GracehouseGracehouseRemembering what the Lord has DoneAs Gracehouse celebrates its 5th birthday we remember some of the lessons that God has taught us over the years.2024-07-3035 minGracehouseGracehouseLessons from my Bumpy JourneyOn Sunday pastor Theunis preached his last sermon as a pastor at Gracehouse. In this sermon he shared some of the key lessons that he learnt over the last 4 years of pastoring. Tune in to be stirred about the unshakable goodness of God.2023-05-2844 minGracehouseGracehouseThe Practical Christian - Delighting in God's WordThis week in our “The Practical Christian” series we take a look at delighting in God’s word. Pastor Tim Neale unpacks the book of Philemon while giving us very useful tools for engaging with scripture in a meaningful way. We trust that brand new Bible readers and long time students will alike be richly blessed.2022-05-0156 minGracehouseGracehouseHusbands & WivesThe Apostle Peter had a lot of important wisdom for married couples. Unfortunately, much of his instruction has been misunderstood over the ages, and this has resulted in much harm. This week we take a look at Peter’s words within their context and in light of Christ’s beautiful kingdom ideal for marriage.2022-04-2453 minGracehouseGracehouseThe Lord is our PortionWhat does it mean when we say that the Lord is our portion? It’s one of those expressions that we often use but many don’t understand the full richness of its meaning. Check out this sermon as we discover that the Lord is all we need.2022-04-1036 minGracehouseGracehouseJesus' Example Heals the WorldWhy does Peter insist on submission and non-retaliation? In this difficult passage we see that Peter is not prescribing how society should be but describing how Christians should respond to unjust suffering. Just as Jesus suffering brought healing to us. So our suffering, if done rightly, can bring healing to others.2022-04-0329 minGracehouseGracehouseHonouring AuthoritiesGod asks us to honour our authorities for his name's sake. It's not a matter of whether we like them, support them, or will gain any personal benefit from them. In fact, it's when we choose to honour, in the face of great evil and injustice, that the power of the gospel is truly put on display and people will come to know Jesus as Lord.2022-03-2853 minGracehouseGracehouseGod is Building His TempleIn this week's sermon we continue our series in 1 Peter. We find out that God is building himself a temple but not with rock or human effort. He's building his temple with us... as living stones.2022-03-2037 minGracehouseGracehouseThe Practical Christian - Stewardship & GenerosityWant to learn more about how to practically live out your Christian faith as it relates Stewardship and Generosity? Check out this week’s sermon and Q&A2022-03-131h 07GracehouseGracehouseBe Sober-minded and Ready for ActionThis week we continue our series in 1 Peter where Peter turns his attention to helping shape the way God’s family is suppose to live while strangers in the world. How should we view ourselves? How should we view our suffering? Where should we set our ultimate hope?2022-03-0647 minGracehouseGracehouseDo You Realise the Moment We're Living In?Sometimes we take Jesus for granted. But did you know there was a time that God's people had no idea who the Messiah would be and longed for the day that they would see Him? We live in that time now. We have the blessing of knowing Jesus. We have the blessing of having His Holy Spirit with us. We have the blessing of seeing his kingdom break into the earth even in our day.2022-02-2032 minGracehouseGracehouseWill I Stand in the Gap?Intercession, the act of standing between, is an instrument available to every believer, and which houses the ability to create change.2022-02-1342 minGracehouseGracehouseHope for Suffering ExilesAs Christian we are exiles in this world. Our way of life is at odds with the culture that surrounds us. In the midst of the darkness, we are called to standout as shining lights. And to hold fast to the hope and joy that we have even in Jesus Christ, even if it is costly. In the end it will all be worth it when we receive the fullness of our salvation.2022-02-0651 minGracehouseGracehouseLove Over EverythingThere are so many good things that we can prioritise in church life. But for Paul there is one clear winner. The one thing that, if it is missing, makes everything else worthless.  