BANTER - Sport Sunday - Mitch & Murray

Welcome to BANTER; the weekly podcast where we unpack last Sunday's sermon. 
This week as we explore the importance of having chaplain mindsets, we ask; Does the gospel require contextualisation? Where does physical healing and exorcism fit into evangelism? What does the Bible say about Satan's origins? And how much impact can a couple of red frogs have?

Sports Sunday - Mitch Levingston

Mitch shares around the origins of chaplaincy, the misconceptions of what it needs to look like and challenges us by asking "how we can all be chaplains in our own communities?".

BANTER - Pruning Work - Mitch & Murray

Welcome to BANTER; the weekly podcast where we unpack last Sunday's sermon. 
God still calls us to observe a weekly day of rest. So what does that actually look like? In a society that idolises work, how do we ensure we don't become "mini Pharaohs" to ourselves or others? And why does the church traditionally observe Sabbath on Sunday if it was originally on Saturday? 
So take a load off, lean back, and kick your feet up as we explore the theme of rest this week on BANTER.

Pruning Work - Mitch Levingston

8 “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. (Exodus 20:8-11)
Mitch wraps up our series on pruning with a look at our work habits and the importance God places on rest.

BANTER - Pruning Finances - Brian, Mitch & Murray

Welcome to BANTER; the weekly podcast where we unpack last Sunday's sermon.

They also share about (hypothetical) plans for their next big Aussie getaway respectively, and Brian shares more personal anecdotes around approaches to finances.

Pruning Finances - Brian Codrington

7 “Two things I ask of you, Lord;    do not refuse me before I die:8 Keep falsehood and lies far from me;    give me neither poverty nor riches,    but give me only my daily bread.9 Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you    and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’Or I may become poor and steal,    and so dishonour the name of my God. (Proverbs 30:7-9) 
The topic of finances is one which was just as much on the minds of those in biblical times as it is for us today. Brian shares from both his own spiritual journey and his experience as an accountant to shed light on what the Bible says to us around our finances.

BANTER - FATHER’S DAY ’22 - Mitch & Murray

Welcome to BANTER; the weekly podcast where we unpack last Sunday's sermon. 
We've been blessed with a weekend of reflections from some of The Centre's finest, and now Mitch & Murray have the privilege of further unpacking some of the rich ideas that were shared; How have our own paternal relationships effected our view of God the Father? How do we foster transparency without oversharing or enabling? How do we clear a way for our children and disciples to come closer to Jesus?
