God of the Underdogs Part I - David Kobedi - (Sunday 22 February 2026) by Christ Church Midrand

This sermon explores the pivotal moment in Genesis 3 when humanity's harmony with God is fractured by deception and disobedience, beginning with the serpent's subtle questioning of God's word and leading to Adam and Eve's choice to eat the forbidden fruit. It shows how this event introduced human vulnerability, shame, and a mixed experience of good and evil into the world by distorting God's generous provision and inviting prideful independence. The message unfolds the serpent's strategy of disguise, suggestion, exaggeration, and contradiction, ultimately revealing sin's destructive power and the human tendency to hide behind fig-leaf solutions. The sermon culminates in the hope of redemption through Jesus Christ, the “new Adam,” who overcomes deception and offers true wisdom, freedom, and life to all who trust in Him.

This sermon explores how Jesus, as the Bridegroom and Lord of the Sabbath, redefines traditional religious practices by inviting His followers into joy and freedom rather than legalistic observance. Using the Gospel narrative from Mark 2:18–28, the Pastor Roydon Frost contrasts the Pharisees' rigid fasting and Sabbath rules with Jesus' teaching that His presence brings celebration, rest, and true spiritual renewal. Frost emphasises that Jesus fulfils God's law with love and mercy, showing that Sabbath rest and fasting both have their place within a life shaped by relationship with Christ. Ultimately, the talk challenges all of us to reflect on how their behaviour reveals their understanding of God's nature and to live with joyful obedience as they journey toward the eternal feast.

The Gospel of Mark - The Great Physicians - Roydon Frost - (Sunday 08 February 2026) by Christ Church Midrand

This message unpacks the story in Mark 2:1-12, where Jesus meets a paralytic brought to Him amid a crowded room, first addressing the man's deeper spiritual need by declaring “Your sins are forgiven.” This declaration reveals Jesus' divine authority to forgive sins—something that shocked onlookers and challenged religious norms—and highlights that true healing begins with restoration to God, not merely physical relief. The sermon emphasises that all of us come to Jesus with something “wrong” in our lives—whether guilt, shame, or spiritual paralysis—and that the gospel invites us to trust His word above our lived experience. Ultimately, it calls believers and non-believers to recognise Jesus' power to transform hearts and to find freedom from the burdens they carry.

The Gospel of Mark - Mission and Compassion - Roydon Frost - (Sunday 25 January 2026) by Christ Church Midrand

This sermon explores the opening message of the Gospel of Mark, presenting Jesus as the long-anticipated King whose arrival breaks into history and calls for a decisive response from every listener. Drawing on Mark's vivid narrative style that emphasizes action and urgency, the message highlights how Jesus' kingship is both a proclamation of the kingdom of God and an invitation to leave behind old ways of life in order to follow Him. It emphasizes that the call of Christ is not merely informational but transformational, demanding personal repentance, belief, and commitment. In doing so, the sermon challenges believers to recognize Jesus' authority and respond to His call with obedience and faith.

In this sermon from Mark 1:9–13, Roydon Frost invites us to meet Jesus as both humble man and the divine Son of God, beginning with His baptism in the Jordan where the Spirit descends and the Father's voice affirms His identity. The narrative then follows Jesus into the wilderness, highlighting His confrontation with temptation and His obedience in the face of hostility. These opening events reveal that Jesus' mission is to conquer evil through suffering service—not worldly power—and to identify with humanity in our need for forgiveness. If who Jesus truly is shapes the course of your life, understanding Him here offers a transformative foundation for faith in 2026 and beyond.

Songs of Joy Part II - Angels - David Kobe - (Sunday 14 December 2025) by Christ Church Midrand

In “Songs of Joy Part I,” Raphael Mukanya reflects on the biblical passage from Luke 1:46–56, exploring the deep humility and faith of Mary when she responds to God's call with worship and surrender even before the unfolding of God's plan. Through this sermon, listeners are invited to see that gratitude and praise are not reserved for resolved circumstances — but are rooted in who God is. Mary's “Magnificat” emerges as both a personal song of devotion and a prophetic declaration of God's redemptive work — a powerful reminder that grace can meet us in our humble moments, and transform our lives.

Godliness in Overalls Part XIV - Security - Roydon Frost - (Sunday 16 November 2025) by Christ Church Midrand

Psalm 47

In this sermon Roydon Frost explores how pride leads to disgrace while true wisdom is found in humility, echoing the promise of Proverbs 11:2. He unpacks how pride not only damages our relationships and ourselves, but ultimately stands in rebellion against God's design for humanity. Drawing on the cross of Christ, he shows that God humbled Himself so that we too may embrace suffering, forget self and remember Him. The call is simple yet profound: confess your pride, submit to Christ's path of humility, and walk in the wisdom that honours God and serves others.

Amahubo - Songs of the Journey - Part 3 - Privilege Tafirei - (Sunday 02 November 2025) by Christ Church Midrand

In this sermon, the Roydon Frost explores how godly living isn't confined to rare moments of ritual, but must extend into our everyday work and relationships. Using the metaphor of honest weights in commerce (from Proverbs) and the foundational truth of justice in creation (as described in Romans 3 : 21‑26), He reminds believers that integrity, fairness and compassion are intrinsic to the character of God himself. The message challenges believers to pursue justice in their own lives, advocate for those who are oppressed, extend mercy to those who've wronged us — and keep their hope anchored in the promise of Christ's final reckoning. In doing so, believers become active instruments of God's generous justice in a world that so desperately needs it.

