AWAKENED - The Living Room Church Podcast

We're thrilled to have Steve Brown, Pastor of Torquay Christian Fellowship, sharing his heart with us.God is building something beautiful, and in this message, you will hear how we can all build on the unity that Jesus has made possible.

Since creation, spirituality has always been a significant part of the human experience. God always intended for us to interact with Him without the physical barriers that we wrestle with today. But here lies a big problem...the physical realm seems to be the only reality that most people pay attention to, ignoring how significant the spiritual reality is. In this message, we will look at what Jesus has to say about our spirituality and confront the things that can get in the way.

THE CHURCH is a funny old thing, sometimes hot, sometimes cold, but often confused and struggling to find her place in this world. So, what did Jesus have in mind when He said, “...I will build My Church...”? In this message, we seek to capture the heart behind Jesus’ intention and purpose for building His Church and why it is vitally important that we don’t misunderstand His words.

We live in a culture where so much of humanity is gripped by an identity crisis. People are identifying as so many different things, but shouldn’t we be going to the One who created us to find out who we really are? In this message, we are reminded of the identity that Jesus came to save us into, an identity that flows into every aspect of life.

Jesus has a lot to say about how we love those around us. We all know how this love can be tested and stretched, so we should learn from Jesus so that we are people of grace, mercy, and forgiveness. In this message, we dive into the everyday circumstances that give us an opportunity to love people as Jesus loves us.

We are all impacted by the world around us. We are tempted to follow various ideas and opinions and many of them are in direct opposition to the Truth of Jesus. In this message, we begin this important series with a clear call to follow Jesus and embrace His Way!

Our world’s greatest, most amazing day is yet to come. At a time when all hope seems lost all will turn their faces to the sky and see Jesus descending to earth, followed by His raptured saints and angelic armies. What a day that will be...the return of our King! This message brings this series to a close with the most action-packed and earth-shaking events of the End Times calendar.

The world after the Rapture will be unlike anything humanity has ever seen or experienced. The revealing of the Man of Evil (Anti-Christ) and the progression into the Tribulation will bring seven years of intense suffering, misery and trouble. In this message, we dig into this period of time and highlight the amazing grace of God who lovingly gives the world a final opportunity to hear the Gospel and turn to Jesus before it is too late. 

There is a great day coming – the Rapture! In this second part of our series “Almost Home” we are diving into this mysterious and yet highly anticipated event when the followers of Jesus will be suddenly caught up from this earth into the heavens to be finally home with Jesus. Oh what a day that will be!

To the Christian, everything that is most precious to us is in Heaven. Either through death, or by the fulfillment of Jesus’ call for us to join Him in the air, there is coming a day when we will pass through the thin veil of this earthly life and see Jesus face-to face...oh what a day that will be! In this first message in the series “Almost Home – End Times Promises”, we look at the end and embrace the hope of our promised destination.
