Our moral code is flawed, it can not compare to God, the creator.
And so Paul is reminding us that the Gospel is a realistic hope, a hope that was promised, and through the Son of God, Jesus Christ, we have a solution to all of our mess, all our flaws and to where we fall short.
In today's sermon, we delve into a powerful and often uncomfortable topic: the real threat of God's wrath. Drawing from Paul's reflections on the Graeco-Roman society, we explore the urgent warning he issues—a warning that, if heeded, promises to lead us to life through the Gospel.

Genesis of Grace -Badi Badibanga

The Genesis story is full of disappointing stories that can leave us wondering if there is indeed a God of Grace in the midst of all of it but soaked even deeper that the sin we see in these stories is the boundless grace of God.
We all at some point struggle to reconcile the presence of a good God amidst the evil we see in the scriptures and our world today.

When we get impatient waiting for God’s promises we try to take control.
Our hearts desire to be heard, seen and understood.

This grace is accessible to you every day.

As we search for Him in the scriptures, God consistently reveals Himself to us with mercy, love, and grace.
What will 2024 hold, are we bracing ourselves as we prepare for this year? And when we cry out to God this year what will His response be.
We are never in doubt about His response when we know who our God is. He himself has revealed His Character to us!
He will always respond with mercy, love and grace.
Speak with Joy… but how when life is hard and things are difficult, well Christmas is for the weary!
The God of the past is still the same God who is in your life today. Reflect and look back on the past, and see how God has delivered you in every helpless situation. God’s promises and His covenant with his people endure forever. He has and he will continue to sustain you.
Look back, and thank God, because He has been with us, we can hold onto God’s faithfulness and from this place speak with joy.
Serve with Joy
Our simple surrender turns to joyful serving as we realise nothing is impossible with God.
God uses Elizabeth to help Mary see the honour given to her, that God was actively involved in her life. This realisation waterfalls into praise and gratitude as Mary signs to the Lord.
God uses the poor, the lowly and the humble.
So let us Start with Surrender, knowing that Gods plans for our lives are far greater than what we have planned. So surrender to Him, the creator of the universe. What does serving mean to you?
Start with joy, this festive season!
Not an artificial joy because of lights and Christmas trees, but a true and everlasting joy!
As christian let us live differently, not because of us but because of He who has accepted us.
We are in community with God, we are his beloved! God is the true source of joy!
We get to own that we are sinful daily and then, disown our sin daily, this is the generator that produces joy.
Let us not settle for less, only He can sustain us!
God's grace is unfailing. It will never end!
It will never run out and never give up on you.
We can rest assured of this, as Jesus Christ is the high priest. We don’t need to lose hope or fear, but in all things, we can turn to Christ and draw near to God. Finding unfading grace in the arms of God.

