  Living in God’s Season | Pastor Moffat Chembe 17.09.2026 45分

  God authors every season, and He works through each person to accomplish His purposes in our lives and in His Church. As believers, we are called to recognise and embrace the season we are in, allowing God to shape our character, deepen our faith, and prepare us for greater responsibility and influence. Leadership, people, and seasons will change, but God does not, and His purposes for Miracle Life Family Church remain steadfast. Therefore, we remain faithful to His Word, trust His timing, and give ourselves to the Church's growth, unity, discipleship, and mission, trusting that God gives the increase. In this sermon, Pastor Moffat reminds us to embrace our Church’s current season, trust in God’s unchanging nature and purpose, and faithfully contribute to the Church's growth, unity, and mission.

  This is a message of appreciation marking the transition of Pastors Walker and Haley Schurz from senior leadership at Miracle Life Family Church.

  Living for God’s Glory | Pastor Moffat Chembe 17.08.2026 45分

  In this two-part series, we see how Jesus did not call His followers to blend in, He called them to stand out. In the Sermon on the Mount, He declared that His disciples are the salt of the earth. These are not aspirational titles, they are statements of identity. But identity without expression is meaningless. Authentic Christianity is the visible expression of the inward rule of Christ, producing Christlike character, righteous living, and redemptive influence in the world. The question this sermon confronts is not whether we call ourselves Christians, but whether our lives reflect the character of Christ and bring His goodness and influence into the world.

  Where Is Your Trust? | Pastor Alice Kanema 07.08.2026 33分

  The Bible calls us to trust in the Lord with all our hearts and to stop leaning on our own limited understanding. Trusting in wealth, human strength, or our own wisdom ultimately disappoints, because all of these are finite. But God, whose word never fails, whose character never changes, and whose purposes never stop, is worthy of our complete, unwavering trust. The fruit of that trust is not the removal of difficulty but the gift of peace that surpasses understanding.Pastor Alice’s sermon confronted a question every believer must answer honestly: Where is your trust? Not where should it be, but where is it, right now, in the middle of your real life? The sermon calls us away from the false securities of wealth, human support, and self-reliance, and back to the only anchor that holds, the Lord God, an everlasting rock. Hosted on Acast.

  Your Personal Responsibility | Pastor Moffat Chembe 26.07.2026 52分

  Pastor Moffat concluded the Spiritual Habits of Transformation series with a timely reminder that every believer has a personal responsibility to remain connected to Christ.Using the picture of the vine and the branches from John 15, he reminded us that lasting spiritual fruit cannot be produced through human strength alone. Just as a branch cannot survive or bear fruit when separated from the vine, we cannot grow, overcome sin or fulfil God’s purpose for our lives apart from Jesus.The message challenged us to recognise the attitudes and behaviours that interfere with our relationship with God, including pride, unbelief, sexual immorality, bitterness, unforgiveness and worldliness. These things weaken our spiritual lives, harden our hearts and prevent us from becoming the people God has called us to be.However, transformation is possible as we intentionally practise spiritual habits such as prayer, studying and meditating on God’s Word, fasting, forgiveness, worship and faithful service in the local church. These disciplines are not merely religious activities; they are ways of remaining connected to Christ and allowing His life to flow through us.The invitation from Sunday’s message was simple but powerful: Abide in Christ. As we remain in Him, He transforms our hearts, renews our minds and enables us to bear fruit that brings glory to God.

