Weekly messages from Common Ground Church Green Point.
We are one church, many congregations.
Whatever your thoughts about God and church, you’re welcome here! We are passionate about God and our city which is why we meet all across Cape Town. We exist to spread the good news of Jesus wider into our city and deeper into our culture.
Hi there, from now on please remember to listen to the sermon podcast on the Seapoint link or website.
Today we wrap up our entire conversation by looking Critical Theory as a coherent worldview, what will make it hard to consistently hold to it whilst also holding to the Christian worldview and then offer some final thoughts from the Sermon on the Mount (and elsewhere) on how to engage with justice conversations and content.
It’s been building to this… the Critical Theory answer to humanity’s problem! Today Richard and Kyle unpack the fourth and final tenet of Critical Theory, but rather than trying to state everything they are against or disagree with, they attempt to paint a full glorious picture of the Bible’s understanding of justice in contrast to the post-modern secular version that is found in Critical Theory.
We should always accept people’s lived experience… says Critical Theory. Today Rich and Kyle continue the conversation around the idea that those who are oppressed have special access to truth that should be taken as authoritative. They finish off exploring how this idea severely impacts our relationships and unity in the church as well as how it goes against both secular and Christian wisdom when it comes to counselling through methods such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
“We should always accept people’s lived experience”… says Critical Theory. Today Rich and Kyle start a conversation around the idea that those who are oppressed have special access to truth that should be taken as authoritative. They unpack the impact this has on relationships, scripture and society as well as exploring fancy terms like “Standpoint Epistemology”.
Hegemony: the control of the ideology of society. Welcome to the second tenet of Critical Theory which is the idea that the dominant group maintains power by imposing their ideology on everyone. Today Rich and Kyle seek to understand the concept, affirm what we can affirm, and then point out the flaws, the confusion with terminology and the incompatibilities with following Jesus.
The whole of humanity is divided along the lines of oppressed and oppressor. This is the first tenet of Critical Theory known as The Social Binary. Today Rich and Kyle continue their conversation and attempt to point out some of the flaws and incompatibilities with Christianity and offer some pastoral insight.
A talk that we didn't mention for time's sake:
Michael Ramsden (RZIM) - Is there a cure for today's victim culture?

The whole of humanity is divided along the lines of oppressed and oppressor. This is the first tenet of Critical Theory known as The Social Binary. Today Rich and Kyle unpack this concept as well as the idea of intersectionality and draw out what we want to affirm as Christ-followers!

They’re all linked with the concept of Critical Theory.
Strange Days is back for a new season, with longer episode run times and a conversational dynamic. Join Kyle Peters and Rich Lundie as they start discussing Critical Theory.
20 Bless the Lord, O you his angels,
you mighty ones who do his word,
obeying the voice of his word!
21 Bless the Lord, all his hosts,
his ministers, who do his will!
22 Bless the Lord, all his works,
in all places of his dominion.
Bless the Lord, O my soul!
15 As for man, his days are like grass;
he flourishes like a flower of the field;
16 for the wind passes over it, and it is gone,
and its place knows it no more.
17 But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him,
and his righteousness to children's children,
18 to those who keep his covenant
and remember to do his commandments.
19 The Lord has established his throne in the heavens,
and his kingdom rules over all.
6 The Lord works righteousness
and justice for all who are oppressed.
7 He made known his ways to Moses,
his acts to the people of Israel.
8 The Lord is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
9 He will not always chide,
nor will he keep his anger forever.
10 He does not deal with us according to our sins,
nor repay us according to our iniquities.
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;
12 as far as the east is from the west,
so far does he remove our transgressions from us.
13 As a father shows compassion to his children,
so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him.
14 For he knows our frame;
he remembers that we are dust.
We are practicing the Spiritual Practice of reading Psalm 103 together devotionally this week. Let us begin with:
1 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name! 2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, 3 who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, 4 who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, 5 who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
We are practicing the Spiritual Practice of reading Psalm 23 together devotionally this week. We continue with “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” And end with Psalm 91.
We are practicing the Spiritual Practice of reading Psalm 23 together devotionally this week. We continue with “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.”
We are practicing the Spiritual Practice of reading Psalm 23 together devotionally this week. We look at Psalm 1 to gain a greater understanding of “paths of righteousness”.
