Deputised by the High King of Heaven

Deputised by the High King of Heaven

Series: Leviticus

Preacher: Dylan Marais

Sunday Morning

Date: 3rd May 2026

Passage: Leviticus 8:1-36

-------------------

There’s something captivating about being knighted – taking a knee as one person, and rising with a new identity and purpose.

We’re drawn to it… But most of us feel more disqualified than chosen.

Leviticus confronts that lie – not with pressure, but with mercy. Because God doesn’t wait for you to be worthy… He makes you ready.

So the question is: are you still holding back… or stepping into what He’s already called you to?

Lean in – this one might change how you see your purpose.

The Problem of Sin

Dylan Marais — Sun, 26 Apr 2026 09:30:00 +0100

The Problem of Sin

Series: Leviticus

Preacher: Dylan Marais

Sunday Morning

Date: 26th April 2026

Passages:

Leviticus 4:27-35
Leviticus 6:1-7

-------------------

How clean do you feel?

For most of us, it’s surface-level – good enough to get through the day. But what if the real issue isn’t what’s on the outside… but what’s going on underneath?

Leviticus confronts something we’d rather avoid: sin isn’t just what you do – it’s in you. Not just the obvious failures, but the ones you don’t even notice. And without a way to deal with it, you wouldn’t escape it… You’d be carrying it, day after day.

Which raises a bigger question: what actually makes someone clean?

The next message in our series doesn’t avoid that tension – it walks straight into it… and what it reveals might be more freeing than you expect.

Thomas the Believer

Dylan Marais — Sun, 05 Apr 2026 09:30:00 +0100

Thomas the Believer

Series: Breaking Point

Preacher: Dylan Marais

Easter Sunday

Date: 5th April 2026

Passage: John 20:19-29

-------------------

Easter stands or falls on one claim: Jesus rose from the dead… but not everyone finds that easy to believe.

Thomas didn’t. He refused to accept it – not without seeing, not without touching. And when Jesus met him there, in that moment of doubt, everything was exposed.

Because this story isn’t just about Thomas… It’s a mirror.

Listen to the final instalment of our Easter series – a gripping, hope-filled message that will challenge what you believe about the resurrection of Jesus, and reveal why there’s room for both the sceptic and the believer.

Judas, the Betrayer

Dylan Marais — Sun, 29 Mar 2026 09:30:00 +0100

Judas, the Betrayer

Series: Breaking Point

Preacher: Dylan Marais

Sunday Morning

Date: 29th March 2026

Passage: Matthew 26:47-56

-------------------

Some people appear genuine… until the moment everything is revealed.

Judas walked with Jesus – hearing every parable, witnessing every miracle, saying all the right things. From the outside, his faith looked undeniable. But when it mattered most, his true loyalty was revealed — publicly, undeniably, and forever.

His story isn’t just history… It’s a warning. Because we can say the right words and play the part, but one day, every heart will be laid bare.

Listen to Judas the Betrayer, the next instalment in our Easter series – a sobering, eye-opening message that will challenge what it really means to follow Christ.

Jesus Is Bigger Then You Think

Dylan Marais — Sun, 15 Mar 2026 09:30:00 +0000

Jesus Is Bigger Then You Think

Series: Matthew

Preacher: Dylan Marais

Sunday Morning

Date: 15th March 2026

Passage: Matthew 22:41-46

-------------------

Most of us know how we treat something that’s truly valuable. A meaningful gift, something rare, or something given by someone we love – we handle it differently. We protect it. We treasure it. We recognise its worth.

But what about Jesus?

As our Matthew series continues, Jesus turns the tables on the religious leaders who have been questioning Him all along. With one simple question, He exposes a deeper issue – how easily people can stand close to the truth without recognising its true value.

This message invites you to pause and reconsider who Jesus really is, and what that means for how we respond to Him. Click to listen to the latest instalment in our Matthew series and discover why recognising Jesus rightly changes everything.

The Life-Changing Power of God

Dylan Marais — Sun, 01 Mar 2026 09:30:00 +0000

The Life-Changing Power of God

Series: Matthew

Preacher: Dylan Marais

Sunday Morning

Date: 1st March 2026

Passage: Matthew 22:23-33

-------------------

Many of us grew up with Bible phrases we never questioned. They sounded right. They felt familiar. And over time, we assumed we had truth figured out. But what happens when a confident belief is built on a misunderstanding?

As our Matthew series continues, Jesus is asked a clever question about the future – one meant to expose the limits of faith and make hope seem unrealistic. Instead of debating details, Jesus tells a much bigger story. One that reaches back through history and quietly asks whether we’ve underestimated both the truth… and the God behind it.

This message invites you to rethink what you believe about life, death, and what comes next – and why the faithfulness of God still matters today. Click to listen and rediscover a hope grounded not in slogans, but in the life-changing power of God.

