Title: Am I Ready
Speaker: Pastor Steve Carr
Date: 11th March 2026
Location: Bendigo, Australia

"Are you ready? No one knows the day or the hour, but that's exactly the point."

Planning a mission trip to Africa is no simple exercise. It takes passports, visas, vaccinations, budgeting, and a very long checklist. In Episode 803, that real-world preparation becomes the backdrop for a deeper question: are you spiritually ready for the return of Jesus Christ? Drawing on current world events, including conflict in the Middle East, economic uncertainty, and global unrest, the message connects the signs of the times to the words of Jesus in Matthew 24, calling believers to stay watchful, prepared, and built up in the Lord.

From the Passover in Exodus 12, where Israel ate with their belts on and sandals tied, to the Parable of the Ten Virgins in Matthew 25, the episode unpacks what biblical readiness actually looks like in daily life. No one is given the exact hour of Christ's return, but believers are called to live as though it could be tonight. The parallel of Hezekiah in 2 Kings 20 adds another layer, showing what it looks like to walk uprightly before God so that when a crisis hits, your spiritual house is already in order.

The episode closes with 1 Peter 1 and the encouraging reminder that trials do not have to derail readiness. A new believer, Lucy, was baptised that very evening, a timely, live illustration that being born again is the foundation of everything. Whatever is coming next in the world, the call is clear: stay ready, keep your lamps burning, and hold firmly to the living hope of the resurrection.

3 Key Takeaways

1. World events including wars, economic instability, and geopolitical tension are signs of the times, but life continues as normal for most people. That contrast is exactly why personal spiritual readiness cannot be left to the last minute.
2. The Passover account in Exodus 12 is a striking picture of readiness: belt on, sandals on, staff in hand. The New Testament equivalent is having our lives girded with the truth of God's Word, born again and clothed in the blood of Jesus Christ.
3. Being born again through repentance, baptism, and the filling of the Holy Spirit is not just the beginning of the Christian life. It is the very foundation of being ready for the return of Jesus Christ.

Title: You are worthy
Speaker: Pastor Ward Young
Date: 15th March 2026
Location: Fresno, USA

This episode centres on the parable of the prodigal son and the deep assurance that God does not meet repentance with rejection, but with compassion, forgiveness, and joy. The message draws out the younger son’s sense of shame and failure, showing how easily people can feel unworthy before God, family, and even themselves. Yet the father’s response is one of welcome, restoration, and celebration.

The message also reflects on the older brother, revealing that unworthiness can show up in different ways, including resentment, self-justification, and failing to recognise what the Father has already given. From there, the focus turns to Revelation, where Jesus is revealed as the Lamb who is worthy. Because He is worthy, His people can come boldly to God in prayer, live as those redeemed by His blood, and stand with confidence as sons and daughters in His kingdom.

3 Key Points / Takeaways

• God’s response to true repentance is mercy, restoration, and joy, not rejection.  
• Feelings of unworthiness are answered by returning to the Father and remembering His love.
• Jesus is the worthy Lamb, and through Him God’s people are made accepted, prayerful, and confident in their calling.

Title: Blessed is he who is not offended in me
Speaker: Brian Pennington
Date: 8th April 2026
Location: Adelaide, Australia

This episode reflects on how Jesus spoke the truth plainly, even when it offended the religious leaders of His day. In Mark 7 and Matthew 15, the contrast is clear: the Pharisees were committed to outward tradition, while Jesus looked directly at the heart and exposed hypocrisy.  

The message then turns to the Syrophoenician woman, whose persistence and faith stood in sharp contrast to those who rejected the truth. Though tested, she kept pressing toward Jesus, trusting that He alone had the answer. The episode highlights the need to love the truth, stand on the Word of God, and refuse to be offended by the full gospel.  

3 Key Points or Takeaways

• Jesus did not soften the truth to avoid offending those who were hardened in tradition.  
• Real faith keeps pressing toward the Lord, even when tested.  
• The gospel calls for obedience, submission to God’s Word, and a refusal to compromise.

