The Practical Christian - Delighting in God's Word
This 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.

Husbands & Wives
The 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.

Jesus' Example Heals the World
Why 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.

Honouring Authorities
God 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.

Do 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.

Hope for Suffering Exiles
As 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.

Love Over Everything
There 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.

Going Through a Crisis of Faith
When 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...

Humanising our Heroes and Elevating the Neglected
The 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.

The Story and Meaning of Job
The 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.

Life 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.

Yield to the Spirit
We 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.

A Community of Christ-Mimes
Many 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”?

How should a Christian respond to what is happening in the world?

The Wind is Here
There 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...

The Bridal Paradigm
God 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 2020

Only Two Entered In
The 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 2020

Cruciform Love
The 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. God's cruciform love is the very essence of His glory; it is the reason we are brought to our knees in endless praise before him! 16 August 2020 | Theunis Pretorius

A Culture of Friendship
Tragically, friendship can become a secondary, even neglected part of how we understand and live out the Christian life. But among the manifold beauty of the kingdom of God is a people deeply connected in the same loving relationship that has been demonstrated in the Godhead, and which we have been invited to share in. Don't neglect the sweet and joyful gift of Christian friendship, but cultivate strong, fun-loving, authentic, Jesus-centred relationships! Theunis Pretorius | 9th August 2020

God Revealed as a Father
The Lord has been impressing upon Gracehouse a sweet and beautiful revelation of God's Fatherly heart. He does not give a stone to those who ask for bread, nor a snake to those who ask for a fish. He does not ignore those who ask and seek and knock. He is a tender Father, full of compassion, mercy, abundant generosity and forgiveness. Everything he does comes from his abundant love, for he is love. Revealed in Jesus, we see that there is nothing our heavenly Father would not do for the good of his children. It is this magnificent t...
