    What It Really Means to Wait on the Lord - Pr Jeremy Archer

    Title: What It Really Means to Wait on the LordSpeaker: Pastor Jeremy ArcherDate: 12th April 2026Location: Bristol, UK Summary:Waiting on the Lord is not standing still. It is standing firm. That distinction sits at the heart of this episode, which takes one of the most quoted verses in scripture and roots it back in the ground it came from. Isaiah 40:31 is familiar to most people who have spent time in the Bible. But familiarity can strip a verse of its weight. The people who first heard those words were Jewish exiles in Babylon, thirty-five years into what would become a seventy-year captivity. They had lost their king, their temple, their language, their culture, and their homeland. They were exhausted, displaced, and mocked. When Isaiah wrote that those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength, he was not writing an inspirational caption. He was writing to people in the middle of a crisis with no visible end. The Hebrew word translated "wait" in this passage is qava, and it carries none of the passivity the English word suggests. The picture behind it is a rope pulled taut in a tug of war, an archer drawing a bowstring, a runner braced on starting blocks. The episode also looks at how Jesus opened his public ministry in Luke 4 by reading from Isaiah, applying the same captivity scriptures to a new generation living under Roman rule. That connection shows how these words keep speaking across centuries to people in remarkably similar circumstances. Key Points: Reading scripture without knowing its context risks turning the Bible into a collection of slogans or proof texts The Hebrew word qava, translated "wait" in Isaiah 40:31, means active, tensed readiness, not passive inactivity Isaiah 40 was written to Jewish exiles thirty-five years into a seventy-year Babylonian captivity, a people stripped of everything familiar That exile forced Jewish people to develop a portable, personal faith, one no longer grounded in the temple but carried individually Jesus opened his public ministry by reading from Isaiah 61 to Jews under Roman rule, showing how captivity scriptures keep speaking to new generations in similar circumstances Waiting on the Lord means standing firm under pressure and serving faithfully while trusting God to complete what he has already started Reference Scriptures: Isaiah 40:27-31 Psalm 130:5 Isaiah 61:1-3 Luke 4:14-20 Haggai 2 Ezra 3 Micah 6:8 Habakkuk 3:17-18 Matthew 23:37 Hebrews 10:10 Listen to the entire Podcast Revival library by visiting https://podcastrevival.com  The Revival Fellowship is a Bible-directed, Spirit-filled Church and we welcome visitors to our meetings at any of our locations worldwide.

    Better Things Concerning You - Pr Colin Tan

    Title: Better Things Concerning YouSpeaker: Pastor Colin TanDate: 7th June 2026Location: Singapore, Singapore Summary:"We are confident of better things concerning you" — that phrase from Hebrews 6:9 sets the tone for this episode, which takes a direct look at what it actually means to grow up spiritually. The episode opens in Hebrews 6, where Paul urges believers to move beyond the basics of salvation and press toward maturity. The point is not about performing better, but about developing a faith that is genuine, active, and oriented toward others rather than self. Three vivid examples from Scripture bring this to life. David facing Goliath shows what it looks like to act from real faith when everyone around you is paralysed by fear and unbelief. David's response to Absalom's rebellion demonstrates something harder still: trusting God completely when betrayal comes from your own family, and choosing not to take revenge when you easily could. These are not feel-good stories. They are practical pictures of what it looks like to lead rather than bleed, and to see the bigger picture when others have lost the plot. The episode closes by working through James 3 and Proverbs 26-27, with a sharp look at how the tongue reveals the condition of the heart. It also draws on Acts 15 and 16 to show how Paul knew which battles were worth fighting and which ones to let go. Maturity is not about being right in every argument. It is about caring enough for people to speak the truth, keep your eyes on what really matters, and trust God with the rest. Key Points: Salvation is the foundation, not the finish line. God calls every believer to press on toward genuine spiritual maturity Real faith is visible in how you live and respond, not just in what you say you believe Spiritual maturity means seeing the bigger picture, choosing the right battles, and not letting emotions or offences cloud your vision The heart is revealed by the tongue. Flattery and manipulation are signs of spiritual immaturity, while honest and caring speech reflects a heart aligned with God Trusting God with outcomes, even painful ones, is central to the kind of faith David demonstrated throughout his life Reference Scriptures: Hebrews 6:1-12 1 Samuel 17:28-29, 33 (David and Goliath) 2 Samuel 15:25-26 (David trusts God during Absalom's rebellion) 2 Samuel 16:5-9 (Shimei curses David) 2 Samuel 19:9-13 (David's return to Jerusalem) Joshua 5:13-15 (commander of the Lord's army) James 2:18 (faith shown by works) James 3:5-6 (the tongue as fire) Proverbs 26:23-28 (flattery and deceit) Proverbs 27:5-6 (open rebuke) Acts 15:7-12 (Jerusalem Council) Acts 16:1-5 (Paul and Timothy) 2 Corinthians 5:12-14 (the love of Christ compels us) Listen to the entire Podcast Revival library by visiting https://podcastrevival.com  The Revival Fellowship is a Bible-directed, Spirit-filled Church and we welcome visitors to our meetings at any of our locations worldwide.

