GC Weekly Sermons

Stan preached on Nehemiah 2, sharing about how we can turn a burden into reality. He shared that if God has placed something in your heart, don’t ignore it - it might be the very thing He’s calling you to build. But it starts with being faithful in the small, everyday things. What do you do when no one is watching matters, because consistency comes before visibility. We must dethrone fear and trust God, allowing courage to move us forward.

Stan explores how God gives each person a unique calling, often revealed through moments that disrupt our comfort and redirect our lives. Like Nehemiah, we must be willing to leave what is familiar, respond to the burdens God places inn our hearts, and trust Him on a non-linear faith journey. Stepping into this calling requires prayer, courage and the willingness to face fears and overcome what holds us back.

Stan took us through the first chapter of Nehemiah, which highlights that before God rebuilds anything, He prepares the person. Nehemiah’s journey began with a deep conviction for God’s people. A true Rebuilder is marked by a holy concern and moved into action through prayer. Furthermore, God positions us for purpose even before the assignment is revealed.

Stan shared about how Jesus was revealed as King at the resurrection.

Lufefe shared on the significance of the Passover and Jesus’ teachings regarding obedience to all that He commanded.

Roy exhorted the church to deepen their intimacy with Jesus and to remain steadfast in their walk as they witness to others.

Julie shared a prophetic message on the power and freedom of encountering Jesus and seeing that power in action.

Paul shared about tithing and generosity, that giving is about the heart. What you value most is shown by where you give. We are called to give cheerfully, knowing everything belongs to God. Tithing is giving your first fruits, putting God first as Lord over your life. Generosity isn’t just money, it includes your time and love. Ultimately, giving is an act of trust, believing that God will provide for you.

Stan shared that kingdom generosity begins with giving to God first, recognising that He is the ultimate source of everything and that we are stewards, and not owners of what we have. We are called to excel in the grace of giving, choosing to worship God rather than money and trusting Him beyond a scarcity mindset. When we give generously, God provides so His work can be accomplished and He receives the glory.

Stan shared that generosity is ultimately a condition of the heart, reflecting the truth that we naturally worship what we value; for where your treasure is, your heart will be also.
