Family Church Gosport

Pastor Geoff addresses the congregation at the carol service for Family Church Gosport. The Love of God is so amazing we cannot take it in sometimes but this is the reason for the season! Listen and enjoy!

It’s time for us to start expecting God to do some great and mighty things in our lives, in His Church and in the community around us. Every morning we wake, let’s Expect the unexpected…

Pastor Steu speaks from Zechariah 4 about how when we don’t feel like there is much happening, or that we haven’t made the progress we would like to see, we have to remember 5 things: 1. God has not forgotten you. 2. God is just getting started. 3. God is working behind the scenes. 4. God will empower you. 5. God has given you the right tools.

Even if we don’t fully believe everything the Word of God says about us…the devil does…and he will do all he can to stop us from walking in these truths.

Jesus lived to do the will of His Father, healing, delivering, restoring and setting free all who were oppressed by the devil. Therefore, God wants us to walk in all that He provided at the cross 2000 years ago, which includes soundness of mind, healing for our bodies and forgiveness of our sins. 

Let's not grow weary in our prayers. There are times when it may feel like there’s no answers coming or no change to a situation, but know this - God has heard.

Not all prayer is the same…therefore, knowing which prayer to use at any given time is helpful to our prayer strategy.

Having the privilege of the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives and being able to pray the perfect prayer makes praying incredibly powerful.

The prayer of faith: is to ask God to accomplish what He has promised in His Word. That promise is the only ground for our confidence in asking. Such confidence is not "worked up" from within our emotional life; rather, it is given and supported by what God has said in Scripture.

Collective prayer is simply a gathering of people coming together and praying as one. When we gather together and combine our prayers as the body of Christ, the results are powerful.

Today is Global Sunday in Family Church and we celebrate all the represented nations in our congregations. Here in Gosport Congregation, Ps Geoff speaks with members of the congregation from different nations about the importance of praying for the persecuted church. Persecution of Christians is still rife in parts of the world and our prayers need to focus on their plight as well as our own immed...

I would like to suggest that the two most important factors that will motivate us as believers to pray are…desire and need. Unfortunately, need is often the greatest motivation to pray when, in fact, desire should be the greatest motivation in a believer's life.

Pastor Steu shares some principles from the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6, expanding mainly on what the statement “Your Kingdom Come” means.

Prayer is “talking to God.” Prayer is not meditation or passive reflection; it is direct address to God. It is the communication of the human soul with the Lord who created the soul. Prayer is the primary way for the believer in Jesus Christ to communicate his emotions and desires with God and to fellowship with God.

Today, Pastor Andy launches a new series called House Of Prayer. This has been on his heart for a while and all FC congregation will focus on this for the rest of 2023. How can we be a praying people? Prayer is not a bolt on for church!, its a central part. Other faiths call people to prayer from tall towers, some churches ring bells. Jesus was passionate about prayer in the church 2000 years ago...

Do we take God's Presence for granted…and have we become all too familiar with the anointing of God and the manifest presence of God? Let's be conscious of His abiding presence and allow the fire of God to burn in our hearts.

God wants to shower His grace on each one of us…not just once or now and again, but over and over again…His empowering Grace allows us to live and walk through the circumstances of life from a place of victory.

As God has trusted us all with His talents, different from each other, we need to use them for the glory of God to bring joy to the body of Christ. 

There are times in this journey when all seems good, life is sweat, and we don’t have a problem in the world, and we praise the Lord for those times. And there are times when we can feel under pressure or that the weight of the world is on our shoulders. It’s in these moments of life we dig deep and trust God.

We need to wake up and be aware of how the enemy works. The Bible says the people in the land were being used to bring discouragement to those that were willingly building God’s House…

The moment we received Jesus into our hearts, we begin a journey of discipleship or discovery of learning, growing and maturing in the faith. True Discipleship is a lifelong process for all of us…

We can all be experts in noticing other people's issues and, at times taking things one step further and wanting to highlight them or tell others about them.

Family Church Pastors gather for a Round Table discussion on the true meaning of the scripture Acts 2:42 and following.... The NIV Bible titles this ‘The fellowship of the believers’ 42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43 Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles.&n...

As Noah built an arc to save himself and his family, as Christians, we need to build ourselves in the salvation of Jesus Christ. 

Jesus, in the New Testament, shed His Blood in an unbreakable covenant with God, and we being in Christ, are beneficiaries of that better covenant founded on better promises.
