A heartfelt message that shifts the way we evaluate our year. Instead of measuring success by wins or losses, the sermon invites us to ask a deeper question. Are we okay with God? Drawing from Psalm 139, it calls us to let God search our hearts, uncover the roots beneath our actions, refine what needs to change, and lead us into a life shaped by his presence rather than our performance.

Daniel’s faithfulness in the classroom and dining hall prepared him for the throne room. Once your identity is secure, you can walk into Babylon’s palace with confidence.
Daniel’s faithfulness in the classroom and dining hall prepared him for the throne room. Once your identity is secure, you can walk into Babylon’s palace with confidence.
Babylon’s goal is to reshape identity, but Daniel teaches us how to remain faithful in exile. This week we explore five powerful laws: remember God is sovereign, show up in exile without losing who you are, refuse false labels, honor God in small things, and negotiate faithfully not rebelliously. These principles guide us to thrive in Johannesburg’s modern “Babylon” with integrity and faith.
In Week 6 of If I Was Your Pastor, we are called to press into the culture around us with gospel clarity. The Word of God equips us to bring light where there is darkness, to live faithfully in our communities, and to respond like Jesus when the world pushes back. Discover how to engage culture with conviction, compassion, and clarity.
In Week 4 of If I Was Your Pastor, we are reminded that forgiveness is not optional for followers of Jesus. Forgiving others frees our hearts, heals relationships, and reflects the grace we ourselves have received. Learn how forgiveness breaks the chains of bitterness and opens the way to real freedom.
In Week 3 of If I Was Your Pastor, we are reminded that true growth and transformation come from being rooted in God’s Word. The Bible is not just a book, it is living and active, shaping us to walk in truth and freedom. Learn why staying in Scripture is essential for a strong and lasting faith.
In Week 2 of If I Was Your Pastor, we are challenged to stay faithful to the unique assignments God has given us. Your calling might not look like someone else’s, but it is just as important in His plan. Discover how to serve with consistency, courage, and trust that God is working through your obedience.
Know God and Make Him Known.
Blessings!
In the first message of our new series If I Was Your Pastor, we hear a deeply personal story of rescue, redemption, and radical love.

Know God and Make Him Known.Blessings!
