    Ps Harry de Vries - "Worship in the Garden"

    Play Episode Listen Later Jun 4, 2025 30:35


    Worship was there in Genesis 1 and was lost in a garden in Genesis 2. While we know that God inhabits the praises of his people we can fall into the trap that when we praise God then has to turn up and this is a self centred worship. Our worship begins and ends with God and Jesus reinstated, redeemed and restored our worship.

    Do You Feel Like God Is Not With You? You're Not Alone—But You Are Never Truly Alone. Life gets heavy. Challenges mount, anxiety creeps in, and sometimes it feels like God is distant or silent. But the truth, rooted in Scripture, is that God SO loves you—and because of that deep, enduring love, He is always near. Let's explore some powerful Bible verses that prove God's presence, love, and faithfulness even in our darkest moments.

    Nicholas Van Deventer - "The Good Samaritan"

    Play Episode Listen Later May 21, 2025 28:45


    It was the Samaritan, a man despised by Jewish society, who stopped, bound the man's wounds, and ensured he was cared for. His compassion moved him to action, and that action became the miracle the wounded man needed. Compassion isn't weakness—it's the beginning of healing. It opens the door for God to work. In this story, Jesus reframes what it means to truly "love your neighbor." It's not about knowing the law—it's about living it through mercy.

    Ps Cil de Vries - "Storm Chasing with Jesus"

    Play Episode Listen Later May 13, 2025 22:51


    In Psalm 77, we wrestle with doubt and distress—but also with divine faithfulness. What will you do with the cross? What will you do with the storm? Will you cower like the cow or rise with the buffalo? Join us in storm chasing with Jesus and discover hope in hardship.

    Ps Rebecca Gibson - "The Jesus Way"

    Play Episode Listen Later Apr 24, 2025 38:35


    What if Jesus coming to this world is more than dying on a cross, what if the idea of salvation was not just about us getting a ticket to heaven but more about lifting the veil on how we are to live here on earth. Jesus came at the time that He did to show people the heart of God and in Jesus' ministry we see there is a real shift in focus from external action to having a true heart transformation. The Jesus way showed us, love, compassion, humility, forgiveness, generosity, integrity, truth, peace, patience and faithfulness to God.

    Ps Harry de Vries - "Let's Pray More"

    Play Episode Listen Later Apr 16, 2025 32:38


    From the very first verse, Psalm 65 makes it clear: “Praise awaits you, our God, in Zion; to you our vows will be fulfilled. You who answer prayer, to you all people will come.” – Psalm 65:1–2 (NIV) This passage highlights a foundational truth: God listens. Prayer is not just a spiritual ritual—it's a real conversation with the God who answers. Psalm 65 reminds us that: God hears us when we pray, God forgives us even when we fall short and God provides for us, both spiritually and physically.

    Ps Harry de Vries - "The Power of Testimony"

    Play Episode Listen Later Apr 10, 2025 21:40


    Long before he was thrown into the lions' den, Daniel had already won the respect of King Darius through the character of his testimony. Scripture tells us that Daniel was “distinguished above the governors and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him” (Daniel 6:3 NKJV). Darius saw in Daniel a man who was honest, wise, and deeply committed to something beyond politics—his God, Daniel's lifestyle showed a power of testimony to the faithfulness of God.

    Kristy Brereton - "Hear and Obey God's Call"

    Play Episode Listen Later Apr 1, 2025 29:20


    Throughout Scripture, we see a divine rhythm—God calls, and His people respond. Genesis 22 illustrates this beautifully as Abraham hears God's voice, answers, and takes action. This sermon unpacks how God calls our name, invites us into deeper faith, and leads us through life's challenges with purpose and always with His presence and divine grace.

    Nicholas Van Deventer - "The Power of Words"

    Play Episode Listen Later Apr 1, 2025 30:30


    Words have the power to build up or tear down, strengthen faith or breed doubt. In Matthew 14:22-32, we see how Peter's words—"Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water"—demonstrated his faith. But his doubt-filled words later caused him to sink. Nicho explores the significance of our words in shaping our faith, relationships, and walk with God.

    Ps Harry de Vries - "Vision 2025 - Worship Jesus He Is More Than A Sunday"

    In 1 Corinthians the Apostle Paul speaks to them about everyone having a roll, a part to play in the kingdom of God.

    Have you ever overheard a conversation and interrupted to give what you thought would be well appreciated information only to discover you had the context all wrong.

    On the 3rd of February 237 years ago under a great tree in what was to be known later as Circular Quay, the very first sermon was preached on Australian soil. The message was by a Minister called Richard Johnson and he spoke from Psalm 116 - "What can I offer the Lord for all that He has done for me" Richard understood the impelling call of God over his life and we all face the challenge of moving forward into our destiny to see that great call fulfilled in our lives so we can bring the Gospel message all across this great nation of Australia.

    The Apostle Paul was in Ephesus when he heard about the church in Corinth and the disunity it was facing from sins that invaded the church that made the church appear like Gentiles.

    In Matthew's Gospel chapter 16, many people were talking about this man called Jesus, who was he, was he Elijah, was he John, was he Elijah. The disciple Peter had a journey in his life that brought him from thinking Jesus was the One who would fix Israel from its predicament in the natural to a revelation that Jesus was truly the Son of God and Israel would have a different kind of salvation. Peter had to learn to let go of the old and believe for the new, Jesus showed Peter this at the Passover where Jesus taught them a new commandment - love one another.

    Even though at times it seems like it's hard to sit and read the word we must be encouraged to be obedient to persist and keep reading because as we read a spiritual transaction takes place. Mark's Gospel shares the story of Jesus healing a blind man and it appears that Jesus couldn't heal the blind man the first time – but when we know God through reading His word we get to see there is more to see in this story and we need to open our eyes to the greater plan of God.
