Centre Church Podcast

As believers, we live for the audience of one; God! Rather than living for the approval of others, we live to serve and proclaim all that Christ is. Paul encouraged the young leader Timothy to persevere in his calling to preach Christ. That same encouragement is also true for us - to not follow our own desires but embrace the message of Christ fully!

In this world, we can forget the value of something that has been entrusted through generations. The same is true of Scripture. To stand for Jesus does not mean that we should go with the flow. God has called us to live for Him, not for ourselves. When we begin to grasp Scripture, it's origin, value and effect, we can start to realise how pertinent it is to the very lives we live.

Being a believer is difficult. Jesus never said following Him would be easy. For this reason, we must be wary of the world we live in, its influence and pull, as well as how to navigate as faithful servants of Christ. As we continue our series, Tyler breaks down the key instructions Paul gave Timothy to continue on in a fallen world and how they equally apply to us.

Climate change is not a new agenda but one that can often be overlooked. Similarly, the state of our inner climate can often be forgotten as we navigate each and every day. As we continue our series, we focus on three key questions that challenge us to look within and assess whether or not our inner being is well maintained.

If you follow a pattern you should reach or achieve the final result that the pattern was intended for. However, failure to follow the pattern will mean the result won't be as intended. As we continue our series, we uncover the value of following the pattern of "sound teaching" that enables us to live out our faith effectively and, as a result, also build and equip others up in their faith.

Many are abandoning the Gospel! The Apostle Paul did not want it to die in his hands, so he passed it over to Timothy to carry it on. As believers, we are called to not be ashamed of the Gospel we hold to, but be willing to suffer for it to be proclaimed - for it is the power of God and life-giving! Why not take a listen as Wish continues our series in 2 Timothy!

Timothy had been entrusted with a sincere faith that had been passed down through his family line - something that was genuine and real; a relationship with Jesus! What do we do with that which we have been entrusted with? In this opening week, Tyler shares the responsibility we have to fan into flame the gift of God which has been deposited in each of our lives.

We are called to give! However, giving is often felt as a "must do" rather than a "want to!" What does it mean to excel in the grace of giving? Are we willing to grow, learn and develop in this act? In our final message in this series, we are challenged to understand the concept of giving from a different standpoint and value how it's an intricate part in who we are in Christ!

When we put our faith in God, we come to know that we all have been called to do a specific function as He has appointed. Though we may not feel able or even feel out of our comfort zone, God equips us to walk in that calling, which is for one purpose - to build His house!

In life we are bound by old constraints or, in other words, "the sin that so easily entangles us!" However, we know through God's Word that "where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom!" What do we do with this freedom, which is received when we believe by faith? Tyler brings insight in this weeks message!

It can be stated that pretty much all things have a design process behind them. When we look at the church, what is God’s design for His collective body? In this opening message of this series, Thomas shares foundational understanding of how we are all “Designed for More!”

Commit is a big word! Often, we can segment boxes of aspects of our lives, refraining ourselves from allowing God into these spaces. In the final message of this series, we learn the essential nature of committing and trusting all things unto God, and the potential benefit and outcome as a result.

We were created to enjoy pleasure. It is a natural instinct to want to have enjoyment so much so that we often long to see that pleasure fulfilled through different means. As we continue our series, we are challenged to find our greatest pleasure in God alone rather than the things of this world that are only temporary!

Trust in the Lord is a statement that can be seen on numerous occasions throughout Scripture. This action is easier said than done as quite often we display trust in material solutions or things that are not entirely secure in the long run. As we continue our series in Psalms 37, we look at why trusting in God is a good thing!

For children, being still is a challenge. However, the same can also be said of many of us who find it challenging to wait on the Lord. How do we quieten ourselves in His presence and what would this achieve? Tyler begins our series on Psalms 37 by unpacking this thought.

It can be natural to fix our eyes on the storms of life and become overwhelmed by what we see. This week, Marco encourages us to change our focus and walk to Jesus.

Sometimes it can be hard how to move forward if we're unsure if God is leading us. Tyler concludes our series by sharing the steps Gideon took to follow God's instruction.

There is a constant competition in our hearts on who or what dominates our time. This week, Tyler challenges us to recognise what draws attention away from God so we can realign our focus on Him.

God can easily answer our prayers in an instant. However, He often responds by calling people to work alongside Him. In this first week, Tyler introduces us to Gideon who, to many, would be considered an unlikely hero.

We have all been given a currency of time in which we choose how to spend. How do you spend time? Do you make the most of it? Tyler uncovers key aspects on this subject.