    The Sure Mercies of David - Pr Mark Wattchow

    Title: The Sure Mercies of DavidSpeaker: Pastor Mark WattchowDate: 10th May 2026Location: Christchurch, New Zealand Summary:"Hear, and your soul shall live" - these words from Isaiah 55 sit at the heart of this episode, pointing to promises that are not just old covenant history but a rock-solid foundation for every believer today. The episode unpacks the phrase "the sure mercies of David," beginning with what the word "sure" actually means. Drawing from Psalm 136, Hebrews 6, Luke 1, Psalm 89, Isaiah 55, and Acts 13, it traces how God's covenant promises to David and Abraham were never about an earthly throne alone. Every promise points forward to Jesus Christ, who brings them all to completion. His resurrection from the dead, never to die again, is the fulfilment of the sure mercies in the most literal sense. The episode closes with 2 Peter 1 and a reminder that believers today have been given exceeding great and precious promises. We receive the sure mercies of David when we receive the Holy Spirit, entering into an everlasting covenant that includes freedom from condemnation, eternal life, and a place in a kingdom that will never end. Key Points: The word "sure" in the phrase "the sure mercies of David" carries the meaning of a foundation or pillar - something permanent, established, and impossible to move Every promise God made to Abraham and David throughout the Old Testament finds its fulfilment in Jesus Christ, and in particular in his resurrection from the dead never to return to corruption We receive the sure mercies of David when we receive the Holy Spirit, which brings us into the everlasting covenant and its promise of eternal life Reference Scriptures: Psalm 136 Hebrews 6:16-19 Luke 1:30-33, 54, 67-75 Psalm 89:19-28 Isaiah 55:1-8 Acts 13:22-38 2 Peter 1:3-4   Listen to the entire Podcast Revival library by visiting https://podcastrevival.com  The Revival Fellowship is a Bible-directed, Spirit-filled Church and we welcome visitors to our meetings at any of our locations worldwide.

    Joanna - Jacob Riggs

    Title: JoannaSpeaker: Jacob RiggsDate: 9th June 2026Location: Adelaide, Australia Summary:She only gets two mentions in the entire Bible, but dig a little deeper and Joanna's story is remarkable. This episode takes a close look at a woman named in Luke 8 and Luke 24 who travelled with Jesus throughout Galilee, supported his ministry out of her own wealth, and was among the very first to encounter the risen Christ. Joanna was the wife of Chuza, the personal steward of Herod Antipas. That placed her in a world of money, influence, and social standing. Choosing to travel with Jesus and fund his work was no small thing. She was putting her husband's career and her family's reputation at risk. Yet she went anyway, serving faithfully and generously across at least a year and a half of Jesus's ministry. In a sense, Herod unknowingly helped fund it all. From the crucifixion to the empty tomb, and very likely through to the Day of Pentecost, Joanna's presence is woven through the most critical moments of the Gospels. Her story raises a direct challenge: when we recognise how precious Jesus truly is, are we willing to count the cost the way she did? Key Points: Joanna came from wealth and high social standing as the wife of Herod's steward, yet she chose to follow and financially support Jesus at real personal and professional risk She was one of the first people to encounter the risen Jesus, and he told her and the other women to go and tell his disciples Two lasting lessons from her life: she valued Jesus above status and comfort, and she served with genuine humility, using what she had for the benefit of others Reference Scriptures: Luke 8:1-3 Luke 24:1-12 Luke 23:46-56 Matthew 28:1-10 Matthew 13:45-46 Acts 1:13-14 Acts 2:1-4 Romans 16:7 2 Corinthians 9:7 1 Peter 4:10 Revelation 21:27 Listen to the entire Podcast Revival library by visiting https://podcastrevival.com  The Revival Fellowship is a Bible-directed, Spirit-filled Church and we welcome visitors to our meetings at any of our locations worldwide.

