“Faithfulness is the foundation of stewardship.”

In this message, Pastor David Grobler continues the series on the “-ness” of the Christian life, focusing on faithfulness. Paul teaches in First Corinthians that what is required of a steward is not success or status — but faithfulness. Everything we have has been entrusted to us by God: our time, relationships, gifts, and responsibilities. Faithfulness is not something we simply claim; it is something found in us over time through consistency, integrity, and reliability. Before God entrusts more, He looks for faithfulness in what we already carry.

A sluggard is habitually lazy. Work is not a result of sin. Instead, God is pleased when we work with a spirit of excellence. Sluggards have excuses, never finish what they start, and are wise in their own eyes. We should be disciplined to plow in season without excuses so that we will not be like a rotating door, busy but not going anywhere. As Christians, we should have the fear of God in us to not be lazy.

“Faith doesn’t wait for clarity — it learns to see differently.”

In this message, Pastor David Grobler teaches that faith is not about physical sight or visible evidence, but about spiritual perception. “I see” is not a statement of circumstance — it’s a declaration of trust in what God has already spoken. This sermon unpacks how believers are called to live from God’s perspective, not their situation. Often God is already at work, but our limitation is not His activity — it’s our vision. Faith learns to see what God sees, even when nothing around us has changed yet. When we live by faith, we stop reacting to what is visible and start responding to what is true. Spiritual sight is formed in obedience, trust, and alignment with God’s Word — not in certainty or control.

“Faith isn’t trusting God when life makes sense — it’s trusting Him when it doesn’t.”

In this message, Pastor David Grobler unpacks the tension of living by faith when God feels silent, justice feels delayed, and circumstances don’t add up. Drawing from the book of Habakkuk, he shows that faith is not denial, hype, or blind optimism — it is deep trust in God’s character when His ways are hidden. Habakkuk brings honest questions to God, and instead of being rebuked, he is invited into a bigger perspective. God does not remove the tension immediately, but He anchors His people in one unchanging truth: “The just shall live by faith.” This sermon challenges the idea that faith means quick answers or immediate relief. Instead, it calls believers to remain rooted in God when life is unresolved and outcomes are unclear.

"You Are Not Being Fixed, You Are Made New"

In this powerful message, Pastor David Grobler unpacks the life-changing truth of the old life versus the new life in Christ. This sermon challenges the idea that Christianity is about self-improvement or behaviour modification, revealing instead that salvation is a complete change of reality, realm, and identity.

Using Scripture, Pastor David explains that the old self is not being repaired, healed, or upgraded — it has passed away. In Christ, you are already a new creation, relocated from darkness into the Kingdom of God. The struggle many believers face is not a lack of effort, but living from an old perspective instead of a new reality. The question isn’t whether you are trying hard enough — the question is whether you are living from who you already are in Christ.

"God sees you — not only when life makes sense, but right where you are."

In this powerful and deeply personal message, Pastor David Grobler unpacks the story of Hagar and Ishmael to remind us that God sees us in our wilderness seasons, our pain, our confusion, and our unanswered questions. Through Hagar’s encounter with the Angel of the Lord, we see that God is not waiting for us to “arrive” before He notices us — He sees us now. This sermon challenges us to confront identity, obedience, and the places we try to run from, while discovering the grace of a God who calls us by name and meets us where we are.

God shapes you slowly… but He moves in your life suddenly.

In this powerful message, Pastor David Grobler teaches how God forms you in hidden seasons long before He brings breakthrough into the open. We often desire the “suddenly” moments — promotion, opportunity, breakthrough, favour — but forget that God prepares us through slow shaping, private battles, and unseen faithfulness. Using the lives of David, Joseph, and Israel, this message reveals that it is the right heart, not talent, that positions you for the door God opens in a moment. The question isn’t whether God can move suddenly — the question is whether your heart is ready when He does.

“Sometimes what feels like comfort is actually what keeps you from seeing God.”

In this profound and confronting message, Pastor David Grobler teaches how comfort, success, and stability can quietly blind us to our need for God. Drawing from Isaiah’s encounter in Isaiah chapters 5 and 6, this sermon reveals how even a prophet can speak about God without truly seeing Him. Pastor David unpacks how Isaiah boldly pronounced judgment on others—until a personal encounter with God shifted his perspective from “woe to you” to “woe is me.” True transformation happens when we stop measuring others and allow God to reveal where we stand before Him. When comfort dies, vision awakens—and grace does the work we cannot do ourselves.

“Your breakthrough begins the moment you refuse to stay who you’ve always been.”

In this powerful message, Pastor David Grobler unpacks the night Jacob wrestled with God at Peniel—a turning point where God confronted the identity that had defined him since birth. Jacob wasn’t fighting for money or survival; he was fighting to stop being Jacob the deceiver and finally become who God intended him to be. God meets Jacob in the struggle, wrestles through his fears, his patterns, and his old identity, and transforms him into Israel. This message reveals that God isn’t intimidated by your history—He steps into it to change you from the inside out.

“The Presence of God doesn’t visit your life casually—your whole life is shaped by how you host it.”

In this profound message, Pastor David Grobler teaches that the presence of God is not simply a feeling or a moment—it is His face (“Panin”), His nearness, His voice, and His transforming power. Many believers seek God’s hands for what He can give, but few seek His face for who He is. Through the stories of Samuel, David, Obed-Edom, and Joshua, Pastor David reveals that the presence of God shapes identity, brings blessing, and releases empowerment. Samuel became Samuel because he grew up sleeping beside the Ark. Obed-Edom’s entire household was blessed for making room for God. Joshua was empowered to lead because he refused to depart from the tabernacle. And David learned—painfully—that the presence of God cannot be handled casually or carelessly.
