podcast@saturdayev.com (Saturday EV) — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 21:46:51 +1100

"That is why the world hates you" says Jesus. Why is he saying this? Why will they hate us? How should we respond? Grahame speaks about the reality of persecution in the life of the Christian.

John 14 - 16 'Spirit Filled Christians'

podcast@saturdayev.com (Saturday EV) — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 07:47:48 +1100

So what does a spirit filled Christian look like? Charismatic in their behaviour? Speaks in tongues, prophesies and heals? Maybe, but the bible's says it's someone who reads their bible, understands and does what it says by the power of the Spirit!

John 14:15-31 'Indwelling & Peace'

podcast@saturdayev.com (Saturday EV) — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 20:57:22 +1100

Jesus is about to die and return to the Father in heaven - but they're both coming back with the Holy Spirit to set up camp in anyone who bows down before Jesus as Lord. So what's the deal with one God being three persons? Have a listen...

John 14:1-14 'Departure & Comfort'

podcast@saturdayev.com (Saturday EV) — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 20:36:44 +1100

Jesus claims he is the only way to the one true God - a pretty arrogant and offensive claim in our culture. But if he's telling the truth, it's the most compassionate and loving statement you'll ever hear.

John 13 'Servanthood & Betrayal'

podcast@saturdayev.com (Saturday EV) — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 20:37:06 +1100

The God of the universe gets down on His knees and serves humans - Jesus washes His disciples' feet. But there's more to the foot-washing that meets the eye...

John 12 'Adoration and Unbelief'

podcast@saturdayev.com (Saturday EV) — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 21:29:57 +1100

What kind of Jesus do you follow? One that just wants you to enjoy the life he's given you, or the Jesus of the bible who asks you to give up your life in this world for him in order to gain eternal life with him?

A glorious death

podcast@saturdayev.com (Saturday EV) — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 22:11:14 +1100

Jesus died in the most bloody, brutal way imaginable. How come Christians see it as glorious? Because Jesus says it is. Have a listen and find out why!

How come the good times always have to end?

podcast@saturdayev.com (Saturday EV) — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 20:28:37 +1100

You might live to try and make a difference, or maybe you just want to suck all the pleasure out of life you can, but it all passes away, and even the best times end too quickly. Does Jesus have a way past the futility and frustration?

Romans 5:1-11 'How come we have more friends but less friendship?'

podcast@saturdayev.com (Saturday EV) — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 21:33:30 +1100

Romans 1:18-25 'How come the more we have the more we want?'

podcast@saturdayev.com (Saturday EV) — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 09:19:53 +1100

Most of us have worked out that money and things don't completely satisfy us, yet we still consume like our life depends on it. How come? The bible has answers and Jesus has the ultimate goods.

Romans 8:18-27 'How come God doesn't stop all the pain?'

podcast@saturdayev.com (Saturday EV) — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 09:26:55 +1100

You don't have to look far to see suffering. So how can a good God who's in control allow it to happen? Believe it or not, it's part of His plan. But there's solid hope in the plan for the children of God. Hope so good you'll look past your suffering.

Ephesians 1 'On Mission for Jesus'

podcast@saturdayev.com (Saturday EV) — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 09:43:34 +1100

A new year is a good time to reflect. Grahame Fuller preaches from 2 Timothy 4, relating the last words of the apostle Paul to the realities of the Christian life. What areas do you need to work in 2010 to live a more single-minded life for Jesus?

James 5:13-20 'Pray Like Rain'

podcast@saturdayev.com (Saturday EV) — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 09:11:03 +1100

How's your prayer life? Do you lock it into your daily routine or just sing out when something's up? The bible calls us to pray at all times - when we're in trouble, happy, sick and everywhere in-between. Prayer is a gift...accept it and use it!

James 5: 7-12 'Be patient!'

podcast@saturdayev.com (Saturday EV) — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 14:18:42 +1100

Patience is a big deal in the new testament. Christians need to understand all the blessings we have in Jesus NOW. But we also need to realise what lies ahead, on the day of our Lord's return. Be patient through the hard stuff in this life, it's WORTH IT!

James 4:13 5:6 'Warning'

podcast@saturdayev.com (Saturday EV) — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 14:18:41 +1100

Ready for some perspective? This passage tells us our life is a mist - here one minute, gone the next! But take comfort - God made our mist and whilst we're here for an insignificant amount of time, we have a significant purpose. Do you know what it is?

