At FaithPoint Church Tlhabane, Pastor Tsholo teaches that love is under attack and is diminishing in the hearts of people as the world introduces standards that move us away from God's love. She emphasises that love is essential to the functioning of the church and that we must examine our relationships and never take the people God places in our lives for granted. Through Romans 12:2, she explains that our minds must be renewed through the Word of God so that we can grow in love. She concludes that we owe one another love and should not build our lives around feelings, but practise the enduring love described in 1 Corinthians 13:3–8.

Every great thing requires a battle, and if something great is going to be born, a great storm may need to pass. In this message, Apostle Ken encourages us not to give up when life becomes difficult, but to trust God through every season. Jesus invites the weary to come to Him and find rest (Matthew 11:28), and the Lord is a warrior who fights for His people (Exodus 15:3).

Apostle Ken reminds us that the church must be a place of love, joy, friendship, family and holiness, where people who arrive carrying emotional and physical wounds find comfort, healing and restoration. He also challenges us to guard our minds, because if we are defeated in our minds, it can affect every area of our lives. We must allow God to renew our thinking and refuse to let negative thoughts control us.

Finally, Apostle Ken urges us to break destructive patterns from our background and history through intentional choices, because our past does not have to determine our future.

Tune in to be encouraged, equipped and ready to stand firm in the battle.

At FaithPoint Church Tlhabane, Pastor Tsholo Makopo teaches that entering a new season begins with restoration to God’s original standard. Through Romans 12:1–2, she explains that true restoration requires the transformation and renewal of the mind. Change addresses what sin has cost humanity, and this transformation is a progressive journey that requires continual growth in God’s Word. Believers must apply the Word of God in their lives and allow the Holy Spirit to work within them. She concludes by encouraging Christians to trust the Holy Spirit, who is greater than any situation or circumstance they may face.

Spiritual warfare is a reality in the Christian life, and the first step to winning it is keeping Christ at the centre. In this message, Apostle Kenneth Makopo reminds us that Jesus said He would build His Church, so we must never take His place in His house. Like John the Baptist, we say, “He must become greater; I must become less” (John 3:30). Our future is in His hands, and nothing can be accomplished without Him.

The devil is aggressive, coming to steal, kill and destroy, and he often targets our areas of weakness. That is why we must understand ourselves, stay spiritually alert, and not be ignorant of the disappointment and betrayal that can come in relationships and in our walk with God. The enemy also uses discouragement and negative thoughts as weapons to weaken our faith.

But we are not helpless. Stand firm, resist the devil in the name of Jesus, and “take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:5). Fill your mind with God’s Word and prayer, and encourage yourself in the Lord, even in difficult seasons.

Our strength is not in ourselves but in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Tune in to learn how to keep Christ at the centre, resist the enemy and guard your mind with the Word of God.

At FaithPoint Church Tlhabane, Pastor Tsholo Makopo teaches that knowing God requires intentional spiritual growth, prayer and personal fellowship with Him. Our relationship with God begins in private, and the more we know Him, the more we experience His grace, favour and power. She emphasises that spiritual growth is not automatic but requires us to take responsibility for our intimacy with God. As we spend time in His presence, we are transformed into His likeness and become a true reflection of His glory to the world.

At FaithPoint Church Tlhabane, Apostle Kenneth Makopo teaches believers to let go of the past and embrace the new things God has prepared for them. He emphasises that ignorance and negative thoughts can hinder spiritual growth, making knowledge of God's Word essential. He explains that our words and prayers are powerful weapons of victory during trials and tribulations. Finally, he encourages believers to meditate on the Word of God daily, trusting in His promises for success, prosperity and victory in life.

The problem is not that you don't have an identity; it's that you're not walking in it. In this message, Pastor Thoyisi reminds us that "if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come" (2 Corinthians 5:17), and your old way of thinking no longer decides what happens to you.

Your history does not define you, and your past is not your full book; God is still writing your story. Like Mephibosheth, restored to the king's table because of a covenant (2 Samuel 9:7–8), God remembers His covenant with you, not your failures. And like Gideon, He calls you mighty even when you feel weak (Judges 6:12). Your identity is not what you feel, but what God says.

Pastor Thoyisi also challenges us to take off the grave clothes (John 11:44), renew our minds (Romans 12:2), and surround ourselves with godly community, so we listen to God's voice above the noise. Stand on these truths: you are the righteousness of God, seated with Christ, more than a conqueror, and truly set free.

Tune in and learn how to reject false labels, speak in agreement with God, and live a life worthy of your calling.

This Sunday at Faithpoint Cape Town, Pastor Sam reminded us that every believer will face seasons of weariness, when the battle feels long, and our strength runs short. Yet Paul, writing from prison, declared that what had happened to him had actually served to advance the gospel (Philippians 1:12). There are no accidents with God; the very things you go through are the things He uses for His glory. You may be "struck down, but not destroyed" (2 Corinthians 4:9).

Like Gideon's men, who were "exhausted yet keeping up the pursuit" (Judges 8:4), your fatigue does not disqualify you. The moment you grow tired, the Holy Spirit comes alongside you and helps you in your weakness (Romans 8:26).

God "gives strength to the weary" (Isaiah 40:29) and will meet every one of your needs according to His glorious riches (Philippians 4:19).

This is not the time to give up. The One who set you on this race will resupply you to finish it!

At FaithPoint Church Tlhabane, Apostle Makopo taught that everyone is created by God for a purpose and is never a mistake. He encouraged believers to fight for the things God has called them to and to seek Him through prayer during difficult times. He explained that discouragement and negative thoughts can become spiritual battles, so we must train our minds through God's Word and the Holy Spirit. He encouraged the church to trust God completely, reject discouraging thoughts and allow Him to bring peace and strength into every situation.

This Sunday at FaithPoint Church CPT, Pastor Tendani shared that souls are precious to God and soul-winning is a matter of life and death: because we are made in His image (Gen 1:26-27), we must love what He loves, and His love was sacrificial as He took our pain on the cross (John 3:16), teaching us to hate sin but love the sinner; God doesn't need numbers — even if you're the only Christian in your family, He can use you, and salvation is not to be gatekept but shared because the harvest is plenty but labourers are few (Luke 10:2, Matt 28:19), requiring our total surrender of career, family and all; if we don't compel people to God (Luke 14:23), sin will compel them, so we must bring them with the right motive — beyond personal blessings — knowing salvation was made free (2 Cor 5:18-19) so no one can boast, and we are already equipped to go and do as Jesus modelled.