We are practicing the Spiritual Practice of reading Psalm 23 together devotionally this week. We continue with “He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”
We are practicing the Spiritual Practice of reading Psalm 23 together devotionally this week. Let us begin with “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.”
We are not God! You’ll hear that a lot in this episode. Limits of time, space, resources, skills are not setbacks but gifts to help us discern what God wants from us and for us in particular seasons of life!
Prudence? What is that? What does the Bible say about it? Why should we pray for it and try to adopt it as part of our lifestyles? These are the things we chat about today.
Today we explore the need to take time out in silence, solitude and prayer to prepare our hearts to make the decisions God wants and not just what we want.
Increase in attendance, accumulating more wealth and possessions, expanding your business…. How do you define success as a Christ-follower? Today we explore how we need to redefine success according to the will of God.
Decisions… we make them every day. Every yes is a thousand no’s. If life is made up of millions of decisions that direct the course of our lives and we’re going to answer to God for our lives one day, it’s worth taking some time to consider how to do it well, and how to do it poorly.
Today we get super practical and look at getting simple with the papers that often live all over our homes! Praise God for digital.
Today we get super practical and look at getting simple with the things / stuff / general clutter in our lives! Warning: it can get emotional!
Today we get super practical and look at getting simple with the clothes we own and wear.
As Christian’s we’d easily say that Jesus is right about everything. That’s kind of a core part of our faith. But do we always believe it? Probably not and that hurts us, and so we need to reaffirm, internalize and believe Jesus’ rightness on every topic including this one of simplicity!
The things we buy have hidden costs. We don’t always read the Ts and Cs, and we end up paying a bigger price than we initially intended. Today we explore the various costs that we pay in both the seen and the unseen realm when it comes to the accumulation of wealth and possessions.
How did we get here? How did we arrive in a world where we are convinced we need more? And is this a natural or supernatural question?
Do your clothes, or your wealth or possessions speak of who you are? Might there be a search for meaning in the pursuit of stuff? Today we examine these thoughts.
Will the accumulation of wealth and material possessions bring happiness or not? There seems to be conflicting views out there and so today we start to explore the words of Jesus as we embark on a new journey together!
We need feedback. We’re not islands and we all have blind spots. Thank goodness for the gift of community that we’ve been given by God!
Mbonisi Malaba, from One Tribe Church in Nairobi, Kenya and a partner in the Advance Movement preached on The Fiery Trials.
What are the stories we tell ourselves that are negative, untrue, based in our life experiences and yet cause us to interpret the world around us? Today we talk about identifying these negative scripts so that we can speak truth to ourselves.
We might have Jesus in our heart but we’ve got grandpa in our bones. Today we look into the tool of understanding how our family history contributes to your present reality and what will we pass on to the next generation and those around us.
Lacking vocabulary to answer the question “how are you doing”? Running dry with glad, mad and sad? Today we learn to create space and articulate the answer to that question!
What might happen if you just sweep your shortcomings and dark side under the rug? What might happen if you face your shadow? This is a question worth asking ourselves!
How do you approach your shadow? It’s ok to realize we’re not ok, but it’s not ok to stay there. We want to learn about who were truly are and then we want to move forward into Christlikeness!
Untamed emotions. Damaged pasts. Less then pure motives and thoughts. We all have these in some shape or form and today we start to unpack them.
Ever wondered why it sometimes seems easier to lead others than it does to lead yourself? Today we start to explore that part of the reason it’s hard is because it means facing yourself.. facing your inner life and facing your dark side!
As we end this season today, we get extremely practical about incorporating spiritual practices in a daily, weekly, monthly rhythm that will change our lives for the glory of God!
In order to have lives that bare fruit we need to get everything ready so that we can build the trellis that allows the vineyard of our lives everything it needs to flourish. Today we put some practical foundations in to craft our own rule of life!
Ever desperately wanted to become a certain type of person and yet it doesn’t happen? Perhaps your lifestyle is just not set up to make you into the kind of want to be. That’s where a rule of life comes in…
To finish off this important season we are looking at a whole bunch of other ideas that will help us slow our pace, our life and our being in order to be present to God, others and ourselves.
