Grasslands Church Podcast

Jesus' call to follow comes at a cost. Security & comfort and family expectations can often become barriers to discipleship to Jesus. His hard to hear words force disciples to assess whether or not we're truly willing to follow Jesus. SCRIPTURE: Matthew 8:23-27

Grasslands Family Meeting: Our Vision & Updates (June, 2026)

Scripture demonstrates that Jesus' ministry and mission was to bring healing. He is willing to heal, he is able to heal and he cares enough to heal. The church belongs to the Healer, it's a place where broken people can be made whole again. SCRIPTURE: Matthew 8:1-17

After your needs have been met, what influences the way you spend money? When it comes to spending, Jesus teaches his disciples to prioritise what God values most - people. Including an interview with special guests Matt & Steph! SCRIPTURE: Luke 16:1-15

For many we assume that saving money is immediately a good thing. But what if that was not always the case? The Bible's practical wisdom gives us two guard rails when it comes to saving - diligence and stinginess. SCRIPTURE: Luke 12:13-21

The Bible instructs us to live by culture-defying logic - before we save and spend, we're to give to God first. For followers of Jesus, the power to give to God first comes from receiving what God gave first. Before we could do anything for God he gave us Jesus. SCRIPTURE: Proverbs 3:5-10

Living as stewards of all that God has given means that even the ability to earn money and produce wealth is a gift of grace given by God. This changes the way we think about our lives, our values and our money. SCRIPTURE: Deuteronomy 8:10-18

Before delving into the practical wisdom the Bible has when it comes to money, Jesus' warnings about money need to be heard. Money can have such a grip on our hearts that it can stop us from entering eternal life and following Jesus. SCRIPTURE: Matthew 19:16-30

The story we tell about money is the story we live out. We can live with the belief that we own everything and we are the masters of our own fate. But the Bible paints a different picture - everything belongs to God, and what we have has been entrusted to us to provide for our needs and advance God's purposes in the world. SCRIPTURE: Genesis 2:4-17

What we believe to be true doesn't just change who we are, but it deeply impacts the daily choices we make. Christians are called to devote themselves to doing good, not out of guilt or obligation, but because we have been made new people by God's Spirit living in us. SCRIPTURE: Titus 3:1-15

What we believe to be true shapes the way we see ourselves. Jesus changes who we are in the present by breaking the power of the past and giving us a hope for the future. SCRIPTURE: Titus 2

How can we discern the truth in a world full of lies? The key is having a lens through which we can interpret everything and everyone that claims to be speaking the truth. For Christians, that lens must be Jesus and his gospel. SCRIPTURE: Titus 1:1-16

When it comes to Jesus, it's human to have our doubts. Jesus graciously moved towards Thomas in his doubts, and he is still doing that with us today. SCRIPTURE: John 20:24-29

The resurrection of Jesus has the power not only to change our eternal destiny, but our everyday lives too. SCRIPTURE: Matthew 28:1-20

The guilty are set free because an innocent man takes their place. This is the story of Good Friday. SCRIPTURE: Matthew 27:11-26

In Matthew 21, Jesus comes riding into Jerusalem not to conquer, but to bring peace. What if Jesus were the King who wants to come and bring peace to the anxieties and fears we face today? SCRIPTURE: Matthew 21:1-17

Jesus' teaching reveals that one relationship has the power to transform all others - a relationship with our Heavenly Father. This relationship of love gives us the power to change the way we're honest about ourselves and how we treat others. SCRIPTURE: Matthew 7:1-12

Marcus Valles preaches from Matthew 6, showing us how worry and anxiety might possibly be some of our most common feelings when it comes to money. Jesus however points us to a solution that we might not expect - to look at birds, flowers and grass - as the antidote to anxiety. SCRIPTURE: Matthew 6:19-34

Every spiritual practice carries a reward. But are we trusting that God will reward our pursuit of him? Or are we settling for recoginition from others? SCRIPTURE: Matthew 6:1-18

Guest preacher Bree Mills preaches from Matthew 5, explaining how Jesus' concern goes beyond our behaviour to focuses in on transforming our hearts. SCRIPTURE: Matthew 5:17-47

Who gets to be part of Jesus' kingdom? The answer to this question might surprise us - it's the weak, the humble, the suffering and the persecuted who have a place with Jesus. SCRIPTURE: Matthew 5:1-16

Jesus' mission has 3 essential elements - the call, the message & the ministry. Followers of Jesus must receive and live out each of these as we join in his mission in the world. SCRIPTURE: Matthew 4:12-25

Almost all of us know the feeling of being let down by someone we trusted. So how can we be so sure that we can trust Jesus? SCRIPTURE: Matthew 3:13-4:11

Jonathan Lopez brings our series in Ruth to a close. In Boaz we see leadership modelled that is not only strong, but loyal and sacrificial. SCRIPTURE: Ruth 4

God 's redemption becomes a reality as power is used to protect and provide for the vulnerable. But will we choose to use our power to see, be curious, protect and provide? SCRIPTURE: Ruth 2
