Heritage Sunday Sermons

Stephen gives testimony in his own defense; and this testimony turns into an accusation against the people of Israel. And as Stephen responds, the lesson is clear even for us: our God is to be obeyed.

God blesses Stephen with an apostolic ministry and opponents rise up against him from every corner of the Roman world. In this instalment of our series in Acts, Pastor Mpumelelo explains the devilish response of the Hellenistic Jews against Stephen's ministry.

The Lord Jesus said the church will be witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and the ends of the earth. So far in Acts, the gospel has gone to Jerusalem and Judea. How will god bring the Gospel to Samaria and the ends of the earth? It begins with division in the church. Pastor Mpumelelo unpacks Acts 6 as we continue our study in Acts.

The Church in Acts is persecuted time and time again. In this latest instance, the apostles are thrown in prison for proclaiming Christ. This leaves us with a few questions. What is persecution? Why is it there? Where does it come from? Pastor Mpumelelelo tackles these questions and more in this instalment of our study in Acts.

The apostles performed many signs and wonders as the church grew. What lessons can we learn from these miracles? Why don't we see them today? Pastor Mpumelelo exhorts us to have confidence in the message of the apostles as it is authenticated by these signs in this installment of our series in Acts.

The frail, poor child born in a lowly manger in a backwater of the Roman Empire is also the Mighty God who has changed everything forever. This Christmas morning Pastor Michael explains the second name of Christ in Isaiah 9.

Isaiah 9 speaks of a coming King Who will turn be the great light. But who is this King? Pastor Michael takes us through the first of His names in verse 6 - Wonderful Counsellor.

The presence of the Spirit of God in us and among us should fill us with covenantal fear. Pastor Mpumelelo takes us through the famous account of Ananias and Sapphira and exhorts us to fear God.

Luke tells us of the remarkable life of the first church of Jerusalem. The love they had for each other was such that not a needy person was found among them in a group of well over 5000. Pastor Mpumelelo takes us through this remarkable passage as we continue our series in the book of Acts.

In the face of opposition, how is the church to respond? The believers in the first church prayed for boldness. Pastor Mpumelelo takes us through this passage in Acts and exhorts the church to pray for the boldness necessary to preach the gospel.
