Open Arms Church

In this episode of the Open Arms Podcast, Pastor Patrick shares a message titled “Don’t Leave Without Him.”

Looking at Acts 1, he explores why Jesus told the disciples to wait for the Holy Spirit before stepping into their mission. This message is a reminder that God has not called us to live for Christ, become like Christ, or fulfil His purpose in our own strength. We were created to live dependent on the power and presence of the Holy Spirit.

In today’s message, Ps. John Startin speaks on the conflict between the flesh and the Spirit, and what it means to become more like Jesus. Discover how shifting our focus, staying connected to Christ, and practicing spiritual disciplines can position us to receive the transformation only God can produce.

In this message, Ps. Alan Fay speaks on the God we rejected and the Saviour we needed. From humanity’s rejection of God in Eden to the promise of redemption fulfilled in Jesus, discover how God continually pursues His people and calls us from the worship of self to the worship of God.

In today’s message, Ps. John Startin speaks on the Lord’s Prayer and what it means to know the God we are praying to. Discover how our Father is both close in our crises and sovereign in heaven, reminding us that our big God meets us even in the smallest places. 

Are you tired, weary, or carrying things God never intended you to carry?

In today’s message we look at the life of David and what it means to lay our baggage at the feet of the One who can truly carry it. Hurt, disappointment, fear, shame, Jesus never intended for us to keep carrying what He dealt with at the cross.

In today’s message, we explore what it truly means to find our identity in Christ. Discover the hope, purpose, and assurance we have through Him, and be encouraged to live confidently in the truth of who God says you are.

What do you do when God seems silent?

God's delays are not His absence, and sometimes the greatest miracle is the grace to keep going.
