(Matt. 4:18-22); Mark 2:13-14; (Gen. 1:3-29); Matt.19:16-22; Luke 10:25-29; (Luke 10:25-37)

We started two weeks ago and did an introduction about cheap grace and costly grace. Cheap grace appeal to our consciences by lulling us into complacency and making us feel as though we have nothing left to strive for. You are fine as you are. We know the saying ‘God loves you but He loves you too much to leave you as you are’. Cheap grace stops at ‘God loves you as you are’. Cheap grace is keeping the Church back from following Jesus the way He would want us to. Cheap grace is incredibly compelling in the world today because it offers us total acceptance without pointing to the cross of Christ. It is the voice in the back of your head that like to say ‘surely I have given enough’. We like to draw parameters around what God requires of us. (more…)

Sun am 1 February 2015 – Justus Swart

Gen. 3:4 –11; Luke 9:23-24, 57-62; Matt. 4:18-22; (Matt 11:30); Ps. 119:45; (Matt. 13:44-46)

This morning we will be re-visiting the familiar topic spoken about grace. Grace is something that even in the world today is always changing shape, its size, its packaging and keeps on turning into something new, something different as people are trying to appeal to the generations. There seems to be a definite confusion in the global Church when it comes to this topic. Some have ventured very far and very deep into the territory of ‘hyper-grace’ meaning (more…)

Sun am 10 February 2013 – Kobus Swart

Ps. 119:16, 42, 49-50, 57, 67, 72, 74, 89-91, 130; Dan. 2:31-45; (Mark. 1:15); (Rom. 8:22); Rev. 11:15; John 18:36; Rom. 14:7; Matt. 5:3-14, 43-45; Matt. 13:1-2, 10-13, 18-19, 31-33; Luke 17:20-21; (Eph. 3:10)

We sense by the Holy Spirit, a hunger, a thirst and a thrust to becoming a kingdom force in the earth. Church should be more than Sunday programs and conferences. It is about the kingdom of God invading the earth. It is going to be kingdom churches that are going to make the difference.

How will we demonstrate being sons of light? (more…)

Sun am 3 February 2013 – Kobus Swart 

(Col. 1:13); (Matt. 5:13-14); John 1:1-5, 14; (Matt. 16:18-19); John 3:19-21; 

John 8:12; (Rev. 1:12); John 12:35-36; Eph. 5:8, 11; Eph. 6:12;

1 Thess. 5:4-5; 1 John 1:5-8; Matt. 22:37-40; 1 Cor. 13:1-8; John 3:16-20

Long before people look at your face, they feel what is in your spirit; they feel what kind of energy you carry, positive or negative. The spiritual man in us should be charged by God and His word, not by circumstances. What is the first thought that enters your mind when you receive bad news? Why do we mostly expect the worst instead of trusting God? Since we live in a world filled with bad news, we need to know how to handle bad news and still reflect the goodness of God. (more…)

Sun am 27 January 2013 – Kobus Swart

(2 Cor. 12:10); (Matt. 10:8); (James 1:13-15); (James 2:10); 1 Cor. 15:56-57; (John 19:30);

Rom. 8:1-4; (Jude 1:4); John 8:1-11; John 20:21-23; (Gen. 39); (Acts 8 & 9)

Weakness is our introduction to the grace of God (2 Cor. 12:10). When I am weak, then I am strong, because it is no longer my strength but the grace of God that enables and empowers me to do what I could not do because of my weakness. You cannot do anything to earn grace. God’s grace has been given to us freely, and this leaves us with a challenge: freely we have received, now freely give (Matt. 10:8). (more…)

(Ps. 34:8); Eph. 2:4-9 (Msg); 2 Cor. 12:1-10; 2 Cor. 9:8; Matt. 4:4; Matt. 6:25-30; Gal. 6:6-10

taste and see that the Lord is good (Ps. 34:8). There is something hidden in that statement. Taste and then see. When you taste something, you will get the vision. If we major only on the vision and the people do not taste, then they are not going to see. It is not just about the vision, but about the people having tasted it and connecting with it.
