Shofar Port Elizabeth Sermons

The grace of God on our lives is never only for us, but for the benefit of many others too. There are specific gifts of grace on our lives that scripture encourages us to minister to one another so that grace can be multiplied.

We are designed to live under an influence, which means we can be influenced in many ways. God's ultimate plan is that we live under the constant influence of GRACE, a reality greater than any other influence.

What is grace and how can we live more in it? In John 8:2-11, a woman, caught in adultery, was brought before Jesus. She faced the weight of the law, the accusations of people and the devil, and her own sinful conscience. However she also came face to face with AMAZING GRACE, which changed her life forever.

There is a saying that goes ‘No man is an island’, and it is so very true, especially in this day and age. For God this is also specially important, as He desires us to know Him and experience Him, as well as us being part of this beautiful body of Christ.

In Mark 2, Jesus reveals who He is by healing and forgiving a paralyzed man. One encounter with Him will change your life, not only for this life, but for the life to come. What breakthrough do you need? The greatest breakthrough could just be the one that gets you into the presence of Jesus.

Healthy relationships are built on a foundation of honor. What is honor and what does the word of God say about creating a culture of honor that demonstrates His kingdom? Shame brings disgrace, but honor wins the race!

Judgment and condemnation destroy relationships, but there is a RIVER OF MERCY that Jesus made available, that flows from the throne of God, floods over judgment and unforgiveness, and flourishes wherever it flows as forgiveness is released.

Have you ever wondered how the God we serve can be three persons joined in one? The Trinity reveals the mystery, glory and goodness of God.

Love is such a powerful word, yet it is also used so casually without a deep understanding of what it really is. When there is no longer love in any relationship, pain and sorrow will take over. What is PERFECT LOVE and how can we grow in it so that our relationships will be blessed?

The question in any relationship is not whether we communicate, but how we communicate. Some communication comes from the need to always agree, so we either avoid conflict, or always aim to be right, but what if we can communicate from a need to understand the other person? GODLY COMMUNICATION is an important tool to cultivate healthy relationships.

When relationships flourish, people are able to handle challenges better and life is more joyful, peaceful and fruitful. The enemy wants the exact opposite, and one of his tactics is to keep people in unhealthy powerless relationships through what is called triangulation, where a victim, a bad guy and a rescuer prevent freedom. What does look like and how this cycle be broken?

Who wouldn't want to sit on the throne next to Jesus? In the last of the seven letters in Revelation 3, there are sobering truths that challenge us to be WORSHIPPING WITNESSES. Behold, Jesus is standing at the door and knocking. Will you open for Him?

In the story of the prodigal son in Luke 15, there was a moment of revelation that caused him to turn back to his father’s house. What was this revelation and how can we apply this to our lives?

Who are you when everything else is stripped away? When you know who you are in Christ, it determines your life, your worth, your purpose, your destiny and your calling, but past hurts cause you to listen to the voice of the enemy. Whose voice are you listening to and who defines you?

What does it take to be a FRIEND of God? In the sixth letter to the churches in Revelation, Jesus commends the church in Philadelphia for her FAITHFULNESS, even with only a little strength. His promises and rewards encourage us to endure and overcome. Jesus died for a church known as His FAITHFUL FRIENDS.

There is power in praise, even in the midst of trials. Have you ever asked WHERE, WHEN, WHY, HOW and WHO, when it comes to praise? Psalm 150 answers all these questions and more. Let PRAISE arise.

Whether life is going well or not, thanksgiving is a key to living in the presence of God. Why is this so important and how can we be thankful when times are tough? An attitude of gratitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.

What if revival started with the words we speak? The tongue has the power to bring life or death, to build or to break. There are three categories of words that we entertain in our lives: words from others, words to others and words about others. How would you rate yourself in these areas?

Revival leads to powerful moves of the Holy Spirit which is available to all believers to advance the gospel of the kingdom of God. Will you say yes to move with Him?

Robbie Morgan, a farmer from Adelaide in the Eastern Cape, shares his story and passion for following Jesus from Luke 9:23-24. Be inspired to deny yourself, take up your cross daily and follow Jesus.

RELIGION or REVIVAL? The letter to the church in Sardis reminds us that Jesus died so that His church can COME ALIVE THROUGH HIS SPIRIT, not merely survive and go through the motions.

God's uses our brokeness and He makes something beautiful out of it. Joel 2:25 says that God will restore the years the locust has eaten. Myan Subrayan shares his powerful testimony of how God changed his situation. Listen and be inspired!

Throughout Scripture, from Noah to Elijah, altars marked moments where heaven met earth. But what about today? We are always building something with our lives. The question is: what altar are you building?

Resurrection Sunday, the day we remember Jesus triumphing over death and the grave always brings excitement to the blood-washed Child of God! However, as tradition and familiarity of this day has crept into so many believers lives, it is vital that we again look closely at what the resurrection really means for you and me!

Have you ever thought about what leads to corruption or defilement in any country, organization or group of people? There is a battle for purity and worship in the nations. In the letter to Thyatira, Jesus reminds His church to remain UNDEFILED, and that He has given both keys to overcome and rewards for overcoming.
