Not everything that sounds spiritual is scriptural. In a world overflowing with podcasts, reels, TikToks, and teachings, how do we tell what’s true and trustworthy? In this Sunday message, Pastor Natasja unpacks a seven-sided biblical framework for discernment – tools to help you filter teaching through Scripture, theology, fruitfulness, and more. Don’t just scroll and consume. Learn how to discern.

What if contentment isn’t about what you have or don’t have – but who you’re walking with?
In Part 2 of “The secret path to peace and joy”, Pastor Louis goes deeper into Paul’s message from Philippians 4. He reminds us that anxiety often stems from fear – fear of lack or fear of loss. But peace comes when we trust in God’s provision and walk in community with others.
We’ll explore how generosity is a relational act, not a trans...

How do you stay steady when life is uncertain? In Philippians 4, Paul writes while under house arrest with surprising confidence – he’s discovered the secret to real peace and lasting joy.
It’s not in possessions, power, or control. It’s in contentment. The kind that comes from knowing who you belong to and trusting in God’s provision, no matter what.
In this Sunday message, Pastor Louis explores what it means to live a life unpl...

Are you running on empty?
In this honest and hope-filled message, Pastor Letsholo takes us on a journey with the prophet Elijah in 1 Kings 19 – a man who just faced a major spiritual victory, only to find himself drained, discouraged, and ready to give up. Sound familiar?
Being battle weary doesn’t make you weak – it makes you human. But God meets us in our weariness with rest, reassurance, and renewal.
We’ll explore how:

Can burnout happen when you’re not doing too much, but too little?
This Sunday, Pastor Louis delves into a surprising form of burnout: under-challenged burnout – a slow fade of motivation, purpose, and joy that happens when life feels too monotonous, when you’re not stretched or stirred. Drawing from Judges 6-8, we explore the story of Gideon, a reluctant leader who doubted his capacity but discovered what God could do through hi...

“A cord of three strands is not easily broken.” Ecclesiastes 4:12
We live in the most connected generation in history, yet so many people feel deeply alone. Loneliness has become a modern pandemic, and even within the Church, many silently carry the ache of isolation.
In this message, Pastor Louis explores the difference between loneliness and hiddenness – how one can drain us, while the other can develop us. And he looks at th...

What happens when we stop trusting God – and start making our own plans?
As Pastor Natasja wraps up our miniseries, we shift from Colossians to the powerful story of Jeroboam, Ahab, Jezebel, Elijah, and the prophets of Baal in 1 Kings. It’s a vivid picture of a divided kingdom … and divided hearts.
Faced with uncertainty and fear, Jeroboam chose control over trust, leading Israel into syncretism – the blending of true worship w...

In the Kingdom of God, relationships aren’t optional – they’re essential.
This week, Pastor Louis zooms in on something deeply human and deeply spiritual: relationships. From Paul’s closing greetings in Colossians 4 to his bold call in chapter 3 to put off sins that divide, we’re reminded that how we relate to others is a reflection of who we are in Christ.
Even under house arrest, Paul’s life overflowed with meaningful connect...

You can’t live a resurrection life without first dying to the old one.
Pastor Louis moves into the heart of Christian transformation in Colossians 3. Here, Paul gets practical in his letter, calling believers not just to believe in Christ but to become like Him. This means putting to death the old self: sinful desires, fractured relationships, disunity, and distorted sexual morality. In a world that encourages self-expression at ...

We’re not just invited to believe in Jesus – we’re called to be filled with Him.
In Colossians 2, Paul confronts deceptive ideas that threaten to replace Christ with lesser cosmic claims, including legalism, mysticism, philosophy, and spiritual forces. He reminds the Colossians, and us, that we don’t need to add anything to Jesus. Why? Because in Him, the fullness of God dwells, and we have been given fullness in Him.
In this m...

Some things are ruined when you add to them.
In the letter to the Colossians, Paul opens with a powerful declaration of Christ’s supremacy. The Colossians were being tempted to blend the Gospel with other beliefs – ceremony, legalism, angel worship, hidden knowledge. But Paul makes it clear: Jesus is not just part of the story – He is the WHOLE story.
In this message, Pastor Louis unpacks what happens when we try to add to Jesu...

Parenting is one of the most meaningful – and often the most challenging – callings we can step into. But here’s the hope: we’re not called to do it alone. In this message, Ben Pinches unpacks what it means to build a household where Jesus is truly at home – where grace, truth, and love shape the atmosphere for both parents and children.
From Deuteronomy to Ephesians, Scripture calls the home the first and most formative place of...

What does it mean to live generously at home? This week’s message by our guest speaker, Dan Backens, explores how Jesus transforms our households into places of peace, purpose, and radical generosity.
From 1 Peter 4:10, we’re reminded that every home is a space to steward God’s grace, not just in words, but through serving and giving. But to walk in true generosity, we must confront the spirit of poverty – the fear and scarcity m...

What are we filling our homes with? In this message, Pastor Louis explores how to build a household grounded in prayer, devotion, and presence, not just rules or routines, but a living relationship with Jesus at the centre.
Drawing from Joshua 24 and Jesus’ teaching about building on the rock, not the sand, we’re invited to make intentional choices about how we live in and lead our homes. Whether married or single, living alone or...

Welcome to the first message in our miniseries, where we explore what it means to be truly at home with Jesus, whether you’re single or married.
In Scripture, the word “oikos” (Greek for “house” or “household”) doesn’t just refer to a building – it speaks of your relational world. Your family, friends, neighbours, and anyone you do life with. This is where the Gospel first takes root and we begin living out our faith.

“He is not here – He is risen!”
On Resurrection Sunday, we celebrate the victory of Jesus – not just a great teacher or prophet, but God Himself, risen from the dead. The empty tomb declares it: Christ is alive, and nothing will ever be the same.
💥 Christ’s resurrection confirms His divinity, and He is the pioneer of a movement that spans the globe. Jesus went first, defeating sin and death – and now a train of millions follow i...

The cross is more than a symbol – it’s a diagnosis and a cure. It’s not just where Jesus died; it’s where our deepest wounds and sins are exposed and where healing begins.
On Good Friday, we reflect on the outrageous truth of the cross:
💔 That Jesus – both physician and medicine (as Saint Augustine said) – chose the path of suffering to heal and restore us and all of creation.
📖 1 Peter 2 tells us: “… by his wounds, you have bee...

Ever feel like the world is just... loud right now? Conflicting voices, constant debates, and a rising pressure to pick a side. In John 7, the crowd around Jesus asked the same thing we often ask today: Who’s right? What’s right?
The crowd was torn. Is Jesus a political figure? A prophet? A threat? Sound familiar? In our world of populism, nationalism, and toxic certainty, it’s easy to cling to belief systems that oversimplify the...

If you’ve ever felt like your prayers go unanswered or that heaven is silent, you’re not alone. The psalmist cried out, “Do not hide your face from me” (Psalm 27:9), and even Jesus Himself prayed, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Matthew 27:46).
Divine hiddenness is a mystery – but could it also be the very ground of faith? Mother Teresa, a symbol of unwavering devotion, wrestled with deep spiritual darkness. Some of ...
