Momentum Church Podcast

Have you ever thought about what Christmas gift you would give to God? What is the right gift you could ever give the Creator of the universe who has, knows and made everything, and what would God actually desire? In the book of Micah we read bout three things, three qualities of the heart that Micah shows us are the things that God desires from us.

My mother had many Christmas traditions that she adhered to throughout her life from the way presents were handed out to the food we would eat. One particular year all of us children convinced our parents to let us open all the present a week early, what a great time it was until Christmas Day actually arrived, you can imagine how we felt and yes it never happened again. In Luke's Gospel Simeon wa...

The call of the Gospel message is one that is upon every believer, everyone who is a disciple of Christ has a mandate to go into the world and preach the Gospel. That world may be your home, your work, your family, that world is everywhere around us for God gives each one of us an opportunity to share about His goodness and love and what Jesus has done for us.

When Paul writes to us about the Ministerial or Five-fold Gifts in Ephesians 4, he was writing to a church that was going strong, to a group of believers that had a desire to grow in their faith and Jesus. Paul could have been writing directly to you.

Understanding the gifts of the Spirit is an important part of our identity in Christ, after all Jesus himself gave us the Ministerial Gifts also known as the Five-fold gifts in Ephesians 4. To understand how each gift operates helps us grow together in the unity of faith and understand one another in the Kingdom of God.

Even though at times it seems like it's hard to sit and read the word we must be encouraged to be obedient to persist and keep reading because as we read a spiritual transaction takes place. Mark's Gospel shares the story of Jesus healing a blind man and it appears that Jesus couldn't heal the blind man the first time – but when we know God through reading His word we get to see there is more to s...

When it comes to the Gifts of the Spirit we need to make sure we are looking through the right lens and our attitude is planted on the right foundation. There are some things that help us keep ourselves on track to make sure Jesus is always the centre of everything we do so we all can be available and ready for the Holy Spirit to use us for the Kingdom of God and God's glory.

Nicho shares with us from Matthew Chapter 6 and the words of Jesus to us about forgiveness. The words of Jesus are very clear, we must forgive, if we don't forgive others our heavenly Father cannot forgive us and unforgiveness has a way of weighing us down. Jesus came to give us life abundantly and because we are forgiven, we need to allow that forgiveness to flow though us to to others.

The will of God is about you being connected with the right people at the right time in the right place. When we look at the life of Esther in the bible we see the outworking of Gods divine appointment over Esther's life and His purpose for the children of Israel. God has a divine purpose for you today.

Ps Harry shares a message of vision and dreams over Momentum Church that has happened over the last 8 years and his heart of what God is doing today. Jesus is still in control, Jesus is still the head of the church and Jesus desires that all would know Him.

Whatever happened to the Gospel, is the Gospel just as effective today as it was in the past? George shares with us from the Matthew 13 and the parable of the pearl, God gives a gift of righteousness to the sinner. The parable is not about pearls, but it is about the gift of righteousness that God gives to sinful people. What sort of person considers the pearl of great price, the person who unders...

Wherever God is good things grow. In 1 Peter chapter 4 we read that God has given each us as followers of Jesus Christ a variety of gifts, not just a variety but a great variety and we are to use these gifts to serve on another. Ps Narelle brings us into the word to look at how we serve God and His purpose and in that proccess we serve each other.

Luke chapter 7 gives us an incredible story of events between a Pharisee, an unnamed woman and Jesus. The woman comes into a scene where the Pharisee is practicing what is known as Tzedakah but Jesus cuts through the social layers and deals with the issues of the heart and rearranges the room. Verse 44 shows us an incredible picture - Jesus looks at the woman but addresses Simon.

Jesus lived in a culture culture teaming with hostilities and tensions against the Jews and others. There were racial divisions and vilification of groups like the Samaritans and segregation and political strife between the Pharisees and Sadducees, the Herodians, Essenes and Zealots, the taxing isolating culture against the sick, the poor and homeless and in the midst of all this, Jesus comes on t...

As Christians we are called to move forward and not be stagnant in our walk with Jesus. Nicho shares with us from Psalm 91 and some on his personal testimonies of how God encourages and uplifts us for the work of the ministry, the promises of the Psalm and God's unwavering love and protection over us are available for all who dwell in the secret place of the God and that God will be our refuge alw...

This Father's Day Ps Bec shares with us from Hebrews 12 and how the author tells us to not forget the word of encouragement that speaks to us as a father speaks to his son. It goes on to share to us to never lose heart because God does discipline us because He loves us as His children and if we are truly His children then discipline is part of our maturing.

Luke Chapter 5 gives us the headline of Four Fishermen Called As Disciples but the headline only gives us one part of the story. The story of the calling of Peter and his fellow fishermen reveals a greater story and that is the story of God's great redemption plan of John 3:16.

At the end of the Elijah's life he takes his apprentice Elisha on a journey, a path of the Spirit to see if he will take up the challenge from Gilgal to Bethel to Jericho to Jordan. Each place is another test to see if Elisha is ready to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit.

2 Corinthians Chapter 4 tells us to keep or fix our eyes not on what is seen but on what is unseen because all we see in this world is temporary not eternal. Because of Jesus and what He did on the cross we all as believers are fixing our eyes on eternity with Christ.

Nicho shares with us from 1 Corinthians chapter 12 and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Each one of us as believers have opportunity to be the vessel God could use to display His glory and Nicho shares testimonies from his life and how God has used him in multiple ways to reach the unsaved and show the love of Jesus. Today God could use you, we just need to have faith and be available.

What is revival? Charles Spurgeon said "Revival begins by Christians getting right first and then spills over into the world. If we want revivals, we must revive our reverence for the Word of God." Whatever revival is, it cannot happen without one incredibly important person and that is the person of the Holy Spirit.

George McArdle shares with us a word about being ready for the wave of the Lord who is coming in like a flood over our lives. Being ready for more from God so we all can walk in all the promises and purposes that our loving God has for us.

The 11 Disciples who remained found themselves with Jesus and He told them to remain until the Father will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever. I don't think any of the disciples would have envisioned the change that would come over their lives once they received the power of the Holy Spirit.
