Where does God really live? In this message we follow one powerful thread through the whole Bible, from Eden to the tabernacle, the temple, Jesus, and finally Christ in us. Discover how God's plan was never simply to dwell in buildings or remain distant in heaven, but to make His home in humanity. This teaching will reshape how you think about God's presence, the Church, and what it means to live every day in union with Him.

What if the story of the Bible doesn't begin with man's failure, but with God's purpose? Tonight at Word Feast, we're going back to the beginning to discover a plan that existed before sin, before the fall, and before the foundation of the world. From Genesis to the Gospel of John and the writings of Paul, we'll begin tracing the Bible's unfolding story and discover why Christ was never God's Plan B. The plan was always Christ.

What if you could read the Bible faithfully and still miss its central message? In the conclusion to Week One of Word Feast, we discover how Jesus and the apostles taught us to read the Scriptures, and why Christ is not merely found in the Bible, He is the One the Scriptures are pointing us toward.

Have you ever read a Bible passage and wondered, “How was I supposed to understand that?” Sometimes the clue is closer than you think. In Day 5 of Word Feast, we'll learn to follow the connections the biblical writers leave for us and discover what happens when we keep reading.

Discover how the Bible communicates through metaphors, imagery, poetry, prophecy, parables and symbolic language. Discover why recognising how Scripture speaks can completely change how you understand what it says, and help you avoid interpretations the biblical writers never intended. This is a foundational session that will reshape the way you approach everything from Genesis to Revelation.

Learn how to read Scripture as it was written by paying attention to context, grammar, pronouns, tenses, audience, historical setting and the writer's intention. We will discover why a text cannot mean today what it could never have meant to its original audience, and how careful interpretation helps us see Christ more clearly and apply Scripture faithfully.

What exactly is the Bible? How did it come together? Who wrote it? What does it mean that Scripture is "God-breathed"? And why does understanding these things completely change the way we read it?

Living For Something Bigger - Part 1 - Slaves of Christ - Ettienne Willemse (Tygerberg) by GraceLife Podcast

What happens when we fail, when shame takes over, and our instinct is to hide from God? Genesis 3 is often remembered as the chapter where everything went wrong, but there is something remarkable happening in the story: **when humanity hid, God came looking.** From Adam hiding among the trees to Jesus revealing the God who seeks and saves the lost, this message traces one of the most beautiful threads in Scripture. And it might completely change the way you see God when you feel at your worst.

What if the Christian life isn't about trying to get closer to God, but learning to live from how completely Christ has already brought you near? In this final part of No More Distance, discover how union with Christ transforms the way we pray, worship, love, serve and live. You're not trying to reach God. In Christ, there is no more distance.

Family Matters - Part 5 - Not Afraid - Pieter Weenink (Stellenbosch) by GraceLife Podcast

What if there is more happening in the opening chapters of Genesis than we have realised? Beyond the familiar stories are themes and truths that run through the entire Bible and profoundly shape how we understand God, ourselves and the Gospel. In this teaching, we go back to the beginning, follow the Scriptures carefully, and discover why Genesis matters far more to our everyday Christian life than we might think.

What does it really mean to have the Spirit of God living within you? In Part 3 of No More Distance: Living From Union With Christ, we discover how the indwelling Spirit makes Christ known, assures us of our sonship, and teaches us to live in conscious fellowship with the Father. This is not about trying to get God closer, but learning to pray, worship, make decisions, love people and live everyday life from the reality that the Spirit of Christ already lives in you.

What if God's dwelling place is no longer a building, but His people? In Part 2 of No More Distance: Living From Union With Christ, we explore what it means to be the temple of God, individually and together as the body of Christ. Discover how the indwelling Spirit transforms the way we see church, worship, prayer, ministry and everyday life, as we learn to live not only from the reality of God in us, but God working through us. This is Part 2.

What if you could read the Bible, know the stories, quote the verses, and still miss the One it was revealing? In the first message of Finding Jesus, we discover how Jesus Himself taught us to read Scripture. From John 5 to the road to Emmaus, we see that the Scriptures ultimately point us to Christ, His saving work and the gospel. This isn't simply about becoming better at Bible study. It's about knowing Jesus more clearly. Because how we read Scripture shapes how we see God, how we relate to Him, and how we live our everyday lives. The goal isn't merely to know more Bible. It's to see Jesus, know Him, and walk with Him.

Koinonia - Part 3 - More Than Just Forgiven - Ettienne Willemse (Tygerberg) by GraceLife Podcast

What if the Christian life isn't about trying to get closer to God, but discovering how completely Christ has already brought you to Him? In No More Distance: Living From Union With Christ, we trace the biblical story of God dwelling with His people and discover its fulfilment in Christ and the indwelling Spirit. Learn what it means to stop relating to God from a mentality of distance and begin to pray, worship, and live from the reality of union with Christ. This is Part 1.

Family Matters - Part 3 - God Is Not A Vampire - Pieter Weenink (Stellenbosch) by GraceLife Podcast

What are you believing God for? A breakthrough, a new opportunity, healing, provision? But what if biblical faith is far bigger than believing God for a particular outcome? In this teaching, we explore what it really means to live by faith, to walk through everyday life with Jesus, confident in what He has accomplished, conscious of Christ within, and increasingly shaped by the reality of eternity. Faith isn't merely about what you're hoping to get. It's about knowing the One you have believed.

How does the Holy Spirit actually lead us? Is it always a voice, a vision or some dramatic supernatural experience?

Discover how to recognize His leading without becoming superstitious, fearful or afraid to make decisions.

What if following God doesn't mean waiting for Him to make every decision for you? In this episode, we confront the fear of “missing God” and discover the freedom of making decisions with wisdom, a renewed mind, and confidence in the Spirit who lives within us. **You are allowed to think, choose, act and grow, without turning every decision into a desperate search for a sign.**

Discover how knowing God as He is revealed in Jesus can replace uncertainty and fear with confidence, clarity and trust.

In Making Decisions With God, Shayne Holesgrove will help you cut through the confusion, fear and common misconceptions surrounding God's will and the Spirit's leading. Whether you're facing a major life decision or simply want greater confidence in following God, this series will equip you to move forward with clarity, wisdom and confidence.

What if living by faith is far simpler, deeper, and more freeing than we have made it? **Faith That Looks to Jesus** explores what Hebrews really teaches about faith, especially when prayers seem unanswered, circumstances refuse to change, and life does not go according to plan. A message to free you from striving, deepen your friendship with Jesus, and help you discover where faith ultimately fixes its gaze.

What are you trusting God for? A breakthrough? Healing? More money? A better opportunity? Your dreams to finally come together? For many Christians, living by faith has become about believing bigger, expecting more and trusting God to make things happen. But is that really what the Bible means by living by faith? This teaching might challenge some of what you have believed about faith and invite you to see the Christian life differently.
