St Andrews Church Geraldine‘s Podcast

In Luke 5:17–26, a group of friends carry a paralysed man to Jesus, refusing to let the crowd stop them. Their faith reminds us that faith is personal but never merely private: sometimes we need others to carry us towards Jesus. Yet Jesus gives the man something even greater than physical healing—forgiveness—and then heals him to show that he truly possesses the authority of God. This passage calls us to carry others to Jesus, treasure his forgiveness above every other gift, and trust our lives to his compassionate authority.

The Gospel of Christ creates a Spirit-filled people, whose shared life in community demonstrates most convincingly the reality of Christ to the world.
I urge you to give yourself fully to being a living, breathing, committed, conscientious, everyday working part of this imperfect, but powerful, community known as St Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Geraldine.
Please try to live as an integral part of it!
Please don’t try to live apart from it.Acts 2:42-47

Romans 3:21-26

Through Jesus’ conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well, we will explore how ordinary conversations can become opportunities for God to work. Jesus crosses social barriers, begins with everyday life, listens patiently, speaks with grace and truth, and gently leads the conversation towards faith. We may not have every answer or see an immediate response, but we can sincerely share what Jesus has done, invite people to “come and see,” and leave the results with God.John 4:4–42

Isaiah 65:17–25 & Revelation 20:1-10

As we read the entirety of God's Word we discover the origins of 'Babylon the Great' beginning in Genesis 11 with the famous Tower of Babel built in this great city.  It continues throughout history, significantly in the time of King Nebuchadnezzar, resurfacing recently in the contemporary rebuilding of this ancient city and in Revelation we hear of its corruption and final destruction.  It is defined as a person, a place and a world system.  It infiltrates every part of our lives and stands in defiance against God's heavenly kingdom.  While it may be impossible to be completely free from such a worldly influence, we are foreigners to this world, waiting in great expectation for God's coming kingdom where “There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” (Rev 21:4)Gen 11:1-9; Rev 17:1-6 & 18:9-13