  Serving: A Covenant Habit | Pastor Sammie Ndhlovu 19.07.2026 42分

  Serving God is not just something we do—it is the fruit of a life that abides in Christ. We serve not to earn His grace, but because we have already received it. As we remain connected to the True Vine, His life flows through us and produces fruit that will impact generations. May our service be wholehearted, diligent, and rooted in genuine relationship with Him. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  Grace for Transitions | Pastor Walker Schurz 13.07.2026 44分

  In this sermon, Grace for Transitions, the message explores how believers can navigate seasons of change with faith, maturity, and spiritual discipline. Drawing from Ecclesiastes 3, the sermon reminds us that life moves through appointed seasons, and every transition requires trust in God’s timing and purpose.Using Israel’s wilderness journey as a warning, the sermon highlights how murmuring, complaining, and careless words can hinder people from entering into what God has prepared for them. Through passages such as Numbers 11, Numbers 13–14, James 3, and Proverbs 18, the message emphasizes that spiritual maturity is often revealed through what we say, especially during uncertain or uncomfortable seasons.Rather than allowing transition to produce fear, gossip, division, or negativity, believers are encouraged to use their words to pray, encourage others, give thanks, and speak faith. The sermon also calls the church family to remain connected through service, generosity, and commitment, recognizing that where our treasure is, our hearts will be also.Ultimately, this message points believers back to what never changes: God’s Word and Jesus Christ. In every season of transition, our confidence is not found in circumstances, systems, or familiar structures, but in the unchanging faithfulness of God and in Christ, the author and finisher of our faith.

  The Blessing of Christian Fellowship | Pastor Moffat Chembe 05.07.2026 49分

Drawing from Psalm 133, the message highlights how good and pleasant it is when God’s people dwell together in harmony.Using the biblical images of anointing oil and mountain dew, the Pastor explains how unity creates a sweet aroma before God and produces fruitfulness among His people. While human nature often leads to division, the Holy Spirit makes true fellowship possible, bringing together different individuals in covenant peace.Through four practical imperatives—embrace, encourage, edify, and elevate—this message calls believers to intentionally strengthen one another and value the divine blessing God commands where His people live together in sincere unity.

  Cultivating the Habit of Bible Study | Pastor Moffat Chembe 28.06.2026 49分

  In this sermon, Pastor Moffat teaches that Bible study is a foundational pillar for a spiritually transformed life. He explains that Scripture is not merely a topical manual, but prophetic history—carefully selected by God to reveal His nature, His purposes, and His work through specific people and events.The message highlights the ongoing internal conflict between human nature and the spirit, reminding believers that whichever side they consistently nurture will ultimately grow stronger. Pastor Moffat encourages believers to prioritize, pursue, practice, and proclaim the Word of God as a daily lifestyle, not just an occasional habit.By engaging with the Bible as divine revelation, believers are equipped to grow in righteousness, bear spiritual fruit, and align their lives more fully with Christ.

  The Necessity of Prayer for Transformation | Pastor Alice Kanema 21.06.2026 41分

  In this sermon, Pastor Alice Kanema explores the essential role of prayer in spiritual transformation and true discipleship. Using the biblical picture of the vine and the branches, he explains that lasting growth is not produced by outward behavior modification, but by an intimate and continuous connection with Christ.The message highlights the importance of abiding in Christ and allowing His Word to dwell richly within us. As believers grow in this relationship, prayer becomes more than a transactional habit; it becomes a deep, relational longing for God and His kingdom.Ultimately, this sermon calls believers to cultivate a life rooted in Christ, where prayer, obedience, and spiritual discipline produce visible fruit that glorifies God.

  The Foundation of Transformation | Pastor Moffat Chembe 14.06.2026 46分

  In this sermon, Pastor Moffat begins a new series titled Spiritual Habits of Transformation, calling believers to move beyond inconsistent spirituality and pursue lasting growth in Christ. Drawing from John 15, he explains that Jesus is the true vine and that we can only bear meaningful fruit when we remain vitally connected to Him.The message highlights God’s role as the vine dresser, who lovingly prunes His people through His Word, removing pride, selfishness, and anything that hinders spiritual productivity. Pastor Moffat defines transformation as a dramatic change in character and warns that life apart from Christ leads to spiritual barrenness.Ultimately, this sermon is a call to submit to God’s pruning and intentionally cultivate habits that lead to transformation, including prayer, community, and a deeper relationship with Christ. Through these spiritual disciplines, believers are invited to glorify God and experience a life marked by fruitfulness and overflowing joy. Hosted on Acast.
