    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.

    How To Hear From God

    If you’ve ever wanted to help someone find Jesus but felt stuck between overthinking and awkward pressure, we get it. We’re chasing something simpler and more courageous: loving one person at a time with the kind of clarity that comes from actually hearing God, not just guessing our way forward. We walk through five practical, biblical ways people hear from God: an audible voice, Scripture that comes alive with personal direction, visions that correct and lead, mentoring and discipleship that refines what we’re missing, and the inner leading of the Holy Spirit that guides timing and next steps. Along the way we talk about why “God told me” needs humility, how Scripture anchors spiritual discernment, and how healthy Christian community keeps us grounded while we grow. We also bring it back to real life. Who is the person you’re praying for right now? What would change if you asked God to guide you toward them like a straight line to the prize, and then gave you the courage to act with love, patience, and good timing? If this helps you, subscribe so you don’t miss what’s next, share it with a friend who’s trying to discern God’s voice, and leave a review to help more people find the show. What’s the most common way you sense God leading you today?

    Discernment, Distraction & Mission: Acts 16

    Jess Quak preaches at Living Temple Christian Church, unpacking Acts 16 and the many ways God uses ordinary moments to advance His mission. This message reframes how we read the Bible, showing the difference between what Scripture commands (prescriptive) and what it describes (descriptive). Through Paul and Silas’ wild journey — from casting out a spirit to being beaten, imprisoned, worshipping, and seeing a jailer saved — Jess highlights how discipleship doesn’t follow a single formula. Instead, it requires discernment, a surrendered attitude, and a willingness to see every moment — even interruptions, discomfort, or brokenness — as part of God’s mission. Main themes: The Great Commission in everyday life Reading the Bible as meditation literature Prescriptive vs descriptive Scripture Discernment in mission When distractions are actually the mission Attitude in hardship God using brokenness Reaching people in everyday moments God pursuing the one Bible passage: Acts 16 (NIV) Speaker: Jess Quak Church: Living Temple Christian Church Location: Gold Coast / Tweed region Chapters 00:00 Living Temple rhythm: God, one another, the world, discipleship 01:08 How to approach Scripture personally 02:00 The Great Commission (Matthew 28) 02:25 The Bible as meditation literature 03:07 Prescriptive vs descriptive Scripture 04:21 What Acts shows about making disciples 05:15 A narrow view of evangelism (Olympics story) 07:00 Many ways God reaches people 08:00 Context of Acts 16 and Paul’s mission 09:34 The Macedonian call 09:59 Lydia and the first church in the West 10:23 The slave girl and spiritual encounter 11:17 Arrest, marketplace, and Roman culture 12:27 Beaten and imprisoned 13:27 Worship in prison 14:23 Earthquake and chains breaking 14:49 The jailer’s response 15:13 Salvation of the household 16:08 Paul reveals Roman citizenship 18:12 Key insight: discernment in mission 19:07 Distractions vs mission 20:42 Prophetic awareness and responding to God 21:27 Attitude can advance or hinder mission 22:05 God using brokenness as witness 24:14 Sharing faith in everyday moments 25:41 God goes after the one 26:40 Living with mission in every sphere SEO Meta Description Jess Quak teaches from Acts 16 on discernment, mission, and how God uses everyday moments, brokenness, and attitude to reach people.
