Family Church Gosport

There are similarities within natural families, where children grow up and begin to mature, and in the household of faith, as we grow in our understanding of God and with the church family as well. God’s Word is absolutely key: Read it, meditate on it, study it, learn from it, write it out, speak it out loud, teach it to your children, and pray God’s words back to Him.

Consumer Christianity see’s people transitioning from church to church, like a customer browsing for the best store. They are often reluctant to volunteer, serve others, or engage deeply in small groups because that requires personal sacrifice and effort. When we love God and love His House, we will also come to love the family deeply and want to support and help where we can.

The father gives the shoes, the robe and the ring to show to the son and to the household that he still belongs to the family with all privileges intact. The prodigal tried to surrender his rights and become a hired servant, but the father refused and restored everything instead. Jesus was using this teaching to reveal to us that we are no longer a wayward people, but we are, in fact, His children...

We need to know WHERE the money that comes into our lives is going. Otherwise, we’re like the man described by Haggia…We earn our wages, only to see what we earn to put into a bag with holes. Our giving should always be a faith response from the heart, not from pressure, or duty or from a sense of a debt owed.

As believers, we are called to offer fresh, heartfelt worship, proclaim God’s salvation daily, and declare His glory among nations. In global unity, diverse people become one body in Christ, lifting one voice to Jesus, celebrating His greatness, sharing the gospel, and living as a unified church reflecting heaven on earth.

Worship is a response of the spirit, a time of expressing our adoration and devotion to God, giving Him exclusive place in our hearts. This is why we worship the Most High God

Ps Steu speaks this week in our Gosport Congregation. He focuses on growing our relationship with God through prayer. He speaks about the account of Mary and Martha in Luke 10 seeing the importance of sitting at the feet of Jesus and listening to Him. This is the most important thing for us all to keep in mind......

Like the prodigal son, we are welcomed by grace and invited into intimacy with the Father. Through God’s Word, prayer, fellowship, and discipleship, we grow spiritually, experience transformation, and learn to walk daily with Jesus in truth, freedom, and purpose.

As we confront hard times with the power of the Holy Spirit in us, we will move from coping to conquering and from being overcome to overcoming. As Believers, let's unleash the power of God within us, where those impossibilities around us become God's possibilities for us.

When the answer doesn't come the way you hoped or the process isn't the way you envisioned? We are encouraged not to get disheartened or lose hope but to recognise God's hand at work. Romans 8:25 says "But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait eagerly for it with with patience and composure." Ps Camille delivers an exciting message!!

When we encounter God’s grace, it always leads to living in His truth. Jesus took off the robe of righteousness and put on our sinfulness…Therefore, we are to put on His robe of righteousness and live in the revelation of the new creation, of being in Christ.

Putting on the robe of righteousness is to choose daily to walk in the new restored identity as sons and daughters of the King. We choose to live in the new life He has given, and the ways and life of the old sinful nature become the past.

What was the Father doing when he gave him the best robe… He was covering his son's mistakes and poor choices…He was taking away the rags and tatters of wild living. He was replacing the smell of the pig pen. He was repositioning his son's identity from his past months of sinful living. This is my son.

So we have two men standing before Pilate: Jesus, the Son of God and Barabbas, son of the father. One of whom Pilate found to be innocent, the other was in prison, having been found guilty and sentenced to death. Barabbas represented all our bad, all our messed-up worlds, all the junk in our lives.

Today, we have an opportunity to put ourselves in the Father’s arms and, by faith, receive prayer for healing and restoration, spirit, soul, and body. Throughout the Bible, we see God’s desire to bring spiritual, physical, mental and emotional healing through signs, wonders and miracles. Not because we have kept certain provisions of God’s law, but because we heard the gospel and accepted it by fa...

Throughout the Bible, we see God’s commitment to bringing spiritual, physical, mental and emotional healing and restoring relationships with Himself. Now He wants to use us personally and as a church family to bring His healing and restoration to others.

The Father's arms signify God's support, comfort and protection during life's challenges, representing His loving and compassionate presence in our lives. Picture yourself being carried in His arms…for we truly are in our Heavenly Father's arms.

There is no situation or circumstance that the Kingdom of God cannot overcome or reverse. Limited thinking comes from the root-thought that you only have access to your natural ability. Limitless thinking comes from the root-thought that you have access to the power of God or God’s ability.

Today is Vision Sunday 2026 for the whole of Family Church. Ps Steu speaks about the Mission and Vision of the church and introduces the six Family Church Values which will be expounded during the following weeks... We Value People We Value New life We Value Relationship with God We Value Church Family We Value Gathering We Value Commissioning Each of these is represented by a part of the parable...

In Scripture, Matthew 5:44 tells us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. As the children of God, we are called to play a very important role as God has called us to intercede on behalf of each other and also on behalf of those who are yet to believe in Him. We have been given the mandate to "stand in the gap "for our nations and those in authority. 1 Timothy 2:1-2 refers.

Jesus taught about the 5, 2 and 1 talents and the importance of using our lives, our gifts, and our talents we've been blessed with to the full. You are not an accident; you're not here on earth by chance. God, the creator of all things, and has positioned you for such a time as this.

A God-defining moment is significant, but it's what we do with these moments that determines the outcomes of our lives. Where are those in Church today who will passionately follow God and pursue Him all the days of their lives...

Things you have tried to make happen or tried to change, but cannot, God can make happen in a moment. God has placed you where you are at this defining moment in time to make a difference to bring about the purposes of God to make it happen!

God has given us the strength to turn back every spiritual attack and the battle at the gate that comes our way. Therefore, for us to stand strong in the evil day, we would do well to understand how or what the strategies of our enemy are as he comes against us.

Jesus, speaking of His church, gave us this promise: that the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it, we will turn the battle at the gate. Spiritual warfare requires spiritual weaponry, and in prayer we wage warfare against the spirit of this age and the works of darkness.
