Hatfield Christian Church

Amidst all the tinsel and buying and exchanging of gifts, it is easy to be distracted from the true focus of Christmas. Reflect on the deeper meaning of this festive season, the Christ of Christmas, with Pastor Louis.

What are you grateful for today? Join Pastor Louis in counting your blessings and every good and perfect gift that comes from our Father of lights.

He’s got the whole world in His hands. Psalm 104? Will be putting a globe on the stage. That the Lord has everything under control. Order even if it looks like chaos. World Cup clip – never give up or like it isn’t happening. The Lord’s got us, don’t give up, He’s in control. Encouragement.

We are at war. But ours is not a struggle against flesh and blood (Ephesians 6). In this message, Pastor Louis looks closely at how you can pray for God’s kingdom to come amid this spiritual battle. Know your enemy, know your authority, and know how to fight.

Give us today our daily bread; man shall not live by bread alone. We were made for relationship (friendship); how does God speak and what does God sound like; different personalities and different ways of hearing God; how do we get better at hearing God; how can we know that we are hearing God; listening to God through the scriptures.

Jet engines, traffic, pounding bass sounds – our world is filled with noise to distraction. How comfortable are you in the quiet or when conversation lags? You’re invited to discover how spending time with the Lord in silence can deeply enrich your relationship with Him and others.

The experience of unanswered prayer is a hard one. But one that even Jesus shares with us as He prays in the Garden of Gethsemane before His arrest. Explore the challenges and realities of unanswered prayer with Pastor Louis and be encouraged not to give up on prayer.

Intercession is when we ask God in prayer, not for our needs but for others and situations. It’s the privilege of partnering with God, contending in the spirit for conditions to change. Do you feel stirred to serve on your frontline through intercession? In this message, Pastor Louis equips and guides us in praying for people and circumstances around us.

Prayer is not always highly spiritual; it’s practical. God cares about your daily needs. Petition is about being real with God and asking Him for things as your Father. Is there something you’re trusting God for? Ask and keep asking Him in prayer until change comes!

It is easy to get caught up and dragged down by the struggles of daily life. Adoration, though, helps you to lift your eyes to the Lord and gain perspective of God’s greatness and majesty. Explore with Pastor Louis how you can enjoy God’s presence in adoration. #whenyoupray #prayer #adoration #hatfieldchristianchurch

Do you find it hard to pray? Do you ever wonder, why pray? Join Pastor Louis for the kick-off to our series on prayer and how to respond to Jesus’ invitation to pray. Our aim is to show you how, in the words of Pete Greig, you can keep prayer simple, keep it real, and keep it up. #whenyoupray #prayer #whypray #hatfieldchristianchurch

We wrap up our Faith Promise season with a special guest, Pastor Chris Mathebula. Pastor Chris shares his personal testimony of God’s transforming power and speaks with authority when it comes to overcoming adversity. #faithpromise #givetoseechange #HatfieldChristianChurch

In this week's episode we talk about sex. Is sex only for marriage? Is purity only linked to sex? How far is too far? Tune in to find out what we think. If you would like to ask more questions DM us @reverbsa or @hatfieldyoungadults on Instagram.

Paul proclaims in the book of Romans that he is not ashamed of the gospel because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes (Romans 1:16). Join Natasja in unpacking this scripture and the transforming power of the gospel in your life, as well as across the street and across the globe. #faithpromise #givetoseechange #HatfieldChristianChurch

We kick off our 2022 Faith Promise season, exploring God’s power to transform lives across the street and across the globe. Join Andrew, an international worker, as he shares about answering Jesus’ call and some testimonies from the Middle East.

In this week's episode we discuss online dating. Is online dating a good or bad thing as a Christian? Is digital courage a thing and does it matter where you have your first date? Tune in to find out what we think. If you would like to ask more questions DM us @reverbsa or @hatfieldyoungadults on Instagram.

Marriage is a profound mystery. The earliest comment on marriage in Genesis is that a man leaves his father and mother to be united with his wife. And Paul in Ephesians compares marriage with Christ’s love for the Church. Explore the mystery of marriage with Pastor Louis in this message which concludes our “On the home front” series. #onthehomefront #marriage #hatfieldchristianchurch

In this week's episode we go deeper and finish off the conversation that we started last week. We talk about whether it is acceptable to date your friends ex and on a deeper note, whether there is a disparity in how males call each other out, when it comes violence towards women. If you would like to ask more questions DM us @reverbsa or @hatfieldyoungadults on Instagram.

Anecdotally, there is a sense today that though we are increasingly connected technologically, we are less and less connected to one another. Spend time with Pastor Louis in valuing and deepening how you honour others, your friendships, and your connections. #onthehomefront #relationships #friendship #HatfieldChristianChurch
