Common Ground Church Sea Point

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!

Join us as we hear the Gospel preached during these unprecedented times.

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…

Join us as we hear the Gospel preached during these unprecedented times.

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!

Join us as we hear the Gospel preached during these unprecedented times.

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.
