Siya Madonsela: Live like Him/die like Him Everyone has a plan for your life. Marketers, your in-laws, Google and Facebook, your friends, maybe even you. Wouldn’t it be great to know exactly what God’s will for your life is, especially considering He says it is good, pleasing and perfect for you? We start the series by looking at the life of Jesus to see what it would look like to live in God’s wi...

Ross Rodger: Love like Him. Have you ever experienced the power of genuine love to totally change a situation? Fear, doubt, cynicism, anger can be totally diffused by receiving it and even mundane activities can be made glorious by giving it. Love for God, love for self and love for others is the great diagnostic of whether or not you are aligned with God’s will.

Siya Mandosela: Live like Him/Die like Him. We start the series by looking at the life of Jesus to see what it would look like to live in God’s will. We’ll see that it is much more to do with who you become than what you do and that, just like everything in nature, Jesus shows how the beginning of every great life is a great death.

Gary Blair: The Prodigal Rebel The parable of the prodigal sons is about two sons that, though they are sons, live like orphans. Both of them mistrust their father. The first has the heart of a rebel, and takes his inheritance and squanders it, believing that his father is a kill-joy and that life will be better without him. The result is brokenness and desolation, for rather than finding joy, he...

Ross Rodger: The Inheritance of Sons Every believer is called to live as a son of God; and every son has an inheritance. This inheritance is not only stored up for us, but available to us every day. The promises of God are for his sons. Unfortunately, many sons never walk in their full inheritance because they either live as a rebel, or a Pharisee. Neither of them believe the Father can bless them...

Ross Rodger: We all need a Father Luke chapter 3 describes Adam as the son of God. When Adam and Eve sinned, they bought into the lie that God was not a good Father, that He was withholding His best from them. This resulted in spiritual death - they were cut off from the Father, and their state was reduced to that of a spiritual orphan. Ever since then, the Father has been fighting to bring us bac...

Gary Blair: The Prodigal Pharisee The first son was a rebel and wasted his inheritance to prodigal living. The second son was a pharisee, and wasted his inheritance to prodigal living. He wasted his inheritance because he never experienced it, for he was so busy trying to earn it that he couldn’t receive it. He is angered by the father’s generosity towards his rebel brother in restoring him as a s...

Brett Holding: Friend or Fling Do your friends actually like you, or just how you make them feel? Are the people we give our time and energy to really that important, or are we actually most interested in what we can get out of them? When we’re brutally honest, we’re pretty bad at friendships because we’re pretty consumeristic about them. God has a different way of doing relationships that avoids...

Gary Blair Who are we? Where are we going? Why are we going there? What will it look like when we get there?  Over the next four Sundays we will take a careful, practical, theological, and inspirational look at who God is calling our church to be and why that is great news for our City.

Ross Rodger Simon Sinek said “People don't buy what you do; they buy why you do it.” Over the next four weeks, we are going to be talking about why we do church. Each week, we will be looking at one aspect of our Enjoy God, Love People, Release Potential and Impact community vision statement. Our prayer is that as we remind ourselves about the why, we will see people in our community getting...
