Welcome to Day 42 of the Pentecast on LOVECHURCH — The Podcast. Today, Tim is joined by Abi Andrews as they dive into Paul’s powerful letter to the Ephesians — a radiant, Spirit-filled vision of the Church and God’s love.Paul writes that “through the Church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known” — manifold meaning many-coloured, diverse, rich, and vibrant. Tim and Abi reflect on this beautiful picture of a multiracial, multicultural Church united not by background or status, but by Christ. Abi shares how this vision has come alive for her in worship — especially moments when the congregation prays in different languages, giving a glimpse of heaven on Earth.At the heart of the episode is Paul’s extraordinary prayer in Ephesians 3: “that you... may have power... to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ… and to know this love that surpasses knowledge.” It’s a breathtaking request — to be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.As Tim and Abi discuss, this is not just a lofty idea, but something Paul deeply believed the Church could and should experience — and something we can still pray for today.Join them in asking God for a deeper experience of His love and unity in His Church, that we might display the full spectrum of His wisdom and glory.See you tomorrow for Day 43.

The Pentecast: Day 41 - Clement Tracol
Welcome to Day 41 of the Pentecast on LOVECHURCH — The Podcast. Today, Tim is joined by Clement Tracol as they reflect on two of the most beloved and challenging chapters in the New Testament: 1 Corinthians 12 and 13.Paul begins in chapter 12 with a vision of the church as one unified body, made up of many parts. Each person is gifted in unique ways by the Holy Spirit — not for personal status, but to build up the whole body. But then, in chapter 13, Paul pivots to what truly matters most: love.Clement reminds us that the gifts are nothing without love at the centre. We’re called not only to serve and use our gifts within the church, but to love others deeply — including those outside the church. Tim reflects on how powerful and piercing Paul's words are: “Love is patient, love is kind… it always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.”Together they explore how love is more than a feeling — it’s a radical, mature choice to treat others with grace, patience, and perseverance. And when we’re not sure what to do? If in doubt, love.Join them in praying to live the most excellent way today — to be known not just for what we do, but how we love.See you tomorrow for Day 42. Hosted on Acast.

The Pentecast: Day 40 - Prue Bedwell
Welcome to Day 40 of the Pentecast on LOVECHURCH — The Podcast. Today, Tim is joined by Prue Bedwell to reflect on the towering theological masterpiece that is Romans chapter 8 — often called the Everest of the New Testament.From its bold opening — “There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” — to its triumphant finale — “Nothing can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord” — this chapter is a sweeping celebration of the gospel.Prue highlights how often we walk under self-condemnation, forgetting that God does not condemn us. Instead, we are adopted into his family, led by his Spirit, and completely secure in his love. This isn’t just head knowledge or abstract theology — it’s about knowing deep down that we are children of God.Tim reminds us that being a Christian is not merely about believing the right things — it’s about experiencing God’s Spirit leading us, day by day. The challenge is to live like we truly are God’s children, asking for a fresh filling of the Spirit and embracing our identity in him.Join them in praying for a deeper awareness of God’s love today — especially for anyone feeling shame or condemnation. You are not alone. You are not unloved. You are his.See you tomorrow for Day 41. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Pentecast: Day 39 - Steve Hynde
Welcome to Day 39 of the Pentecast on LOVECHURCH — The Podcast. Today, Tim is joined by Steve Hynde for his final episode in the series, as they focus on the church in Antioch — a model community of courage, leadership, and global mission.Reading from Acts 11:19–30 and 13:1–3 (with a glance at Acts 14:21–28), we’re reminded that Antioch emerged in the wake of Stephen’s martyrdom and the widespread persecution of early Christians. What man meant for harm, God used for the spread of the gospel. From this place of pressure, a powerhouse church was born — one known for its depth of teaching, prophetic ministry, generosity, and missional focus.Tim reflects on how this vibrant church earned the name “Christian” — little Christs — because they looked and acted like Jesus, even under intense pressure. Steve highlights how hardship forged strength, not just in Antioch, but in faithful believers throughout history. The conversation reminds us that comfort often dulls the church’s edge, but adversity can sharpen it.There’s a challenge here too: are we living with the Antioch mindset today? Are we raising leaders, sending people out, and standing strong together in both worship and witness?Join them in asking God to shape our churches with the same grit, grace and gospel-hearted vision as Antioch.