    Enduring to the end - Pr Chad Haddad

    Title: Enduring to the endSpeaker: Pastor Chad HaddadDate: 5th February 2017Location: Adelaide, Australia Summary:"He that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved." These words from Matthew 24 set the tone for an episode that takes an honest look at what it actually costs to stay the course in the Christian life. The episode works through a thread that runs from the garden of Eden to the letters of Paul: the difference between a narrow, problem-focused view of life and the higher vantage point that faith makes possible. Just as Jesus stepped away from the temple with his disciples and gave them a clearer view from the Mount of Olives, believers today are called to step back from the noise of daily pressures and see God's bigger plan. The carnal mind narrows everything down to the immediate problem, much like Eve's focus on the tree in the garden. The spiritually minded person keeps sight of the whole picture. A significant part of the episode focuses on praying in the Spirit as the practical compass for endurance. Drawing from Romans 8 and 1 Corinthians 14, the connection between worship in the Spirit and the ability to overcome daily challenges is unpacked clearly. Abraham's example in Hebrews 11 closes out the episode as a powerful reminder that simple obedience, even when the full picture isn't visible, is the foundation of faith that endures. Key Points: Enduring to the end means staying spiritually minded through the pressures of daily life and keeping the bigger picture of God's plan in view. The natural mind narrows focus down to immediate problems, just as Eve's attention locked in on the fruit rather than the relationship with God. Praying in the Spirit is the believer's compass for navigating life, building up inner strength and maintaining connection with God day by day. Reference Scriptures: Matthew 24:1-14 Romans 8:6-7, 14-19, 26-27 Genesis 3:1-7 John 1:1-12 John 4:21-24 Matthew 22:34-40 Hebrews 11:1-3, 8-10, 17-19 1 Corinthians 14:2-4, 14, 39 Genesis 22:17-18 2 Timothy 2:3 Listen to the entire Podcast Revival library by visiting https://podcastrevival.com  The Revival Fellowship is a Bible-directed, Spirit-filled Church and we welcome visitors to our meetings at any of our locations worldwide.

    Room at the Inn - Pr Warren Sharrock

    Title: Room at the InnSpeaker: Pastor Warren SharrockDate: 9th April 2025Location: New Plymouth, New Zealand Summary: "You need a past to have an identity. You need a future to have a hope." That idea anchors this episode, which digs into two inns in the Bible and what they reveal about Jesus, the church, and what it genuinely means to follow him. The first inn is the kataluma, the family hostel in Bethlehem described in Luke 2. The familiar picture of Jesus being turned away into the cold gets reexamined. The kataluma was a crowded family space, and the stable below offered shelter and privacy for the birth. Jesus was not rejected by his people. He was separated, set apart from the very beginning, born into the tribe of Judah but distinct in a way the rest of his story would go on to explain. The second inn sits in the middle of the Good Samaritan parable in Luke 10. The episode traces the original question that prompted the story: what must I do to inherit eternal life? Jesus answered through a tale about a dangerous road, a wounded man, and someone who stopped when no one else would. The Samaritan figures as a type of Christ, and the inn figures as the church. Being rescued and brought to safety is not the end of the story. It is the beginning. Fellowship, living water, one way in, and walls worth defending. Key Points: "No room at the inn" does not mean rejection. Jesus was born within the family of Judah, separated and lowly, but placed there deliberately, distinct from the very start. The Good Samaritan is an answer to the question about eternal life, not just a lesson in good behaviour. The inn represents the church, and the Samaritan is a picture of Christ paying the price for strangers. Fellowship is not optional. The church is the inn on the Jericho Road, a place with walls, one way in, and living water at the centre. Being brought to safety without being brought into fellowship is an incomplete rescue.

