Vision 2026: Stepping In

from Riverlife Messages · host Jo Leutton, Riverlife Baptist Church

We've all been there—thinking "I really should pray more" or "I'd love to serve somewhere"—but somehow never quite getting around to it. Pastor Jo gets real about the gap between our good intentions and actually doing something about them, and spoiler alert: you're not alone in this struggle!In this third week of the Vision series, Jo unpacks what it truly means to be part of the church (hint: it's not about the building). Using powerful imagery from Matthew 16 and 1 Corinthians 12, he paints a picture of the church as a body where every single person—yes, even you—has an essential role to play.The message explores five practical areas where we can move from intention to action: connecting with others, serving in ministry, engaging in church life, giving generously, and growing deeper in faith. Joe reminds us that we're not just bricks in a building or random body parts floating around—we're carefully placed by God himself, each one valuable and necessary.Bible Verses Referenced:Matthew 16:13-201 Peter 2:4-51 Corinthians 12:12-31Hebrews 11  CONNECT WITH RIVERLIFE CHURCH HERE ATInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/riverlifebaptistchurchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/RiverlifeBaptistChurchWebsite: https://riverlifechurch.org.au

Women with Dyslexia Podcast: Living the Gospel with Power Hope B This podcast is designed for women with dyslexia who believe that God can do something new. The Apostle Paul says that we are transformed by renewing our minds to do what pleases the LORD, which is His will. When our minds are renewed (neuroscientists call this neuroplasticity), we are transformed. This podcast will contain short biblical messages designed to replace our old negative thinking with the truth found in God’s word. It is devoted to encouraging and inspiring adult women with dyslexia by listening to biblical truths that will uplift and challenge them to find a place for dyslexia in their lives and let Christ take center stage of their lives. To benefit from these short yet powerful messages, I recommend making these podcasts part of your morning and evening time with the Lord. Thank you for joining me.