Title: Keeping our eyes on Jesus
Speaker: Pastor Phil Haddad
Date: 1st February 2026
Location: Adelaide, Australia

In this episode, the message centres on keeping our eyes on Jesus in a world full of noise, pressure, and distraction. It reflects on how easily life can pull our focus away through busyness, fear, hardship, or uncertainty, and reminds us that the Lord always calls us back to himself. Rather than trying to solve everything alone, the encouragement is to look to Jesus for wisdom, direction, and peace.  

Drawing from Hebrews, Isaiah, the Gospels, and the letters of Paul, this episode shows that Jesus is both the example and the answer. Just as he endured the cross with purpose, God’s people are called to stay fixed on him through every circumstance. The message also highlights the role of the Holy Spirit in helping us truly know Jesus, understand spiritual things, and keep moving forward with faith even when the way ahead feels narrow or unclear.  

Key points / takeaways

• Distraction does not always come through obvious sin; it can also come through busyness, pressure, and gradually drifting from the things of God.  
• Jesus is the author and finisher of faith, and his example teaches how to stay steady when life feels loud, uncertain, or painful.  
• The Holy Spirit enables people to truly know Jesus, understand spiritual truth, and find hope, direction, and strength in every season.

Title: Why unity matters
Speaker: Brendan Gloyn
Date: 2nd November 2025
Location: Adelaide, Australia

This episode centres on why unity matters in the church and in the life of every saint. Drawing mainly from Ephesians 4, it shows that division does not begin with circumstances but with the flesh: pride, self-interest, ambition, frustration, and bitterness. In contrast, true unity is shaped by humility, patience, love, and a shared submission to the leading of the Lord.  

The message also highlights that a strong walk with the Lord and a strong connection to the body of Christ must go together. A person cannot thrive on private devotion alone while neglecting fellowship, and a church cannot remain healthy without a common spiritual vision. Where God’s people move together in faith, truth, and love, the body is strengthened, the church is built up, and the power of God is evident.  

Finally, the episode points to the bigger purpose of unity: to reflect God’s nature, preserve the health of the church, and prepare God’s people for His coming kingdom. It is a clear call to put away pride and selfish ambition, to value the role each person plays in the body, and to let Christ lead both individual lives and the fellowship as a whole.  

3 Key Points / Takeaways

1. Division is driven by pride, selfish ambition, and the desires of the flesh, while unity grows through humility, patience, and love.
2. A healthy spiritual life requires both a personal walk with Jesus Christ and an active connection to the body of Christ.
3. Unity in the church is essential because it strengthens God’s people, supports the work of the gospel, and reflects the order and purpose of God.

Title: Confidence in God
Speaker: Pastor Mark Wickstein
Date: 26th October 2025
Location: Adelaide, Australia

This episode looks at confidence and spiritual vision through the promises of God. Using Matthew 16 and a range of Old and New Testament passages, it shows that true confidence is not self-belief, but a settled trust in the Lord, in His plan, and in the truth of salvation. The message draws attention to the church as the people God is building, with Jesus Christ as the true foundation and every saint as part of that living work.  

It also highlights how God reveals Himself as the one who heals, provides, and makes people righteous. Through examples like Abraham, Esther, Moses, and Gideon, the episode shows that confidence grows when God’s people act in faith, even when circumstances feel uncertain. It is a steady reminder that the Lord is present, faithful, and still working through His people today.  

3 Key Points or Takeaways

• True confidence comes from faith in God, not in natural strength or circumstances.
• Spiritual vision helps God’s people see His plan, His church, and their place within it.
• The Lord is still the one who provides, heals, strengthens, and equips His people to contribute to His work.

Title: Among the prophets
Speaker: Pastor David Kschammer
Date: 29th March 2026
Location: Adelaide, Australia

This episode looks at the early life of Saul and the well-known question, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”, drawing out how God takes an ordinary person and sets them apart for something far greater. Through Saul’s calling, anointing, and transformation, the message shows how the Lord confirms His purpose with clear evidence, provision, and spiritual power.  

The episode also connects Saul’s experience with the calling of believers today. Just as Saul was turned into “another man,” the talk points to the work of the Holy Spirit in changing a person’s life, lifting them out of trivial things and into the things of God. It is a clear and faith-building message about salvation, obedience, and the visible evidence of God at work in His people.  