Join us as we finish our two part series Finding Joyful Rest in Psalm 23, and we look specifically at Psalm 23:5-6.
We can find rest in God because He is our provider. God is our provider, who has provided specially, willingly and generously. But without contentment you will never find rest.
We can find rest in God because He cares for us, even in our brokenness, He restores us and refreshes our souls.
We can find rest in God’s presence. We can have, as David had, deep meaningful relationship with God.
So in light of this let us submit to God our host, and let Him lead us. Let us come to Him and find that in Him is true rest and true joy.
As Christians we are eternally thankful for God’s grace of salvation in sending Jesus to die for us, we must be thankful for the blessing that revelation of Jesus’ life was. Through Jesus, we can know God, and he came to teach us how to live as followers of God. We have come to learn through Jesus what the Kingdom of God is like and how those who belong to the Kingdom of God should conduct themselves.
We see this not only in the life of Jesus but also right here in Genesis, as we get to be witness to the faithful obedience of Abram.
The initial stages involve technological advancements and the desire to create a city with a temple compound. This city and temple are intended to serve as a unifying force among the people. God, however, observes their efforts and judges them unfavourably.
God's response is to diversify their languages, effectively disrupting their endeavors. What was actually taking place at Babel was humanity's distortion of its view of God. They were beginning to construct a deity of their own making - a god whose needs could be met through human actions. In return, this god was expected to bless humanity with a prosperous future.
This narrative prompts us to introspect and ask a critical question: "Where am I fashioning a god of my own making?" Are we unwittingly shaping a god we can manipulate and control, expecting specific outcomes in various situations?
Watch this sermon to hear how we can be sure not to fall into trying to earn God’s favour!
Join us for an inspiring sermon that delves into the timeless wisdom of Genesis 10. In this powerful message, we explore how, even after the great Flood, the corruption of the human heart persists, causing patterns of brokenness and sinfulness to repeat themselves.
However, Genesis 10 reminds us that amidst human frailty, the unwavering faithfulness of God shines through. Discover how God's faithfulness continues to prevail despite our imperfections. Don't miss this enlightening sermon that offers hope, encouragement, and a deeper understanding of God's enduring love and faithfulness.
Join us as we seek clarity on this text and explain the relatively common misinterpretation that has been used to justify racial acts for years.
Commonly referred to as the Curse of Ham, the case was made historically from this text that God had willed that the descendants of Ham, i.e., Black Africans, would be enslaved perpetually by other people groups. And that belief, and it's subsequent degradation and subjugation of Black people, can be traced across Judaism, Islam, and Christianity.
Now, get this, such gross misinterpretation of Genesis 9 and 11 in building a biblical case for the institutions of slavery and Apartheid wasn’t just made by politicians and secular people of that time – but it was also made by Christians, pastors, theologians, and denominations.
We have the privilege of living in an age where one would be hard-pressed to justify the atrocities of both slavery and Apartheid. And yet, we shouldn’t be easily dismissive of the fact that the Bible was historically misused, through texts like these, to justify the unjustifiable – even by Christians!
Have a listen to the sermon to find out why we should be so careful of misinterpreting the bible and the key observations in this text IN CONTEXT!
Join us for a profound sermon on Genesis 8:1 - 9:17 as we delve into the incredible story of Noah's Ark and the everlasting covenant between God and humanity.
The story of Noah is about the grace of God. We witness God's promise never to destroy the Earth with a flood again, and the significance of the rainbow as a symbol of hope and grace.
We are saved from the grace of God by the grace of God
What does this mean? Join us in Genesis 6:9 to 7:24 for a profound message of God’s Grace and our desperate need for it.
We need to be saved by the grace of God! This requires God to initiate and humanity to respond.
We are saved by God alone, and as we look at the story of Noah and the ark we learn that there is nothing we can do to earn this grace, it is simply a gift from God.
Have you ever asked yourself why we fall into sin so often?
Join us as we delve into Genesis 6:1-8 this week and explore the profound message of divine grace evident in this text.
Redemption already assumes the reality of judgment and condemnation. Because you don’t redeem things that are already perfect and have no need of change. And so, for God to redeem, He must have already judged that which He is redeeming as flawed and deserving of being cast aside. And so, it is by the same grace that God both redeems and judges!
A sneak peek into our evening services!
Join us for a deeply inspiring sermon on Psalm 84 from our friend Musa who is a pastor at Christ Central Soweto, where we delve into the profound message of finding joy in dwelling with God.
In this thought-provoking sermon, we explore the timeless wisdom of Psalm 84 and its relevance in our lives today.
Whether you're a lifelong believer or just beginning to explore your faith, this sermon will provide you with valuable wisdom.
A life of faith is meant to be a life of joy. Yet, so often our experiences don’t seem to match this confession. Why? Could it be that you have sought joy in places and things and, if you were honest, these leave you feeling empty?
A life of faith is a life of joy! This joy is found in the person and work of Jesus Christ alone.
Join us as we start this short series "Joy in a Fallen world" and this week we look at Psalm 32:1-5 and see that confession truly leads to freedom!
When we confess we internalise and truly experience the forgiveness that is already ours.

Proverbs 31:30-31 (NIV) says: "Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Honour her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate."
Through the lens of Proverbs 31, we explore the significance of fearing the Lord ns how that actually draws us closer to His grace and mercy.
Join us as we pay tribute to the remarkable women in our lives, applauding their unwavering commitment to faith, family, and service. Let us embrace the wisdom found in Proverbs 31 and honour these incredible women who have enriched our lives in immeasurable ways.
Exploring Genesis 5
Join us for an insightful sermon as we delve deep into Genesis 5, a chapter that unveils the genealogy of humankind. In this thought-provoking message, we will connect the dots between the generations, understanding the significance of each name and the lessons they hold for us today.
There is a pattern of life and death because of the consequences of the fall, BUT the righteous shall live on because of the grace of God.
But because of the grace of God, in sending his Son Jesus Christ to die in our place, the sting, the power of that final enemy of death has been defeated!
In this powerful message, we'll explore Genesis 4 and unravel the significance of each moment in the story. From the brothers' contrasting offerings to God, the emotions of jealousy and anger that arise, to the devastating act of fratricide.
We encounter the complexities of human nature, and how it gets worse when we choose to ignore the word of God, but in that the depths of God's mercy and justice.

