This podcast’s theme is Encounter, summarising Christianity’s ‘value proposition’. It’s about encounters with Jesus and with others, encounters that bring deep connections and unexpected outcomes.

Things we can say together - Encounter

This week, Paul explores how Christian unity is discovered and expressed in variety, not conformity or uniformity. Drawing on inspiration from how an orchestra operates and Ephesians 4, he invites the church to embrace our differences to become who God is shaping us to be.    Ephesians 4:4-7 (Msg)  You were all called to travel on the same road and in the same direction, so stay together, both outwardly and inwardly. You have one Master, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who rules over all, works through all, and is present in all. Everything you are and think and do is permeated with Oneness. But that doesn’t mean you should all look and speak and act the same. Out of the generosity of Christ, each of us is given his own gift.

Things we can say together Series - Unity (Variety) not Disunity (Judgement)

What is our Spiritual Fingerprint and how does this identify Liquid as a Church? Tonight Paul Cameron leads us as we continue to unpack and explore our heritage and identity; and where we are headed during this transitional season at Liquid.  

Liquid Church - Who are we (rediscovering our Spiritual identity)

In this message, Paul shares the importance of hospitality as he invites us to reflect on the open invitation to the communion table extended to us from Jesus our Lord. 

Things we can say together - An open Invitation to the Communion Table

Carey Nieuwhof wrote recently, “In 2020 we thought we were running a marathon. Just when we thought we were finished, someone handed us a bike and swimming togs. Then 2021 revealed that actually, it’s not a triathlon, it’s an Ironman…”   In this episode, Paul encouraged us to explore these two questions. As we reflected on the how weariness can drain us and the importance of awe.    Thinking of our shared COVID-19, pandemic, corona-coaster experience in 2020-2021— 1. What has been your toughest moment, your most disappointing, frustrating, and/or energy-draining episode? What might you be happy to say goodbye to?   2. Where have you experienced (or seen) God at work, personally, in your family, or closely around you? What have you surprisingly enjoyed? What might you miss and/or like to maintain?

Weary - Awe

In this Episode, Paul continues 'Things we can say together' as we discuss the role and names of the church.  Ephesians 3:10-11, Acts 2:43-47 The church isn’t merely an event, something we go to; it is who we are; at times, we may be the ‘gathered church’, in what is really a short coffee break in life, because most of the time we are the ‘scattered church’, being a sign, witness and foretaste of the Kingdom wherever we find ourselves 24/7/365; that’s because we don’t exist for us, to meet our needs—but we exist for the world, to meet the world’s needs, starting but not ending with meaning and purpose, restoration and reconciliation and hope…the mission of the church cannot be properly understood or expressed apart from the Kingdom…but maybe more of that some other time... This podcast is an extract from our online church gathering on August 29, 2021.  

Things we can say together - The Church

In Paul’s message he shares about what it means to belong together without labels. Looking at Ephesians 2:11 (The Message) Paul discusses that no matter the labels that have been placed on us, our relationship with God allows us to see the true value of having our lives intertwined with His. 

Guest Speaker - Paul Cameron - A New Family (No Labels)

In this message Steve Sutton from Bayview Church explores the original narrative of the Bible and its relevance to the Church. This message unpacks an alternative perspective on how we as the Church can interpret the Bible and the Hope for the Church of the future.

Guest Speaker - Steve Sutton - God's Big Idea

In this message Wynand shares about the importance of rest and what we can learn when we look at the life of Christ. Contrasting moments from the lives of Moses, Elijah & Jonah and he reminds us of the need of taking a breath and rest in God. 

Following Jesus - Following the Rhythms of Jesus

On Sunday Wynand introduced our new series on following Jesus. In this world we are being discipled to live in a hyper reality but Jesus wants to bring us into the real world. The bible reference is John 16 verse 33 where Jesus says in this life you will have many troubles but don't be afraid; have courage for I have overcome the world.

Following Jesus - An Introduction

In this sermon Wynand explores the challenges we can’t ignore in our lives.  He uses the example of David, Saul and Goliath to illustrate how we should posture ourselves as we face life’s inevitable daily challenges. Avoiding the urge to procrastinate and put off the difficult challenging tasks that life will throw our way is a challenge for everyone facing adversity.  What tools do you have in your hands? The Guide Bible verse is 1 Samuel 17. 

Tomorrow is Another Day - A Battle with Your Name on It

In Proverbs 23:7, we read that as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. Jesus says that we should not be concerned about what goes into the mouth, but what comes from the mouth. All of this points to the human heart. But we also see that there is a connection between the human heart and the human mind. And so as we grow in Christ, we become aware that we must take every thought and every emotion captive and make it obedient unto Christ.  Wynand explores in this sermon, how we do just that.

Tomorrow is Another Day - Being Proactive in Heart and Mind

In this introductory sermon, Wynand explores, how hard it is for us to change and how we often postpone change and procrastinate. When we are in Christ, we do not have to change on our own. And we have the Holy Spirit to assist us to change day by day. **Due to technical difficulties experienced on Sunday the introductory message was cut short.  Should you want to further explore the themes discussed in the audio please follow our social media channels which can be found on our website for daily updates from Wynand. 

Tomorrow is Another Day - An Introduction
