    3 John. When people talk

    People talked about you in primary school, and they still talk about you now. The question isn’t whether the “rumour mill” exists, it’s what it produces: truth or noise, love or damage, welcome or exclusion. We open up 3 John and sit with three very different reputations. Gaius shows what healthy Christian character looks like: walking in truth, loving people well, and practicing hospitality even when the relationship is new. Then we face the uncomfortable contrast of Diotrephes, the kind of church influence that craves being first, refuses to welcome others, and spreads malicious nonsense that can grow from a seed into a wildfire. If you care about church culture, leadership integrity, and real community, this part gets painfully practical. From there we look at Demetrius and the simple power of being “well spoken of,” then zoom out to discipleship and spiritual formation. We talk honestly about why you can’t expect holiness without the Holy Spirit, how growth actually happens over time, and what it looks like to keep the door open while still calling people to change. We finish with a bold, concrete practice: speaking specific encouragement that strengthens the church rather than tearing it down.

    Haggai, what a guy. Small but mighty books of the Bible

    We start with a simple setup: God’s people return from exile with a massive spiritual goal to rebuild the temple, then life gets hard, opposition shows up, and the urgent stuff takes over. Before long, the project that was supposed to put God back at the center becomes a “later” problem, while comfort and survival take the front seat. Haggai calls that drift what it is and asks the question we all dodge: are our priorities actually God’s priorities? We zoom out to the bigger Bible timeline so Haggai makes sense, from covenant to exile to return, and we explain why context matters if we want to avoid twisting Scripture into slogans about money or guilt. Then we walk through Haggai’s four messages: the frustration of working hard and still feeling empty, the surprising order of obedience first and empowerment second, and the moment when discouraged builders look at a small, unimpressive temple and wonder if God is really in it. From there, the conversation moves from buildings to hearts. Holiness cannot be contained to a place, a Sunday habit, or a quick devotional, because God is not interested in being managed. The book ends by reigniting the messianic thread through Zerubbabel and pointing forward to the hope we now see fulfilled in Jesus, while we still live in the now and not yet Kingdom of God. If you feel stalled, disillusioned, or stretched thin, let Haggai re-center you.  Subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review with the priority you’re choosing to put first this week.

    Jude, False Teachers, and Guarding the Gospel

    What happens when wolves slip into the church in sheep's clothing? In this message, Dave Quak unpacks the small but mighty book of Jude. Looking at the dangers of turning God's grace into a license for immorality, we explore why Jude originally wanted to write an encouraging letter on our shared salvation—only to be compelled to urge believers to fiercely contend for the real faith. Drawing from timeless biblical truths and real-world warnings, this episode challenges us to anchor ourselves in Christ, reject spiritual compromise, and walk boldly in the authority we have as sons and daughters of the Most High God.

    What does it mean to be a Christian? By Carl Windhorst

    This weekend at Living Temple Christian Church Tugun, church member Carl asked the question "what does it mean to be a Christian?" and took us on a journey through the bible to answer it. Exploring this simple question provided us with a lot to think about and some easy to understand doctrine and theology of what it means to follow Jesus in a simple yet powerful way.  A helpful sermon for those exploring faith and mature Christians alike.

    Love Is Not About Me — Getting Back to Basics

    In this message, Ash Morrison returns to the foundation of the Christian life — loving God and loving people. Drawing from Jesus' greatest commandments in Matthew 22 and John 13, Ash unpacks what agape love actually looks like in everyday life using 1 Corinthians 13 as a guide. From patience and kindness, to keeping no record of wrongs, to persevering with the hardest people in our lives, Paul's famous passage is far more than a wedding reading — it's a practical picture of what a life shaped by love can look like. Ash also challenges us to check our hearts regularly, because it's easy to drift from doing things out of love into doing them out of obligation, pride, or routine without even realising it's happened. Whether you're a brand new believer wondering what comes next, or someone who's been walking with God for years, this message is a reminder that everything we do as Christians must be built on this foundation — and that the good news is we don't have to produce this kind of love on our own. Jesus doesn't just model perfect agape love, he fills us with it.
