The GMC Podcast

What matters to you most as Christmas starts to creep up on you. The season of Advent for Christians is a time of preparation to celebrate the birth of Jesus, the Christ child. But of course it is a time for many other preparations too - present for gift giving and receiving, organising holiday breaks, work parties and family visiting. Of course family is so important at this time of year, and whe...

Listen for an insight to the ways of God, his work and ministry to people in the everyday of life, whatever stage of life., as we hear from Fiona Boyle, Janice Aitken and Isobel Burnett If you liked what you heard, then please share with friends and family. Gillesp...

For Christians, Paul's passage about 'putting on the armour of God' is well known and perhaps folk do pray each morning for the armour of God, but do we understand the importance of the whole passage and accept that the wearer of God's armour stands in a place of spiritual warfare? Pastor Mike Weaver states that the church ignores the spiritual world, the 'powers of this dark w...

Relationships are not always easy, whether in the family or in the workplace. Many of us face challenges as Christians living out our faith in such a way as to honour God and one another. It can often be the case that it is easier said than done. In our passage from Ephesians 6, the apostle Paul gives us advice on how to overcome in a difficult relationship  to honour the people in our lives even...

Wives and Husbands. Women and Men. How we get along and are joined in marriage matters to God, for marriage is a God-ordained union. Marriage is a mystery that reveals the relationship between the people of God and their bridegroom, in other words between the church and Jesus Christ. Pastor Mike Weaver considers the challenging words to both wives and husbands in Ephesians 5.21-33. Wives to submit...

Looking where we walk is a very sensible thing to do. When you step out of your home into the world, walking somewhere with intention, whether to the car to head out to work or to visit friends, whether to walk the dog or just walk for the sheer sake of it, you walk with intention and you better watch your step so you don't trip, fall or worse. The same goes for your spiritual walk! The world...

In today’s podcast, Pastor Mike explores the relationship between the church, who are the people of God, and the world. The call to the Christian is to be LIGHT, but that entails a change in the heart and actions of the believer, that they are different to the world. Different in understanding and behaviours relating to sexual activity, the language we use and views on covetousness that lead to gr...

Pastor Mike Weaver challenges the worlds assumptions that the way things are is the way they are meant to be. The Christian worldview is not that of the world - which includes the worldviews of the atheist and other religious peoples. Christians know Jesus as Saviour and Lord, and in that space should be clothed anew, clothed differently from the world. Is the church so clothed today? Listen and u...

Unity is something we hope for and desire as a church but is it possible with all our denominations and differences? God desires and blesses unity in the body but it does not mean uniformity. We are all uniquely made to reflect his image and each of us is given gifts with which to function and serve as part of the body of Christ. Paul reminds us in this passage from Ephesians 4: 'We are all ON...

What is possible with Prayer? Do Christians today doubt the viability and the power of prayer to affect change. Pastor Mike considers the power prayer of St. Paul from the second part of chapter 3 of Ephesians. He discovers an imprisoned Paul praying mightily for God to intervene in the powerful name of Jesus and the effecting work of the Holy Spirit to change the lives of Christians and maybe mor...

Paul comes before the Lord in prayer after his introductory remarks to the church in Ephesus. Pastor Mike Weaver sheds light on seven steps that lead the one coming to Christ to beleif, rather than enlightenment. Today many people seek enlightenment, whether from self-analysis using tools and self help guide, or whether in the materials things of thi9s world, but ultimately none can satisfy the de...

A new sermon series in St. Paul's letter to the Ephesians kicks off with Pastor Mike Weaver considering the introduction to this letter, not to a single church but to a wider body of believers in Jesus. It is a letter in which Paul ranges overt the world, past, present and future where he considers God's all encompasing presence before the foundation of the world through to the fullness of...

No is a word we must be instructed to say. It is an anti social word. It goes against the tide. It takes courage and commitment to say it. It needs strong motivation, and grace motivates powerfully. Grace teaches us to say No! This sermon focusses on the Amazing Grace of God and how this grace was and is central to our salvation and transformation. The GMC Podcast is a production of Gillespie Memo...

Pastor Mike Weaver starts a new short, 3-sermon series looking at 'Authentic Faith' as a challenge for those who know Christ to grow deeper roots in their faith, and maybe for those who don't know Jesus to start the journey to germinate your faith. Mike starts by countering on oft heard narrative that Christian faith is a form of 'blind faith' and has little evidence to back up...
