Few things in life hurt as much as when someone says one thing to you and does another. It is that kind of disappointment that cuts so deep. That is why it is so important that our actions are the true fruit of our words. The Bible teaches us that by our fruit we will be recognised. Not only do we need to be people of our word, but we need to be people of God’s Word and build our lives on the prec...

Before a builder starts building a house, he or she needs a clear idea of the end goal. So we also need to know what we want to build and make sure that it is in line with God’s will and that it is always covered by prayer. Then we will know what to prepare for, expect and focus on. Citing the example of Nehemiah and his resolve to rebuild his city, Pastor Anthony Liebenberg reminds us how importa...

Have you ever felt insignificant or wondered whether God has a plan for your life? God assures us that He does. Not only does He care about you personally but He has designed a specific part for you to play in His kingdom, so that you can make and be the difference in your family and your community. Looking at the example of Nehemiah, Pastor Megan McCleland in this message encourages us to faithfu...

WHAT IS DETERMINING WHAT YOU VALUE? Many of us learn our values from our parents, our peers, our family cultures and our beliefs. Similarly, our emotions, experiences and accomplishments in this life play an important role in determining what we hold dear. In this message, Pastor Bruce McCleland encourages us to let the things of heaven determine our values, and to let the ways of heaven determine...

WHAT IS YOUR VISION? As we accelerate into the new year, we need to be cognisant of the path we’re putting our energy into. Whose vision are we building? Are we following God’s vision? In this message Pastor Bruce McCleland challenges us to check our vision with God’s vision. He explains what God’s vision will require from us, and reminds us that a vision alone is a vision postponed.

Today message by Ps Anthony Liebenberg is a day of celebration, a day of acknowledging all that the Lord has done and to look ahead.   Jesus said many powerful things, but in this message, Ps Anthony Liebenberg focuses on two sentences that have powerful consequences.   Firstly, in… John 6:57 NIV Jesus said… “Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds...

Life does not seem to wait for anyone. We are constantly pressured to declare our next steps and future plans. Other times we just love our own plans and ideas and are convinced they are correct. However, God tests our hearts. We can make all the plans we want; ultimately, He is the one who will direct our steps. That is why it is so important that we submit to Him. In this message Pastor Bruce Mc...

Jesus washed His disciples’ feet even though He was their teacher. What a selfless act of love and service! How many of us would go out of our way to serve others in this way? To deny ourselves and give freely, especially in today’s culture of “I'll only do for you what you’ll do for me”. In this message, Pastor Megan McCleland delves into the spiritual discipline of service which involves the wil...

Most of us admire great men and women. Often we aspire to be them. However, their success did not happen overnight. They studied for it, learnt hard, sacrificed, and persevered. Their growth came it a cost. It required discipline. If we want to grow and become mature in Christ, we need to seek the wisdom of his Spirit and study His Word, diligently. The Bible says every Scripture has been inspired...

Jesus lived the model life on earth. Yet, even Jesus needed to get away from it all, go up the mountain and speak to His Father, all night long. He went out into the wilderness and fasted before He started His own ministry. Prayer and fasting drown out the noise. While it makes us physically weak, our spirit becomes more sensitive to the Holy Spirit. Less becomes more. Empty becomes full. Weak bec...

Do you meditate? “No. I just don’t have the time,” you might say. But actually, we do meditate. We just don’t meditate on God. We meditate on what worries us, on how we compare to others on social media, and on where to next in our fast-paced lives. Pastor Bruce McCleland takes us back to the importance of Christian meditation in this message. It centres us back toward the glory and grace of God....

Maturity begins on the inside and manifests itself outward, but the change has to start inside first and that first starts with prayer. In essence it boils down to, when we pray, not to want things from God, but rather to want more of God. But how do we get there? In this message Pastor Bruce McCleland gives us four steps, starting with recognising that our priorities are out of whack. Prayer real...

Have you ever wondered why you sometimes don’t seem to grow as a Christian or produce fruit? If you are spiritually immature, you are allowing the devil to have power over you and dominate your life. Thankfully God meets us where we are and leads us to where we need to be, to a place where we can be spiritually mature and our maturity can make the impact He intended. In this message Pastor Anthony...

Where does maturity begin? In this 3rd part of our series Milk, Honey or Meat, Ps Burce McCleland walks us where our road to maturity begins.

Why are we encouraged to be more mature? Ps Anthony Liebenberg, through scriptures, explains the benefits of being more mature.

Why does life have to be so hard? Do we have to adult today? Can’t we just go back to being kids when we didn’t have all these responsibilities? These are questions we ask ourselves. Watch Ps Bruce McCleland as he navigates what it means to be more mature in Christ.