How to Avoid the Worst Mistake of Your Life

How to Avoid the Worst Mistake of Your Life

Series: Matthew

Preacher: Dylan Marais

Sunday Morning

Date: 8th February 2026

Passage: Matthew 21:33-46

-------------------

We all know the feeling of putting something off because it doesn’t feel urgent… yet. Assuming there will be time to deal with it later. Expecting patience without ever asking what it’s for.

As our Matthew series continues, Jesus tells a story that sounds simple on the surface – but it carries a sharp edge. It confronts how easily familiarity can turn into presumption, and how quickly grace can be misunderstood.

Click to listen to the latest message and discover why this moment in Matthew refuses to let us stay comfortable, and why it may be more hopeful than it first appears.

Date: 4th January 2026

Passage: Isaiah 9:7

-------------------

The Peace that Jesus Gives

Series: The Gifts Of Christmas

Preacher: Dylan Marais

Sunday Morning

Date: 21st December 2025

Passage: Isaiah 9:5

-------------------

“Peace on earth” sounds beautiful – until December arrives. Between busy roads, packed shopping centres, strained relationships, and a world that feels anything but calm, peace can feel more like a slogan than a reality.

Yet Christmas begins with a bold promise: that Jesus was born to bring peace – not a fragile, surface-level calm, but a deep, steady peace that can hold us even when life doesn’t slow down. And for many of us, that’s exactly what we’re longing for.

If you’re feeling tired, overwhelmed, or desperate for a peace you can actually experience in real life, this message is for you. Click to listen to the latest message in our Gifts of Christmas series and rediscover the peace Jesus gives – peace that restores hope, steadies the heart, and carries you through this festive season.

Finding The Joy of Christmas

Finding The Joy of Christmas

Series: The Gifts Of Christmas

Preacher: Dylan Marais

Sunday Morning

Date: 7th December 2025

Passage: Isaiah 9:1-7

-------------------

Christmas is meant to be joyful, yet for many, the closer we get to the day, the harder it is to find. Between the stress, the pressure, and the whirlwind of expectations, the season can leave you feeling stretched thin, overwhelmed, or secretly running on empty. Joy feels rare… maybe even out of reach.

But Christmas joy was never meant to be fragile or fleeting. This message will help you rediscover what real joy is, where it truly comes from, and why it can carry you not just through December – but through every season of your life.

listen to the second message in our Gifts of Christmas series and reclaim the joy your heart has been missing.

Comfort and Complacency

Comfort and Complacency

Series: Isaiah

Preacher: Dylan Marais

Sunday Morning

Date: 16th November 2025

Passage: Isaiah 40:1-11

-------------------

We’re all chasing comfort – in our routines, our relationships, our plans, and the places we hope will steady us. Yet despite all our efforts, many of us still feel restless, overwhelmed, or quietly disconnected from the peace we long for.

Isaiah speaks directly into that everyday struggle. He suggests that the comfort we’re searching for isn’t out of reach, but we may be looking for it in places that can’t truly restore us. And the real reason we feel unsettled might be closer to the heart than we realise.

This message offers a surprising, hope-filled invitation to experience lasting comfort – the kind that strengthens your faith, steadies your emotions, and transforms how you face the pressures of daily life.

If you’ve been longing for peace, clarity, or a fresh sense of God’s presence, this message may open the door to the comfort you’ve been missing.

God Returns

Dylan Marais — Sun, 02 Nov 2025 09:30:00 +0000

God Returns

Series: Isaiah

Preacher: Dylan Marais

Sunday Morning

Date: 2nd November 2025

Passage: Isaiah 52:7-13

-------------------

When life breaks down, the best news you can hear is, “Help is on the way.” That’s how biblical salvation works — God comes down to where we are stuck to save us.

In Isaiah 52:8 God's people rejoice that God has returned to save them. Listen as we continue in our Isaiah series and be reminded “Help is on the way.”

Following Jesus’ Example of Greatness

Following Jesus’ Example of Greatness

Series: Matthew

Preacher: Dylan Marais

Sunday Morning

Date: 19th October 2025

Passage: Matthew 20:17-28

-------------------

We spend our lives trying to climb higher – adding titles to our names, chasing recognition, proving our worth. But what if the path to true greatness isn’t up, but down?

In this next part of our Matthew series, Jesus redefines what it means to be great. As He walks toward the cross, He flips success on its head – while others reach for power, He reaches for a towel, while the world celebrates dominance, He chooses the posture of a servant.

It’s a kind of greatness the world still can’t make sense of. This message will make you question everything you thought you knew about success – and invite you to discover a Kingdom where the way up begins by kneeling down.

If you’ve ever thought about emigrating, you know how intense the process can be – paperwork, requirements, proof that you’re valuable enough to be accepted.

Now imagine applying for entry into the Kingdom of Heaven. What would you need to qualify? What could you possibly offer that would make you worthy of citizenship there?

In this week’s message, we uncover Jesus’ surprising answer – one that flips everything we believe about worth, success, and belonging upside down. Listen now to discover what Heaven values most, and why that’s the best news you’ll ever hear.