We are in part 2 of Genesis 3. Join us as we dive into the profound wisdom found in Genesis 3:17-19, and explore the implications of the Fall and its consequences for man and mankind.
In this passage, we encounter the aftermath of Adam and Eve's disobedience in the Garden of Eden. God addresses Adam directly, pronouncing a curse upon the ground because of his sin.
The very creation that once yielded abundance and provision for Adam will now be marked by toil, thorns, and sweat.
Moreover, we will find hope in the midst of the curse as we discover God's unwavering faithfulness and His plan for redemption. We will explore the promise of a Savior who would ultimately crush the power of sin and restore what was lost in the Garden.
In this sermon, we delve into the profound words of Genesis 3:16, a verse that holds deep significance for understanding God's design for relationships and the consequences of the fall. Join us as we explore this pivotal verse's timeless truths and practical insights.
In Genesis 3:16, we witness the aftermath of Adam and Eve's disobedience in the Garden of Eden. This verse specifically addresses Eve, revealing the consequences she and all women would face as a result of the original sin. Through careful study and interpretation, we unravel the layers of meaning in this verse and uncover its profound impact on the dynamics between men and women, both historically and today.
In this powerful sermon, we delve into the profound teachings of Genesis chapter 3.
In Genesis chapter 3, we witness the tragic consequences of Adam and Eve's disobedience to God's command. Through their choice to eat from the forbidden tree, they experienced the fall from a perfect and harmonious relationship with God.
Amidst the darkness that engulfs the story, we find a glimmer of hope. God, in His infinite mercy, does not abandon humanity to the consequences of their sin. He promises a future redemption through the seed of the woman, foreshadowing the coming of Jesus Christ, who will ultimately provide salvation for all.
Through this sermon, we explore the vital lesson that God's Word serves. Just as Adam and Eve lacked discernment and failed to fully grasp the implications of their actions, we, too, are prone to make choices that separate us from God's perfect plan. However, through diligent study and application of the Scriptures, we can gain wisdom, discernment, and understanding, enabling us to walk in alignment with God's will.
Join us as we delve into the rich depths of Genesis chapter 3, drawing practical and transformative insights to apply to our lives today.

