Enjoy this message from Davis Crouch!

In this episode, Edwin Fillies brings a stirring message on what it really means to be one. Rooted in John 17, the High Priestly Prayer, Edwin unpacks how the oneness Jesus prays for is not just unity, but a complete, Spirit-wrought oneness modelled on the love between the Father and the Son. Through stories spanning Cape Town, Uganda, Australia, and beyond, he shows us what that love looks like w...

Afrika Mhlope unpacks Ephesians 2:10 and calls us back to something foundational - our identity. Before the labels, the pain, or the comparison, we were created with intention and value by God. This message challenges the way we see ourselves, exposing the battle of the mind and inviting us to believe what God says is true. You are not defined by your background or your experience, you are His wor...

So often we approach hearing God’s voice as a way to get answers: what to do next, how to lead, where to go. But what if that’s only part of it? In this episode, we explore what it looks like to hear God’s voice simply to receive His love—and to let that love change us from the inside out.

This week, Ailea Gibson leans into storytelling and walks us through  The Silver Chair  by C.S. Lewis, unpacking the quiet danger of spiritual dullness. We talk about how drifting from God rarely feels dramatic — it’s slow, subtle, and easy to miss. Through Lewis’ imagery, we’re reminded what it means to stay awake, hold onto truth, and resist the fog that makes us forget.

In this episode, Caleb Cox explores the life of Aaron and what it means to be called a holy priesthood through 1 Peter 2:4. From miracles and priestly garments to the failure of the golden calf, Aaron’s story holds both glory and weakness in tension. Yet after his greatest failure, he was still anointed by God as leader. This episode reminds us that God’s calling over your life is not cancelled by...

In this episode, we unpack Luke 10 and the parable of the Good Samaritan, showing that being a neighbour is something you become. In a world where your identity means safety and belonging, Jesus redefines 'neighbour' as the one who draws near to suffering.

To be human is to be on a quest. Whether we realise it or not, our lives are always moving toward what we love. Our desires shape our direction, and our worship quietly forms who we are becoming. In this episode, we explore the truth that we are primarily loving beings — not just thinking ones. What you love will shape you. Jesus invites us into true humanity through the Great Commandment: to love...

This week, Caleb Cox unpacks  1 John 4  through four key themes: God’s nature as love, the non-negotiable call to love one another, how Jesus makes the invisible God visible, and how the cross frees us from fear while deepening our reverence.

In this episode we unpack 1 John 3 and discuss how offence, disappointment, and self-protection can harden our hearts, but how receiving God’s love leads us into true freedom and wholeness.

What does it  really  mean to become a Christian? And what does it require of us? In 1 John 2:28–3:10, we see that saying yes to Jesus means entering a new family and leaving our old life behind. New identity demands real change, and we’re not meant to fight sin alone. There is a Father deeply committed to our freedom. Tune in as we talk about the beauty and cost of becoming children of God.

We never graduate from being transformed. This week,  Amy Ward  shares on what it truly means to behold God and be changed by Him, from glory to glory. Our number one calling is to love Him, to know Him, and to become like Him. As we grow in gifting and calling, the question remains: are we becoming more Christlike?  When our success is measured by transformation instead of achievement, obedience...

It’s easy to hate people but love the world — yet both blind us. In this message, Caleb Cox unpacks 1 John 2:1-17, showing how offence keeps us stuck and how love sets us free. John, once a “son of thunder,” became the apostle of love — and we can too. Learn to recognise your season, guard your affection, and live fully rooted in Jesus.

In this episode, we start a new series! Looking at the book of 1 John, we see that John wasn’t driven by intellect, but by encounter. We explore the themes of Life, Light, and Love, asking the real questions: Are we living in true fellowship? Do we walk in holiness? Does love define our lives?

As we wrap up our Ephesians series, Gielie Jordaan dives into chapter 6 to reveal the reality of spiritual warfare and the authority God has given every believer. Learn to put on the full armour of God - truth, righteousness, faith, salvation, the gospel, and the sword of the Word - so you can stand firm, resist the enemy, and walk in freedom. Spiritual attacks are real, but victory in Christ is c...

As we near the end of our Ephesians series, Rebecca Hedger takes us through chapter 5. Here, Paul builds on what he’s already shared, bringing fresh angles and clear examples. He reminds us that as children of light, we push back darkness by living with gratitude and by imitating God.

This week we unpack  Ephesians 4:17–32  where Paul calls us to take off the old self and put on the new. We look at how to reshape our habits, reclaim our imagination, and live in truth, purity, and unity through the Spirit and community. It’s an invitation to daily choose the new life Jesus has prepared for us.

This week we dive further into Ephesians 4, discovering how the different gifts God gave are designed to build up and serve the body of Christ.

This week, we dive deeper into Ephesians 4, exploring how God gave different gifts and the intentional way He designed each of us.

In this episode, we dive into Chapter 4 as we talk about what it means to walk in a manner that is worthy of the cross and all that God has done for us. Walking in this way requires not only that we love the Lord, but that we love those around us as we love ourselves.

Continuing our journey through Ephesians, Ailea Gibson shares from Paul’s prayer in Chapter 3 — that the Ephesians would come to know the love of Christ, a love greater than we can fully understand.

Join us as we share stories where simple obedience to God made all the difference. Be encouraged by how everyday yeses can lead to unexpected impact.

In this episode, we dive into Ephesians 3 and the mystery Paul carried — that through the Church, God’s eternal plan is being revealed not just to people, but to the powers of darkness. We unpack what it means to be a Spirit-filled people, how the Church is a living sign of the future breaking into the present, and how the lordship of Jesus redefines power, status, and identity.

In this episode, we stand in awe of the powerful reconciliation that Jesus brings — not only restoring our relationship with God, but also breaking down every wall of division between people. Join us as we dive further into Ephesians 2 and explore the beauty of unity, peace, and the new humanity Jesus makes possible.

In this episode, Gabriël Strydom unpacks Ephesians 2:1–10, reminding us that the same power that raised Christ from the dead now lives in us. We explore what Jesus overcame—every human authority, the weight of sin, and every demonic stronghold—not just for His own glory, but for the sake of the Church.
