Equippers Surrey's Podcast

The invitation has been sent. Tonight, three words tell you exactly what it's for: eat, drink, and rest. In this baptism service message from the RSVP series, Ps Mark Collard opens up three pictures Jesus uses for what it means to come to him. First, the bread of life — Jesus's promise in John 6 that whoever comes to him will never be hungry again. Not a one-off meal but a daily bread, t...

Tired of trying to meet everyone's expectations? Money, relationships, career, even trying to please God. It gets heavy. Ps Jeziel Koehler looks at one of the greatest invitations Jesus ever gave: "Come to me, all who are weary." You'll hear why faith is about receiving, not achieving, and why there's a difference between a quick refresh and real rest that lasts. Plus, how...

Before you can respond to the RSVP, you need to answer a more fundamental question: what do you actually think God is like? In this message from the RSVP series, Ps Steve Graham opens with a quote from A.W. Tozer — "What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us" — and builds an entire sermon around it. Because if God is distant, harsh, and judgmen...

God doesn't ask you to go because you're the most qualified. He asks you because he knows what's in you. In this message, Charlie MacIntosh opens up the story of Moses from Exodus 3 and 4 — not the confident Moses who parted the Red Sea, but the Moses who had fled to Midian, was hiding out as a shepherd, and immediately responded to God's call with a list of reasons why he was...

You've been invited. The question is — what are you going to do about it? In this first message of the RSVP series, Ps Mark Collard opens up the parable of the great banquet from Luke 14 and draws out one of the most practical challenges in the New Testament: the kingdom of God grows when the invited become the inviters. The man in the parable is God. The feast is the kingdom. And the excuses...

Your current harvest is connected to yesterday's seed. Your future harvest is connected to what you're sowing today. In this evening message, Ps Mark Collard opens up one of the most consistent principles in scripture — sowing and reaping — and makes it deeply personal. He walks through 2 Corinthians 9, Galatians 6, Psalm 126, and the parable of the sower to show that the kingdom of God...

Ever looked at your life and thought, "God, you've got the wrong person"? This message is for you. Ps Monica Collard looks at the story of Gideon, a scared farmer hiding in a wine press who God called a mighty warrior. God's favour isn't just something He gives you. It's something He grows in you. If fear, past pain or excuses have kept you hiding, this is your invita...

Everything you're standing in today is the harvest of someone else's seed. The question is: what are you sowing for tomorrow? In this Impact Sunday message, Ps Steve Graham traces the principle of seed time and harvest from Isaiah's prophecy about Jesus — "of the increase of his government there will be no end" — through the parable of the rich fool, and into one of the mo...

Giving that costs nothing isn't really giving. And it isn't really worship. In this Impact Sunday message, Ps Mark Collard builds a theology of generosity around three simple but weighty ideas: our giving is worship, our giving is seed, and our giving is often the key to our breakthrough. He opens with 2 Corinthians 9 — the call to hilarious, overflowing, freely-given generosity — and tr...

Everything's falling apart. Yet I will rejoice. That's the statement Ps Mark Collard builds this message around — the final verses of Habakkuk, a prophet writing into total economic and national collapse who somehow lands on a declaration of exuberant, dancing, spinning-for-joy rejoicing. Not in his circumstances. In his Saviour. This message explores why joy is not a feeling you wait fo...

God's favour isn't just for you. It's meant to flow through you. In this message from The Favour Effect series, Ps Steve Graham reframes what it means to live under God's favour — not as a personal blessing to accumulate, but as a channel to unlock blessing in the lives of the people around you. He traces the concept through the Old Testament: Noah saving his generation, Moses...

Walking with God is not just a moment when you started your journey. It's a daily lifestyle — and it's the best way to live. In this message, Ps Binu Thampy traces the concept of walking with God from Adam and Eve all the way through to Enoch, Noah, Abraham, David, and into the New Testament — and shows that the whole thread of the Bible is God's desire to walk with us. Not just to...

