Luke 23:43, John 19:26, Mark 15:34, John 19:28, John 19:30, Luke 23:46

Today in 1 Corinthians 15v54-57, we learn that Death has been overcome, our Lord Jesus Christ has won a Victory greater than that of the Second World War. But why does a crucifixion and empty tomb from over 2,000 years ago affect my life today, and why should I even care? What benefit or joy does it bring to my life? Netflix brings me joy and intrigue, YouTube a smashing beat, Amazon fantastic rea...

Luke 23:44-49

Mark 7:14 -23. What is wrong with the world or with South Africa? Top of the list is poverty, gender based violence, Load shedding, health and infrastructure. But what do you think is wrong with South Africa, your home country or the world? If we may ask Jesus the same question, what do you think would be his response to this question? According to Jesus from Mark 7:14, the human heart is what is...

Almost all of us think there is something we can do to be right with God. Many think if they are religious enough they will surely go to Heaven.

In this sermon Martin Morrison preaches how God rescues humanity, not through their good...

Under Construction Part 12 - Blaque Nubon -(Sunday 26 March 2023).mp3 by Christ Church Midrand

Luke 22: 39-46

Mark 6:45-52. Being a disciple is simply following God. As we follow him though, he takes the terrible construction site which is our lives and slowly he fixes the mess. In this passage, the disciples see the amazing work of Jesus, but they don’t truly see him for who he is. In the face of an incredible miracle where Jesus walks on water, and the fact that he calls himself ‘I am’, the disciples st...

In Acts we find that the new community that has been formed by God to be his early church was so radical. They shared their positions with the less privileged. Just like the community in Acts the Church today is a true manifestation of God's wisdom to the universe. In chapter 5 we find a direct attack to God's wisdom through the hypocrisy of Ananias and Sapphira. Even in today's church community S...

2 Peter 3: 2- 18

2 Peter 1:1-11

Mark in his gospel reminds all followers of Jesus to relentlessly give of themselves. He does this by awaken the truth in us that a disciple should be in a posture of readiness to give. What motivates a disciple to give of themselves is the fact that Jesus has given them himself. So Mark wants disciples to acknowledge that before they give to the world, they need to receive from Jesus the ultimate...

What does the bible say about wisdom and unity. What does the bible teaches about unity and differences? In this same Roydon Frost preaches on how we can achieve unity through understanding the meaning of wisdom, unity and...

The image of a discipleship is joyful and restful. It’s a blessing. It’s something that is messy and not perfect. To find out more about what discipleship is, have a listen to this sermon.

The Acts of God Part XII - For Unity I - Roydon Frost - (Sunday 05 March 2023) by Christ Church Midrand

Ephesians 2:1-10. Before a relationship with God, Paul in Ephesians 2:1-10 describe christians as children of wrath, sons of disobedience and dead in trespasses. These labels define every christian's condition before there were made alive in Christ. These labels further define who they are, to whom do they belong to and what is their purpose. How does God see christians? What does spiritual death...

Today, learning from the Book of Acts, Acts 4v23-31 to be precise, we find the followers of Jesus praying in the face of persecution. Jesus promises all his followers that they will face persecution, but this is the first they, the apostles of Christ Jesus, have faced it directly. Facing persecution because you are carrying your cross, is a blessing. Christians are called to move towards need, not...