In Genesis 2, we witness the Lord forming Adam from the dust of the ground, breathing life into his nostrils, and granting him the extraordinary privilege of being the first man. However, God saw that it was not good for Adam to be alone, highlighting the divine design for companionship and unity. Recognising this need, the Lord brought forth a magnificent creation, Eve, fashioned from Adam's rib.
Together, they were designed to be the perfect complement to one another—a profound representation of the image of God. As we unpack the significance of this divine creation, we delve into the depths of God's plan for relationships, love, and the beauty of unity.
In this sermon, we will explore the story of creation in Genesis 2 and discover the profound lessons it has for us about dwelling in the presence of God. We will delve into the account of how God formed Adam from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life.
As we reflect on this narrative, we will see that God's intention was for humanity to walk in holiness before God, sustain the worship of God, and extend the kingdom of God!
In this sermon we had the privilege of hearing from a guest preacher, Sibusiso Mlotshwa.
Sibusiso, dived into Luke 5:1-11. In this passage we witness the miraculous catch of fish by Simon, Peter, James, and John.
The overflowing catch of fish leaves Simon and Peter in awe of Jesus' power and authority. However, what follows is even more astonishing. Jesus tells Simon and Peter to not be afraid and that they will no longer be catching fish but rather catching people as they become disciples and follow Jesus.
This passage demonstrates the abundant and undeserved grace that Jesus offers to all of us. Just like how Jesus saw potential in Simon and Peter, He sees potential in each and every one of us. No matter our past mistakes or shortcomings, Jesus offers us the opportunity to become His disciples and serve Him.
What does it mean to be set-apart?
In this sermon, we'll explore what it means to live a set-apart life as a Christian. As believers, we are called to be different from the world and to live in a way that reflects the character of Christ.
We should be separate, not separated; Set-apart, not set against
Are You Getting the Cart Before the Horse?
We often focus on the wrong things and get our priorities wrong.
This can lead us to become legalistic Christians, because we focus on the small thing instead of focusing on the big picture and who Christ is and what He has done. And a legalistic Christian doesn’t see the Heart of God.
God is not concerned with you looking holy, He is concerned with you being holy. be and become a Merciful Christian, someone who feeds those who are hungry, and helps those in need.
Mark 12:7 - “I desire mercy, not sacrifice”
Let's see others as more important than ourselves.
Look to the Son of Man, He is the Lord of the Sabbath. He is fully God and fully human, He is the who all kingdom will be handed to and is the true king.
We explore the profound truth that Jesus' death was a ransom paid by God through Christ for us. In this message, we'll delve into the costly intervention required to free us from our own sin and how Jesus died as our substitution.
We'll discover the amazing grace and mercy of God, who has saved us from the judgment we deserve through Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. If you've ever felt weighed down by guilt or shame, or if you simply want to deepen your understanding of God's incredible love for you, then this sermon is for you.
Don't miss out on this life-changing message. Join us for Palm Sunday and be inspired to live in the freedom and victory that comes through Christ's sacrifice. See you there!
The well-being of creation doesn’t depend on endless work. God gave us a day of rest a day to stop and He blessed it.
When we stop we declared that God is in control. When we stop we acknowledge that God is the King of the universe and doesn’t need us to work. When we stop we declare that we don’t find identity in what we do. When we stop we declare that we are limited and need replenishing. When we stop we declare that we are free from the culture of the world. When we stop we declare that we live what we believe.
In this sermon, we will delve into the first chapter of Genesis and explore the theological declaration of God's grace in creating a perfect world at the very beginning. Through the power of His word, God brought forth light, land, water, and all living creatures in a beautiful and harmonious creation.
As we examine this foundational text, we will gain a deeper understanding of God's character and His desire to bless and provide for His creation.
Join us as we uncover the profound truths and implications of Genesis 1 and reflect on how we can better live in harmony with God's perfect design.
In this sermon, we dive into what God has said to us in His word and why we should listen to what has been said.
Whether we are facing challenging circumstances or simply seeking a deeper understanding of our faith, the Bible provides us with the guidance and support we need to navigate life's journey.
May the words we share today bring you hope, peace, and a renewed sense of purpose in your journey of faith.
Have you ever wondered why we preach the way we preach?
David so beautifully depicted that all scripture is breathed out by God as we read in Timothy 3:16.
Do you crave genuine intimacy?
Matthew Thomas from Pulse Church, shared with us about how we can do nothing apart from God. But to get to a place of intimacy we need bring our true selfs before the Lord, we don't need to be ashamed. We can be open and vulnerable with our God who is gracious, compassionate and slow to anger.
It is our greatest need and out greatest privilege to love the Lord with all our hearts, mind, soul and strength.
Do you crave peace?
One thing that is offered to us by God is peace. A peace that surpasses all understanding.
Dave dives into Psalm 131 and explains how we need to choose peace instead of pride. Every one of us struggles with pride at some point in our lives.
One way we can do this is by focusing on the pleasure of God instead of the pleasure of life. Treasuring God and not just the gifts from God.
Are you feeling anxious or fearful for 2023?
As our series For The Journey continues, Dave dives into Psalm 126 this week and explains how we can have JOY this year even if we have struggles and sorrow.
In Psalm 126 we learn that those who sow their tears shall reap in joy!
The Lord has done great things for us;
we are glad. - Psalm 126:3
Where does your help come from?
As we reflect on 2022 one thing that was constant was God's faithfulness to us. That should give us hope for this year!
God is our protector and He will keep us. His protection is contact and complete.
Our God never slumbers and therefore, he is always paying attention to our cries out for help.
Turn to God in your times of need during 2023, He will sustain you and protect you.
Psalm 121:1-8
You are not alone!
The word tells us that Jesus is our promised shepherd and that He will carry us next to his heart. He carries us close to Him.
In whatever is coming, recognise that you are close to Christ's heart and that he is holding you and gently leading you.
Let Christ be your good shepherd. He knows you and He has laid down His life down for you.
Isa 53:4-7
John 10:10-16
Isa 40:10-11
We have a promised saviour.
There is good news for those who are poor in spirit. There are spiritual riches for you.
The brokenhearted will be comforted, and their wounds of sin will be healed.
There is freedom for those who are bound. The prison of death has no power, He gives us liberty.
Jesus Christ came as a baby, to fulfil the promises, and die for us so that we could have eternity with God.
What marks your faith?
What events and things in your life point to God and His work in and around you?
When you need to fight for your faith, when you need to stand up for your faith what are the road marking you can look back to, to know that God is at work!
Your story - God's work of faith.
Your service - your labour prompted by love.
Your endurance - steadfastness inspired by hope.
Take courage BBC, God is leaving His fingerprints all over your life.
What do you do when you are not only in the darkness but when the darkness is in you?
Come into community, be accountable, and walk with your brothers and sisters in Christ so that they may be a light to help you see Jesus.
You are not alone when you belong to a community, so your sin affects not only you but the family of faith around you, but when your sin is exposed in community you are set free, and can walk in truth.
Don't let sin in your life isolate, capture and destroy you, let the light shine on you, exposing the darkness and setting you free.
Throughout the Bible and throughout the example of the early church we can see that church membership is implied. It would be a foreign consent in the early church to come to faith and not be commented to a local church, a local body.
We see this in the metaphor of the body. (1 Cor 12:12-13)As Christians, we are not isolated or independent. We belong to a body of people, set apart for God, each of us having a necessary function. If one part of the body suffers we all suffer.
We bare each other's burdens, carrying one another and making each other's lives richer.
Are you apart of a church family?
Are you longing for a place to BELONG?
How do you view the church? Is it an add-on to your life or is it something fundamentally necessary to your faith?
As Christians, we are defined by Love, the way we love the people around us, and in that, we receive the love of the Lord. We express love as we do life together.
We can not take our walk with God lightly, and church is essential to our walk with Christ. We need church so we can love one another, do life together, and share in our communal identity.
No matter what circumstances we face, no matter what is happening in our lives we can find comfort in the fact that God's grace is sufficient.
When we are weak HE is strong, and HIS power is made perfect in our weakness!
Privilege is a topic we need to approach with spiritual maturity and insight.
Knowing that in some way we all have some privileged, through God's common grace. What truly matters is not how much or little privilege you have, but what you are doing with what you do have, in the eyes of God.
We as fallen humans look to prioritise ourselves with the privileges we have, but rather with our privilege let us maximise the significance and impact of God's glory in and through our lives.
Beware of squandering your privilege through self-preservation
A study from the book of Esther
Are you harbouring an attitude of unwanted pride and letting that boilover, blinding you and harming others.
Turn to God, who delivers the undeserving and destroys the guilty.
As a righteous God He must judge, but he has made a way for us. Justifying us by grace and faith alone at the cross of Christ.
God's providence prevails despite our brokenness and depravity.
We all have power over someone, and this power is easily weaponised!
We see just how power is used in the book of Esther, and in our world today. We can be potent in status but impotent in Character, like King Xerxes, whose power is used by others to benefit their own genders.
We are reminded, however, that God has the ultimate power, and that His providence prevails!
We need to surrender to the saving grace of Jesus Christ and to the sanctifying grace of the Holy Spirit!
Do you trust in God, even when the world is full of brokenness and depravity?
As we journey through the book of Esther, we see how our faithful God is always present and that His Providence prevails despite our depravity.
Together, let's rest in the province of God, putting our hope and trust in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
We have been given a grace that grants pardon and gives power! Live from that grace, stand firm in it!
We do this by recognising the grace we have been given and living out small acts of grace to others.
When facing hardship in our lives do we focus on how big our problem is, or how big our God is? Never doubt the care God has for you, you are never alone.
This Sunday, as we look at this passage, we show that the God we serve is a God who knows us and cares deeply for us. It is we who need to respond in humility and faith!
Tune in to this sermon to find out how to be clothed with humility.
Have you ever observed how clothing has the ability to mark certain people and make them noticeable? What if there was something that God desired for His church to be noticed by and what if it had to do with being clothed with humility?
Tune in to this sermon to find out how to be clothed with humility.
Suffering is a reality that none of us can escape. So, how do we not just make peace with it, but make the effort to repurpose suffering in our life for the pursuit of Christ?
Tune in to this sermon to find out how we can not waste our suffering.
A study through the book of 1 Peter (1 Peter 4:7-11)
The return of Christ is imminent, but how much does that reality, that conviction impact our daily lives, our decisions, our priorities?
Tune in to this sermon to find out how we can live what we believe.
A study through the book of 1 Peter (1 Peter 4:1-6)
Who is our greatest foe and how do we, as believers, overcome him? The answer might surprise you! Tune in to this sermon to learn about not just the victory we already have in Christ, but how that reality can be our daily experience.
When we feel useless to the people in our lives, we can start asking the question: “Can God use me?” The answer to this question is… YES! We believe in and serve a God who sees.
In our short mini-series titled “Anonymous Heroes,” we explore the grace of our God through the lives of three women in the Bible.
When we're called inadequate by the people in our lives, know that we are not inadequate in God's eyes! God sees and hears us! And so, in these moments we can praise Him for the hope we have in Jesus.
In our short mini-series titled “Anonymous Heroes,” we explore the grace of our God through the lives of three women in the Bible.
When we feel forgotten by the people in our lives, we can start asking the question: “Has God forgotten me?” The answer to this question is… Never! We believe in and serve a God who sees.
In our short mini-series titled “Anonymous Heroes,” we explore the grace of our God through the lives of three women in the Bible.
When we suffer as Christians, this can leave us asking questions as we try to understand the point of our suffering. The good news is that our suffering is not for nothing.
Tune into this sermon to explore the hope that is in us and how this hope helps us in the midst of suffering.
As Christians, we are called to actively bless those who mistreat us. Now, this isn't an easy thing to do on the best of days. So the question we need to be asking ourselves is why do we need to do this and how?
Tune in to this sermon to hear the answers.
The moral superiority of men is not a biblically faithful and gospel-centred idea. The Bible gives us clear guidance as to what is the crowning characteristic of a man's true strength.
Tune in to this sermon to find out about this characteristic.
The moral subjugation of women is not a biblically faithful and gospel-centred idea. The Bible gives us clear guidance as to what is the crowning characteristic of a woman's true beauty.
Tune in to this sermon to find out about this characteristic.
A biblically faithful and gospel-centered theology of the body brings clarity to our existence. So glorify God by honouring the body God has gifted you with.
Tune in to this sermon from Badi to find out how, in this prologue to 1 Peter 3:1-7!

