Sun 15 June - The God Of Much More - More Than Conquerors(Ps. Ryan de Klerk) by Pastor Ryan & Ronelle De Klerk
The life of a disciple is marked not by ease, but by endurance. Psalm 129 reminds us that perseverance isn't just necessary it's sacred. From Egypt to exile, Israel's survival was a testimony of God's faithfulness, not their strength. This Sunday, Pastor Ryan painted a vivid picture of the pilgrim's journey: one scarred by pain, but held together by hope.Ā Through affliction, we're shaped and reminded that victory often looks like survival. Our perseverance is rooted in trusting the Lord's justice, not taking matters into our own hands.Ā This is the invitation: to endure with joy, to let scars speak of triumph, and to live as people deeply rooted in Christ.Ā
The life of a leader is defined not by charisma, but by obedience. Obedience isn't about creativity it's about clarity. God's commands are not suggestions, and partial obedience is still disobedience. This Sunday, Pastor Ryan challenged us to examine the posture of our hearts: Are we obeying fully, or are we crafting spiritual excuses to justify our resistance? From King Saul's downfall to our own daily decisions, we see this truth: obedience reveals trust. And trust is tested most when the cost is high, when consequences are delayed, or when people might be disappointed. But obedience to God will always lead to a life that's blessed, even if it's misunderstood. This is the invitation: to fear God more than people, to obey Him in the small things, and to finish well. Because obedience now builds a legacy of faithfulness later. And it's the soft, unseen āyesā behind closed doors that keeps our hearts tender toward God.
When most people hear the word ābaptism,ā they think of water. But what if that's only part of the story? In this message, Pastor Ryan unpacks the three baptisms revealed in Scripture and why each one is essential for every believer. This isn't just theology; it's a powerful look at how God works through all three to bring full transformation. Don't miss this eye-opening message that might just shift how you see your walk with God.Scriptures referenced in this message:Ā· Luke 22:41ā43Ā· Isaiah 53:3ā6Ā· Acts 2:37ā39Ā· Luke 3:3Ā· Romans 2:4Ā· 1 John 1:9Ā· Romans 6:12ā13Ā· Acts 19:1ā7Learn more about salvation, info about Destiny Church, or how to give by visiting our website.Real | Relevant | Relationship

In this powerful message, we're challenged to examine our spiritual lives through the lens of Lazarus' resurrection. The story in John 11 isn't just about physical resurrection, but spiritual rebirth and freedom. We're asked to consider: are we truly living in the fullness of our faith, or are we still bound by our 'grave clothes'? These grave clothes represent sins we can't leave behind, hurts we've received, or lies we've believed. The message reminds us that Jesus not only brings us to life spiritually but desires to set us free from these lingering bondages. We're encouraged to identify our own grave clothes and seek God's help in removing them, emphasizing that true freedom comes not just from being saved, but from fully embracing the new life Christ offers.
