St Andrews Church Geraldine‘s Podcast132: 21-07-2024 Romans (Part 61) Saved through Christ Paul continues to the end of Chapter 9 of Romans, explaining how we are saved by faith alone. This is how the Gentiles were receiving salvation: realising that they could not earn it by anything that we might do, and only through Christ's righteousness could they be saved. Israel was still relying on gaining righteousness by obeying the Law - something that could not be achieved. With this focus, they rejected righteousness through Jesus as the only way to salvation. The Christian Jews in the Galatian church faced a similar issue: they had teachers coming in and stating that C...2024-07-2122 min

St Andrews Church Geraldine‘s Podcast112: 03-03-2024 The Jesus Manifesto (Part 16) The Truth Be ToldJesus' main point wasn't simply not to make any oaths or vows - he wanted us to strive to meet God's absolute standard or truth and to show integrity and honesty in all areas of our lives. Only Jesus accomplished this and so, again, we recognise it is his righteousness by which we are saved. As God calls you to be 'fishers of people' imitate Him in every area of your life - both word and deed. Matthew 5:33-37 and Psalm 119:29-40 2024-03-0324 min

St Andrews Church Geraldine‘s Podcast111: 25-02-2024 The Jesus Manifesto (Part 15) Where is God In All Of This?By the 1st century AD, the teachers of the Law had reinterpreted God's instructions (Deuteronomy 24:1-4) and were permitting divorce for any reason. God hates divorce. He neither commands it or condones it. But He recognises its existence in our fallen world, hence Scriptures such as Deuteronomy 24:1-4 and Exodus 21:10-11. Jesus corrects the Pharisees in what he explains about divorce. As we look at these scriptures some truths that are revealed, no matter your marital status are: You are God's Ambassador in all situations; we must take care not to interpret scriptures conveniently for this world's lifestyle; marriage is a...2024-02-2424 min

St Andrews Church Geraldine‘s Podcast110: 18-02-2024 The Jesus Manifesto (Part 14) The Art of Heart Surgery: RepentanceAlthough awkward and uncomfortable to talk about, we must recognise that we all have sinned and constantly fail to live up to the standard of God’s Law. Jesus again challenges his audience with the sin of adultery in the heart. He doesn’t do this to condemn us, but to make us truly realise that we can only be saved when we accept Him as our righteousness. When King David sinned, he responded with a prayer that is Psalm 51: Create in me a new heart and renew a right spirit within me. Through true repentance God gives us a ne...2024-02-1830 min

St Andrews Church Geraldine‘s Podcast109: 11-02-2024 Our Sovereign GodNo matter what challenges and trials we may face in this life, we have a Sovereign God who overcomes everything we may face.

St Andrews Church Geraldine‘s Podcast108: 04-02-2024 The Jesus Manifesto (Part 13) Am I my brother's keeper? One definition that we could use for the anger that Jesus warns us of is: 'an anger that cherishes resentment and does not want reconciliation.' While we strive to rid ourselves of such heart attitudes, Jesus has not left us as orphans - he has sent the Holy Spirit to dwell in us and to replace our sinful heart attitudes with the fruit of the Spirit. Matthew 5:21-26 and Galatians 5:16-23 2024-02-0322 min

St Andrews Church Geraldine‘s Podcast107: 28-01-2024 The Jesus Manifesto (Part 12) The Fulfillment Of The Law And Our AttitudeSo far in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus has described what the character of a believer should be (the Beatitudes), the function of the believer (salt and light) and now Jesus teaches the foundations for those inner qualities (our attitudes). To introduce this he focuses on the purpose of the Law - God's Word. Today we consider moving from the Beatitudes to looking at our Attitudes and the call we have been given to be Children of God.

St Andrews Church Geraldine‘s Podcast101: 24-12-2023 How Do You Picture Jesus? (Christmas Eve 2023)How do you picture Jesus Christ? At this season we obviously picture infant Jesus lying in a manger.