What does it me to treat your employees with benevolence, even if you don’t think they deserve it? As employers, we are called to honour our employees and quickly forgive their shortcomings in light of the Cross of Christ.
Tune in to this sermon from Badi to find out how!
We have all felt the unrelenting pull towards either immense respect or utter disdain for our bosses... What if, no matter the circumstance, we were called to honour our employers with our performance?
Tune in to this sermon from Badi to find out how!
Honour the government with your citizenship. This is a statement that can leave us feeling a mixed bag of emotions... So what do we do?
Tune in to this sermon to find out how to live a life of significance and honour in our land!
The local church is the primary institution from which Christians are to live out their calling in society.
The way we honour the local church is through seeing her rightly, connecting to her faithfully and acting through her intentionally.
As we jump back into our series, we being to explore the practical implications of what it means to live a life of significance: God calls his people to radiate his character and goodness by their conduct.
A life of significance is a call to live a life of honour.
When it comes to our growth in the faith, it can sometimes feel like the weight of this transformation is our own responsibility. But, what if there was something more, something better, to fix our gaze on as we consider our sanctification?
Tune into this sermon as Rhynhardt de Bruin shares about the road we are on as Christians and the joy we can find on this journey.
This is something we have grown up hearing a lot about... It's in our movies, it's in our songs, it's something we think about and something we feel... Love... But do we truly know what it means when we say, "God Is Love"?
Tune into this sermon as Richard van Lieshout shares on biblical love and how we are called to love one another.
We all know that feeling… We’ve all wrestled with procrastination and potentially still wrestle with it in our lives. The problem is that procrastination affects everything in our lives, including our relationship with Jesus.
We’ve been given a better option, a way to overcome procrastination. It’s time to revive and repeat the joy that can be found in Christ and truly connect with our purpose.
Easter Sunday is all about the factual, historical, and spiritual reality of the resurrection of Jesus Christ!
This is the joy we have as Christians... He has Risen!
Our lives have been muddied by the depths of sin… We recognise its consequences…
But, as we truly consider the beauty of the cross of Christ, we see that Christ gives us righteousness and understanding beyond our wildest dreams.
When everything in our lives seems to be readily accessible, do we give enough consideration to how inaccessible God is because of His holiness?
We have a holy God, and it is only because of the cross of Christ that we have access to Him.
When you think of the cross of Christ… What comes to mind?
This question can leave people with a number of different answers, but what if we start right here… The cross of Christ reveals God’s wisdom and power!
When it comes to growth in your spiritual life, where do you start?
We mature as Christians by discarding certain behaviours, desiring God's Word and being a part of God's building.
We were created to be deeply loved. We were also created to deeply love others. We are a people defined by love… But what does this actually mean?
Unconditional… Unceasing… Sincere Love.
We need to have a reverential fear of God, knowing that He has certain expectations and instructions on how we are to live.
God will keep us accountable for our actions… Let’s strive toward conduct that is worthy in His sight.
We are called to be holy in all our conduct. This seems like an overwhelming request if we are to do it on our own. Thankfully, we don't have to do it alone because we have a holy God, who teaches us how to be holy.
Let's strive to bear the family resemblance of His holiness; in mind, feeling and outlook we get to pursue holiness.
The Gospel of Jesus does effect our world! It may not always feel like this when we look at the world and its struggles… In these moments, what are we to do?
It’s time to live with hope… Let’s strive together to prepare our minds for action and live sober-minded as we set our gaze on Jesus.
What are the top 10 thoughts that currently dominate your thinking? Family, finances, future plans, work pressures, past regrets, current struggles… Does your salvation make this list?
When we truly understand our salvation, we experience greater clarity in this life.
How do we love, believe in and have joy in Jesus, when we can’t see Him?
It is through the testimonies we hear, and the impact of Jesus we see in others that grows in us a deeper love, stronger belief and greater joy.
Suffering… Trials… Pain… Surely a life of significance doesn’t include these elements?
What if a life of significance is not about the absence of suffering, but the presence of joy!
How is your faith doing? Are you feeling drained and tired? We have some good news for you!
When it comes to understanding our salvation in Christ, we can find such hope in knowing that it is God alone who protects and guards our faith in Jesus.
There is something about being human, something about waking up every morning and feeling our hearts beat in our chests. We know it means something…
What if there was a way to answer this deep call for purpose? A way to live A Life of Significance?
We all too easily buy into the thinking that God is not present when our circumstances may say different. The problem here may not be God’s presence, but our awareness of His presence.
As we grow in the awareness of God, we can experience the hope, grace and love of the Lord.
What pleases God? What life is pleasing to Him?
We are called to be people who show love to the poor and step into the mess of others. We are called to live counter-culturally.
Do you want more money? It can almost seem like a silly question, right? What if there was more to our answer than we realised… What if our answer to this question revealed whether we are truly content with what we have?
Contentment is a choice we make. Check out this sermon to find out how to make this choice.
Here’s a question for you… Do you think enough about sex? We think you could be thinking more about sex!
Check out this sermon where we explore the topic of sex from a biblical perspective.
In the midst of trials and the world’s brokenness, what type of people are we to be?
We are to be a people of real, true and lasting hope! We have hope!
Have you ever had a meal that tastes good, but you know there is something missing that would just bring the whole meal together? Maybe more spice, or a different ingredient…
This isn’t a feeling that just exists with food… Maybe you feel like there is something missing in your faith? Tune into this sermon as Matthew Thomas shares what it is that could be missing from your relationship with Jesus.
Let’s answer the call to let the love of God, at work in our hearts, continue throughout our lives by being hospitable to those we know and those we don’t know.
We all will face suffering. We all will want answers in our suffering. Sometimes there are no answers. What if God is inviting us to something better?
Will we believe that God is with us in the midst of our suffering, we are loved by Him and this is enough?
Joyous celebration should fill our heart’s as we think of our amazing future! An eternal future in the presence of our God, safe and secure. We don’t have to wait until then to offer acceptable worship, we can offer worship to our God right here, right now!
God is looking to grow us, and one of the ways He does this is through biblical discipline. When He disciplines us, He is offering us the opportunity to partake and enjoy His Holiness because He loves us.
Are you open to biblical discipline?
The Christian race of faith requires that we run with endurance, but this isn’t easy some days. This race may not be easy, but it is worth it!
Will you run your race with endurance?
What does it mean to have Biblical Faith? Is it a “mojo” that you need so that you can believe for anything…? Or maybe an impractical wishful thinking…?
