Victory Church JbayMom's,Messes and Miracles And she said, “O my lord! As your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by you here, praying to the Lord. For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my petition which I asked of Him.1 Samuel 1:26-27 (NKJV)This week we will be looking at the word that Pastor Edna shared on Mother’s Day this Sunday entitled ‘Moms, Messes and Miracles’.

This is a vital principle that will allow us to live victorious lives that have a kingdom impact.Firstly, we need to know that our thinking determines our position. The Isrealites stood trembling before Goliath and...2021-11-0734 minVictory Church JbayThe power of the Word Pt 3 This week we will be revisiting the sermon preached over the weekend, "The Power of the Word”, as we feel it is important to be reminded of what God is saying to us as a family.Mark 4:13-20 [NKJV] - "Then He said to them: “Do you not understand this parable? How will you understand all? The sower sows the Word and these are the ones by the way side where the word is sown and when they hear, Satan comes immediately and takes away the Word that is sown in their hearts.”1.

Expectancy. Security. • God is not angry with me – Psalm 103:13-14 [NIV]As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him; for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust. • God does not punish me as a believer – Psalm 103:10-12 [NIV]He does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far h...2020-11-2934 min
Victory Church Cape TownVICTORY PODCAST SEASON 2 | LOUIS ELS - WHAT IS NEXT FOR THE CHURCH - EP 01 | 05 OCTOBER 2020We know that no one can say with certainty what church will look like when the “dust” settles on this moment in history, but we are spending time in this season 2 of Victory Podcast looking to the future and asking our guests questions about the church and what they think things will be like.
We start by chatting to our first guest, Pastor Louis Els of Victory Church JBay. We ask him if this time during the pandemic has been a disruption or interruption?
This series consists of three 15-minute chats, that will be released thro...2020-10-0515 minVictory Church JbayKeys To Overcoming The Voice Of Intimidation 1 Samuel 17:4-19In the story of David and Goliath we read about how the enemy loves to intimidate and dictate the terms of battle. However, his bark is much louder than his bite. Every moment of every day is pregnant with the purposes of God and with breakthrough. We see this is David’s life as God used what seemed like an ordinary day, and used David to defeat the giant Goliath. Later, David used the sword that the enemy intended to use for his destruction for his victory. Like David, we won't know our day of de...2020-09-0640 minVictory Church JbayChrist Our Prize Foundational scripture: Philippians 3: 8-10, 14The prize is the reason for our effort, activity, or sacrifice. In other words, it is our purpose, delight, longing, goal, aim, victory, and reward. Our prize is that which we set our attention and affections on. Jesus is our goal. He is our prize. If we give ourselves to the wrong prize, we will ultimately become enslaved. In every season, there is an invitation from Jesus to more rest and freedom.We can lose everything; however, if Jesus is our prize, we will have everything. The question is, will our...2020-08-3039 minVictory Church JbayChrist Our Pattern Philippians 2:1-7How we think determines what we become. We have been given the mind of Christ; however, it is still our choice to align with His thoughts. If we think like Jesus thought, we will live like Jesus lived. Our attitude should also reflect His attitude. Continually checking our attitude is important as our attitude determines our altitude. Attitude pertains to our mental habits/thoughts. We need to have a Christ-like attitude. As we practice repeating an action and thinking like Christ, a healthy habit will be formed. Pleasing God isn’t about self-promotion but self-abandonment, be...2020-08-2332 minVictory Church JbaySet Free And Stay Free Philippians 1:1-29 [NKJV]John 8:31-31 [NKJV]We can be out of prison and not be free, and we can be free and not out. To maintain our freedom, we need to check our temperament and attitude regularly; otherwise, we will get stuck again. Once we receive freedom in our hearts and mind, we have to take responsibility to make the right decisions so we can stay free because God has not set us free to bring us back into bondage.Truth is a person, and true freedom comes from the heart. Free people use...2020-08-1636 minVictory Church JbayHow Do We Move Forward We move forward by hearing God’s voice and responding in obedience. In John 10:27 [NKJV], it says, My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. What God speaks to us will always line up with the written Word. The more time we spend in the Word of God, the more acquainted we will become with the way God speaks, and we will learn to trust Him, His ways, His character, and His nature. We can hear God’s voice, but sometimes we don’t recognize God’s voice. Other times, we are stubborn...2020-08-0942 minVictory Church JbayHow To Move Forward When You Feel Stuck Key Scriptures: Acts 12:1-19, Psalm 91:1-4People can cause us to get stuck. Sometimes, through influence