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.

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.

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.

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.

• 1 Corinthians 3:1–16
