Our Sheperd in Every Season
June 30, 2024 • Marno Jansen
King David, after all his experiences with the Lord, reflects on God’s shepherd heart. According to David, the good shepherd is all we need, in every season of our lives.

The Whole Armor of God
June 23, 2024 • Craig Galloway
The armor of God can easily become a ‘kid’s church’ story. In reality, it holds powerful truth and teaching to help us walk out our Christian faith.

Keep Burning
May 26, 2024 • Louis Els Jr
What does it mean to keep burning, and not grow cold? There is something about being close to Jesus that keeps us ‘burning’ (passionate, committed, hopeful). He fans into flame that which is in our hearts. We don’t move from encounter to encounter, we live with a strong conviction of God’s glory and passion for His presence. Ps Louis explores five things that are essential for a believer that wants to keep their passion alive.
Stirred Up & Spurred On
May 19, 2024 • George Gourlay
People put a great deal of time and resources into going to places that are beautiful to behold (to look at). We travel great distances to see things that cannot be found anywhere else. Do we put the same effort into beholding His glory? Dr Craig challenges us that beholding Him is a purposeful thing that we intentionally choose to do. How can we choose to behold Him in our everyday life?
Peace
May 12, 2024 • Jenna van der Westhuizen
Peace is a loaded word. It is so much more than an absence of ‘war’. The word for peace in Hebrew: ‘shalom’, means wholeness. It speaks of something complete and unbroken and finished. A person is ‘shalom’ (at peace) when they are restored and whole - not just living absent of conflict or strife. Jenna vd Westhuizen unpacks three powerful thoughts on peace and how it changes the way we live.

Living a Consecrated Life
April 21, 2024 • Craig Galloway
Consecration often sounds like a heavy subject, but it's not meant to be. In truth, it is something we choose to seek out, and it brings us great joy and life. It is a beautiful joy to be faithful and true to our covenant with God (much like it is a great joy to be true and faithful to our spouse). Craig Galloway explores what it really means to choose to have a consecrated heart and the beautiful journey it is.
Love for the Nations
April 14, 2024 • Edwin Fillies

Move On and Move In
March 17, 2024 • Jenna van der Westhuizen
