Life in Christ—by Solly Kganyago

Sermon recap:
What does life with Christ mean to us? We become a new creation and we need to throw off everything that hinders our relationship with God. Don't normalise sin. Run the race of life with perseverance, it is a marathon not a sprint. Be obedient to God, using your gifts to serve God's family. Time is limited, stop blaming others, and be rooted in the truth to distinguish false teaching, and remain in Christ. You can watch the full lesson on our YouTube channel (it starts at 50 mins).
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.
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.
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.
