Real Life Church

Date: 14/02/2021 There are people in this world who offend me. There are people in the world that I totally disagree with. There are people in the world that totally freak me out. But God so loved all the world, I He did not. It would give me mu excuse to go my way and not His. Is there a reason why the church is missing out on the Real, Radical and Redemptive promises of God.

Date :07/02/2021 John 3:16 is not just our favourite verse from Sunday school or a bumper sticker. May it become an anthem to us. “For God so loved the world...” My prayer is that through this series and during this time of maturity and growth we experience a love that is so profound, that we as believers become the greatest lovers on the face of planet. The world is starved for a love encounter....

BY Mark Roussouw Date: 24/01/2021 GOD is LOVE & JESUS is our blueprint example and the expression of what LOVE looks like.

Date: 20 December 2020 As a church… We may have lived from community into love... Yet, few of us have lived from love into courage We can do the spiritual bumper sticker in the moment, but are we really willing to truly risk for God.

Date 6 December 2020 My desire is that in the next few weeks I will be able to lead you out of confusion and into discovering the Spiritual gifts. Increasing faith, and risking and releasing the promise of your authentic and powerful supernatural gifts..

Date : 29 November 2020  Before you embrace your spiritual gifting, you must embrace your spiritual family. God releases power in a family, that is why this is significant If I have not settled my belonging before God, I will use my power to get love from people, rather than give love to people If I have not settled my belonging, I will use power not to prove Jesus, but to prove myself.

Date :22 November 2020 My deepest desire is not invite you to a message, a mornings meeting or a motivational talk. It is to invite you into a series of encounters that will transform your life and revolutionise the environment around you so that others will be transformed in and through the Power that is in you!

By   St2 Steven Scripture          Luke 19 We need to move beyond passion. Passion is when you feel God. I am passionate about my nation. I am passionate about justice. We must move to vision. When you actually see yourself on assignment with God. At the end of the day, passion will not transform the world. We cannot stand before Jesus one day...

By St2 Steven Date: 10 October 2020 As Christian infants we always follow Jesus, but as we mature Jesus wants us to go ahead in our assignments. We get commissioned, we get sent. We are no longer just keeping up – we are leading, we are influencing, we are living life – and to the full. Jesus wants to follow the obedient, the maturing. Jesus wants to follow the Real, the Radical and the Relevant....

“When considering corona pandemic lockdown and post-corona gathered church, there’s a tension between the core basics of doing church that must be affirmed and in some cases put back in place, and on the other hand, some things are no longer needed and new ways of doing church have emerged. So, the tension between the ‘main & plain’ that must be affirmed and the ‘new contextual’ that must be p...

Alexander Venter Alexander is an Author, Teacher, Pastor, and a recognised Apostolic voice in South Africa. In the pre-democracy SA, he and his wife Gill were instrumental in forging cross-culture mission into townships around Johannesburg. They have been part of the Vineyard Churches international team and currently live in Ballito. (Alexander is a wise and safe friend. St2)

Ryan Matthews Ryan and Melissa have led and growth churches internationally and within SA, living an apostolic assignment. Ryan is a one of the most liberating and encouraging leaders around. They are not leading a movement but lead an ever-increasing group of friends who led churches, business and so much more. (Ryan is a rock in my life as a leader and a mate. St2)

By Alison Steven Worldly HOPE is whimsical wishful thinking – “I hope I get a new job”-its strength is in the desire YOU have. But biblical hope is so powerful – because it’s an activation of faith (the things hoped for and yet not seen) and its strength lies in God’s Faithfulness! My HOPE is that as you listen to this, it brings hope into all your circumstances because as Steve Backlund says “He/...

Date      8 November 2020 By           Mark Roussouw In a busy and fractured world, how do we remain full of revelation, vision, and purpose? It is not by becoming busy but by positioning ourselves at the feet of Jesus. Mary absorbed Kingdom revelation from Jesus when she gave extravagantly, went into “no-go areas” and left her mark,...

By Mark Rossouw and Ashleigh Simpson 16 August 2020 3 John 1:2 (TPT) The unprecedented nature of our COVID-19 is setting the stage for us to practice how to effectively navigate through difficult circumstances and it’s accompanying emotions, thoughts and struggles. We believe that God is calling us to submit to the ‘cacooning process’ so that we can learn (and at times, unlearn) how to be effectiv...

By  Candice Rossouw 7 June 2020 Proverbs 29:18 Psalm 85:8 If we do not change the way we think, we will always be looking back at old comforts rather than the inheritance of what God is doing.  We need fresh and current revelation of what God is doing. We need to listen intentionally and listen intelligently to what God is doing When the ecclesia rises up and do what He is doing, and whe...

By ST2 We may be in the same storm, but we are not necessarily in the same boat. The purpose of the church is not limited to preaching and teaching. We are called to prepare. What do you believe and what are you doing about it? Geography does not isolate us – silence does! We need this personal revelation so that we can be a conduit from heaven and not a “forward and resend” of other people’s reve...

By John Hutcheson 5 July Pentecost Sunday-31 May 2020 Scripture   Acts 2:1-21, Mt. 28:19-20 How did an obscure carpenter from Nazareth, who never wrote a book, who never held high office, who never led an army and who died an ignoble death on a Cross become the Man who has affected civilisation as we know it today more profoundly than any other. We are called to do work with God by going...

By St2 Steven 12 July 2020 Now more than ever we need to  equip and empower so  that believers know wherever they are they create atmosphere and environments for people  to come home before they come to church. No longer can we lead with a mindset that God revolves around the church, the church revolves around God There is far too much confusion and polarisation in the structured ch...

By St2 Steven 5 July 2020 There is a generation is not long for a better denomination, but who are looking for family. They want a place where they can be fully undone so that they can become fully alive. This is a story of two sons, a  son is lost to rebellion and there is a son lost to religion. It is a story about an orphan who left home and an orphan who stayed home. We are the most loved...

By St2 Steven 28 June 2020 It’s about a father who has created an environment of love so that a son can come home to an environment of Sonship, identity, empowerment and authority. If we are truly following Jesus we should never be standing still. We cannot overtake Him and you must not lag behind Him. And often it is difficult to keep up with Jesus. And Jesus is still committed to leading us if w...

By St2 Steven Successful evangelism is not getting someone to pray a prayer or come to your church meetings. It is about getting someone, one step closer to Jesus. The only way we get someone one step closer to Jesus is when we find a pathway to their heart There is that the only thing that will transform most people… Is an encounter with the unconditional love of God that should come from the bod...