    Staying healthy in the Lord - Dave Hawkswood

    Title: Staying healthy in the LordSpeaker: Dave HawkswoodDate: 18th March 2026Location: Bendigo, Australia Summary: "Godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come." That single verse from 1 Timothy frames a very practical question: what does it actually take to stay spiritually healthy? This episode draws a direct line between physical health and spiritual health. The same way a body loses muscle without consistent effort, faith can quietly weaken when left unattended. Through research into what happens when we stop building physical strength, the parallels to spiritual life become clear. We are either growing or shrinking, and without intentional effort, our default is decline. Drawing from Ephesians 3, Isaiah 40, Hebrews 12, and Proverbs 4, this episode covers what it means to be strengthened through God's Spirit, how to lay aside the weights that slow us down, and how to build the habits and discernment that carry us through for the long run. The goal is not just surviving spiritually, but walking strongly in the ways of the Lord right up to the day he returns. Key Points: Spiritual strength does not maintain itself. Without intentional effort, prayer, and time in God's Word, faith quietly weakens over time, just as a body loses muscle when it goes untrained. Waiting on the Lord (Isaiah 40:31) is active, not passive. It means keeping hope and expectation alive, and through that, God renews your strength. Laying aside sin and unnecessary burdens (Hebrews 12:1) is not about perfection. It is about removing what holds you back so you can run your race with endurance.

    The Names of God - Pr Bryan Smith

    Title: The Names of GodSpeaker: Pastor Bryan SmithDate: 22nd March 2026Location: New Plymouth, New Zealand Summary: "The Lord is my shepherd" is one of the most quoted lines in the Bible, but how often do we pause to ask what that name actually means? This episode takes a close look at several of the Hebrew names of God, unpacking what each one reveals about who God is and what He offers His people today. Starting with Jehovah Tsidkenu, the Lord our righteousness, the episode draws a direct line from Jeremiah's prophecy about the coming Messiah to Jesus as the fulfilment of that promise. The world is full of corruption and no amount of personal effort can clean that up. Jesus, the exact image of the Father, laid down His life to remove the contamination of sin and restore righteousness to those who trust in Him. From there, the names keep unfolding. Jehovah Rohi, the Lord is my shepherd, points to a God who knows each person by name, who guides, protects, and provides even through the darkest valleys. Then Jehovah Rapha, the God who heals, is traced from a bitter wilderness spring to the cross itself, where healing was secured. Taken together, these names build a picture of a God who is not one-dimensional but deeply personal, multi-faceted, and actively involved in every area of life. Key Points: Jehovah Tsidkenu means "the Lord our righteousness." Jesus fulfilled this name by dealing with the corruption of sin that no human effort could fix, making His righteousness available to everyone who receives Him. Jehovah Rohi means "the Lord is my shepherd." Just as David drew comfort from knowing God watched over every detail of his life, the same promise stands for believers today, including through fear, uncertainty, and the challenges of a turbulent world. Jehovah Rapha means "the Lord who heals." The tree cast into the bitter waters at Marah points forward to the cross, where Christ bore sin in His own body so that healing, wholeness, and restoration could flow to His people. Reference Scriptures: Jeremiah 23:5-6 Hebrews 1:1-9 Exodus 6:2-3, 7 Psalm 23:1-6 John 10:11-14 Acts 20:25-31 Exodus 15:22-26 1 Peter 2:21-25 James 5:14-16 Psalm 83 Listen to the entire Podcast Revival library by visiting https://podcastrevival.com  The Revival Fellowship is a Bible-directed, Spirit-filled Church and we welcome visitors to our meetings at any of our locations worldwide.
