As we open the Bible, we encounter God's presence and His desire to know and transform us.

Love Your Church Part 8 - Giving - Roydon Frost - (Sunday 16 March 2025) by Christ Church Midrand

In this sermon, Blaque Nubon unpacks Ephesians 2:11-22, emphasizing that evangelism is an act of love, not obligation. He challenges believers to examine their desire to share the gospel, reminding us that while many know how to evangelize, few actively do it. Using powerful examples, including the words of atheist Penn Jillette and the lives of evangelists like Billy Graham and Nicholas Bengu, he highlights that the desire to witness comes from God working through us. Evangelism isn't about saving people—that's God's role—but about sharing Christ in everyday moments, even small interactions with coworkers, neighbors, or security guards. This message calls believers to overcome fear, rejection, and comfort, embracing their God-given mission to share the gospel wherever they are.

How do you relate to authority? Parents, bosses, church leaders—our world struggles with authority, often seeing it as abusive, irrelevant, or absent. But what if there's a better way? In this sermon from our Love Your Church series, we explore what godly leadership should look like, why true leaders serve rather than dominate, and how a biblical perspective on authority can bring life and unity to the church. Join us as we dig into 1 Peter 5 and rediscover what it means to lead and follow in a way that honors God.

In this sermon, Raphael Mukanya preaches on the true path to greatness as taught by Jesus—one of service rather than power and success. Drawing from Romans 12:1-13, he highlights how the church functions as a body, where every member has a vital role to play. When one part fails to serve, the whole body suffers. Just as Jesus chose humility over a throne, we too are called to use our gifts for the good of others. Are you fully embracing your role in the body of Christ, or is the church missing something because you're holding back? Join us as we explore how true greatness is found in serving one another for the glory of God!

In this sermon, Pastor Roydon Frost unpacks the biblical call to care for one another, drawing from Galatians 6:1-10. True Christian care involves restoring those caught in sin with gentleness, bearing one another's burdens, and avoiding spiritual pride. Jesus, in his meekness, bore our greatest burden, freeing us to love and serve each other selflessly. Whether through church discipline, practical support, or simply listening, Christians are called to care deeply for the church family. As they do, they fulfill the law of Christ, reflecting his love and grace in their lives.

The sermon emphasizes the importance of gathering as a church community, building routines that help us love and welcome others, and fulfilling our responsibilities as believers. It highlights the example of the early church in Acts 2, where believers devoted themselves to God's Word, fellowship, and prayer, showing love for both God and one another. The message also stresses that church is not about personal gain but about mutual encouragement, growing in maturity, and becoming a light to others. Respect within the church means building each other up, while reaching out involves providing biblical answers to life's big questions. Ultimately, gathering is a response to Jesus' love and salvation, encouraging believers to live differently and share God's truth with those seeking it.

In this sermon, Roydon Frost explores the parable of the prodigal son, highlighting the father's radical welcome to his wayward son and the older brother's bitter response. The story reflects God's grace, love, and open arms toward the lost, challenging us to extend the same hospitality to others. The sermon introduces the concept of gracism—welcoming people regardless of colour, class, or culture—calling for inclusive communities where grace is both preached and practised. Historical context shows how early Christians were mocked for their radical welcome, yet this inclusivity was a hallmark of the gospel. Ultimately, the message urges us to embody God's heart by embracing the outsider and ensuring our communities reflect His love.

In this sermon, David Kobedi preaches on how God unites people from diverse backgrounds into His family through Christ. Drawing from Ephesians 1:1-14, he emphasizes that true belonging comes not just from hearing the gospel but from personally believing it. Using vivid illustrations, such as trusting a performer and receiving an unearned stadium access card, the message highlights how Christ's sacrifice grants us access to God's presence—a gift we could never earn but can confidently accept. This belonging is secured by the Holy Spirit, assuring us of God's eternal love."

The sermon explores Ephesians 2:1-10, emphasizing God's grace and the gospel as a gift, not something earned. It contrasts religion's idea of striving to reach God with the gospel's message of God coming to humanity through Jesus. Without God, we are spiritually dead, but through Christ, we are made alive and become His masterpiece, created for good works. The futility of relying on works for salvation is highlighted, celebrating grace as the means to restoration. It's a call to embrace the freedom, hope, and purpose found in Christ.

Revelation 5: 1-10. This sermon explores the Book of Revelation, focusing on the imagery of the throne, the lion, and the lamb.

1 Sammuel 28: 1 - 25. In this sermon Blaque Nubon explores the complex relationship between African spirituality and Christianity. The speaker, Blaque Nubon, uses the story of King Saul from the Bible to warn against seeking guidance outside of God. He argues that ancestral practices can lead to a wrong understanding of God.

In this sermon Roydon Frost delves into the profound impact of our speech, highlighting the importance of speaking truthfully and lovingly as taught in Proverbs. He emphasizes that words hold power to build up or destroy, urging believers to speak less, listen more, and weigh their words carefully. Truth, when spoken without love, can wound, while love without truth is empty, making their union essential. He illustrates this with examples, contrasting the fleeting success of lies with the eternal strength of truth, as seen in Proverbs 12:19. Ultimately, he concludes that only by embracing Christ—the Word made flesh—can our hearts and words be transformed to bring life, reflecting God's truth and love.

The sermon, based on Luke 18:9-14, contrasts the Pharisee's self-righteousness with the humility of the tax collector. The Pharisee, proud of his morality, looks down on others, while the tax collector humbly acknowledges his sin and seeks God's mercy. Jesus teaches that those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and the humble will be exalted. The key message is that true righteousness comes from a heart of humility before God, not from outward appearances or self-righteousness. It emphasizes that prayer reveals one's heart and attitude toward God.