Biblical Faith is none of the above. It’s far more complex, multifaceted and cannot be reduced to a single concept.
We have a God who has created us to enjoy the diversity of His creation. A part of this joy is a deeper sense of worship as we celebrate creativity with other Christians.
This Heritage Day, David Livie unpacks the wonder of our Creative Creation.
We all know that life happens when we least expect it. In these moments, do you have a true friend that has “got your back”?
In this stand-alone sermon, Tumi explores what true, biblical friendship looks like in today’s world.
As a Christian, did you know that your salvation is secure because of Christ and you don’t have to worry about getting in the good books with God?
We encourage you to shift your gaze, stand firm in the Faith and grow in godliness.
Do you know that because the body of Christ was broken on the cross, we can live a transformed life that is unhindered by the shackles of sin?
This is the powerful truth of the Gospel; do you believe it?
There are two options, you either realise that you need forgiving, and so find great value in the blood of Christ; or you don’t acknowledge this reality, and gain nothing from Jesus’s sacrifice.
We implore you… Make the right decision, choose life!
There may be gaps in your faith… Gaps of closeness to God or experiencing His presence or wrestling with legalism. Did you know that God helps us close these gaps, so that we can experience a deeper intimacy with Him?
How does He do this? Well… There is nothing better than Jesus!
When it comes to dealing with the elephants in our home, it’s easier for us to look at the issues of others and conclude, “We’re not the problem”. It’s a different story altogether when you realise you’ve got idols…
How do you deal with the Elephant in your Home?
We all know that feeling, right? Walking through the front door of your home and knowing there is an issue you have to deal with but just don’t know where to start... How do you deal with the Elephant in your Home?
Do you wrestle with believing that you have been saved completely? We have some wonderful news for you: There is nothing better than Jesus!
He is always interceding for you. All you need to do is draw near.
Ever wonder if it’s possible to have hope even when everything seems hopeless?
Our God is a promise making, promise keeping God! As we look to Him and trust in His character, we realise that hope in every circumstance is, actually, possible!
Professing Jesus as Christ is not just a creed we say but a lifestyle we are called to lead. Truly hearing the Word of God leads to doing!
What does persevering in action look like in your life?
The fallen state of the relationship between God and humans was defiled because of sin.
In Jesus, we can have certainty of a better relationship with God. Why? Jesus is the high priest we needed; He is on our side.
Our natural response most often is fight or flight... What if the Christian response is neither, when it comes to serving and suffering? What if you're to stand firm in the midst of whatever comes... Do you think you could do it?
In this, the final episode in our "Broken Faith" sermon series, we explore what it means to rebuild a broken faith.
When things start getting difficult, and life starts pressing in all around you, does your faith hold up under inconvenience?
Hold fast to your faith, and choose to no longer conform to the ways of this world.
In this, our "Broken Faith" sermon series, we explore what it means to rebuild a broken faith.
How quickly do we forget what God has done, in the Bible and in our own lives. We have a faithful Lord, this is something too costly to forget. Let's endeavour together to remember the faithfulness of God.
In this, our new sermon series, we explore what it means to rebuild a broken faith.
God is NOT as approachable as you think; God is FAR MORE approachable than you think. When it comes to our lives, do we truly believe in and depend on the supernatural help and power of God?
All you need to do is draw near…
Christian’s experience more pain, not less… They also experience greater joy, not less… In the end, both realities are invitations to experience a deeper intimacy with the Lord.
We were designed to worship. We can either worship things that will waste away our souls… Or we can worship Jesus, and find satisfaction for our souls!
Suffering is something we all struggle with in our lives. And many times, we can find ourselves asking this question: Why do bad things happen to God’s people?
If you had to evaluate the state of your relationship with the Lord, perform a spiritual audit of sorts, where would you start? How about starting with this question: How good is your God?
Can you lose your Salvation? This is a question we all ask, but is this the right question?
What matters most in your life?
Where do you find yourself giving all your time, energy and effort?
If we said that where you give your time, energy and effort reveals the state of your heart; what condition is your heart in?
In this sermon, Charl Van Wyk takes us through "What Matters".
Whether you have been a Christian for a while, or have just started the journey, the key to remaining faithful to God lies in nothing better than Jesus!
In this sermon, we jump back into study through the book of Hebrews.
God uses ordinary events in our lives in order to accomplish something greater for His glory. We need to shift our gaze and focus on all that the Lord is doing!
In this sermon series, we explore how the Gospel is alive and active in many areas in and around Johannesburg.
Simply put, the Gospel is for everyone! There is no barrier, line or boundary that can prevent the Gospel from prevailing... The Gospel is "Borderless"! In this, a new sermon series, we explore how the Gospel is alive and active in many areas in and around Johannesburg.
This Easter Sunday, we reflected and rejoiced around this one truth: The Son of God Lives!
In this world, we are in a spiritual war, and we need to fight for faith within our families.
It’s time to heed the call… Strengthen Your Bonds!
In this world, we are in a spiritual war, and we need to fight for faith within our families.
It’s time to heed the call… Sharpen your arrows!
Do you desire a better life? God has done something for you that no one else ever could; we have a second chance!
This is the greatest opportunity that you could ever be offered.
We’ve learnt the hard way that ignoring a warning can lead to regret. Have you ever ignored a warning and found yourself regretting it afterwards?
Ignoring Jesus will prove to be more risky and extremely costly.
Who are we? Where do we come from? What purpose is there to our existence?
Difficult questions, we know! But, we can have answers because of this simply truth: God Has Spoken.
We can know Him. He has revealed Himself to us. We have been set apart to follow Him. This is a call to faith and to perseverance.
In confidence we declare that there is Nothing Better Than Jesus.
Can you say that you are living your best life? What if you could, starting right now!
As we conclude our sermon series, “Celebrating our Church Plants”, Kevin Aldridge shows us that living the best life starts by living for Jesus.
When 2021 doesn’t seem to come with a 30-day return policy, what are we to do with the year we have been given?
As we continue on in our sermon series, “Celebrating our Church Plants”, Tumi Moraba from True North Church encourages us to depend on the faithfulness of God.
In this strange time, when everything around you seems different and new, what if the only new thing is actually you?
As we begin our new sermon series, “Celebrating our Church Plants”, Matt Thomas from Pulse Church encourages us to live in light of the new creations we are in Christ Jesus.
Love is risky... Love is costly… But, we can be certain of this fact: Love never fails.
In the final sermon of our current series, we are encouraged to love at all costs as we Enter 2021.
We may have started a new year, but do you feel hopeful? Is hope even possible…? Absolutely!
In the second sermon of our current series, we are encouraged by the fact that we can have hope as we Enter 2021.

