The Rock - Paarl

Join us for week 2 of the New Year as we do the big ask for the year.

Happy New Year! 

Merry Christmas! Today our Senior Pastor Mark will be sharing on the Christmas story, and the importance of keeping Jesus in the center of your life. 

Today we hear from our Lead Pastor of Wellington, Camille Cerfonteyn, as she shares the importance of rest.

Christmas is around the corner and we have asked three of our staff members what Christmas means to them! Today we will hear from Dylan Lombard, Liz McCormick and Caelan Cerfonteyn as they share on CHRISTmas.

God used parables in the Bible to teach ordinary people like us about Kingdom principles. In Matthew 25:14-30,  we read about the parable of the talents and how each servant was given  different amounts from their master according to their ability. Two of  the servants went and doubled what was given to them and one simply  buried theirs. The master was pleased with the two but...

God wants us all to be cheerful givers. Generosity has little to do with  what’s in our bank account but rather everything to do with our heart.  In Mark 14:3-10, we read about a woman who gave an extravagant gift to  Jesus. Some of the people around Jesus were shocked at the gift and  rebuked her for it, saying she should have rather sold it and given the  money to the po...

The blessed life is not a matter about money, but rather a matter of the  heart. And following God’s principles are not there to get something  FROM you but rather to get something FOR you.  Jesus says in Luke 16:13, “You cannot serve both God, and  money(mammon).”Mammon is a spirit that promises us false security and  significance. A substitution to God. But peace and pur...

We need to put God first in all areas of our live, including our finances because putting God first changes our entire lives. It says in Matthew 6:21, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” If we make the choice to put God first in our finances it demonstrates where our priorities are - living in line with God principles. In the next few weeks we will be doing a series on, Mo...

Have you every asked God for more faith, but it feels like you asked for  some more patience instead? We can’t build our faith unless we are put  into situations where our faith is tested. When Abraham was given the  promise he would be a father he was already too old, when Noah was told  there would be a flood, there had never been rain, but he knew he needed  to build th...

When you give your life to Jesus, God claims you as His. You have a new  and amazing life ahead of you that God planned and purposed. But this  also puts you at risk from attack from the enemy. He can see things in  you that you can’t see in yourself - the potential you have - that’s why  he wants to come against you, preventing you from becoming the giant  killer that you...

As we walk with God we will find that he will bring people and opportunities across our path so that we can be a blessing. And when we take time to serve it allows God to take us to new levels of favour. We don’t have to bully our way to the top, instead we should realize that we can serve our way into favour and promotion. Something powerful happens when you take your eyes off of yourself and ont...

We know from God’s word that God didn’t call us to just be AT church,  but actually to BE the church. If you want a title for today’s message  it’s this: Body get up and walk! You see in Luke 5 in the Bible about  the awesome friends who literally ripped through a roof in order to get  their paralyzed friend to the feet of Jesus, because they wanted to see  him healed. And...

Did you know you can amaze Jesus? In Matthew 8:5-13 we read about a Roman solider who amazed Jesus with his faith and belief in Jesus’ ability to heal. Jesus, our savior, was amazed by a man. And this man was blessed because of that. Jesus has also been amazed by peoples unbelief. In Mark 6:1-6 we read about the unbelief of a town, and because of this Jesus wasn’t able to do any miracles except he...

We all can go through difficult seasons where we might even stop going  to church, and we pull into isolation because we are struggling. But we  also have those moments when we are reminded that God is calling us to  more in this life, and we can’t ignore that call forever. God often uses  other Christians and the Church to brings us through those seasons of  difficultly o...

God designed us to want live a life bigger than ourselves. That’s how He wired us. It’s easy to live as Christians on a Sunday, when we walk into a loving Church, with good coffee and happy faces greeting us. But the challenge comes when the storms of day to day life confront us. That is when we need to become ambassadors of Christ in our everyday lives. Paul said in 1 Corinthians 11:1, “follow my...

In Hebrews 11:6 it says, “without faith it is impossible to please God.”   As a church we truly believe in living by faith and not by sight. We  believe it is so important to live in faith, but also to speak faith  filled words over our lives. It’s is easy to wake up in the morning and  think about all the “bad” things in our lives and to speak into these  negative si...

We all have on average about 70 to 80 years on this earth, but that is nothing compared to eternity! So why should we not spend this time we have filling up eternity by helping others coming to know Jesus as their personal Lord and saviour. In the times that we live in we have to know that all of our lives are making a statement, either for bad or for good. This past Sunday we made a statement in...

When you’re driving your car and happen to be in the wrong gear your car will probably start shaking and making some funny sounds and it could possibly cause some damage. In our lives if we fail to shift our mindset when change is needed it can cause damage too. In this weeks series on Overflow, we looked at shifting our lives from greed to generosity. In 2  Corinthians vs 8 we see the M...

Living in overflow is always life giving. In this weeks series on Overflow we looked at Caleb in Joshua 14:6-12. Here we find Caleb ready to take the land God had given to him over 45 years ago in a promise. And even though Caleb is 85 years old he is still on fire for God and has never forgotten the promises of God. There are 4 lessons we can learn from these verses and Caleb’s faith. The first l...

We often find it hard to be patient in a world where we expect everything now. But good things can take time. In this weeks series on Overflow, we are looking at the principles of seed time and harvest. SEED+TIME=HARVEST. We need a seed, the seed needs time to grow into a plant and then a harvest is reaped. The whole harvest is in the seed. We  often ask God for a plant, but he gives us a see...

The definition of overflow is to go beyond your limits. When an  inflatable pool bursts, the water overflows onto the grass and saturates  everything in its path. In life we need to stop seeing ourselves as the  pool, that limits the water, but rather as the overflow that spills  over. We often live a “limited” life because we focus on what we can’t  do instead of what we...

In Corinthians 5:7 it says, "We live by faith and not by sight." As a  church we have adopted this as our verse for the year, along with the  statement, Believe for it! Living by faith at times is a lot easier said  than done, it's hard to believe and keep believing for something when  you can't see any sign of it. But God is always working, you just need  to keep believin...

We all have scars. Some are physical, some are internal, others are self  inflicted or happen to us. But as we learn to live with these scars we  need to see them in a new light; as a reminder of the goodness and grace God has shown to us through all of our challenges. Let your scars  remind you of the faithfulness of God, not the pain you had, or the bitterness of what you went thr...

If you had to give your year a title, what would it be? As a church we have titled 2022 as the year we "Believe for it!", but what is your IT, what is it that you're believing for? God has a special and unique plan just for you. But the plan requires more than just trusting for it, it requires making a decision and taking action. Esther made a brave and bold decision to save her people and she too...