And that is love. A church that doesn't prioritise love can do many good things, but those things will never last without love.2022-01-3137 minGracehouseGracehouseRomans 8In one of the most beloved passages of Scripture, Paul emphasises the faithfulness of God through his provision of the Holy Spirit to meet our greatest needs on this side of eternity. This gives us with much-needed encouragement during times of disorientation, discouragement, and difficulty.2022-01-2333 minGracehouseGracehouseDo Not FearFear and faith cannot coexist. One always destroys the other. God has invited us into a life free of fear, by asking us to trust in the greatness of his love for us.2022-01-1641 minGracehouseGracehouseThe Trustworthy ArtistGod is an artist who delights in creating beauty. The earth is jam- packed with the evidence. Would you dare to believe that he wants to make something beautiful out of your life as well?2022-01-0938 minGracehouseGracehouseGoing Through a Crisis of FaithWhen we stop to consider all of the enigmas of life, it can sometimes become overwhelming to the point that it can even threaten our faith. And our tendency to either embrace a form of religion that ignores the difficult realities of the world, or a hedonistic lifestyle that rejects the faith, only perpetuates the issue. However, the Book of Ecclesiastes is a gold mine of wisdom for those who are struggling to reconcile their faith with all the paradoxes of the world around them. Tune in this week to discover what the Book of Ecclesiastes has to say...2022-01-0246 minGracehouseGracehouseHumanising our Heroes and Elevating the NeglectedThe Christian tradition has tended to take sides when comes to the story of Abraham, Sarah, Hagar, Ishmael and Isaac, with the family of promise (Abraham, Sarah and Isaac) being labelled the heroes and the pre-emptive family (Hagar and Ishmael) considered to be the villains. But the reality is that Sarah was particularly oppressive towards Hagar and Ishmael. Despite the vicious family feud, God was unwavering in his faithfulness to both families, proving his commitment towards global restorative blessing.2021-12-261h 04Rays Of HopeRays Of HopeARISE, I SAY ARISE!Inspiring a Message of Hope in your Heart2021-12-2003 minRays Of HopeRays Of HopeLOVE YOURSELF!Inspiring a Message of Hope in your Heart2021-12-1305 minGracehouseGracehouseThe Story and Meaning of JobThe Joban drama is a story that is just as popular as it is intense. In fact, it could be said that its popularity stems from its intensity, since so many people can relate to the experience of suffering and the emotion of grief. As we take up the book, we can’t help but ask the questions, “why do we suffer”, “how does good and evil coexist”, and “does God care”? But in and around the ash heap of despair, there lies a profound lesson which is applicable to all audiences. This week’s sermon is available online now.2021-12-1256 minGracehouseGracehouseWhen Walking Through a ValleyIn ministry and in life we can go through valley or wilderness seasons. Times when the Fathers voice seems far off. What do we do then? It's times like this that we need to "remember" the Lord.2021-12-0522 minRays Of HopeRays Of HopeWONDERFULLY MADEInspiring a Message of Hope in your Heart!2021-11-2910 minGracehouseGracehouseTrue Love is True HolinessThe scriptures call us to be holy as God is holy. But what does that look like? How can we learn to walk in holiness? The answer is we learn to walk in love. The very love the God shows us.2021-11-2837 minGracehouseGracehouseThe Father Wants to Bless YouThe heart of God is the heart of a good father. And a good father finds special delight in blessing his children. Would you dare to believe that God wants to abundantly bless you as his child?2021-11-2145 minGracehouseGracehouseIn Troubled Times Look for What God Is GoingGod is always at work. Especially in troubled times. As kingdom people who trust in the Lord we need to keep our eyes on Jesus and ask ourselves...  how is God working in this?2021-11-1633 minGracehouseGracehouseResting in HopeJesus offers us unshakable hope. When the world is crumbling all around us he is able to keep our souls at rest. Abiding in this hope is critical for our souls in troubling times.2021-11-0743 minRays Of HopeRays Of HopeVOICES OF HOPEInspiring a Message of Hope in your Heart.2021-11-0110 minRays Of HopeRays Of HopeTHE DREAM PICTUREInspiring a Message of Hope in Your Heart!2021-10-2513 minGracehouseGracehouseLife In The ‘Womb’Life as we know it involves many difficulties and challenges, and if we have unrealistic expectations of how easy life ought to be, we will get deeply discouraged. But if we come to see that the world is undergoing a birthing process, and that God will eventually bring it to its right end, we can learn to trust him in the difficulty and partner with him in the work he is doing.2021-10-2447 minGracehouseGracehouseYield to the SpiritWe are daily faced with the question of whether we will try to live independently from God or yield to his Spirit. The road of independence makes us feel more in control, but it is ultimately lifeless. The only way to truly experience the full beauty of his kingdom is via the path of daily yielding to the desires of the Spirit.2021-10-1734 minRays Of HopeRays Of HopeHOPEFUL IN WEAKNESSInspiring a Message of Hope in Your Heart!2021-10-1113 minGracehouseGracehouseConsecrationThere are all kinds of people in church.