and other times, it is out of our control. However, if we want to get unstuck, we need to surround ourselves with spirit-filled and faith-filled people who will pray with us. If we enter a place of frustration, our frustration needs to take us to a place of faith, and not to a place of anger and rebellion. When we get stuck, we need to ask God for insight and wisdom; otherwise, we will find ourselves reacting out of frustration and fear...2020-08-0230 minVictory Church JbayHip Happening Hebrews 12:8 [NKJV], But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons. It is only legitimate children that are prepared to receive their inheritance. However, the stakes are higher for the legitimate children and the training is more intense to ensure that we receive our inheritance. God wants to make us, His legitimate children worthy heirs through responsibility. We receive different rights and therefore endure different levels of discipline. Let’s not run away from these times of preparation as we are being prepared to receive an eternal inheritance that wi...2020-07-2628 minVictory Church JbayStop Looking For The Donkey's For us to live in a place of confidence and security, we need to shift our focus off ourselves and direct it towards God. In 1 Samuel 9:1-20, we read about how Saul was oblivious to God’s plan because he was busy looking for the donkeys, meanwhile, God was looking for him because He had a plan for him. God is busy looking for us because He wants to assign us to something greater. Sometimes God will allow us to go and look for things in our lives so that when we find it we know it is not wh...2020-07-1930 minVictory Church JbayFaith's Demonstration Faith comes from God as we have intimacy with Him. It is our faith in Him, our relationship with Him that overcomes the world and our circumstances. Faith is not mental assent or something that can be worked out. Instead, it is something we need to believe with our hearts. The result of heart faith is a mouth full of praise and hope. What the heart is full of the mouth will speak. In Matthew 9:29, we read, Then he touched their eyes and said, "According to your faith let it be done to you.” Here we see how a wo...2020-07-1234 minVictory Church JbayFaith That Finishes Strong 1 John 5:4-5 [NIV]For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.Faith is us placing our confidence in God and directing our trust toward Him. It is not mind over matter or our positive confession. However, we have faith because we have come to know the goodness and character of God. Faith is a relationship and dialogue with Jesus Christ and has a language...2020-07-0534 minVictory Church JbayWhat Is Faith? Faith isn’t a belief issue but a relational issue. In Hebrews 11:1, NIV, we read what faith is: “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” Faith is not being positive or having a good attitude. Instead, faith is knowing God is trustworthy and who He says He is! We acquire faith not merely by asking for more faith, but instead directing the mustard seed of faith we do have toward God. A little faith toward God can move mountains. We read this invitation in Mark 11:22, NIV, which says: “Have faith in...2020-06-2843 minVictory Church JbayFrom Dry Bones To An Army Key Scripture: Ezekiel 37:1-7 (The Valley of Dry Bones)God is able to turn any hopeless situation around, into victory! In Ezekiel 37 we read about Ezekiel’s encounter with God where before him he sees a valley of dry bones. This was a depiction of the dire state of Israel and often dry places we find ourselves in. When God asks Ezekiel what he sees, his response is unadulterated by his emotions, as declares that only God knows the answer. Ezekiel understood the importance of seeing through the eyes of faith in any and every si...2020-06-2128 minVictory Church JbayFrom Setback To Comeback Life of Gideon: Judges 6For every setback there is an opportunity for a comeback! This means that what seems like a setback in our life, is actually a time for our comeback.In the life of Gideon we see five comeback principles (Judges 6). The first principle is that God will always confirm who He is (Judges 6:10), which is not based on our gifts, talents, or human wisdom, but on Him. Secondly, God will always affirm who you are. He will tell you what is right with you and not what is wrong with you and...2020-06-1428 minVictory Church JbayLiving A Focused Life For Maximum Momentum Colossians 3:1-2 [NIV]Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.A focused life is a Christ-centred life. When we lose sight of Jesus and the cross, grace, and what He has done, sacred things become secular arguments. A focused life is a life that lives out of a heart of gratitude. A scripture that speaks of gratitude is Psalm 100:2 [NIV], which says, Worship the LORD with gladness; come before...2020-06-0724 minVictory Church JbayPentecost Acts 2:1-4 (NKJV)When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.Acts 1:6-8 (NIV)Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, ar...2020-05-3131 minVictory Church JbayKingdom Deployment Part 2 Colossians 3:1-4 [NIV]“Since then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.”Lockdown is an opportunity for us to reconnect with God so that we can come out on the other side CHANGED!
