Ps Harry de Vries - "The Rich Young Ruler" 06/25/2025

Ps Harry de Vries - "The Rich Young Ruler" Discover the powerful contrast between self-righteousness and God’s righteousness through the story of the rich young ruler in Mark 10:17–31. Learn why eternal life can't be earned—only received. /episode/index/show/momentumch/id/37153510

Ps Harry de Vries - "Our Living Worship" 06/18/2025

Ps Harry de Vries - "Our Living Worship" Dr Martin Lloyd-Jones said: “A great danger confronting us in this present time is that people keep talking about Christianity instead of talking about Jesus. We start with ourselves, we start with our problems our difficulties, we start with the world as it is, and we end with that. People are merely interested in the application of Christianity not the Christ of Christianity.” The people wanted to make Jesus king because they saw the miracles and not the kingdom of God and in our worship we can fall into the trap of the what taking precedence over who that is Jesus Christ the centre of our worship. /episode/index/show/momentumch/id/37062485

Bishop Joel Kakembo Ntambi - "The Master Key of Prayer" 06/09/2025

Bishop Joel Kakembo Ntambi - "The Master Key of Prayer" Are you facing a midnight moment? Locked in a situation that feels impossible? In Acts 16, Paul and Silas were beaten, chained, and thrown into a dark prison—but instead of giving up, they prayed and praised. What happened next reveals the master key of prayer. Prayer isn’t the last resort—it’s the first weapon. When we choose to pray, even in pain, heaven responds. Chains break. Doors open. Lives change. Not only were Paul and Silas set free, but the jailer and his whole household were saved. /episode/index/show/momentumch/id/36929380

Ps Harry de Vries - "Worship in the Garden" 06/04/2025

Ps Harry de Vries - "Worship in the Garden" Worship was there in Genesis 1 and was lost in a garden in Genesis 2. While we know that God inhabits the praises of his people we can fall into the trap that when we praise God then has to turn up and this is a self centred worship. Our worship begins and ends with God and Jesus reinstated, redeemed and restored our worship. /episode/index/show/momentumch/id/36853915

Ps Harry de Vries - "No more than you can bear" 05/30/2025

Ps Harry de Vries - "No more than you can bear" Do You Feel Like God Is Not With You? You're Not Alone—But You Are Never Truly Alone. Life gets heavy. Challenges mount, anxiety creeps in, and sometimes it feels like God is distant or silent. But the truth, rooted in Scripture, is that God SO loves you—and because of that deep, enduring love, He is always near. Let’s explore some powerful Bible verses that prove God's presence, love, and faithfulness even in our darkest moments. /episode/index/show/momentumch/id/36781845

Nicholas Van Deventer - "The Good Samaritan" 05/21/2025

Nicholas Van Deventer - "The Good Samaritan" It was the Samaritan, a man despised by Jewish society, who stopped, bound the man’s wounds, and ensured he was cared for. His compassion moved him to action, and that action became the miracle the wounded man needed. Compassion isn’t weakness—it’s the beginning of healing. It opens the door for God to work. In this story, Jesus reframes what it means to truly "love your neighbor." It’s not about knowing the law—it’s about living it through mercy. /episode/index/show/momentumch/id/36663500

Ps Cil de Vries - "Storm Chasing with Jesus" 05/13/2025

Ps Cil de Vries - "Storm Chasing with Jesus" In Psalm 77, we wrestle with doubt and distress—but also with divine faithfulness. What will you do with the cross? What will you do with the storm? Will you cower like the cow or rise with the buffalo? Join us in storm chasing with Jesus and discover hope in hardship. /episode/index/show/momentumch/id/36555220

Ps Harry de Vries - "Worship Jesus" 05/08/2025

Ps Harry de Vries - "Worship Jesus" In the analogy of the jar filled with golf balls, gravel, sand and water we se that golf balls represent the most important things in life, the big things—faith, family, purpose. Worshiping Him is not just about singing songs on Sunday—it’s about making Him the centre of everything we do and when we see our life filled with the water of worship we allow worship to infiltrate every part of our lives and bringing us closer to a John 4 worship. /episode/index/show/momentumch/id/36492690

Ps Rebecca Gibson - "The Jesus Way" 04/24/2025

Ps Rebecca Gibson - "The Jesus Way" What if Jesus coming to this world is more than dying on a cross, what if the idea of salvation was not just about us getting a ticket to heaven but more about lifting the veil on how we are to live here on earth. Jesus came at the time that He did to show people the heart of God and in Jesus’ ministry we see there is a real shift in focus from external action to having a true heart transformation. The Jesus way showed us, love, compassion, humility, forgiveness, generosity, integrity, truth, peace, patience and faithfulness to God. /episode/index/show/momentumch/id/36301640

