John 21 “He said to him, ‘Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.’ He said to him, ‘Tend my sheep.’” John 21:7

It is said that the two most important days of your life are the day you were born, and the day that you realise why you were born. What is the reason you get out of bed? Are you living aimlessly? The truth is tyou have been created for a purpose. You have been created to thrive. Jesus wants you to find that purpose. We can know: Peace in our hearts Purpose for our lives Power for our mission. Tod...

In this service, we examine ‘the silence of Saturday’; the period between the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. Pastor Mike notes that whenever God appears to be silent in our lives, He is very much not. As Jesus says in verse 17, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’ He is our Father as well, and one day we will see Him in all His glory.

‘‘This happened that the scripture might be fulfilled’’ (v 24) The cross is the event of salvation: Past, Present, Ongoing, and Future

John 19 The judgement of Jesus

Psalm 2 A warning and a comfort

Mark 14:66-72 This sermon explores Peter’s denial of Jesus, and examines how Peter’s godly grief contrasts with Judas’ worldly grief.

Jesus is in the political and spiritual capital of Jerusalem. Only five days earlier Jesus was welcomed as a king, before being betrayed, denied by His friend, and arrested by the religious leaders. Because those religious leaders cannot impose the death penalty, they hand Him over to Pilate to achieve their goals. Delivered by the hypocrisy of the religious elders, they don’t just want Him dead,...

John 18:12-28 Jesus’s arrest is the fulfillment of scripture. Up until this point, God’s people saw the law given to them as a vessel through which to be saved. However, Jesus’s perfect life made it clear that this was not the case - the law has another purpose. Today’s sermon examines the arrest of Jesus, highlights the law’s true meaning, and asks the questions: What do we need to be saved from?...

John 18:1-14 After the upper room, Jesus withdraws to the Garden in Gethsemane to spend time in prayer. There Jesus will be arrested, orchestrated not by the power of man, but the will and authority of his father. By the knowing sacrifice of Jesus. He was arrested not in the light, but in darkness. Not in public, but in private. This is the intentional end of Jesus’s ministry on earth.

In this passage from John 17:20–26, Pastor Matt Maloney draws us into Jesus’ final prayer for His church—a prayer marked by deep love and eternal purpose. Jesus asks the Father for two central realities: that His people would be united as one, and that they would ultimately be with Him to see His glory. This sermon challenges us to see unity not as optional, but as essential to our witness, and to...

That we would be Kept - though Jesus is no longer in the world, where he kept and guarded us, that we would continue to be protected by God. That we would be One - as Jesus and God are one, being unified in Him. That we would be Joyful - not just to endure this world, but to be genuinely fulfilled. That we would be Set Apart - sanctified in the truth of God’s word, growing in holiness. That we wou...

In this sermon from Jeremiah 29, Pastor Mike Westhuyzen reminds us that God’s people have always lived in seasons where life doesn’t go according to plan. Writing to Israel in exile, God calls His people not to despair, withdraw, or assimilate—but to live faithfully in the midst of a foreign land. As “elect exiles” (1 Peter 1:1), Christians today are called to plant, pray, and seek the good of the...

In this sermon, we celebrate Easter Sunday by examining the encounters that Christians have had with God that bring them to faith. The sermon especially focuses on the conversion of Paul in Acts 9. We find that: 1. Meeting Jesus is personal. 2. Meeting Jesus transforms you. 3. Meeting Jesus is of grace.

His full glory.

Rejoice greatly and shout aloud. Behold, your king is coming to you! In the lead up to the crucification, we look at what is means that Jesus is King. On Palm Sunday, we look at the day that the arrival of Jesus was welcomed to God's city. Where he was met with joy, before later being crucified in that same city. He who was promised. Underneath God's rule we were designed to flourish and multiply...

In John 17: 1-5 , Jesus prays directly to God. He uses the word ‘glory’ or a variation of it 5 times, highlighting its importance. The passage also displays how Jesus prays to God as his ‘Father’, and outlines the gift of eternal life that awaits followers of Christ.

In John 16:25-33 , Jesus reminds his disciples of three things: They are deeply loved. They are weaker than they think. Jesus is stronger than the World, and He has overcome it .

In this message from John 16:16–24, Pastor Mike Westhuyzen helps us see how Jesus prepares His disciples—and us—for the reality of suffering while anchoring us in an unshakable promise of joy. Jesus’ words come just before His arrest and crucifixion. The disciples are confused and unaware of the trials that are about to unfold. In verses 16–20 we see the warning : sorrow is coming. In a world brok...

John 16:5-15 speaks about the coming of the Helper, the Holy Spirit. Specifically, that He will be the convicting Spirit, and the Spirit of truth. And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment - John 16:8 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth - John 16:13  He will glorify me - John 16:14  All that the Father has...

Jesus warns the disciples about the rejection and persecution that they will experience from the world. However, he also reassures them that: -He will always be near to his followers. -Justice is coming for the world.

In this week’s sermon from John 15:18–21 , we continue Jesus’ teaching on abiding in Him and bearing fruit that lasts. Last week we saw that Christ chose us to bear enduring fruit—lives marked by love for God, joyful worship, and love for neighbour. This fruit is not self-produced; it flows from remaining in Christ. As we abide in Him, we increasingly resemble Him. But Jesus now gives a sobering w...
