On this Day of Pentecost, the global Church celebrates its birth, as recorded in Acts 2. It's a fitting moment for Emily and Sarah to reflect on the 'Quiet Revival'—a recent report that declares how God appears to be moving across the UK.

In this second part of Daniel's talk, he looks at the temptation of Jesus. What did Jesus do when he faced challenge? How did Jesus respond with difficulty in the walk of faith? Can I do the same?

Do you think that being a follower of Jesus should be carefree? What if you feel ups and downs? This is PART 1 of a message in which Daniel describes normal and natural stages in a life of faith, using the apostle Peter as an example..

Daniel finishes the series from the book of Matthew with great news: Jesus is alive and has started his kingdom -- and it's even bigger than you imagined. Are you sure? Can I be involved?

This message covers Matthew's account of the humble approach of Jesus into Jerusalem. Diane recounts the life, words, and actions of a Messiah whose kingdom has been launched in a most unexpected manner.

The series on the book of Matthew is nearly complete with Daniel's talk. He describes how the first followers of Jesus had a bit of adjusting to get on course with Jesus' plan. What can we do to keep on course with Jesus?

Emily brings a message that describes the "point of no return" for the revolutionary kingdom of Jesus. While early in his ministry he told people not to declare who He is, in these chapters we see the boldness of Jesus -- challenging followers to live fruitfully in a right relationship with God.

This week Aaron pulls out qualities that Jesus uses to describe His revolutionary kingdom. Who is invited to join? How should we live in that kingdom? Why is forgiveness so important? Listen in to find out.

Jesus as Messiah King turned out to be different than expected. His revolutionary ways do not require force. Would you follow this kind of king? (apologies for missing the first few minutes)

Who is included in your family? Jesus had a broader definition of who 'family' is than just blood relatives. This week Don explains what family is, and how that family operates like a lifeboat.

In these couple of chapters, Daniel describes how Jesus has authority, and it appears to be over EVERYTHING! Then, Jesus appears to delegate that to others as well. But to whom....?

Some of the most well-known words of Jesus are what is called The Lord's Prayer. Diane walks us through it and makes us think about how meaningful this prayer is.

A MANIFESTO is a written declaration of the intentions, motives, or views of the issuer. Emily explores the words of Jesus in what has historically been called "The Sermon on the Mount". These chapters declare the intentions, motives, and views of Jesus.

Daniel launches into the series on the book of MATTHEW. The aim of the series is to remember well who Jesus is and what he is doing. One of the key things Jesus is doing is inviting every person into a FAMILY, and inviting every person to join a REVOLUTION. Really...?!

We are well into the Christmas season and Daniel looks at the first account of the birth of Jesus. The Messiah finally arrived, but how does that help me?

GVC friend Jo Pestell shares from her favourite gospel: John. Waltzing through portions of the life of Jesus, we see the disciples following Jesus. What they learn helps us answer the question of what He hopes for us.

Everyone loves a good story. Emily explores the story of the people of Israel in a lesson for today: Do you know the story of God? How has that story impacted your story? Do you remember God's goodness?

This week Don reflects on a relationship with God. That friendship involves worship -- proper, meaningful worship. What might be getting in the way of my worship of the One who loves me most?

Ben opens three chapters of 1 Corinthians to suggest that culture affects how we relate to others, especially those in our church. Could the Apostle Paul's challenges to attitudes in the ancient Corinthian church help us with attitudes in our modern, 21st century church?

This week Diane looks at the words of Paul as he writes from prison to the Christians in Colossae. The descriptions of who Jesus is and what He is doing in the world can bring us hope and joy.

As Daniel explores this passage, we see the amazing work of Jesus. Yet, it's also an aspiration for this church, and each of us as Christ followers. Listen in to find out what is "F.A.S.T." and "H.G.V." (part 3 of 3)

We sometimes hear that the church is irrelevant and wonder if God is working. Daniel describes some of his recent experiences with friends and looks at some words of Jesus that describe what God's kingdom growth looks like. (part 2 of 3)

What is your understanding of what God is like? Does your opinion match with what the Bible says? Diane looks at this well-known chapter to help us understand rightly God's love and how He hopes we will love others.

Claire starts with the early verses of Isaiah 42 to talk about selflessness, generosity, and our God-given opportunity to help others.

Do you have a fear of missing out? What is the good life that you are looking for? This week Ben describes a church family from long ago that was having conflict and misplaced values on how the good life is found.

The idea of LOVE is expressed in all kinds of songs, in every genre of music. But what is love? In this message, Diane works with part of Paul's letter to the Corinthian Christians to describe God's love -- a better kind of love than is often seen around us.

GVC friend, Matt, shares about the wonderful work of WORLD VISION. The goal of its global efforts start with this prayer: "Let my heart be broken by the things that break the heart of God." Matt goes on to share about God's great restoration work in Uganda.

Our friend, Wes, from Golden Valley Church shared from Genesis 1. It says that in creation Spirit hovered over the water. What does that mean? There is actually encouragement for us right now as God moves in our lives. How do you welcome God's work in every area of your life?

Are you a 'Don't worry. Be happy" kind of a person? Or, are you a 'prepper', doing everything you can in preparation for any eventuality? Or, do you wrap your whole life experience in cotton wool in response to the world's assaults? In today's talk, Claire challenges us to a better way -- the way of Jesus.…
