learn that Matthew highlights many attitudes and perspectives we can examine in our own lives.
Studies in Matthew - Part 9 (Salt and Light)
What does it mean to be 'salt' and 'light' as a Christian? Can salt lose its flavour? How would that apply to us?
| studies_in_matthew_part_9_18_05_30.pdf |
Studies in Matthew - Part 8 (The Beatitudes)
What does the word 'beatitude' mean? Who are the 'poor in spirit?' Is this passage just a code of ethics?
| studies_in_matthew_part_8_2018_05_23.pdf |
Studies in Matthew - Part 7 (The Calling of 4 Fishermen)
Part 7 deals with reactions to "Come and follow me." Is there a relation to church mission as expressed by the BELLS project?
| studies_in_matthew_part_7_2018_05_09.pdf |
Studies in Matthew - Part 6 (The Temptation of Jesus)
Part 6 highlights the significance of the temptation of Jesus by the devil. Where, how and why was he tempted?
| studies_in_matthew_part_6_2018_04_11.pdf |
Studies in Matthew - Part 5 (The Baptism of Jesus)
Part 5 shows that Jesus relinquished his rightful honour in order to embrace the shame of others. Why did Jesus request to be baptised when he was the the only one that had no sin to confess?
| studies_in_matthew_part_5_2018_04_04.pdf |
Studies in Matthew - Part 4 (Discipleship vs. Religiosity)
Part 4 focuses on John the Baptist and people's varied response to his message. How did the Pharisees and Sadducees respond? Can we make comparisons with current forms of Christianity?
| studies_in_matthew_part_4_2018_03_28.pdf |
Studies in Matthew - Part 3 (Challenging Prejudices)
Part 3 makes us reflect about prejudices in today's life and church. Are our reactions and thoughts toward others in line with God's heart?
| studies_in_matthew_part_3_2018_03_21.pdf |
Studies in Matthew - Part 2 (A Closer Look at Joseph)
Part 2 takes a look at Joseph, his reactions to the announcement and birth of Jesus, what kind of a man he was, and what we can take home from what we have learnt.
| studies_in_matthew_part_2_2018_03_14.pdf |
Studies in Matthew - Part 1 (Fulfilled Prophecies)
Part 1 highlights the fulfillment of Old Testament Prophecies during the life and ministry of Jesus.
