Momentum Church Podcast

At Momentum Church, we believe Jesus is more than just a Sunday experience—He is the foundation of our daily lives. Our vision is to cultivate a thriving community of believers who live out their faith every day, at home, at work, and in their communities.

Ps Patrick shares a message with us about the need to dream again for the things of God.

In 1 Corinthians the Apostle Paul speaks to them about everyone having a roll, a part to play in the kingdom of God. To quote Dr Martin Luther King we the church, need to be thermostats instead of thermometers in our communities and Paul shows us no matter what we do whether we plant or we water we first need to hear what God is saying to us and remember that it is only God that causes the grow.

We all need to motivated at times, motivated to do different things or get up in the morning. Each person has a unique way of being motivated and God knows exactly who you are because He created you, He fashioned you, He formed you and spoke into you. So who better than our heavenly Father to place within us His children, the gifts of motivation we read about in Romans 12.

Ps Patrick Fitzgerald is from People's Church Dublin City and he shares with us a message about Jacob and Esau and the destiny that is before them both.

Have you ever overheard a conversation and interrupted to give what you thought would be well appreciated information only to discover you had the context all wrong. When it comes to reading and studying the bible, context is everything and especially when it comes to the gifts in 1 Corinthians 12 where it appears they conflict with Ephesians 4.

We all have aspects of our Christian life that we relate to God in different ways, for some it's about the worship, for others it can be the preaching or even about connection. No matter which way we relate do we consider all aspects of God in our walk that is do you see God the Father and Jesus and the Holy Spirit and can you identify with each one.

Romans 10 tells us that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of Christ. We all have in this life the opportunity to live our best and when we have the revelation of the word of God we open ourselves to the amazing work of God through not just hearing the word but living the word.

On the 3rd of February 237 years ago under a great tree in what was to be known later as Circular Quay, the very first sermon was preached on Australian soil. The message was by a Minister called Richard Johnson and he spoke from Psalm 116 - "What can I offer the Lord for all that He has done for me" Richard understood the impelling call of God over his life and we all face the challenge of moving...

The Apostle Paul was in Ephesus when he heard about the church in Corinth and the disunity it was facing from sins that invaded the church that made the church appear like Gentiles. Paul confronted these issues by teaching them that they are many and yet one in Christ and he teaches them about the gifts of the Spirit that are available for anyone the Holy Spirit desires.

In Matthew's Gospel chapter 16, many people were talking about this man called Jesus, who was he, was he Elijah, was he John, was he Elijah. The disciple Peter had a journey in his life that brought him from thinking Jesus was the One who would fix Israel from its predicament in the natural to a revelation that Jesus was truly the Son of God and Israel would have a different kind of salvation. Pet...

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...