Key Points / Takeaways

• God often calls ordinary people from ordinary circumstances and gives them a greater purpose.  
• The Holy Spirit brings real change, giving power, understanding, courage, and a clear witness.  
• Salvation is not presented as theory alone, but as something confirmed by obedience and the signs that follow belief.

Title: Luke and Theophilus
Speaker: Peter Goodrich
Date: 8th February 2026
Location: Adelaide, Australia

This episode follows the account of Luke writing to Theophilus, a man who appears sincere and thoughtful, yet lacking full certainty. Through Luke’s careful retelling of Christ’s life, the message centres on how God meets people in that gap between belief and confidence, not with condemnation, but with truth, patience and purpose.

Drawing on the widow of Zarephath, Simon carrying the cross, and the father who cried, “Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief,” the episode shows that faith is often formed in pressure, grief and unanswered questions. It points clearly to the purpose of Christ’s death and resurrection: that people from every background might receive the Holy Ghost and find real assurance in God.

3 Takeaways

• Luke’s writings to Theophilus show that God takes uncertainty seriously and answers it through the life and purpose of Jesus Christ.
• The gospel is not limited by status, background or worthiness; it reaches those who feel outside, overlooked or unsure.
• The goal of the gospel account is not mere information, but a life changed through the Holy Ghost, baptism, and confidence in Christ.

Reference Scriptures Used

• Luke 1:1–4

• Luke 4:16–30

Title: Forgiveness and Restoration
Speaker: Pastor Michael Nagy
Date: 5th October 2025
Location: Canberra, Australia

This episode centres on the prodigal son and the wider theme of forgiveness as part of God’s covenant through Jesus Christ. Drawing from Hebrews 10 and Luke 15, it shows that forgiveness is not reluctant or partial. God does not merely tolerate repentance; He welcomes it, restores what was broken, and rejoices when what was lost is found.  

The message moves through the three restoration stories in Luke 15 — the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son — to show the same pattern each time: something is lost, diligently sought, joy follows its return, and heaven rejoices over repentance. The prodigal son becomes the clearest picture of this, revealing both the depth of human failure and the overwhelming compassion of the Father.

A strong thread through the episode is the difference between conviction and condemnation. Conviction leads a person back to God with honesty and change, while condemnation keeps pointing the finger and trying to lock the past in place. Through the blood of Jesus Christ, repentance leads to peace, renewed confidence before God, and full restoration into fellowship.

3 Key Points / Takeaways

• Forgiveness is part of God’s covenant, made possible through Jesus Christ, and He remembers confessed sins no more.
• Luke 15 shows that heaven rejoices when the lost are restored, whether pictured as a sheep, a coin, or a son.
• Repentance brings fruit: peace, renewed confidence before God, and freedom from condemnation.

• Luke 15:3–7

Title: Building the Temple
Speaker: Pastor Simon Pearce
Date: 1st March 2026
Location: Adelaide, Australia

This episode explores the message from the book of Haggai and connects it with New Testament teaching about the people of God being the living temple today. Just as the returning Israelites were called to rebuild the physical temple after years of neglect, believers are reminded to stay focused on the spiritual work God has given them. Distractions, personal priorities, and conflict can easily shift attention away from the purpose of building up the house of God.  

The message highlights that each person is a “lively stone” in the spiritual temple, called to contribute through faithfulness, humility, and care for others. Rather than striving, pride, or division, the work of God grows through unity, prayer, compassion, and sharing the gospel. The encouragement is simple and direct: stay focused on Christ, support one another, and continue building what God is preparing for eternity.

Key Points / Takeaways

• Believers are the living temple of God, each person a “lively stone” contributing to the spiritual house.
• Distractions such as pride, division, and personal ambition can hinder the work God has called His people to do.
• Building the temple today means helping others come to salvation and strengthening one another in faith.

Reference Scriptures

• Haggai 1:1–7
• 1 Corinthians 3:1–16
• 1 Peter 2:5
• Ephesians 6:12
• Matthew 25:31–40
