Hatfield Christian Church

Do you have an overwhelming sense that our world and nation need prayer? Explore with Pastor Louis how to pray for the nations as God’s people, seeking just leadership and taking a stand against the darkness.

Jesus is our hope of glory. He brought the glory of the divine presence and light into our dark world. And with Paul, we can cry, ‘Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?’* because JESUS IS RISEN! *1 Corinthians 15:55 NIVUK

Jesus was betrayed by Judas, denied by Peter, interrogated and intimidated by the Jewish religious leaders, and handed over to Pilate to be crucified. But Jesus’ death was not the end of the story.

Our relationships with God, ourselves and others have a huge impact on the direction of our lives. Discover with Pastor Louis how to abide more deeply and have fruitful, healthy, meaningful relationships with Christ, your fellow believers, the world, and the Spirit.

Jesus said that unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. So, what does it mean to be alive in Christ? Unpack this question with Pastor Louis and discover life and more fruitfulness in Jesus.

Jesus is the light that shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. Join Pastor Letsholo and delve deeper into what Jesus means in John’s gospel account when He says, “I am the Light of the world.”

Don’t we so often frame Jesus by our worldly or religious expectations, not believing in who He truly is? Consider with Pastor Louis what believing in Christ means and that Jesus said streams of living water would flow from those who believe.

Some of Jesus’ teachings were hard and challenging, causing a number of His followers to turn away from Him. But as Peter responded, “You have the words of eternal life.” Join Neil Bester in exploring what a life lived in Christ looks like.

In Jesus’ day, there were many systems of authority, such as the family and religious leaders, including the Pharisees, all subject to Roman rule and occupation. Jesus often confronted these systems of authority and their abuse of power. If you want a deeper understanding of Christ’s authority and our authority in Him as His followers, this message is for you.

What does it mean, and what does it look like to be a follower of Jesus? Join Pastor Louis in considering what John outlines as the life of a fruitful Jesus follower in his gospel account.

What do Jesus’ first miracle and the clearing of the temple courts in John’s gospel account have in common? Join Pastor Louis in exploring the significance of these events and how Jesus intends for His cleansing to lead to more fruitfulness in our lives.

As whole-life disciples abiding in Christ, we want to live fruitful lives. In this introductory message, Pastor Louis unpacks how the book of John invites you on a journey of abiding in the Vine and bearing more fruit in your everyday life.

As our week of prayer and fasting draws to a close, pause with Pastor Louis to consider the significance of communion and why we continue to take part in this sacrament as believers. And, join us in having communion in remembrance of Jesus, the True Vine.

Come, sit at the feet of the Gardener. Come, tap into the Vine. Ask Him to fill you – fill us – with faith for our frontlines this year as we abide together during our week of prayer and fasting. Come.

Do you wonder what our key Hatfield family values are? And what it means to be a community on a mission, making whole-life disciples? Pastor Louis, our senior pastor, unpacks this and much more for you.

A new year often means a new season. And Neil has an encouraging devotional word for you, from Zechariah, that God wants to deal differently with us than in the past. God desires to strengthen our hands for his Kingdom work.

It is a new year, offering you new opportunities. Pause with Pastor Louis to start the year right, surrendering yourself to the Lord and all that lies ahead.

Amidst all the tinsel and buying and exchanging of gifts, it is easy to be distracted from the true focus of Christmas. Reflect on the deeper meaning of this festive season, the Christ of Christmas, with Pastor Louis.

What are you grateful for today? Join Pastor Louis in counting your blessings and every good and perfect gift that comes from our Father of lights.

He’s got the whole world in His hands. Psalm 104? Will be putting a globe on the stage. That the Lord has everything under control. Order even if it looks like chaos. World Cup clip – never give up or like it isn’t happening. The Lord’s got us, don’t give up, He’s in control. Encouragement.

We are at war. But ours is not a struggle against flesh and blood (Ephesians 6). In this message, Pastor Louis looks closely at how you can pray for God’s kingdom to come amid this spiritual battle. Know your enemy, know your authority, and know how to fight.

Give us today our daily bread; man shall not live by bread alone. We were made for relationship (friendship); how does God speak and what does God sound like; different personalities and different ways of hearing God; how do we get better at hearing God; how can we know that we are hearing God; listening to God through the scriptures.

Jet engines, traffic, pounding bass sounds – our world is filled with noise to distraction. How comfortable are you in the quiet or when conversation lags? You’re invited to discover how spending time with the Lord in silence can deeply enrich your relationship with Him and others.

The experience of unanswered prayer is a hard one. But one that even Jesus shares with us as He prays in the Garden of Gethsemane before His arrest. Explore the challenges and realities of unanswered prayer with Pastor Louis and be encouraged not to give up on prayer.

Intercession is when we ask God in prayer, not for our needs but for others and situations. It’s the privilege of partnering with God, contending in the spirit for conditions to change. Do you feel stirred to serve on your frontline through intercession? In this message, Pastor Louis equips and guides us in praying for people and circumstances around us.