But the scripture teaches us that what we need for true life is far more than bread and water. We need the source of life... Jesus.2021-09-2630 minRays Of HopeRays Of HopeYOU WILL SPROUT AGAIN (2)Inspiring a Message of Hope in your Heart2021-09-2013 minGracehouseGracehouseA Community of Christ-MimesMany of us already have at least some idea about what it means to know someone. When applied to Jesus, Paul seems to refer to “knowing Christ” as a full-orbed term which has many layers and summarises the Christian experience. And when we think of “knowing Jesus”, we tend to personalise it to the individual. Yet, when Paul uses the term, he seems to think that it’s a community affair. What exactly does it mean to “know Christ”?2021-09-1947 minRays Of HopeRays Of HopeYOU WILL SPROUT AGAIN!Inspiring a Message of Hope in your heart2021-09-1313 minGracehouseGracehouseThe Dangers of DivisivenessUnity is very dear to the heart of God and is critical for the church’s mission on earth. Hence, we must be careful to pursue love and resist all forms of divisiveness. Without this we will never be able to experience the fullness that Jesus has promised for his church.2021-09-1246 minGracehouseGracehouseKingdom CommunityWe live during a time where people are yearning for authentic community. A place where relationships go beyond shallow interactions into deeper territory; where people remain connected and committed despite all the drama attached to being sinful individuals; and where we’re fully known and yet, fully loved.    According to John, this can only happen in a community grounded in Christ, which stands on the foundation of God’s love. As hard as this community project may be, when we’re faithful to God’s call to doing community well, there’s a unique promise that we will experie...2021-09-0549 minGracehouseGracehouseUnity without ConformityThe church has always had issues that threaten to divide her. But how do we act in love and unify with one another when we strongly disagree with each other. Paul the Apostle helps us to think these issues through.2021-08-2946 minRays Of HopeRays Of HopeINTRODUCING RAYS OF HOPEBasically in a world and a time when it's so easy to throwbin the towel, we desire to bring 10 to 15 mins words of encouragement your way to possiblly keep you going.2021-08-2601 minGracehouseGracehouseRemember That We Are DisciplesThere are so many things in this world trying to shape our identity.  As Christians we need to remember we are first and foremost disciples of Jesus.2021-08-1529 minGracehouseGracehouseA Christian Response to Difficult TimesHow should a Christian respond to what is happening in the world? While there are many sides to that question, and many different opinions fighting for our allegiance, the Scriptures provide us with one answer that we can easily forget. But it is important that we are clear about it if we are to respond in a distinctly ‘Christian’ way.2021-08-0835 minGracehouseGracehouseWho do You Say That I am?Most people have an opinion about Jesus. Maybe he's a good teacher, perhaps even a prophet. But for the Christian, we know him as Saviour and Lord. And this belief has a dramatic effect on how we live our lives.2021-08-0139 minGracehouseGracehouseA Change in SeasonThe book of Ecclesiastes says that there is a time and season for everything. We believe Gracehouse is entering into a new season of purpose building on the season before. This week we talk about what that looks like as well as some of the challenges we might face along the way.2021-07-2548 minGracehouseGracehouseRemembering the Faithfulness of GodOn this, our second birthday, we take some time to remember and reflect on just some of the ways which God has been faithful to us. By remembering the past faithfulness of God, we are able to look forward in faith to the future of what God has for us.2021-07-1823 minGracehouseGracehouseAn Encouragement from PaulNo Christian is immune to hard times. Times of struggle and times of confusion. Paul the Apostle gives us an encouragement for times like these.2021-07-1140 minGracehouseGracehouseFoundations: How to Grow as a ChristianSo you've come to faith in Jesus... Now what? This week we talk about how to grow as a Christian. The goal being to look more and more like Jesus.2021-07-0445 minGracehouseGracehouseFoundations: What is the Bible?This week we talk a little about the Bible and how we got it. The Bible has always been important to Christians because in it we learn about Jesus and his way of salvation.2021-06-2148 minGracehouseGracehouseThe Character of GodWhat is God like? While many people choose to ‘believe in God’, that doesn’t necessarily mean that they always have the correct picture of His character, heart, desires and intentions.    A question we might want to ask is, ‘How would God choose to describe himself?’ In this message, we explore an ancient song to learn about God’s character, and what being in relationship with Him looks like.2021-06-1350 minGracehouseGracehouseFoundations: What is Church?Is church something we go to?  Or is it something we are? This week we talk about what the church is and how we are to understand ourselves as the church.2021-06-061h 07GracehouseGracehouseFoundations: What is Baptism?Going back to basics this week we ask ourselves the questions. Why are Christians baptised? Does it really matter and what does it do?2021-05-2343 minGracehouseGracehouseFoundations: What is the Gospel?We're going back to basics over the next few weeks.  This week we ask ourselves; What is the Gospel?  And how do I become a Christian?2021-05-1648 minGracehouseGracehouseFaithfulness is RewardedThere are times when our faith can be discouraged by obstacles and difficulties in the world. But God rewards faithfulness. Whether you've been given a little or been given a lot. God is looking for a people who are faithful stewards of the gifts he's given.2021-05-091h 00GracehouseGracehouseLearning to live with King JesusWhen we come to Jesus for salvation it's not just about getting into heaven. We are saved from a kingdom of darkness into a kingdom of light. And that means we need to learn to live in a different way. Jesus is our model and the Holy Spirit helps us to learn his ways.2021-05-0253 minGracehouseGracehouseTruth and GodlinessOf all the things you can know about the world there is only one truth that really matters. The truth that leads to godliness. Knowing Jesus is that truth and it changes everything in your world.2021-04-2555 minGracehouseGracehouseStriving for UnityThe Apostle Paul says to the Ephesians that they should strive for unity with one another. In today's church we have all sorts of divisions cultural, ethnic, and theological.  What are we to make of Paul's command to strive for unity?2021-04-1844 minGracehouseGracehouseA Heart That’s Not JudgmentalOur world is filled with harsh criticism that condemns, devalues, belittles and divides. But worse than this is the realisation that this kind of judging happens in the church - even in our own hearts! But Jesus shows us a better way. A way of love, humility, gentleness, and no hypocrisy. It’s time to take the logs out of our eyes so that we can see clearly.2021-04-1153 minLife In The Word with Pastor Chuks OzaborLife In The Word with Pastor Chuks Ozabor21 Irrevocable Laws of Success 2"Every highflyer in the kingdom engages kingdom laws for success" - Pastor Chuks Ozabor.2021-04-0722 minGracehouseGracehouseResurrection HopeWe often talk about the cross and how central it is to the Christian faith. Just as essential however is the resurrection and the hope that it provides. No situation is too far gone. No sin too big for the power of the resurrection.2021-04-0431 minGracehouseGracehouseExperiencing SalvationComing to the Lord and receiving salvation is a profound experience. Too often though we settle for a 'future' salvation rather than a salvation that begins to take place here and now. God's desire is to not only forgive our sins but to release us from the bondage and heal the effects of sin as well. Not only in your life but in the lives of everyone you meet.2021-03-2846 minGracehouseGracehouseThe Father Delights in YouDo you know that your Father in heaven actually loves you... for you? That he truly enjoys you? That he watches over you with pride in his heart? In fact, the Bible reveals to us that he loves us with the very same love that he has for Jesus.2021-03-2157 minLife In The Word with Pastor Chuks OzaborLife In The Word with Pastor Chuks Ozabor21 Irrevocable Laws of Success 1Engaging Biblical principles for a life of distinction.2021-03-1946 minGracehouseGracehouseA Community that Knows the Father’s LoveJesus said that the glorious revelation of his Father’s matchless love would bring about perfect oneness in his church, and the great harvest of the lost. Knowing the Father’s love changes everything.2021-03-1452 minGracehouseGracehouseHumility and the Mind of ChristThere are so many ideas competing to shape the way that we as Christians think about everything. We know however that we are called to live lives as image bearers of God and no longer be conformed to the ways of the world. In Jesus we see the humility of God on display. As we behold the glory of His character on the cross we should be transformed by that image. What does it look like to renew our minds in light of God's humility?  2021-03-0750 minLife In The Word with Pastor Chuks OzaborLife In The Word with Pastor Chuks OzaborRestoration 3The concluding episode of the "Restoration" series by Pastor Chuks Ozabor.2021-03-0231 minGracehouseGracehousePay Attention to What You HearThe voice of the Lord can easily get lost in the static noise of life.