Preacher: Dylan Marais

Series: Matthew

Preacher: Dylan Marais

Sunday Morning

Date: 14th September 2025

Passage: Matthew 18:15-20

-------------------

How do you really feel about church? For some, it may feel like a duty, something to tick off each week because “my faith is personal anyway.” But what if church is actually one of the greatest privileges God has given you?

This week’s message invites you to see belonging to God’s people in a whole new light – where your place, your presence, and your relationships carry eternal weight.

Discover the beauty of what it truly means to belong.

The Faith Factor

Series: Matthew

Preacher: Dylan Marais

Sunday Morning

Date: 31st August 2025

Passage: Matthew 17:14-27

-------------------

Mountain-top experiences are incredible – but they never last forever. After the high of the view comes the reality of the climb back down: mountains of laundry, finances, health struggles, or problems you just can’t seem to shake.

Jesus said if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can move mountains. But if that’s true… why does your mountain still stand in the way?

The disciples wrestled with the same question until Jesus revealed a truth that turned their understanding of faith upside down.

Series: Matthew

Preacher: Dylan Marais

Sunday Morning

Date: 10th August 2025

Passage: Matthew 16:13-20

-------------------

A revolutionary? A fraud? A prophet? A nobody? Ask a hundred people who they think Jesus is, and you’ll get a hundred answers. But what if the real answer is something far bigger than you’ve ever imagined?

In our latest Matthew series message, we dig into ancient Scriptures, uncover clues from the Old Testament, and confront the question that could redefine your life: "Who do you say I am?” You might think you know Him. But do you? Listen to the sermon and find out.

Series: Matthew

Preacher: Dylan Marais

Sunday Morning

Date: 27th July 2025

Passage: Matthew 15:21-39

-------------------

Ever feel like you're not spiritual enough, or haven’t done enough to earn your place in God’s Kingdom? When we live in a world of tiered memberships where banks, gyms, and reward cards all offer benefits based on performance, it's no surprise that many of us carry that same mindset into our relationship with God, quietly wondering: Do I even qualify for His help or blessing? In this message from our Matthew series, we meet a woman who had every reason to feel unworthy. She had the wrong background, a painful history, and no religious credentials, and yet, she boldly approaches Jesus. Discover what her story reveals about grace, faith, and how membership in God's Kingdom really works.

The Power & Compassion of Jesus

Series: Matthew

Preacher: Dylan Marais

Sunday Morning

Date: 13th July 2025

Passage: Matthew 14:13-33

-------------------

Wouldn’t it be great if everything in life ran smoothly the moment we started following Jesus? The reality is… it doesn’t. We face real challenges. And even though we know who Jesus is, most days we barely have enough faith to trust Him with our daily needs – let alone the big storms.

But what if Jesus meets us right there – in our weakness, in our fear, in our need?

This week’s message invites us to rethink how we see His compassion and power – and what happens when we dare to cry out to Him. Tap to listen and be reminded: Sometimes all it takes is a whisper of faith… and He comes walking through the storm.

Preacher: Dylan Marais

Sunday Morning

Date: 18th May 2025

Passage: Ephesians 5:25-33

-------------------

We’re living in a time where masculinity is under fire, leadership is shrinking, and identity is being redefined by culture instead of by God. The results? Broken homes, confused roles, and silent struggles behind closed doors. But what if there’s a better way? What if the Bible holds a blueprint for manhood that’s not only relevant, but also radically needed today? In this week’s sermon, we unpack a truth that could reshape how you lead, love, and live, not just as a man, but as a follower of Christ. Start your week anchored in truth.

Training in Discipleship

Series: Matthew

Preacher: Dylan Marais

Sunday Morning

Date: 27th April 2025

Passage: Matthew 13:47-52

-------------------

Are you ready for Judgement Day? Many people drift through life without realising that a dragnet is already in the water, slowly closing in. Every person will be caught up and sorted – and while some will be found ready, many won’t. Ignoring the warning has eternal consequences. In the latest sermon in our Matthew series, we’re reminded that Kingdom work isn’t for a select few – it’s a calling for every believer. And just like you wouldn’t trust an untrained surgeon with your eyes, your role in God’s Kingdom demands real training and discipleship. Are you prepared for what’s ahead? Will you help others be ready too?

Series: Matthew

Preacher: Dylan Marais

Sunday Morning

Date: 18th April 2025

Passage: Matthew 13:31-33

-------------------

What if the greatest power in the world looked like weakness?

On Good Friday, Jesus died on a cross – hardly the image of a king or a kingdom anyone expected. But in Matthew 13, He speaks of a Kingdom that starts as small as a mustard seed, almost as invisible as yeast... yet grows to transform everything.

Could Someone so quiet and humble, really change your life. Listen to this Good Friday message to change the way you see the Cross, and what God is doing in your own life.

Passage: Matthew 12:38-50

Passage: Matthew 10:16-23

-------------------

When you chose to follow Christ, what did you imagine would change? Did you expect challenges – or even opposition? The truth is, if Jesus shines through your life, resistance is inevitable.

Passage: Matthew 8:18-22

-------------------