Ps Harry de Vries - "Let's Pray More" 04/16/2025

Ps Harry de Vries - "Let's Pray More" From the very first verse, Psalm 65 makes it clear: “Praise awaits you, our God, in Zion; to you our vows will be fulfilled. You who answer prayer, to you all people will come.” – Psalm 65:1–2 (NIV) This passage highlights a foundational truth: God listens. Prayer is not just a spiritual ritual—it’s a real conversation with the God who answers. Psalm 65 reminds us that: God hears us when we pray, God forgives us even when we fall short and God provides for us, both spiritually and physically. /episode/index/show/momentumch/id/36197840

Ps Harry de Vries - "The Power of Testimony" 04/10/2025

Ps Harry de Vries - "The Power of Testimony" Long before he was thrown into the lions' den, Daniel had already won the respect of King Darius through the character of his testimony. Scripture tells us that Daniel was “distinguished above the governors and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him” (Daniel 6:3 NKJV). Darius saw in Daniel a man who was honest, wise, and deeply committed to something beyond politics—his God, Daniel's lifestyle showed a power of testimony to the faithfulness of God. /episode/index/show/momentumch/id/36091380

Kristy Brereton - "Hear and Obey God's Call" 04/01/2025

Kristy Brereton - "Hear and Obey God's Call" Throughout Scripture, we see a divine rhythm—God calls, and His people respond. Genesis 22 illustrates this beautifully as Abraham hears God’s voice, answers, and takes action. This sermon unpacks how God calls our name, invites us into deeper faith, and leads us through life’s challenges with purpose and always with His presence and divine grace. /episode/index/show/momentumch/id/35953840

Nicholas Van Deventer - "The Power of Words" 04/01/2025

Nicholas Van Deventer - "The Power of Words" Words have the power to build up or tear down, strengthen faith or breed doubt. In Matthew 14:22-32, we see how Peter’s words—"Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water"—demonstrated his faith. But his doubt-filled words later caused him to sink. Nicho explores the significance of our words in shaping our faith, relationships, and walk with God. /episode/index/show/momentumch/id/35953685

Ps Harry de Vries - "Vision 2025 - Worship Jesus He Is More Than A Sunday" 03/22/2025

Ps Harry de Vries - "Vision 2025 - Worship Jesus He Is More Than A Sunday" At Momentum Church, we believe Jesus is more than just a Sunday experience—He is the foundation of our daily lives. Our vision is to cultivate a thriving community of believers who live out their faith every day, at home, at work, and in their communities. /episode/index/show/momentumch/id/35817445

Ps Patrick Fitzgerald - "Timeless Encounter" 03/06/2025

Ps Patrick Fitzgerald - "Timeless Encounter" Ps Patrick shares a message with us about the need to dream again for the things of God. /episode/index/show/momentumch/id/35565315

Ps Harry de Vries - "Hear, Plant, Water" 03/06/2025

Ps Harry de Vries - "Hear, Plant, Water" In 1 Corinthians the Apostle Paul speaks to them about everyone having a roll, a part to play in the kingdom of God. To quote Dr Martin Luther King we the church, need to be thermostats instead of thermometers in our communities and Paul shows us no matter what we do whether we plant or we water we first need to hear what God is saying to us and remember that it is only God that causes the grow. /episode/index/show/momentumch/id/35565090

Ps Harry de Vries - "The Gifts of the Spirit - Motivational Gifts" 02/26/2025

Ps Harry de Vries - "The Gifts of the Spirit - Motivational Gifts" We all need to motivated at times, motivated to do different things or get up in the morning. Each person has a unique way of being motivated and God knows exactly who you are because He created you, He fashioned you, He formed you and spoke into you. So who better than our heavenly Father to place within us His children, the gifts of motivation we read about in Romans 12. /episode/index/show/momentumch/id/35444030

Ps Patrick Fitzgerald - "Pot of Diversion" 02/20/2025

Ps Patrick Fitzgerald - "Pot of Diversion" Ps Patrick Fitzgerald is from People's Church Dublin City and he shares with us a message about Jacob and Esau and the destiny that is before them both. /episode/index/show/momentumch/id/35371315

Ps Harry de Vries - "Gifts of the Spirit - Context in the Gifts" 02/18/2025

Ps Harry de Vries - "Gifts of the Spirit - Context in the Gifts" Have you ever overheard a conversation and interrupted to give what you thought would be well appreciated information only to discover you had the context all wrong. When it comes to reading and studying the bible, context is everything and especially when it comes to the gifts in 1 Corinthians 12 where it appears they conflict with Ephesians 4. /episode/index/show/momentumch/id/35321810

Ps Rebecca Gibson - "God's Unchanging Love" 02/18/2025

Ps Rebecca Gibson - "God's Unchanging Love" We all have aspects of our Christian life that we relate to God in different ways, for some it's about the worship, for others it can be the preaching or even about connection. No matter which way we relate do we consider all aspects of God in our walk that is do you see God the Father and Jesus and the Holy Spirit and can you identify with each one. /episode/index/show/momentumch/id/35321415