After laying the foundations regarding our need to slow down and the consequences of not doing so, we begin to look at some practicalities that will help us achieve a slow pace of being!
We’ve spoken a lot of about hurry being incompatible with the way of Jesus and so it seems fitting to now zero in on the life of Jesus himself and watch the master at work!
Too busy for God… essentially this is how we live a lot of the time even though we’d never say it. Today we investigate the greatest cost of hurry sickness!
Are you hyper-sensitive, easily irritated or do you find yourself binging Netflix far too often? You might have Hurry Sickness like the rest of us.
How loving are you to those around you when you are in a rush? Do you sense an amazing sense of joy and peace when you are late? Today we continue to explore the incompatibility of hurry with the way of Jesus.
Have you ever thought of hurry being one of, if not the greatest enemy of spiritual life in our day? Today we start to explore the incompatibility of hurry with the way of Jesus.
Today Paul Maughan shares a little bit of his journey around emotional health and what our journey will look like over the coming weeks.
Is success always bigger and better? What we do bigger than who we are? Today we explore and unpack a bunch of unspoken assumptions we often live by.
How’s your self-awareness? Today we start to look at the topic of emotional health which will be unpacked practically over the next few seasons of the podcast.
Today Megan from our Sea Point congregation shares some of her stories of community being a life line during Covid-19.
Today Debbie from our Green Point congregation shares some of her stories and encouragements of being a part of a life group!
Today Lee-Ann Maughan shares some examples of what Christian community looks like in her life and why it’s been such a good thing!
Commitment… what a struggle in our culture! Between our selfish natures, a commitment phobic culture and now the challenges of the Corona Virus, community is seriously hard and we need to comes to grips with it and figure out how to overcome the challenges and live in the freedom of commitment!
In this time of Covid-19, we’ve realized that being alone and isolated seems to rub against our humanity. God knows the value of community which is why he emphasizes Christian community so much in his word! Join us as we refresh ourselves on the wonder of community in this time of distancing!
God wants to reach many and have millions turn to him in repentance and faith. He’s looking for people to be involved in order for that to happen and if you already love Jesus, he’s looking at you!
Mountaintop Experiences… some love them, some are wary of them. What should we make of them and of getting away with people for the clear purpose of praying?
We’ve all got people who have hurt us, mistreated us, possibly even abused us. Jesus calls us to do the most radical, counter cultural, unnatural thing ever… love them and pray for them!
We are all making decisions, and in this season many of us are needing to make bigger decisions than we thought we would need to make this year! Let’s learn from Jesus about seeking God when these big decisions are looming and start the conversation about receiving guidance from God!
Like any battle, the coming of Jesus’ Kingdom seems to advance in waves. There are times of pushing forward and then there are strategic times of retreat and consolidation. We see today that Jesus’ desperately needed time alone with His Father to strengthen himself, and therefore so do you and I.
Power and affirmation are two things that many people in general often desire, and they are two things that all Christians need in order to live the life we’ve been called to live! Today we explore the connection between prayer, the Holy Spirit and these two things.
Today we are going to learn from and be inspired by the prayer life of Anna the prophetess!
Why do some churches burn incense? Today we explore the biblical imagery of smoke and incense and why we should hold onto that image and let God inspire us to pray because of it!

For the next season we are going to unpack all of Luke’s mentions of prayer in his writings! Today we lay some foundations and get to know Luke himself, the biggest contributor to the New Testament!
With all the foundations in place, it’s time to plan and prepare to actually fast! Today we get practical!
Today we continue to figure out the motives for fasting as we look at the fact that it is a way to love and serve the suffering!
Why do we fast? Today we start to answer this question and look at the fact that fasting is an invitation for the Spirit of God to work in us and it’s a prayer to God!
Is fasting a way of getting God to owe you, or getting healthy? Is it a way of proving yourself to be spiritual, or getting the attention of others? Today we attempt to dismantle these and other misconceptions around this important spiritual habit.
If you missed Sunday message, or you want a refresher of what was said, take a listen to this podcast episode.
Fasting is an ancient spiritual practice that we don’t really give ourselves to much anymore and a practice we don’t really know too much about. Today we start to change both those things.
