Today, Tony de Kock rounds out our Detox series with a reminder to pursue what is eternal, rather than what is merely temporary.

But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. 8 But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.1 Timothy 6: 6 - 7 (NIV)

Using the example of David and Jonathan, today Stephen King talks about the importance of strong, healthy friendships for Believers. This is week 5 of our Detox preaching series.

1 Samuel 23: 1 5 - 18 (NIV)While David was at Horesh in the Desert of Ziph, he learned that Saul had come out to take his life. 16 And Saul’s son Jonathan went to David at Horesh and helped him find strength in God. 17 “Don’t be afraid,” he said. “My father Saul will not lay a hand on you. You will be king over Israel, and I will be second to you. Even my father Saul knows this.” 18 The two of them made a covenant before the Lord. Then Jonathan went home, but David remained at Horesh.

In this week's sermon, Alex Becker continues our Detox series. Preaching from Romans 12, he reminds us that every thing we do, every word we speak, and every decision we make, comes from our thinking. The Lord can - and wants to - renew and detox our minds by changing our thinking.

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is — His good, pleasing and perfect will.Romans 12: 2 (NIV)

In today's preach, Alex Becker reminds us about why, how, and where we go for the sake of the Gospel.

16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”Matthew 26: 16 - 20 (NIV)

In week 3 of our Detox series, Lauren van Breda teaches us that tending our souls is our responsibility. What we do in our private thought lives determines what our public lives will be like.

Proverbs 4: 23 (NIV)

Above all else, guard your heart,
for everything you do flows from it.

In today's sermon, Mauritz Deminey continues preaching in our Detox series. This week, we look at Detoxing our bodies.

Kicking off our Detox preaching series, Dion van Breda teaches that every Believer is in a "race" to become more like Christ, and that we need to throw off the entanglement of sin to run it well.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.Hebrews 12: 1 - 2 (NIV)

Teaching from Hebrews 11: 1 - 2, Dion van Breda reminds us that faith that doesn't act isn't really faith at all. But when our foundation is Jesus, we can stand even when the storms of life rage against us.

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. 2 This is what the ancients were commended for.Hebrews 11: 1 - 2 (NIV)

Dion van Breda teaches from Ephesians 3 this week, and he shares how under the banner of Jesus Christ, Jewish and Gentile believers become one people. As a result, we have the privilege of sharing the Good News of the goodness, love, and mercy of God to all people everywhere.

Ephesians 3: 1 - 6 (NIV)God’s Marvelous Plan for the Gentiles

For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles—

2 Surely you have heard about the administration of God’s grace that was given to me for you, 3 that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly. 4 In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, 5 which was not made known to people in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets. 6 This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.

Continuing our series through the Book of Ephesians, Dion van Breda teaches that God wants us to be dependent on Him, the way that a child is dependent on their human father. Our whole lives need to be built on the foundation of Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 2: 15 - 21 (NIV)His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, 16 and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. 17 He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. 18 For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.

19 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. 21 In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. 22 And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.
