Questions for the Christian - Alcohol?

11th October 2026 Ezra 9

How should Christians respond to Halloween? This message calls believers to recognise spiritual danger (Ephesians 6:11–12), refuse the works of darkness, and walk as children of light (Ephesians 5:8–11). With practical counsel for parents and grandparents, it encourages abstaining from Halloween celebrations while showing kindness to neighbours. Above all, it points to Jesus Christ, the Light of the world, as the source of our confidence and hope (John 8:12).

Last week we thought about the importance of being right with God. Yesterday morning, from Ephesians 4, we turned our attention to being right with each other. We considered the importance of unity within the body of Christ — loving one another, bearing with one another, forgiving one another, and guarding the unity that the Lord has given us. We also spoke to those who have been genuinely hurt by others, especially when the other person cannot, or will not, recognise the wrong they have done. We may not be able to change another person's heart, but we can keep our own heart right before God, refuse bitterness, and leave the matter safely in His hands. "Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace." Ephesians 4:3