St Andrews Church Geraldine‘s Podcast96: 26-11-2023 The Jesus Manifesto (Part 9) Persecuted for Doing RightIf the first 7 beatitudes turned the world's values upside down for Jesus' listeners, then this final one is certainly no less challenging. In fact if we hold true to demonstrating the right attitude in our lives from the first 7 beatitudes then we will come across persecution for standing up for the truth about Jesus. The Apostle Paul is a living example of all the beatitudes being lived out for Jesus once he encounters the Risen Lord on the road to Damascus. Acts 9:1-16 and Matthew 5:10-12 2023-11-2627 min

St Andrews Church Geraldine‘s Podcast95: 19-11-2023 False ProphetsJesus had to warn disciples to be wary of false prophets. Today we still have the same warning to heed to - whether someone unintentionally misleads us or deliberately with some ulterior purpose, we still live in a world where we must beware of such people and their teachings. Matthew 7:15-20 2023-11-1834 min

St Andrews Church Geraldine‘s Podcast94: 12-11-2023 The Jesus Manifesto (Part 8) Being a messenger of God’s peace.The world has been at war with God since the Fall. The battle against sin continues, however, the end result will be peace with God. God calls up to bring His Gospel of Peace to the world. We must do it with the attitude of what Jesus describes in all the other beatitudes. It is then that the world will recognise us as children of the one true God. Ephesians 6:10-18 and Matthew 5:9 2023-11-1122 min

St Andrews Church Geraldine‘s Podcast93: 05-11-2023 The Jesus Manifesto (Part 7) Seeing God TodayThe sixth beatitude is often considered the most climatic one with the promise of seeing God. This is a wonderful promise for the future. It is also a promise that we can receive today. When we set our minds on what is true, what is honourable, what is right, and what is pure, then we will see God working around us and through us. "Purity of the heart cleanses the eyes of the soul so that God becomes visible" (John MacArthur). Philippians 4:4-9 and Matthew 5:8 2023-11-0417 min

St Andrews Church Geraldine‘s Podcast92: 29-10-2023 The Jesus Manifesto (Part 6) The Mercy of a NeighbourThe Mercy of a Neighbour Jesus revealed what Mercy really looked like, to his audience by telling the story of an unlikely hero. Today we look at words such as Mercy, Love, Forgiveness, Grace and Justice, and prayerfully consider how we may demonstrate the mark of salvation through Mercy. Luke 10:25-37 and Matthew 5:7 2023-10-2919 min

St Andrews Church Geraldine‘s Podcast91: 22-10-2023 Are We Like The First Church Or The Last Church?The First Church hungered for Christ and Christ alone in their lives. Possessions and popularity were not things they desired and so they were easily shared or given to those in need. In contrast the last church mentioned in God's word, the church in Laodicea, considered themselves rich and in need of nothing, and therefore were lukewarm in God's sight. As a church today, are we starving for sanctification through Jesus Christ, or are we simply content with our own self-gratifying ways? - Acts 4:32-35, Revelation 3:14-20, Matthew 5:6 2023-10-2222 min

St Andrews Church Geraldine‘s Podcast90: 15-10-2023 The Jesus Manifesto (Part 5) A Footnote To The BeatitudesWhat Jesus speaks about in the Beatitudes is also what he proclaims when he reads the Scripture from Isaiah 61 - He has come to bring renewal and solace to the poor and the weary. We are to look to Jesus as the Israelites looked to the Year of Jubilee: a time of restoration. As we look to that restoration through the saving grace of Jesus, we are also to come in repentance. - Luke 4:16-21 2023-10-1520 min

Have you ever prayed for things and they haven’t happened? Have you ever been in a situation where you haven’t known how to pray? What to do in a situation? We will all encounter situations that are perplexing, beyond our wisdom and resources to know what to say, do or even pray. The Holy Spirit turns our prayers, our groanings in such a way as the Holy Spirit is doing the groanings to bring about God's will. 2023-08-0623 min

Until then, God's Holy Spirit dwells within us as a reminder of this hope that we have. We are also reminded that God longs to bring mankind into this fullness of fellowship again - just as we had in the Garden of Eden before sin entered the world; just as God dwelt in the centre of the Israelite camp in the wilderness or in the Holy of Holies in the Temple. So too we are living stones where once again God...2023-07-3012 min

New Earth lawyerGeraldine Johns-Putra - Big-picture thinking & effecting change | S1 E12In this episode, I talk about how embarking on the process of making a change in the world requires a shift in thinking.The first shift is to begin to engage in systems thinking, to see the interlocking pieces of the whole puzzle. The second shift is to inquire into the accuracy and reliability of information that we take in. This leads to a shift in reassessing our own beliefs and assumptions and shedding those that no longer serve. Each of these leads to a person becoming a more effective change-maker.