We want to say a huge 'Thank You' to DC Coffee Co. Fourways for allowing us to shoot in their stunning coffee shop.
When it comes to fighting for our faith, we must be battle ready.
In week 2 of our Fight For Faith sermon series, we see that we need to be prepared for the battle of the mind.
Are you ready for this battle?
What you are prepared to fight for, reveals what is most important to you… The question is, of all the things worth fighting for, does your faith make it on the list?
As we start our new sermon series through the book of Jude, we explore the reality of being called to Fight For Faith.
We all have something to give! As ordinary people, who live empowered by the Spirit of God, we go on to see tangible change in our own lives and the lives of others.

In today’s stand-alone sermon, we hear from one of our BBC Elders, as he shares on our God of renewal.
Do your possessions cause you much anxiety in your life? In moments like this, it’s important to remember that Jesus is more concerned with what is in our hearts than what is in our hands.
In today’s sermon, we hear from our Gospel Partner, True North Church, as they continue in their series titled “Sermon on the Mount”.
We all like nice things. However, we have to ask the question, what are these nice things really worth? When it comes to our possessions, Jesus wants to speak to us about where we place our value.
In today’s sermon, we hear from our Gospel Partner, True North Church, as they continue in their series titled “Sermon on the Mount”.
Now that we have a plan that promises specific outcomes, our next step is simple: Act on the Plan
In the final part of the “Our Story” series, we expand on what this means and how we can start seeing the fruits of acting on the plan in our lives.
What outcome are you in need of most in your life? The guide comes alongside us, with a particular plan, promising that if we follow the process we can be certain of this: our salvation, sanctification and mission.

