On Easter Sunday, Andrew spoke from John's Gospel chapter 20.  Doubting Thomas should perhaps better be described as "Honest Thomas" because he honestly expressed his doubts but when confronted with the risen Christ he fell on his knees and worshipped!

Honest Thomas - Easter Sunday

It was a great joy to welcome John, Mthokozisi, Babatunde and Musa as they spoke from Luke 24:36-48.  Reflecting on the call to be witnesses to the nations, they spoke of how the disciples had been called "fishers of men" - given the task to preach repentance and forgiveness to all nations because Jesus has died and has risen. Mathilda  added a reflection about how we need to start with our own hearts before we can go out to share with others, empowered by the Holy Spirit.

Jesus Appears To The Disciples Sunday 14 April

On Sunday 19 January, Ruth spoke from Psalm 36 and John 2:1-11  on the theme of "Filled to Overflowing" - God gives generously to us.  He pours His blessings into our lives (just like the stone water jars in the story of the Wedding at Cana) and as we use our gifts to bless others (1 Corinthians 12) so He turns that ordinary "water" into something extra-ordinary.  Here's what Ruth had to say and also a taste of our choir singing "New Wine".

On Sunday 16 February, Ruth shared from Jeremiah 17 about what it means to be planted like a tree by a stream: to be rooted, nourished and flourishing (blessed).

Confident Faith - Sunday 16 February

On the first Sunday in Lent, Vuyo spoke about the Temptation of Jesus for 40 days in the Wilderness and challenged us to "look up" - resisting temptation with God's help.

The Temptation of Jesus - Sunday 9 March

Sharing the story of the Transfiguration of Jesus, Andrew challenged us to "seek His face".  When all is stripped away, is Jesus enough?  Do we see His glory and listen to Him?

The Transfiguration - Sunday 16 March

On Palm Sunday, Talinda Mwalola spoke from Luke 19: 28 - 40 about Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem riding on a donkey.   "The Pharisees asked Jesus to tell His disciples to shut and up stop praising Him.  Jesus told them 'Even if they stop, the stones will praise me.'  This was the time for all the prophecies about Jesus to come to pass."

On Sunday 27 April, Andrew, Ruth and Matthew shared from John 20 about the disciples in the upper room.  Into their fear, confusion and doubt, the risen Jesus brought peace.  He called Thomas to stop doubting and believe and re-commissioned his disciples to go in the power of the Spirit, forgiving others as they have been forgiven.  Our response with Thomas is to say, "My Lord and My God".

Sunday 27 April - in the Upper Room

On Sunday 24 August, Ruth shared from Luke 13:10-17 and Isaiah 58 about the kind of lives God calls us to live.  True religion is not hypocrisy; it is about living what we believe.  Loving God and loving others.  Not just going through the motions.

True Religion (Isaiah 58)

What a powerful message we enjoyed on Sunday 14 September. Speaking from Luke 15, Vuyo reminded us that Jesus is the "friend of sinners".   It is not the healthy that need a doctor, but those who are sick - God's grace is beautiful because it meets us where we are and transforms us.  We are no longer slaves to sin but we have become children of God because of what Jesus has done for us!

Sinners Welcome Here