He proved once and for all that selfless love and humble service are an unstoppable force.    The church needs to unlearn the ways of the world and come back to the wisdom of the cross.2021-02-0756 minLife In The Word with Pastor Chuks OzaborLife In The Word with Pastor Chuks OzaborA winning lifestyle 3... but in everything, by prayer and supplication...

The more we embrace our own insufficiency and rely upon the sufficiency of Jesus, the more we experience the grace of his resurrection power. The confidence of the clay jar doesn’t come from itself — it comes from the matchless treasure of Christ who dwells within.2021-01-2455 minGracehouseGracehouseConsecrate YourselvesConsecration is essential for the church! Without consecration we cannot host the presence of God, and all our efforts will be empty and powerless. But how can we consecrate ourselves without falling back into striving and works? The answer is grace!2021-01-0341 minGracehouseGracehouseThe Faithful Love of GodGod’s faithfulness is entirely reliable. He provides for us in the valleys. He pursues us in our rebellion. He protects us from our enemies. He carries us when we are weak. Take time to remember the faithfulness of God towards you. Just as he was faithful yesterday, he will be faithful tomorrow.2020-12-2751 minGracehouseGracehouseRethinking the MissionWhere the presence of God is, dead things come to life, freedom breaks forth and darkness is driven back. To host his presence, to walk in a closeness with him that refuses to move unless he does, this is the heart and soul of our mission from which every other instruction of God springs to life. If we are to reign on this earth as kings and queens, we must first learn to be his priests.2020-11-2951 minGracehouseGracehouseThe Jealous Love of GodLike a groom passionately pursuing his bride, God’s relentless love for us will stop at nothing until every part of our heart is overcome with an intimate and overwhelming affection for Him. His love is a jealous love which protects that which is precious to Him, and will rise up against that which harms his beloved. Theunis Pretorius | 22nd November 2020 2020-11-2245 minGracehouseGracehouseFor Those Wholeheartedly Devoted to Him"For the eyes of the Lord roam throughout the earth to show himself strong for those who are wholeheartedly devoted to him." - 2 Chronicles 16:9  | Patrick McConnell 8th November 20202020-11-1544 minGracehouseGracehouseThe Key of DavidHe is so good, so beautiful, so wonderful that in him we find the satisfaction of every longing and desire of our soul. This is the birthplace of worship. Jesus' heart is for his church, his bride, to dwell in his presence because she knows and experiences his beautiful heart of love for her. When we understand this, we don't pursue Jesus as a means to some greater treasure, but as the great treasure in and of himself.2020-11-0846 minGracehouseGracehouseGod of HopeGod is not the author of our suffering; he is our refuge in it. Don’t let the lies of the enemy shake you from the victorious hope that we have when suffering surrounds us: Through it all God is good, he is for you, he is with you, he loves you more than you could ever know.2020-11-0149 minGracehouseGracehouseResting in the Care of GodJesus explains clearly to us the true root of all anxiety: lacking confidence in goodness of God. When we observe how faithful he is to the lilies of the field and the birds of the air, we ought to realise how abundantly more so he is to you and I, his beloved children who his Son died for. Let every fear and anxiety wash away as we rest in the care of our good Father.2020-10-1846 minGracehouseGracehouseEyes of LoveEyes that see the unsurpassable worth in others, that see every person for who they are beneath their brokenness and sin, and see every person as casualties of a cruel and demonic assault of the enemy - this is what the eyes of Jesus looked like, and it is what he calls his church to.2020-10-1139 minGracehouseGracehouseWhat is the