This Sunday we continue to look at the life of Jacob through the lens of a Kingdom life in particular the twenty or so years he lived in exile in Haran. We see how human brokenness can impact others but when God is kept at the centre it makes all the difference.

2023-06-11 Sermon – Jacob’s Ladder
In Genesis 28, we read the extraordinary account of Jacob’s encounter with God. Instead of sanctioning him, though, God blessed Jacob. Jacob did the right thing by recognizing God and worshipping Him, but he was mistaken in making his acceptance of God conditional upon his own human terms, rather than trusting God entirely. Join usContinue reading “2023-06-11 Sermon – Jacob’s Ladder”
2023-05-21 Sermon – Birthright
This week we learn about Esau and Jacob, the twin boys born to Isaac and Rebekah. Such rivalry existed between the two that they jostled with each other even in their mother’s womb. What Kingdom lessons can we learn and how might we apply these lessons to the birthright that we share with Christ.
2023-05-14 Sermon – Unanswered Prayer
This Sunday we continue to look at the story of Isaac in the Bible. There we encounter two prayers that have a lot to teach us about how God approaches our prayers to Him. Join me as we unpack the process of prayer.
2023-05-07 Sermon – Isaac
Today we look at the life of Isaac and what it can teach us in our faith life journey. We make use of the Kingdom lens to understand why we go through times of testing and what to hold on to, so that we don’t loose hope when we can’t yet see what God isContinue reading “2023-05-07 Sermon – Isaac”
2023-04-30 Sermon – Waiting on God
This Sunday we return to the story of Abraham in Genesis 16. We learn that our journey of faith needs to be a patient one. Patient, so that we can allow God to be at work in His time. This can be a place of tension but God is a God who sees us andContinue reading “2023-04-30 Sermon – Waiting on God”

Today is Palm Sunday where Jesus was recognised and celebrated as He always should have been. We finish our series in 1 John by looking at chapter 5 by seeing how all we have learnt will lead us to having Christ enter our lives with triumph.
2023-03-26 Sermon – God is Love
In 1 John 4:16, John declares that “God is Love” . God has intentionally created each one of us with our own unique and God-given attributes; our gender, our race, our physical appearance. When God created mankind, he said that we were Very Good. In addition, God so loved us that He “sent his SonContinue reading “2023-03-26 Sermon – God is Love”
2022-12-18 Sermon – Love – Advent 2022
This is the fourth Sunday of Advent and we are focussing on the theme of Love. Holy Week is almost upon us! This week we look at the song of Simeon. If anyone knew about the journey to Advent, it’s Simeon. We as the people of God have much to learn to from his examples.
2022-11-27 Sermon – Hope – Advent 2022
As we start the journey of advent, we light the first candle representing Hope. We look at the Song of Mary recorded in chapter 1 of the Gospel of Luke. Mary exalted God, even though she knew He was calling her to a difficult task, she knew that God was merciful and faithful, and thereforeContinue reading “2022-11-27 Sermon – Hope – Advent 2022”
