Verso Church Podcast.

This sermon emphasises preparing God’s house—both as a physical space and within our hearts—as a dwelling for His presence. Worship is not merely an invitation but a command and a lifestyle that aligns with God’s character and name. Through worship, we grow in faith, encounter Jesus, and establish His name in our lives and communities. The message highlights that we, as believers, are God’s temple...

God has called us to stewardship. As believers we are at the centre of His redemptive plan for the earth (Gen 1:26-27). In this talk, we explore how He calls and commissions us to walk in this understanding (Josh 1:1-3), and contend in prayer as we respond to the challenges and issues we face on the way with courage and purposeful action in order to bridge the reality of the circumstances that con...

Who is Jesus? Was he a good teacher? Or maybe a prophet? Or was he the Son of God? As we look at the first of Jesus’ ‘I am’ statements found in the gospel of John, we find a wonderful answer to this question in the form of a metaphor – I am the bread of life! - We looked at the following points as it relates to the divine nature of the statement ‘I am the bread of life’ – discuss each one and what...

We are commissioned to go to the nations - including the one we live in and for the people we see everyday. No matter who we are, God has a part for us to play in giving everyone a chance to encounter his transformational love, and its why we are called to step into the second greatest command Jesus gives us to love our neighbours as ourselves.

Jesus demonstrates in his life, that as his disciples we will be moved to compassion for the multitude and moved to action for the one. As we look at a reality where nearly 40% of the world have still little or zero access to the good news of Jesus, some in the far reach places of the world, we are reminded in Matt 9 that the harvest is ripe! The question is how will we respond?

As we continue looking at the call to mission we unpack what it means to do mission as family, both as a church at Verso but also as part of the wider Vineyard movement.

Hearing power testimonies, that reveal the costly reality and extraordinary faith of believers who are being persecuted we are challenged to reflect upon the scriptures and what it means for each one of us to be a disciple of Jesus. There is a paradigm shift that Jesus brings to our worldview that requires a response. To live is Christ and to die is gain (Phil 1:21 ).

Kick starting our Mission series we will explore the why, what and how of mission embedded in God’s story and the impact on us as we steward the reach vision God has entrusted us with. We will discover how the bible provides a grounding framework and exhortation for everyone to step into taking their place in seeing the Great Commission fulfilled. • •

As we continue to explore the topic of money through the Parable of the Minas in Luke 19, we delve deeper into our role as stewards of God's possessions and the challenge Jesus presents as we await His return. • •

We don’t like to talk about money in church and yet the whole world talks about, with thousands of marketing messages a day bombarding us with the lie that we need to accumulate to spend on ourselves. Yet what does the bible say about money, if anything? As we look into the Bible we find out God’s blueprint for money in our lives and the promises for those who follow it.

How do you respond to a change in season? With excitement and hope or anxiety and dread? As we gear up for a new school term, Mark contrasts how the world would counsel us to approach it and how the Bible lays out our approach. Diving into the often mis-understood Book of Ecclesiastes, we see that ultimately, everything is Vanity! A message of hope!? You bet. • • #god #podcast #sundayservice #insp...

As the summer ends and we gear up for another year of routine, Prit spends looks at three lies we might believe that can stop us giving the Lord our "yes", and some truths about who God is and how He loves to work with us. • •

Are there times where you just don’t feel seen by anyone, let alone God? Join us this morning as we unpack Genesis 16 and are reminded that God is the God who sees – El Roi. • •

Journeying through John 4 and the women at Samaria’s encounter with Jesus, we become witnesses to impact (and challenge!) of the outrageous compassion of Jesus, that began with a simple question and ended in the transformation not of just one woman but many in Samaria. • •

Rom 12:2 says don’t be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your minds… We experience three transforming exchanges that renew our minds as we spend quality time in God’s presence : • Exchanging Imposter Syndrome for Position and Purpose • Exchanging Striving for Partnership and Pace • Exchanging Fear for Protection and Provision And as we are transformed, we are empowered...

As we continue in our Talk Series ‘Presence and Power’ Chris offers a whistle stop tour of why testimonies help us as individuals and as a church, specifically: • They give glory to Jesus • They declare who Jesus is • They build faith in Jesus

The New Testament church is a prophetic revelatory church, that is called to speak Gods words and release His Spirit. The only way to do this legitimately is through the cross. There is a counter power in the earth called witchcraft which seeks to obscure the work of the cross. • • What do you think about the statement that the end time church is a prophetic revelatory church? Do you think it is?...

What’s in a name? More than just a way to identify someone, a name represents the essence of someone – their nature, their position and even the authority they carry. As we continue to look at the Presence and Power of God, we see that there is a name which is above every name, and that name carries with it the very power of God, made available to all those who believe. And that name is? Jesus!

Are you looking for breakthrough in your life? The answer may very well be in the words you speak. We read in the bible that there is power of life and death in the words we speak and so as we continue in our Talk Series ‘Power and Presence’ we look at the power of our words and the importance of proclaiming God’s truth into our lives.

Within the heart of every one of us, God has placed a unique Hunger and passion for His presence and Power.  But live can be challenging and cause our hunger and passion for God to diminish. But God loves us abundantly and calls us to draw close to Him and as we do so, He draws closer to us. • •

What do we mean by the power of God in the lives of believers? What is the ‘source’ of this power, the ‘purpose’ of this power and the ‘why’ of this power. As we continue in our Talk Series ‘Presence and Power’ Mark walks through the first chapter of the letter to the Ephesians as we uncover the truth of God’s power in our lives.

The great Pastor and Theologian AW Tozer, once said ‘Within every human breast rages this desire, driving him forward. Many a person confuses the object of that desire and spends his or her entire life striving for the unobtainable. Very simply put, the great passion in the heart of every human being, who are created in the image of God, is to experience the awesome majesty of God’s presence.’ Doe...
