Title: Why We're HereSpeaker: Pastor Marc WeberDate: 16th May 2026Location: Adelaide, Australia Summary: "We're here today because God ordained us for eternal life." That single line captures what this episode is really about -- not programs, not religion, but the reason God's people keep showing up and pressing forward together. This episode looks at why followers of Jesus gather at all, and what actually motivates a life set apart from the world. Drawing from 1 John 3, 1 Corinthians 13, Ephesians 6, and 2 Corinthians 4, the episode explores the unseen spiritual reality that underpins everyday faith. The hope of Christ's return isn't just a future event to look forward to -- it's an active force that shapes how we live right now. There's also an honest look at the love that holds God's people together -- not a surface-level niceness, but the kind of love that speaks truth, corrects gently, forgives the seemingly unforgivable, and keeps pushing us toward something eternal. The greatest days aren't behind us. They're still to come. Key Points: The hope of Jesus returning is meant to be a daily motivation for righteous living, not just a distant belief The things that matter most -- the spiritual realities we're part of -- are unseen, and only accessible through the Holy Spirit The love that holds God's people together is active and truthful, not just emotionally warm -- it corrects, inspires, and forgives Reference Scriptures: 1 John 3:1-3 1 Corinthians 13:12 Ephesians 6:12 Ecclesiastes 3:11 John 13:35 John 3:19-21 2 Corinthians 4:17-18 Hebrews 12:6 1 John 1:7, 9 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.

Title: Seizing The MomentSpeaker: Pastor Marc WeberDate: 28th September 2025Location: Adelaide, Australia This episode reflects on the beauty of creation, the passing of time, and the importance of seizing every moment with purpose. Drawing from passages in Psalms, Ecclesiastes, Galatians, and Revelation, it explores how God calls us to live fully in the present—grounded in faith, aware of eternity, and responsive to His direction. The message also unpacks the topic of predestination, clarifying that while God has prepared a way for salvation, each person must choose to walk in it. With powerful reminders about living intentionally, guarding the heart, and staying spiritually awake, this episode encourages renewed commitment to our walk with God as we see “the day approaching.” 3 Key Points: Time is a gift from God—each moment offers an opportunity to live with purpose and faith. God’s plan gives us free will to choose His way; salvation is not automatic but personal. The call to “seize the moment” means rekindling our passion for God and living with eternity in view.

Satipaṭṭhāna as a cartography of human expericence: the 'raw materials' to establish mindfulness in. (This is not the satipaṭṭhāna as exercise but their use as a map of the somatic, hedonic, affective and discursive aspects of mind.) This orientation helps greatly with the actual practice of satipatthana exercises outline elsewhere.

(Insight Meditation Society - Retreat Center) Body as a construct. On touch (phassa) and touching and being touched (phusati). Differing senses create a different relationship - 'seeing', 'hearing' and 'touching' as analogies for attending to something create a different kind of relationship to ourselves. The visual is overdetermined, often at the expense of touch. Feeling the body as an experience of touch rather than being 'observed'.'.