In different seasons we face challenges & concerns, both personally and as a people. Often it is in these seasons that we are left asking, “Can my life get better?” But does God feel the same way?

As part of our Celebration Sunday service we spent time recapping our Let's Testify sermon series from the beginning of 2019, encouraged & exhorted to continue to testify to the Gospel of God's Grace.
In this sermon we look at how our work should not be driven by consumerism or fear but by the grace of God for His glory.
In this introductory sermon, we are encouraged not to pander to a “I have therefore I am” attitude... where we thrust ourselves into an existence that seeks to comfort our souls through consumption.
Instead we should fear God, by giving Him the place He deserves in our lives, knowing everything we could ever have or need is found in Him alone.
In the final sermon in this series, we are reminded that one day God will restore us to Himself and restore to us everything He always intended us to have. And in the presence of our enemies we will be vindicated. One day the veil will be removed for all the world to see from all of time and we will rule triumphantly with the One and only true and living God.
In this sermon we see how on the imminent day of the Lord, He will rescue His people and judge the nations.

In the first week of our new series Visible, we explore how there is often a disconnect between what we believe and how we live because we do not obey the Word of God.

In the second part of our two part mini series entitled ASK! Bold and Expectant for 2019, we see how the gospel has always required boldness to advance. In the face of opposition against Gospel advance, believers should turn to God in prayer, expectant that God would empower us by the Holy Spirit with boldness, to remain unshaken in sharing the Gospel!
In Part 1 of our 2 Part series entitled "ASK!" we are encouraged to be shamelessly bold in asking God for the Holy Spirit because God has a loving predisposition to give us His Holy Spirit!