Our Father has promised to give the Holy Spirit to those who ask? What is this? What does it mean? Today we attempt to answer this massive question from these last lines of Jesus’ teaching on prayer in Luke 11.
Ever seen a dad throw a cobra at his little kid? Sounds like something out of a Tim Burton film, but it’s part of the story Jesus uses to emphasize just how good our heavenly Father is and why we can always trust his answers to prayer!
Have you ever felt like you didn’t want to bother God? Jesus certainly wants us to never feel like that again because shockingly he literally calls us to be shameless as we come to God with requests!
Ever wondered if you’re wasting your time with prayer? Today, we allow Charles Spurgeon to remind us about the authority of Jesus and the promises he makes in his teachings on prayer that give us confidence to go and pray!
If you missed Sunday message, or you want a refresher of what was said, take a listen to this podcast episode.
Does God tempt us? Could God lead you into temptation? Can God allow you to never be tempted? These are all good questions that many of us have thought about and today we explore them as we continue to learn from Jesus how to pray.
We are called to pray for the forgiveness of our sins as often as we pray, and we are called to be people who forgive others constantly too! These are massive tasks that we all need to process, prepare for and ask God’s help in!
In light of praying for the glory of God and the coming of His Kingdom, Jesus calls us to pray for our needs. More often than not, many of us have actually forgotten we need to pray for provision because we’ve become so accustomed to having it. Let’s explore the nuances of this verse.
What is the Kingdom of God? When will it come? How will it come? What can you do about? That’s what we’re chatting about today!
Are we meant to be praying about Halloween or something? Today we chat through the first thing the Lord Jesus tells us to pray about… the name of God!
If you missed Sunday message, or you want a refresher of what was said, take a listen to this podcast episode.
When you’re sending mail it’s important to get the recipient right otherwise who knows where your message might end up! Today we explore the first word of Jesus’ model prayer: Father!
As we embark on our journey into prayer, we start by recognizing the uniqueness and authority of our teacher!
It’s a new season here on Strange Days as we explore the massive topic and arguably the most important spiritual practice of prayer!
Join us today as we wrap up this series on singing. We'll be exploring how we sing and the impact of singing in our lives. What a gift God has given us in singing together.
Today we continue looking at why we sing - and hear that we are both commanded and compelled to sing! Why not spend some time meditating on Psalm 96 if you're feeling stirred by the questions at the end of today's podcast?
Welcome to our new season where we'll be looking at where singing comes from and starting the conversation around why we sing. Here are some helpful resources for anyone who would like to delve a bit deeper into the topic: Sing by Keith and Kristyn Getty, and Worship Matters by Bob Kauflin (this one is especially helpful for worship leaders/musicians and church leaders).

As we close out our series on Sabbath, Paul shares some of the highs and lows of the Maughan family’s attempts at a 24 hour period of rest, delight and worship.
One of the things that will stop our Sabbaths from being as delightful, restful, pleasurable and worshipful as they should be is bad planning. Let’s figure out how we overcome that.
There are many wrong ideas, confusing thoughts, as well as internal and external obstacles that get in the way of us truly enjoying the gift of Sabbath! Today we try to make the way a little clearer.
Is Sabbath yet another thing we need to do? Today we get our hearts into alignment around the invitation God has given us.
Today we are starting a new season looking at the spiritual practice of Sabbath, a weekly rhythm we desperately need, but one we often ignore.
Our final episode of season one explores the idea that time alone with God should produce a fire in our hearts for the sake of the world.
We’re all making decisions and we all seek guidance from somewhere. Today we explore how God may guide us during our times of Silence and Solitude.
Join us today as we explore the fact that when we come before God we will also come face to face with ourselves. It might not be pretty, but as we do this, God brings transformation through his grace.
There are some problems far too big for us to solve, and some issues far too complex for us to control. At times we need to rest our over active minds in God and humbly accept our limits in his presence.
We are not souls waiting to escape our bodies. We are embodied beings and our spiritual wellbeing is linked to our physical life.
There are times when we get dangerously tired and even hanging with God seems like too much. We're in good company.
There'll be times when you don't want to or can't seem to be silent and alone with God. Don't be surprised.
Today we look at the opportunity we've been given during this time to seek the presence of God.
