Week 8 at our RVTLS Service on Sunday our Lead Pastor, Joel A'Bell, continues his series, Wake Up The Neighbourhood! #wakeuptheneighbourhood is about what is happening in us when God sits on the invisible throne of our lives! 

What happens when God's people are fully empowered to minister one to another? This week Joel and Julia A'Bell chat to Michael & Kirstin Geerling from New Life Chapel in Albury–Wodonga about the healthy and unhealthy expectations of pastoring a local church.

People don't care what it's called, they just want community and connection. This week Joel and Julia A'Bell talk about the significance of small beginnings and what it means to take shame 'off' people. 

What's most important isn't a mistake free experience, it's God in our midst. This week our Lead Pastors, Joel and Julia A'Bell, talk through how we are developing a groundswell for launch.

This is the first ever message preached at the first ever RVTLS service. Our Lead Pastor, Joel A'Bell, talks about how God sees something when we see nothing, God needs nothing to do something and we must embrace nothing when we're waiting for something.

Something spiritual needs to take place on the inside when we gather. Joel and Julia encourage us this week to not get so worried about 'perfect' when the greater prize is 'hearts knitted together' in authentic community.

It's a mixed bag this week. Joel and Julia talk about everything from 'defining success' to the backend of pioneering (buildings, policies, database, insurance, communications) and our very first start up party!

Things of the Spirit can't be organised into being, they must be born. Joel and Julia talk this week about how our church is being birthed in miracles.

Names determine nature so what we call something is really important. Joel and Julia kick things off by talking about how they captured their vision and values in a name.