What if the Psalms were the greatest playlist ever made? In this message, Ps Sam Malcolm opens up Psalm 127 — a wisdom psalm — and unpacks one of the most freeing truths in Scripture: let God build, and let God bless. From a summer CD-burning nostalgia trip to the hustle culture videos filling up our Instagram feeds, Sam traces a line between the way the world tells us to build our lives and what...

God's favour is not something you earn. But there are ways to position yourself under it. In Part 3 of The Favour Effect series, Ps Mark Collard uses the story of Nehemiah to share three practical keys for living under an atmosphere of God's favour — not just on Sundays, but on Mondays, in the workplace, in your family, and in every season of life.  The image he keeps coming back to is a...

Favour is not merely for your comfort. It's for the assignment God has placed on your life. In Part 2 of The Favour Effect series, Ps Mark Collard picks up where he left off — recapping what God's favour actually is (a shield, a lifetime canopy, goodness and mercy that pursue you even on your worst days) — before making a shift. Favour, he says, is unreasonable: 1 + 1 = 100. It can'...

If you haven't put a name on something, it ends up in lost property — or someone else claims it. In this message, Ps Monica Collard opens with a simple analogy about school uniforms, lost caps, and the frustration of watching something valuable sit unclaimed. Then she takes it somewhere unexpected: Numbers 6, where God gives Aaron and his sons an exact template for blessing the Israelites, an...

You stepped into the favor of God the moment you said yes to Jesus — and it has never been retracted from your life. In this opening message of The Favor Effect series, Ps Mark Collard unpacks what God's favor actually is. The word grace (caris) can be translated as favor, and it's not an occasional blessing or a feeling you have on a good week — it's the permanent position you walk...

You can have an amazing dinner and still wake up hungry the next morning. Your soul works the same way. In this message, Ps Mark Collard unpacks what it actually means to live on daily bread — not weekly bread, not conference bread from six months ago. Drawing from the story of manna in Exodus 16 and the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6, he explores four things that manna represents: daily provisio...

Maybe you're feeling stuck. Maybe the Red Sea is in front of you and the enemy is behind you. God's message this morning is simple: move on. In this message, Ps Jeziel Koehler draws from Exodus 14:15 and shares three things that will keep your life moving when you feel paralysed. Trust God's character, not just his existence. Keep Jesus at the centre of the story. And keep worshippi...

You think you're safe. But the stronghold you've built around yourself isn't keeping you safe. It's keeping you small. In this message, Ps Barry Roberts explains how strongholds are built. Not all at once, but brick by brick. Something happens to you. Someone says something. You see a pattern repeat. And you lay a brick down. Then another. Then another. Until you've built...

Summer is the perfect time to stop and check what is actually going on inside your heart. In this message, Ps Steve Graham takes Proverbs 4:23 ("Guard your heart, for from it flow the wellsprings of life") and builds a simple but deeply practical heart checkup around three markers: humble, hungry, and helpful. Drawing from Philippians 2 and 3 and the example of the Apostle Paul writing a...

Jesus said the kingdom of God belongs to those who are like children. But what does that actually mean for us as adults? In this message, Ps Paul Geerling takes Mark chapter 10 and unpacks five characteristics that God loves about children and doesn't want us to lose as we grow up in faith. Children don't believe in limits. They believe their father's resources are never ending. The...

In this message from Shout Conference, Ps Paul Geerling takes Isaiah 40 and the great promise that those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength. He unpacks three things that happen when we stop flapping in our own strength and start waiting on God: we are reminded just how strong and wise he actually is, we receive his strength and his perspective on our situation, and we find the resilien...

He believed in God. He had seen God work. But somewhere along the way, he stopped relying on him. And what followed is one of the most sobering warnings in the Bible. In this message, Ps Mark Collard walks through the story of King Asa in 2 Chronicles and draws out a warning that is as relevant today as it was then. The danger is not that we stop believing in God. It's that we stop relying on...

Not everyone can go. But everyone can hold the rope. In this message from Shout Conference, Ps Byron Marchant introduces one of the most freeing ideas in the life of the church. There are four things you can do with the gospel: believe it, live it, share it, and partner with it. And it is that fourth one, the partnering, that most people have never fully stepped into. Drawing from the story of Wil...
