Ash calls the church to a fresh, purpose-filled surrender: healthy believers live like Jesus is returning soon—praying, gathering, giving, and sharing the gospel. Using Antioch (Acts 11–13) as a model, he outlines a healthy “base church”: one that looks like the nations, sounds like Jesus, lives by the Spirit, and reaches beyond itself. Practically: evangelism + discipleship, Spirit-led worship, generous mission, and a weekly prayer push (starting Thursday at the Thatch Hall).

Dan’s message, “Why the Church,” anchors in Matthew 16 at Caesarea Philippi: Jesus builds His Church at the very “gates of hell” to push back darkness. We’re (1) a Jesus people, (2) a mission people, (3) a people people (the “one anothers”), and (4) a presence people—nothing without the Holy Spirit.

In this message from John 1:19–51, we explore a simple, relational way to reach the lost: come and see. John the Baptist points to Jesus; the first disciples spend real time with Him. Andrew brings his brother, and Jesus finds Philip, who brings Nathanael—scepticism and all—until a Spirit-led moment opens his heart. Ash calls us to carry the Great Commandment, the Great Commission, and the Great Infilling, trading complacency for availability. Start where trust already exists, invite people into proximity with Jesus, and expect Him to do “greater things.”

The message also explores how business and leadership intersect with the kingdom of God, drawing on examples from Paul Polman of Unilever, the role of Priscilla and Aquila in the early church, and the transformative efforts of leaders in South Africa’s history. From planting small churches to shaping nations, the call is to build together with shared values and a servant heart.

Stuart preaches about the importance of understanding Christ's nature and work in the context of Christian faith. He discusses how a deep comprehension of Christology can lead to a more profound relationship with God and a more effective witness to others. Stark also explores the practical implications of Christological beliefs in everyday Christian living.

Stuart unpacks Christology, the person, nature and role of Christ. He touches on Jesus' eternal existence, omnipresence, omniscience, omnipotence, and immutability. He also answers some key questions: What are the implications of the divinity of Jesus? What is the significance of His humanity? Why did Jesus have to be fully man and fully God?

Ash walks through the timeline of God’s work from creation to today, exploring Joel 2:28-32 and the meaning of the former and latter rains. He explains how we are now in the season of the latter rain—a time of revival, blessing, and fresh movement of God—reflecting on recent historic moments like the Azusa Street revival.

What does it mean to carry God’s presence into every space we enter? In this message, Ashley Bell unpacks the heart of intimacy with the Holy Spirit and challenges us to move beyond acquaintance to deep friendship with Him. Drawing from scriptures like 2 Corinthians 13:14, Exodus 33:15, and John 14:17, Ash shows how we were never meant to wave at God from a distance but to walk side by side with Him—every moment of every day. Discover why His presence is non-negotiable for our lives and how being truly intimate with the Spirit makes us a redemptive presence in the world.

Ash emphasises living in the fullness of the Spirit rather than settling for limitation. The message emphasises the vital role of worship and musicians in carrying out God’s purposes, drawing on biblical examples such as Jehoshaphat, where worship paved the way to victory. The call is clear: trust God, seek first His kingdom, and step into the flow of His Spirit. When we prioritise His presence and purposes, He provides wisdom, grace, and everything we need for life and godliness.

Ashley Bell unpacks the prophetic warning of Hosea 10:12—how Israel’s blessings became their downfall as abundance led them into idolatry. Drawing on the parable of the soils, Ashley challenges us to examine the condition of our hearts: are we hardened, shallow, distracted, or truly good soil that bears lasting fruit? He explains the danger of leaving our lives like fallow ground—once fertile but now hardened through neglect—and how God calls us to break it open again for His Word to take root. Anchored by the Ten Commandments as God’s plumbline for living, this preach is both a warning and an invitation: to turn from lifeless routines, resist compromise, and return to wholehearted devotion to the Lord.

Pierre unpacks powerful lessons on humility, sanctification, and living fully surrendered to God. Drawing from Scripture, he explores God’s character of holiness, justice, and love, the need to plow hardened ground in our hearts, and the call to radical Christian living without compromise.

Paul Edy explores what it means to be a community shaped by God's mercy. Drawing from Romans 12, he unpacks how theology must move beyond knowledge into transformed living—marked by sacrifice, servanthood, and surrender. With a call to live counter-culturally and reflect kingdom values, this message challenges us to fall on the mercy of Jesus and become a community that overcomes evil with good.

Gareth Stark unpacks the biblical concept of Babylon as a cultural system that opposes the kingdom of God. He highlights the subtle ways believers may fall into patterns of hurry, isolation, and fear, driven by radical individualism. Calling the church to resist these influences, Gareth emphasises the importance of intentional community, vulnerability, and accountability in spiritual formation.

In this preach, Trevor Hartley urges the congregation to put God first, echoing the calls of prophets like Haggai and Zechariah. He challenges the culture of busyness and fear, reminding the church that God desires fruitfulness, not just productivity.

As churches work together in areas like education and business, Trevor declares that a powerful revival is coming—one marked by surrendered hearts and a unified mission.

In this powerful sermon, Trevor Hartley shares a message drawn from the book of Haggai, calling the people to reflect on their priorities and return to God's purpose. Using the story of Israel’s return to Jerusalem, he highlights the consequences of neglecting the Lord’s house while chasing personal comfort, and how this leads to unfruitfulness. Trevor contrasts the pace of productivity with the pace of God’s presence, urging believers to slow down, listen to God’s voice, and live from a place of peace and purpose. He challenges the church to reject a transactional faith and embrace a deeper walk with Christ, rooted in community and communion.

Dylan Jahnig from Linc church in Ballito shared this timely message on unblocking wells of spiritual growth in our lives. He uses the analogy of digging a borehole, you dig down for a long time, finding nothing before eventually finding an abundance of water. Through this message, Dyl encourages us not to give up. We might want to tap out and say that we're done God. The good news is that God isn't done with us.
