Christ Church Midrand

The truth of this life is simple, it hurts, it’s difficult for us all at times, but… Although we can often feel like defeated people in a defeated world, we live under the banner of victory… We know that the scoreboard is in our favour, even in the midst of pain and suffering… Exodus 15: 1-19: As Christians, we have an insight into how the story ends, campaigning our present bitter war under the b...

In this sermon, David helps us to wrestle with these questions as we get into the ancient world of JOB. This is a series for our times. It is FA...

John 20:19-31: “Missing Deceased Person found Alive after Three Days! Family are believed to be happy to once again see their brother, as they saw him murdered on a cross”.

If we’re honest, we want more then that middle-class description. We feel we’ll only be content if we have a little more than what we have. We don’t just wan...

Mark 5: 21-43: What makes you really sad or feel under pressure? The Bible mention that there will always be something that pushes us to a certain direction or pulls us to the other. Mark's gospel helps us to understand Jesus’s identity so that he (Jesus) can pull us to the right direction rather than being pushed by the world to the wrong direction. In this sermon Eddie Lombard demonstrates using...

What does Acts 2v37-41 teach us? It teaches us about the 4 key ingredients of the Gospels. They are Gospel Events (Historical events about the life, miracles and ministry of Jesus Christ), Gospel Witnesses (How Old testament Scriptures and Prophecies are the witnesses), Gospel Promises (It is the good news that God offers, that He will cleanse us and put his Holy Spirit into you) and finally, Gosp...

Everyone has expectations when they get in a relationship. When Jesus came saying he is setting a Kingdom of God, obviously there are expectations. To ancient Jews the expectation was a Kingdom with political influence coming to overthrow the Roman oppressive rule over Jews. In our contemporary society the idea of the Kingdom as a mustard seed invokes less patience as we expect what we selfishly d...

(Acts 2: 14-36)There’s an African proverb that describes humanity: The Kudu horns are large and twisted, just like the human heart. We have hearts who prefer to live for ourselves, then God and we know this because we see it in ourselves and in others. But although we are crooked, we have a mighty God. We have a God that does not fight evil with evil, but can fight evil with good. For an opportuni...

What Was the real reason for Jesus Christs Ministry on Earth? Was it a ministry of healing, or wealth development, to cleanse us from our evil ways, or something that we missed altogether?

In this sermon, David Kobedi looks at the Parable of the Sower to show how true Christian change takes place and what it looks like.

What is God’s plan for my life? How does God guide me in my own lives? Why do we ask these questions about God’s discerning will for our life, in this chaotic and sometimes mystical world that we live in? In Acts 1 we learn about how God give guidance to the Early Church, and how can we learn from it. How does God do this, through 5 stages: God Plans, God Speaks, God Listens, God Gives us Each Oth...

We have this great salvation that’s unexplainable. Knowing this wonderful truth, How do we continue to walk in strife? The brokenness of life can make us lose hope. The answer lies with Romans 8.

Acts 1: 6 - 11. Church, what’s its purpose and what’s it truly for? What is the ultimate core business of the Church? Is it purely there as a service provider: Baptisms, marriages, funerals, sermons, blessings, feel good, etc… Then, once we have received these things, can we not just get on with our lives in a manner we choose then? Or do we need Church for so much more than simply being there whe...
