Fields Church Podcast

Values are the deeply held convictions that shape what we love, pursue, prioritise and practice. Where your treasure is, what your priorities are, and the actions you take; these all reveal what your values or your convictions truly are. As we continue this sub-series, Pastor Joseph unpacks the third core value of Fields Church: 3.) Spirit Dependent - We rely on the presence and the power of the H...

As we continue our On This Rock series, Pastor Joseph feels that God is asking Fields Church to be a values-driven church. Values are the deeply held convictions that shape what we love, pursue, prioritise and practice. So, in the first part of this sub-series, we look at the first two values we should be modelling: 1.) Christ Centred - Jesus is our Foundation. 2.) Truth Grounded - God's word...

As we kick off the 'On This Rock' series, Pastor Joseph shares the message on how we belong to the body of Christ. The enemy loves to magnify our insecurities and trick us into comparison. But we have to remember that God has placed you exactly where you are supposed to be. The points shared are that: 1. We're all in this together 2. We're all gifted by God 3. If I'm highly gif...

This Sunday has ushered in an exciting new chapter for Fields Church; as family, friends and acquaintances gathered for the commissioning of Joseph Zimmerman (and his wonderful family) as the new pastor of the church.

We were privileged to have guests from The Beehive Project visit us on Sunday to share something of the work they do in Kenya. The Beehive is a mission that we support and such a powerful work of God in Kenya. John Eldridge then challenged us to look at what we have in our hands to use for God, focusing on Shamgar from Judges 3.31 and Judges 5:6.

What do we notice about Martha? Was she distracted with preparations for receiving Jesus? What if we look to God only, and choose not to "conform to the patterns of this world" or be bogged down by our own personal expectations? Being misguided in this area does not make someone a bad person, but it does point to a need for God's wisdom. Listen as Beth unpacks this next meal with Jes...

Do we sometimes discount the promises of God? Are they just words to us? Sarah laughed when Jesus declared that she would bear a child in old age. She questioned God's promise in the light of her own circumstances. How do we break this cycle in *our* lives? Genesis 18:1-15; Hebrews 11:11; Genesis 21:6-7

Join us today as Hannah shares the message of Zacchaeus, part of the Meals with Jesus series. Based off Luke 19, she shares the points of: * The interruption * The transformation

Join us, as Steve begins our new series entitled Meals with Jesus. The first of which looks at Levi; otherwise referred to as Matthew (even by himself). Levi was a tax collector and thus thoroughly disliked at the time. Jesus invited Levi (Matthew) to follow Him and eat with Him. The Pharisees didn't like this. Listen as Steve unpacks this story; looking at the importance of mercy, over-and-ab...

The Pastor Tyler Staton says "Prayer is about staying in the room with Jesus". For our latest look into the Practicing The Way principals, Josh guides us through the reasons *why* we pray, as well as the different approaches that we can - and should - use to do it.

Join us today as Mark shares the Good Friday message on the crucifixion of Jesus, from Mark 15. 'Jesus died to take away our sin. Jesus died to take the punishment for our sin because the wages of sin is death. So he paid for that'

The suffering of Jesus for our sins was so utterly profound, and yet so many in the world are indifferent to it. We can't add to our salvation (because God has already paid that price for us), but we can add to our sanctification and growth. Listen as John explains what this looks like for us, as he explores "Why the cross?". Mark 10:32-34; Mark 10:45; John 19:30; 1 Corinthians 1:23-...

This Mother's Day, Cris Talbot illustrates how we are "Called for such a time as this" by looking at the Biblical account of Deborah from Judges 4. "When God calls, He equips with wisdom, courage and strength to fulfil His calling"

"I want people to know me and trust me." This is what God told Nathan, when he was preparing this final chapter in our series on Romans. Paul focuses on God's big picture, on His mission. He gave promises to the patriarchs; Jesus then came and fulfilled those promises; so that the Gentiles would inquire after God and glorify Him. In turn, this gives us hope and wisdom as His follower...

We look at disputable matters and how we need to hold on to our convictions with love and...

Guest Speaker Joseph Zimmerman shares a message about the harvest, entitled "Open Your Eyes" Based on John 4:35, he unpacks 3 key points about reaching others: 1. Our eyes must change 2. Our feet must move 3. Our prayers must rise

By God’s mercies, we are seen as holy and acceptable. To receive transformation, we have to serve in *relationship* with God, and not just as part of a checklist. Where does our devotion lie? Are we more devoted to our anxieties and fears, than we are to God? Jesus can be in them with us, but He is not consumed by them. What you devote yourselves to is what you will become. This is just a taste of...

As we continue our Romans series, there are tensions between the Jews and Gentiles; mainly pertaining to the Jews perceived failure in becoming who God called them to be.
