Family dynamics can be wonderful, messy, and deeply challenging all at once. So, how do we build a home that doesn't just survive the culture, but is actively shaped by the gospel? Whether you are a parent, a spouse, or looking to encourage the next generation, this message is a refreshing reminder that a healthy family starts with a deep rest in Jesus.
Remember the Poor | Laura Macfarlane 30.06.2026 38:29
Scripture makes it clear: helping the poor isn't just a good deed—it honours our Maker and is a matter of true justice. But in a city like Cape Town, what does it actually look like to live this out? In this message, Laura helps us unpack the biblical mandate to actively remember those in need. We are challenged to move beyond giving our "leftovers" and instead step into meaningful...

The Great Commission | Stefan Potgieter 17.06.2026 49:36

Drawing insight from A...
A Diverse Community | Eric Mtimkulu 08.06.2026 32:32

Informed by the Word | Stefan Potgieter 01.06.2026 43:25
With so many conflicting voices on social media and in culture, how do we know what is actually true? In this message of our Gospel in Life series, we look at why a high view of Scripture is absolutely necessary for the everyday believer. Looking at the example of the Bereans in Acts 17, we explore what it looks like to eagerly receive the Gospel, examine the Scriptures daily, and allow God’s Wo...
Treasure in Clay Jars | Hilary Mushambi 11.05.2026 33:35
In a world that demands perfection and polished exteriors, the Apostle Paul offers a radical, refreshing perspective: our weakness isn't a liability—it’s the very thing that allows God’s glory to shine through. In this message, we journey through 2 Corinthians 3:1–4:18 to explore what it means to carry the "treasure" of the Gospel in "jars of clay." From Paul’s bold defence...
Robbing God | Eric Mtimkulu 28.04.2026 36:02

The messenger of the Lord | Tawanda Chiwewete 21.04.2026 49:18
In this week's message, Tawanda explored the tension we often feel when we look at the world and ask, "Where is the God of justice?" .

However, Tawanda challenged us to examine the heart behind our questions—distinguishing between lament , where we bring our pain to God, and ...
The Worship of God (Part 2) | Eric Mtimkulu 12.04.2026 41:03
Does your worship matter to God? In this second discourse from the book of Malachi , we explore a sobering reality: what we do in worship—and the heart behind it—is of immense importance to the God. Centuries after returning from exile, the Israelites found themselves bitter and impatient, questioning God’s love because His promises didn’t seem to fit their schedule. This spiritual "coldnes...
The Evidence for the Resurrection of Christ | Eric Mtimkulu 07.04.2026 39:33
Is the Resurrection of Jesus a historical fact or a fairy tale? Skeptics like Richard Dawkins compare it to Jack and the Beanstalk , but the Apostle Paul argues it is the single most important truth in human history. Without it, we have no Gospel, no salvation, and no hope. In this episode, we walk through the "courtroom evidence" for the risen Christ: The Scriptural Proof: How Jesus fulfilled p...
The worship of God | Eric Mtimkulu 30.03.2026 41:05
Is our worship a fragrant offering or just "religious leftovers"? In this week's message of Malachi 1:6–14 , we look at a time when God’s people were going through the motions—attending the Temple and offering sacrifices—but their hearts were far from Him. God confronts the priests and the people with a piercing question: "If I am a father, where is my honor?" Scripture Reference: Malachi 1:6–1...
