Heritage Day Sermon—by Michael Burns

September 26, 2022

Sermon summary:

Ephesians 6:12 The battle we face is not against flesh & blood. Sin (our moral failures) is just one part. 
The spiritual powers and authorities work together to divide us.
Isaiah 24 God says he'll judge them together. We see the effect of their work when we see division, conflict, hatred among people in the world around us.
Ephesians 1:3–5; 18–21 God has brought us together as his people to be his agents, with a shared identity.
V18–23 Christ has defeated the powers and authorities by the grace of God. We don't see it.
We are evidence that Christ has defeated the powers and authorities. It's hard work. If it was easy the world would be doing it.
V12–15 Christ has done what the world couldn't do.
Ephesians 3:v6, 10 God's intent and wisdom is on display through what we do united as his church. His reputation is on the line. 
V14, 15–21 you'll understand and know the love of Christ.
Unity is cosmically important.
Ephesians 5: Follow God's example as his children, imitate him.
Ephesians 6:12–17 Put on the armour of God

Sacrificial Giving—by Ivor Botha, Erick Li Sik & Bridget Mokoteli

May 4, 2025
We are called to excel in the grace of giving—it’s not just a duty, but a spiritual act of worship. Be consistent and faithful in our giving. Set it aside intentionally, and don’t delay in fulfilling what you’ve committed to the Lord. Don't let your imperfect view of God impact your giving.

Biblical Parenting Part 1 —by Justin & Sarah-Jane Louw

April 27, 2025
Changing takes courage—but parenting God’s way means choosing His path, and knowing where our help comes from. Righteousness is about healing and strengthening relationships, not achieving perfection. Don’t conform to the world’s ways—seek God’s perspective on parenting. Model the behaviour you want to see, and let His Word draw your heart to your children, and theirs to yours. Be present in their spiritual journey—it's not optional, it's your responsibility.

Treasure in the Field—by Justin Louw & the Teens

April 20, 2025
We are like broken pieces of pottery. God went looking for us, he found the fragments of our lives discarded by life/shame/disappointment, and put us back with the blood of Jesus. Treat each other not as broken but perfected through Christ.
