Values

Build

February 12, 2023 • Ps Bruce McCleland • Matthew 6:19–21, Matthew 28:19–20, Ephesians 5:25–28, Nehemiah 8:5–9

WHAT IS DETERMINING WHAT YOU VALUE?

Many of us learn our values from our parents, our peers, our family cultures and our beliefs. Similarly, our emotions, experiences and accomplishments in this life play an important role in determining what we hold dear.

In this message, Pastor Bruce McCleland encourages us to let the things of heaven determine our values, and to let the ways of heaven determine our ways on earth. We need to have our eyes set on eternity.

Build buildings & structures

February 26, 2023 • Ps Anthony Liebenberg • Nehemiah 1, Nehemiah 2, Nehemiah 4

Before a builder starts building a house, he or she needs a clear idea of the end goal. So we also need to know what we want to build and make sure that it is in line with God’s will and that it is always covered by prayer. Then we will know what to prepare for, expect and focus on. Citing the example of Nehemiah and his resolve to rebuild his city, Pastor Anthony Liebenberg reminds us how important it is to keep our focus, despite sometimes being discouraged or even mocked. Not only did Nehemia believe God for his city, his church and his community, but also for God’s provision for his own home.

Build People

February 19, 2023 • Megan McCleland • Nehemiah 9

Have you ever felt insignificant or wondered whether God has a plan for your life? God assures us that He does. Not only does He care about you personally but He has designed a specific part for you to play in His kingdom, so that you can make and be the difference in your family and your community. Looking at the example of Nehemiah, Pastor Megan McCleland in this message encourages us to faithfully play our part, to build our lives on the foundation of Jesus Christ, and to build and care for people so that we can see communities restored.

Vision

February 5, 2023 • Ps Bruce McCleland • Nehemiah 1, Nehemiah 2

WHAT IS YOUR VISION? As we accelerate into the new year, we need to be cognisant of the path we’re putting our energy into. Whose vision are we building? Are we following God’s vision? In this message Pastor Bruce McCleland challenges us to check our vision with God’s vision. He explains what God’s vision will require from us, and reminds us that a vision alone is a vision postponed.
