F2G Focus

We have really enjoyed over the last term looking at different areas of the Bible and chatting about how being a Christian can impact the lives of others.

As a leadership team we truly believe and are inspired by God’s promise found in 2 Timothy 3:16 as to the reason why we feel Blessed to serve God in leading the young people of Stanway Evangelical Church.

As said, the extent of our inspiration can be clearly seen in 2 Timothy 3:16, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."

This verse tells us that God inspired all Scripture and that it is profitable to us. It is not just the parts of the Bible that deal with religious doctrines that are inspired, but each and every word from Genesis to Revelation. Because it is inspired by God, the Scriptures are therefore authoritative when it comes to establishing doctrine, and sufficient for teaching man how to be in a right relationship with God. The Bible claims not only to be inspired by God, but also to have the supernatural ability to change us and make us "complete." What more can we need?

We have enjoyed welcoming Emanuel into the F2G group who has settled in well and become a key part of our group. We also welcomed Sophie Goodman who is meeting with us whilst studying at the Colchester Institute. Sophie has left her family in Thailand who are serving God through OMF.

October appears to be a month of birthing of new things for Stanway and not least that of the new 18-30's gathering. This was hosted at the home of Adam and Vicky and saw 14 young people aged between 18-30 years come together to grow in their friendships with each other.

Thank you for all your prayers and encouragement for the young people. Please continue to pray for all of them that we as a fellowship can embrace the gifts God has given them and encourage and empower them in their use of them.
