Village Green Community Church Podcast

We are al waiting for something. Our ship to come in, our knight in shining armour, and even for the Lord to return! But what if all this waiting is really getting us nowhere and that the most significant breakthrough in our lives is available to us right now?

In 1986 the Beastie Boys proclaimed that “you’ve got to fight for your right to party”, but centuries before that Jesus spoke about the kingdom of heaven, about a lasting hope through reconnecting with God and about possessing a faith that is truly worth fighting for. Today’s message is based on Romans 8:1-14.

Can We Talk?1 Corinthians 9:19-24 Every church, whether they realize it or not, has to manage 5 land mines. They have the potential to create chaos and conflict. So, what are they and how are we as a church navigating through them?

This Mother’s Day we want to discover how the words of James 1:22-25 can help us discover a rhythm to live by each day. Guest speakers this morning are Jennifer Charlton, Betsy Campbell and Louise Dakin.

In this concluding message we look at the most challenging story in the New Testament regarding giving. It takes what we normally consider to be the principles of generosity and gives it an entirely new meaning. Duration: 44 minutes,Series: Recalculating – Part 5,Speaker: Jon Korkidakis,Passage: Mark 12:41-44

In this message we look at the New Testament principles for giving and learn that no matter our economic circumstances, we all have an opportunity to display generosity.

In this message we learn how the pressures of living in a culture of instant gratification affects our decisions regarding money.

In this message we look at the subject of debt. From the time the nation of Israel was birthed, God gave lessons and warnings on how to handle debt without becoming enslaved to it

In this message we look at the primary foundational passage in the Bible as it relates to money. From it, Jesus teaches the most important truth about spirituality, one that is often overlooked in our culture today.

In this Easter message we learn that the resurrection of Jesus set in motion a new kingdom; one in which every enemy of humankind comes under the authority and power of Jesus.

Jon Korkidakis was interviewed on Faith FM’s Conversations segment, with host, Marion. This interview gives the Faith FM listeners an introduction to Village Green Community Church, and includes an interesting and personal overview of Jon’s life and faith journey. It is a respectful and reflective dialogue between a seasoned Christian host and the Village Green pastor.

Our lives are shaped by whoever or whatever we claim allegiance to. In this Palm Sunday message we learn that when we place faith in Christ, we serve a king who rules a kingdom with a crown of thorns, not of gold.

Some moments in life come close to capturing true greatness. Unfortunately for us, they do not last. But what if there was a way to live life that would produce a more lasting greatness? What if we could capture more of life’s great moments? What if we could find a greatness that lasts?

In this message we conclude our look through 1 Peter. The final chapter surveys six key areas of life that have the potential to cause us to stumble. For each, Peter gives us practical insights for helping us to stand in a world that wants to knock us down.

In this message we look at the right and wrong ways to suffer as a Follower of Jesus. The right way actually produces blessing while the wrong way is not only painful to us, but to all those people around us.

What if you knew the time was short? What would be your priorities? Who would you need to see and what would you need to do? In this message Peter poses that scenario to the believers who are being persecuted and gives a kind of modern bucket list for the church.

The message this week looks at one of the most difficult passages in the entire New Testament. Peter alludes to Noah and the Ark and the significance of water to baptism, and even spirits that are in prison. Despite these references, the point that Peter is making is easily identified, and one that reminds us that despite what is happening around us, we can endure it with hope.

The message this week gives guidelines on how we are to live in the midst of a culture that is hostile towards us. Even though we may suffer persecution, God expects us to react in a particular way.

Our natural reaction to opposition is to fight back and to stand up for ourselves. It seems like the most plausible way of making a point about what we stand for. But in this message we look at a characteristic that is a great point of tension for believers, yet when resolved, serves as a powerful witness to others.