Nicholas Van Deventer - "Live the Word" 02/17/2025

Nicholas Van Deventer - "Live the Word" Romans 10 tells us that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of Christ. We all have in this life the opportunity to live our best and when we have the revelation of the word of God we open ourselves to the amazing work of God through not just hearing the word but living the word. /episode/index/show/momentumch/id/35321225

Ps Harry de Vries - "The Call of God" 01/26/2025

Ps Harry de Vries - "The Call of God" On the 3rd of February 237 years ago under a great tree in what was to be known later as Circular Quay, the very first sermon was preached on Australian soil. The message was by a Minister called Richard Johnson and he spoke from Psalm 116 - "What can I offer the Lord for all that He has done for me" Richard understood the impelling call of God over his life and we all face the challenge of moving forward into our destiny to see that great call fulfilled in our lives so we can bring the Gospel message all across this great nation of Australia. /episode/index/show/momentumch/id/35009845

Ps Harry de Vries - "The Gifts of the Spirit - 12 Corinthians Pt 1" 01/21/2025

Ps Harry de Vries - "The Gifts of the Spirit - 12 Corinthians Pt 1" The Apostle Paul was in Ephesus when he heard about the church in Corinth and the disunity it was facing from sins that invaded the church that made the church appear like Gentiles. Paul confronted these issues by teaching them that they are many and yet one in Christ and he teaches them about the gifts of the Spirit that are available for anyone the Holy Spirit desires. /episode/index/show/momentumch/id/34946710

Ps Narelle Davenport - "Out with the Old" 01/15/2025

Ps Narelle Davenport - "Out with the Old" In Matthew's Gospel chapter 16, many people were talking about this man called Jesus, who was he, was he Elijah, was he John, was he Elijah. The disciple Peter had a journey in his life that brought him from thinking Jesus was the One who would fix Israel from its predicament in the natural to a revelation that Jesus was truly the Son of God and Israel would have a different kind of salvation. Peter had to learn to let go of the old and believe for the new, Jesus showed Peter this at the Passover where Jesus taught them a new commandment - love one another. /episode/index/show/momentumch/id/34873335

Ps Harry de Vries - "The Right Gift" 12/25/2024

Ps Harry de Vries - "The Right Gift" Have you ever thought about what Christmas gift you would give to God? What is the right gift you could ever give the Creator of the universe who has, knows and made everything, and what would God actually desire? In the book of Micah we read bout three things, three qualities of the heart that Micah shows us are the things that God desires from us. /episode/index/show/momentumch/id/34615520

Ps Harry de Vries - "Twas The Week Before Christmas" 12/25/2024

Ps Harry de Vries - "Twas The Week Before Christmas" My mother had many Christmas traditions that she adhered to throughout her life from the way presents were handed out to the food we would eat. One particular year all of us children convinced our parents to let us open all the present a week early, what a great time it was until Christmas Day actually arrived, you can imagine how we felt and yes it never happened again. In Luke's Gospel Simeon was promised that he would see the Messiah and unlike us, he waited until he saw that promise fulfilled that not only showed the birth of Jesus but looked ahead to the salvation of mankind. /episode/index/show/momentumch/id/34612860

Nicholas Van Deventer - "The Ministry of Christ" 12/12/2024

Nicholas Van Deventer - "The Ministry of Christ" The call of the Gospel message is one that is upon every believer, everyone who is a disciple of Christ has a mandate to go into the world and preach the Gospel. That world may be your home, your work, your family, that world is everywhere around us for God gives each one of us an opportunity to share about His goodness and love and what Jesus has done for us. /episode/index/show/momentumch/id/34422055

Ps Harry de Vries - "Gifts of the Spirit - Five-fold Gifts Part 2" 12/02/2024

Ps Harry de Vries - "Gifts of the Spirit - Five-fold Gifts Part 2" When Paul writes to us about the Ministerial or Five-fold Gifts in Ephesians 4, he was writing to a church that was going strong, to a group of believers that had a desire to grow in their faith and Jesus. Paul could have been writing directly to you. /episode/index/show/momentumch/id/34251780

Ps Harry de Vries - "The Gifts of the Spirit - Five-fold Gifts Part 1" 11/25/2024

Ps Harry de Vries - "The Gifts of the Spirit - Five-fold Gifts Part 1" Understanding the gifts of the Spirit is an important part of our identity in Christ, after all Jesus himself gave us the Ministerial Gifts also known as the Five-fold gifts in Ephesians 4. To understand how each gift operates helps us grow together in the unity of faith and understand one another in the Kingdom of God. /episode/index/show/momentumch/id/34147980

Ps Rebecca Gibson - "Are Your Eyes Open" 11/19/2024

Ps Rebecca Gibson - "Are Your Eyes Open" Even though at times it seems like it’s hard to sit and read the word we must be encouraged to be obedient to persist and keep reading because as we read a spiritual transaction takes place. Mark's Gospel shares the story of Jesus healing a blind man and it appears that Jesus couldn’t heal the blind man the first time – but when we know God through reading His word we get to see there is more to see in this story and we need to open our eyes to the greater plan of God. /episode/index/show/momentumch/id/34022967
