This is Church | Four12 10 Marriage Q&AThe marriage covenant reflects Christ’s relationship to the church. However, are our marriages reflecting God’s design? Andrew Selley talks to Gareth Burley from Kingfisher FM about how marriage impacts the church and the role church leaders need to play in marriages.

In this message, Andrew Selley exhorts listeners to examine the fruit of salvation in their lives—a life surrendered to Christ will reflect His desires and priorities.

Building His Church | Four12 God, Our HopeReal hope is only found in Jesus. Hope is an optimistic state of mind, and according to the world, it is a belief that ‘everything is going to be ok.’ Godly hope is different – we find our hope in a Person, not in our circumstances. In this Christmas Day session, Andrew Selley unpacks what hope is according to the Bible. We are reminded that without Jesus, we have no hope, but by placing our hope in Him, we will not be disappointed. To find this hope, we look back at what God has done for us – He se...

When this is done well and in love, it is a secure place for the children. In the same way, there must be discipline exercised in God’s household, as the Bible tells us that what one believer does affects the rest of the Body. The goal of church discipline is always restoration. In this session, Andrew Selley shows us through Scripture how we approach church members who are in sin and how we...

He then entrusts each of these fields to His chosen leaders – men appointed by the Holy Spirit and recognised by their local churches. These men are gifted to break open new ground and speak into the life of the churches within their field. Those released into the apostolic have an area of authority assigned by the Lord, and they, in turn, work closely with the elders of each local church. While the apostolic breaks open, elders remain to shepherd God’s sheep in His fi...

In the Bible, we see that Judas betrayed Jesus, and Ananias and Sapphira were struck dead because of their unfaithful hearts in stewarding finance – they loved money. In this session, Andrew Selley unpacks God’s will for our finances, focusing on His design for tithing, giving, and offerings as laid out in Scripture.

It is human nature to hide the broken or dysfunctional parts of ourselves, but the Lord’s plan is for us to live in the light. This means we are open about our sin and weaknesses, allowing others to show us our blind spots, so that we may continually grow in Jesus.

In this session, Andrew Selley explains the gift of the apostolic, looking at the Biblical role and function of this office. In a time when many churches have lost connection to this gift or embraced unbiblical views regarding the apostolic, it is important to understand what the Lord’s plan is with apostles.

When considering how our modern-day churches have been built, we must ask ourselves: are we going beyond what is written in Scripture? Just as Priscilla and Aquilla explained the ways of God to Apollos more adequately, we also need to allow our understanding to increase. The Lord has given us the Bible to show us His design for the church, but today, we see many aspects that do not reflect His Word – polluting and diluting God’s House.

In this session, Andrew Selley unpacks baptism and baby dedication and how these paint a beautiful picture of God’s heart.

This is Church | Four12 09 MarriageA holy covenant in a modern world. While the culture around us may no longer view marriage as sacred, God still views marriage as a holy covenant. It is a picture of His relationship with His own Bride: the church. He hates divorce, not only because it breaks the holy bond between husband and wife, but because it also destroys the glory of His covenant with the church. Divorce is painful, but where there is repentance, God is faithful to forgive and even restore. A question that sometimes arises is whether (and in which circumstances) a...

Just as parents, out of love and because they only want what is best for them, discipline their children when they are disobedient, God disciplines those He loves (Hebrews 12:6).

Likewise, we must learn not to worry about what others think about how we express ourselves in worship but what God thinks.

The Bible is clear on how God wants the local church to be governed, and sets two offices in place, namely elders and deacons. Elders are faithful men qualified for this office by their mature, Christ-like character. They are chosen by God and appointed by apostles to govern the local church with authority to teach, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, to pray for the sick, and to exercise church discipline. As saints, God expects us to respect our elders, obey and submit to them, remain teachable, imitate th...

Nowhere in the New Testament do we see God building His church through denominations, networks, or independent churches. Rather, we see local churches working together in apostolic partnership to disciple certain areas of influence (“fields”) God has assigned to them. The role of apostles is to make sure that every church is built on the foundation of Jesus Christ and that everything is aligned with Him and His blueprint (1 Corinthians 3:10-11). In addition, apostles supply what is lacking in faith (1 Thessalonians 3:10), making...

It is a community of people gathered around the Father, in Christ, by His Spirit, working together as one to disciple nations.

This is Church | Four12 01 Why the ChurchGod's plan for impacting the world. While Jesus is the means of our salvation, God's plan has always involved the church (Ephesians 3:10). Scripture shows that churches have different degrees of health – some are healthy, some sick, and some even dead. The early church (in Acts 2:42) is one of the strongest illustrations of a healthy church – a church that turned the ancient world upside down. What does God think about the church in our generation? Does she reflect His original plan? God is still looking for churches that will turn the world upside down, but this will o...