Gospel?The Gospel is the story of Jesus Christ. It is a beautiful tapestry of infinite colours of implication centred around the one great truth that Jesus Christ is King. In this story we find the good news of forgiveness of sins, the good news of the new covenant, the good news of healing, the good news of freedom from our bondages, the good news of power over evil forces, the good news of social justice, and so many more wonderful things that bring us to our knees in grateful worship. But the Gospel itself is not any one of...2020-10-0438 minGracehouseGracehouseThe Church Needs You"From him the whole body, fitted and knit together by every supporting ligament, promotes the growth of the body for building itself up in love by the proper working of each individual part." - Ephesians 4:16 Theunis Pretorius | 27th September 20202020-09-2738 minGracehouseGracehouseLeading in the Kingdom1) Godly leaders understand that greatness is about servant heartedness. 2) Godly leaders don’t find their worth, significance, identity or security in being leaders. 3) Godly leaders do not make use of control, manipulation or domination in order to lead. 4) Godly leadership is focused on raising others up, and is not intimidated by their gifting, anointing and calling.   But most importantly: Godly leadership looks like Jesus.    Theunis Pretorius | 20th September 2020 2020-09-2048 minGracehouseGracehousePrepare for WarThe Kingdom of Jesus Christ has a doctrine of warfare: armoured in humility and lowliness, we bless those who persecute us, we turn the other cheek, we give the thief our cloak also, we overcome evil by doing good. Satan will do all he can to lure us into the strategies of worldly warfare - carnal weapons, poisonous tongues and worldly systems of power - against which he knows he can secure the victory; for against Kingdom weapons he is a defeated foe! So keep your eyes fixed on true righteousness, and conquer Rome with love, kindness, compassion, good...2020-09-1343 minGracehouseGracehouseThe Wind is HereThere is a new wind, a hurricane, a visitation of the Lord in our midst! The Spirit has been powerfully at work revealing, affirming and guiding us in the face of this new era through prophetic signs and spiritual words. But at the absolute core of this work is an earnest cry from the heart of God: cultivate the oil of intimacy! Jesus wants a bride that knows and experiences the depth of his love; who is in such close communion with him that the inner place of prayer is their sanctuary and his presence their truest delight. But...2020-09-0654 minGracehouseGracehouseThe Bridal ParadigmGod has always wanted a bride to reign with his son. Jesus has pledged his life to his church in a covenant of marriage. He is the glorious bridegroom and the church his betrothed bride. His love is unconditional and he is inviting us deeper into the transformational experience of intimacy. As the church is currently being beautified she is being prepared for the great marriage supper of the lamb. One day she will be able to reign with her groom for all eternity in the beauty of his splendour.   Theunis Pretorius | 30th August 20202020-09-0344 minGracehouseGracehouseOnly Two Entered InThe church is standing on the precipice of something new, something great, a brand new age! He has given great promises our hearts; he has given promises of true prosperity: righteousness, abundant joy, peace, satisfaction, power! But now, as we stand on that precipice, like the spies who entered into the land of Canaan, like the Israelites on the bank of the Jordan river, we have to face the challenge - will we fight for his promises? Will we step out in faith? Will we cleave to Christ? Patrick McConnell | 23rd August 20202020-08-2331 minGracehouseGracehouseCruciform LoveThe perfect revelation of God's wisdom, power and character is seen in Jesus Christ at the cross. He is a God of radical selflessness, who showed his wisdom in humiliation and his power in suffering unto death for us.
