Wat gebeur wanneer God jou roep na iets wat menslik onmoontlik lyk?

In hierdie boodskap deel DB Hauptfleisch die reis van ’n vier jaar lange roeping na Luksemburg, waar God herhaaldelik bevestig het: “Nie deur mag of deur krag nie, maar deur my Gees.”

Uit Psalm 126 hoor ons die uitnodiging om terug te kyk na God se groot dade, maar ook om weer te bid: “Here, doen dit weer.” Die preek roep ons om nie net vir die oes te praat nie, maar daarvoor te bid; nie net te bid nie, maar te saai; en nie net te saai nie, maar bereid te wees om te gaan.

Die wat met trane saai, sal met jubelkrete maai.

Life moves fast, but busyness is not the same as purpose.

In this message, Hennie and Belene Coetzer unpack Ephesians 5 and invite us to “look carefully” at how we walk. Whether in career, singleness, marriage, or family, God is calling us to live intentionally, make wise use of our time, and be shaped by the Holy Spirit instead of pressure, striving, or substitutes.

Singleness is not a waiting room. Marriage is not a checklist. Covenant is not about getting your own needs met. Every season is an invitation to be formed by God, see people the way He sees them, and walk in obedience to His purpose.

Singleness is not a waiting room. Marriage is not a checklist. Covenant is not about getting your own needs met. Every season is an invitation to be formed by God, see people the way He sees them, and walk in obedience to His purpose.

Marriage is not just two people sharing a life — it is a covenant invitation to become one.

In “Two in One,” Heinrich Titus reminds us that meaningful marriage requires leaving, cleaving, listening, remaining, and loving with all our heart, soul, and strength. Just as God is fully present, fully faithful, and fully committed to us, He invites us to become present and faithful in our relationships.

This message is a call to resist fragmented living, fight for attentive space, remain curious about one another, respond with grace and truth, and allow the Holy Spirit to restore covenant love.

There is more for your marriage. Don’t settle.

Die huwelik is nie net twee mense wat saam leef nie; dit is ’n heilige uitnodiging om een te word.

In hierdie boodskap wys Heinrich Titus dat God se droom vir die huwelik begin by verlaat, vaskleef en een word. Maar ware eenheid gebeur nie vanself nie. Dit vra dat ons teen afleiding, seer, selfgerigtheid en die kultuur van “weg-swipe” moet veg.

Een van die grootste geskenke wat ons vir mekaar kan gee, is om werklik te luister: aandagtig, responsief, verbondsgetrou en deur die Heilige Gees bemagtig te word.

God hoor jou hart. En Hy nooi jou om weer te leer luister na Hom én na die mense wat Hy aan jou toevertrou het.

Hoe lyk ’n kerk waar die Heilige Gees regeer?

In Handelinge 2:38–47 sien ons ’n volk wat nie deur menslike wysheid gevorm is nie, maar deur die Gees van God. Hulle was toegewy aan die Skrif, het in ware gemeenskap geleef, saam gebid, brood gebreek en ’n lewende getuienis vir die wêreld geword.

Pinkster herinner ons dat die kerk op sy sterkste is wanneer ons terugkeer na eenvoud: God se Woord, God se teenwoordigheid, God se mense en God se sending.

Ons was nooit bedoel om Jesus alleen te volg nie. Die Gees trek ons nader aan Christus en nader aan mekaar, sodat die wêreld sy liefde, vreugde en krag deur sy mense kan sien.

What happens when the Holy Spirit truly reigns in the church?

In this Pentecost message from Acts 2:38-47, Tiaan Scott reflects on Peter’s sermon, the repentance and baptism of 3,000 people, and the Spirit-formed practices of the early church. The message is a call back to simplicity, Scripture, community, repentance, baptism, and deep dependence on the Holy Spirit.

The church was never meant to be powered by human effort, personality, or strategy. It was born by the Spirit, shaped by the Spirit, and is still invited to live by the Spirit today.

What does it look like to follow Jesus when obedience becomes uncomfortable?

In this sermon from Philemon, Melissa le Roux explores the story of Paul, Philemon, and Onesimus as a picture of gospel-shaped community. Paul appeals in love, Onesimus is sent back not as a slave but as a brother, and Philemon is invited into the costly beauty of forgiveness, reconciliation, and Christlike obedience.

This message calls us to become a people who love deeply, forgive freely, call out God’s purpose in others, and walk the road of Jesus even when it is uncomfortable.

The Christlike way is not always easy — but it is beautiful.

Wat gebeur wanneer gehoorsaamheid aan Jesus ongemaklik raak?

In hierdie preek uit Filemon wys Melissa le Roux hoe Paulus, Filemon en Onesimus vir ons ’n pragtige beeld gee van ’n evangelie-gemeenskap: ’n gemeenskap waar liefde sterker is as beheer, vergifnis sterker as skuld, en roeping sterker as iemand se verlede.

Onesimus was eens as nutteloos gesien, maar deur Christus word hy bruikbaar, geliefd en deel van God se familie. Hierdie boodskap roep ons op om mense te sien soos God hulle sien, om diep lief te hê, maklik te vergewe, en die Christus-gelyke pad te stap — selfs wanneer dit ons ongemaklik maak.

Die pad van Jesus is nie altyd maklik nie.
Maar dit is pragtig.

Jesus is not just another king in the biblical story. He is the fulfilment of the whole story.

Matthew presents Jesus as the greater Cyrus: the King who ends exile, restores God’s presence, and sends His people into the world. But Jesus is greater than Cyrus because He does not merely rule by authority from God — He rules as God.

His kingdom is faithful, compassionate, merciful to rebels, kind to the weak, victorious over death, and gentle enough for children to feel safe near Him.

The call is to believe His reign, trust His commands, repent, be baptized, obey Him, and go into the world as living temples of His presence.

Jesus reigns. Therefore, go.