In “Godliness in Overalls Part XI – Love,” Pastor Roydon Frost explores how true godliness is lived out through love in our daily actions and relationships. He reminds us that love is not merely a feeling but the practical expression of Christ's character in our work, homes, and communities. Drawing from Scripture, the message shows that authentic spirituality is revealed in how we treat others with patience, kindness, and humility. This sermon challenges believers to put on “overalls” and serve with love that reflects the heart of God. It's a call to live out faith not just in words but through the everyday labor of love.

Psalm 44

Psalm 42

Godliness in Overalls Part X - Legacy - Roydon Frost - (Sunday 19 October 2025) by Christ Church Midrand

This sermon from Proverbs 10:1 - 5 explores God's wisdom on work, diligence, and righteousness. It reminds believers that true wisdom is not just knowledge but faith lived out through consistent, godly effort—“godliness in overalls.” The message contrasts the diligence that leads to fruitfulness with the laziness that brings poverty and shame, urging Christians to reject shortcuts and dishonest gain. It points to Jesus Christ as the perfect example of wise and purposeful work, whose obedience and sacrifice bring us lasting satisfaction. Ultimately, the sermon calls us to work hard and wisely, not to earn God's favour, but as an act of worship and trust in His provision.

General Series - Prayer - Roydon Frost - (Sunday 21 September 2025) by Christ Church Midrand

James 1:22-25, 1 Peter 2:2-3

This sermon, drawn from 1 Corinthians 6:12–20, addresses the call to honor God with our bodies by fleeing sexual immorality and embracing holiness. It exposes the lie that personal freedom means doing whatever we want with our bodies, reminding us instead that we were “bought with a price” through Christ's blood. Pastor Roydon highlights that unchecked appetites enslave us, but true freedom is found in submitting our bodies to the Lord. Both marriage and singleness are presented as God-given ways to glorify Him, with sex within marriage serving as a reflection of the gospel's selfless love. Ultimately, the sermon urges believers to look back to Christ's sacrifice, look inside to the indwelling Spirit, and look forward to the resurrection hope, living now in the light of God's eternal glory.

2 Peter 3:18

Milani - It's Time For You To Grow - Part I - David Kobedi - (Sunday 07 September 2025) by Christ Church Midrand

This sermon unpacks the opening of Mark's Gospel, showing how John the Baptist prepared the way for Jesus as foretold by the prophets. At His baptism, Jesus is revealed as God's beloved Son, empowered by the Spirit, and set on a mission that would lead to the cross and victory over sin and Satan. The preacher emphasizes the urgency of repentance and belief, reminding us that the gospel is the true good news and the only hope for salvation. Christianity is not partial commitment but a call to make Christ the central authority and organizing principle of our lives. The message concludes with a clear challenge: today is the time to repent, believe, and live under the kingship of Jesus.

This sermon unpacks Jesus' parable of the wedding feast, showing that God's kingdom is like a banquet where all are invited to share in fellowship with Him. While many reject His generous invitation, often choosing other priorities, God continues to extend His call to all people—both “good and bad.” Yet, entry into the kingdom is not on our own terms but by being clothed in the righteousness of Christ. The message highlights the seriousness of rejecting God's rule, which leads to destruction, and the joy of accepting His call, which leads to life. Ultimately, the sermon reminds us that God patiently invites us to turn to Him, repent, and celebrate in His eternal feast.

He Is More Than Enough Part VI - David Kobedi - (Sunday 17 August 2025) by Christ Church Midrand

In this sermon, the parable of the tenants in Matthew 21 is used to show how God's people rejected His prophets and ultimately His Son, Jesus Christ. The vineyard represents God's kingdom, entrusted to His people to bear fruit, yet instead they chose rebellion and defiance. Jesus reveals Himself as the rejected cornerstone, who through the cross becomes the very foundation of God's salvation plan. The message calls us to examine our hearts, repent from elf-centred living, and embrace Christ as Lord. Only by building on Him as the cornerstone can we live fruitful lives that glorify God.

He Is More Than Enough Part VI - Privilege Tafirei - (Sunday 03 August 2025) by Christ Church Midrand

This sermon explores the story of Jesus healing the man at the Pool of Bethesda in John 5, highlighting both the miracle and its deeper spiritual meaning. Jesus's question, “Do you want to get well?”, challenges us to confront our own brokenness and need for healing. More than physical restoration, the message emphasizes that true healing comes through faith in Christ and leads to holiness. The sermon draws a powerful parallel to the bronze serpent in Numbers 21, calling us to look to Jesus for salvation. It is a call to stop waiting on external solutions and to turn in faith to the only one who truly heals—Jesus Christ.

Saints & Sinners Part X - Roydon Frost - (Sunday 27 July 2025) by Christ Church Midrand

This sermon explores the biblical call to church discipline as taught in 1 Corinthians 5, emphasizing that discipline is an act of love aimed at restoration, not punishment. It addresses the seriousness of unrepented sin within the church community and the responsibility believers have to protect the body of Christ from moral corruption. Drawing from both Paul's teaching and Jesus' words in Matthew 18, the message outlines a clear, grace-filled process for confronting sin. It reminds the church that our identity in Christ calls us to live differently — as a holy, unleavened people. Above all, the sermon challenges us to pursue truth and love together, holding one another accountable in humility and faithfulness.