James 3:1-18 'Mouth to Mouth'

podcast@saturdayev.com (Saturday EV) — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 14:18:40 +1100

What comes out of our mouth doesn't just REFLECT how we're going, it EFFECTS how we're going. Watch your tongue and study your heart - you'll be held accountable for every word!

podcast@saturdayev.com (Saturday EV) — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 14:18:37 +1100

James 2:14-26 'Resucitate Your Faith'

podcast@saturdayev.com (Saturday EV) — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 14:18:36 +1100

Talk about a confronting passage of scripture! James tells us there are two kinds of faith in Jesus – one that is no different to demons and leads to hell – and another that God recognises by it's actions and saves. Which faith do you have?

James 1:19-27 "Listen and Live"

podcast@saturdayev.com (Saturday EV) — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 14:18:35 +1100

It doesn't matter how deep YOU get into the word - if you don't let IT deep into you and change you, you've missed the big idea. This is a challenging chunk of scripture - take it on and let it change you to be more like Jesus!

James 1:1-18 'Thickening the Blood'

podcast@saturdayev.com (Saturday EV) — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 14:18:33 +1100

Tim kicks off our new series VITALS, from the book of James, with the first of many spiritual check-ups to come. Do you trust God's goodness in times of trial, believing you'll grow closer to him? Or do you blame and doubt God, moving further from him?

Romans 5:1-11 'Beyond'

podcast@saturdayev.com (Saturday EV) — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 14:18:31 +1100

To be a Christian is to be at peace with God, stand under his grace and have hope beyond this life - trusting that God is good and that suffering is something we rejoice in - yes really!

Ephesians 6:10-24 'New Battle'

podcast@saturdayev.com (Saturday EV) — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 14:18:30 +1100

So you've been saved by Jesus - no longer enslaved, dead and condemned...but life ain't easy hey! We're up against a real enemy - Satan - fighting a real battle. But fear not! Jesus has won and given us armour to survive till the day he finishes him off.

Ephesians 6:1-9 'New Relationships'

podcast@saturdayev.com (Saturday EV) — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 14:18:28 +1100

Is your job, relationship or situation boring, hard, messy or seemingly meaningless? If you're in Jesus, then your work is given profound meaning, by realising your work is for him and it's only for a short time - there's a far greater reality ahead!

Ephesians 5:21-33 'New Marriages'

podcast@saturdayev.com (Saturday EV) — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 14:18:27 +1100

Christians should do marriage differently - marriages that are counter cultural and politically incorrect, where the wife willingly submits to the loving, sacrificial, Christ-like leadership of the husband - both as equals before God. Hubys - listen up!

Ephesians 5:3-21 'New Identity'

podcast@saturdayev.com (Saturday EV) — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 14:18:26 +1100

Paul continues to make clear what the new life of a Christian should look like (and not look like). Are you like a cockroach attracted to darkness or a moth attracted to light?

Ephesians 4:25-5:2 'New Way'

podcast@saturdayev.com (Saturday EV) — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 14:18:25 +1100

Paul has previously laid out the spiritual blessings for those in Christ. Now he gives us a bunch of things to get rid of in our new lives, not to earn our salvation - but in response to it.

Ephesians 4:4-16 'New Growth'

podcast@saturdayev.com (Saturday EV) — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 14:18:22 +1100

Tim takes us through a timely passage on our 2nd b'day - growing up! So how does this happen as a church? We get to work using the gifts Jesus has given us. Have you thought about what your gifts are and if you're using them to glorify yourself or Jesus?

Ephesians 4:17-24 'New Self'

podcast@saturdayev.com (Saturday EV) — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 14:18:22 +1100

If you're saved by Jesus, do you remember when your heart used to be hard, your mind was ignorant and you were dead to God? Have you not just received Jesus' salvation but put off your old self, done a 180 and followed him as Lord?

Ephesians 4:1-6 'One New People'

podcast@saturdayev.com (Saturday EV) — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 14:18:21 +1100

Andrew Heard helps us re-think what church is: not something we have to do to be saved by God, not an optional extra to believing in God - but a gathering at the heart of God's glory, held up to the entire universe claiming the victory of Jesus!

Ephesians 2:1-10 'New Life'

podcast@saturdayev.com (Saturday EV) — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 14:18:21 +1100

This passage is heavy! We get a clear, disturbing picture of what people look like before being rescued by God: spiritually dead, enslaved to evil, condemned, walking zombies. But God is gracious - He makes dead people alive. Are you dead or alive to God?

podcast@saturdayev.com (Saturday EV) — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 14:18:18 +1100
