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.

Title: Active In The Lord
Speaker: Pastor Simon Pearce

In this episode, our speaker draws from Luke 21, Matthew 25 and the Book of Acts to show why Spirit-filled believers are meant to do more than attend meetings. We recharge in fellowship, but we’re called to lift our heads, speak the gospel and serve as true ambassadors for Christ as the world edges toward its final chapter.

Using the parable of the talents, Paul’s dramatic conversion and Israel’s crossing of the Red Sea, he reminds us that God equips every believer, expects growth and makes a way when obstacles loom large. The challenge is clear: stay alert, lean on His power and stay active in the Lord until His return.

Key takeaways

1. The Holy Spirit equips us to act, not sit—share the gospel wherever you go.
2. Faith grows when we invest our “talents” rather than hiding them.
3. God parts seas for those who step forward; courage follows obedience.
