  Your Personal Responsibility | Pastor Moffat Chembe 26.07.2026 52мин

  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 42мин

  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 44мин

  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.

  Who Do You Go To? | Rev. Vidar Ligard 16.03.2026 44мин

  Rev. Vidar Ligard delivers a powerful message centered on the question, “Who do you go to?”—challenging believers to examine where they turn when life becomes difficult. Using biblical examples from Paul, Thomas, Job, and others, he explains that storms and pressures come to everyone, but the difference lies in whether people rely on themselves, worldly systems, or fully trust God.He emphasizes that faith must move beyond simply believing in God to having a personal relationship with Him as “My Lord and my God.” Through Christ, believers have entered a covenant relationship with God and have direct access to His throne for mercy, grace, and help in times of need. Ligard encourages believers to see God not as a distant concept but as a covenant friend and ultimate authority in every area of life.Drawing from personal experiences and ministry challenges, he illustrates that external pressure should lead believers to build greater spiritual strength internally through faith, worship, and trust in God’s Word. The message ultimately calls Christians to live with integrity, humility, and obedience, trusting that God will promote, sustain, and deliver those who fully surrender their lives to Him.
