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.

The Criminal on the Cross

Series: Breaking Point

Preacher: Nick Louw

Easter Friday

Date: 3rd April 2026

Passage: Luke 23:39-43

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

Two men. Same situation. Same moment with Jesus… yet two completely different responses.

In their final hours, one rejected Him – the other found something he never expected: hope. No time to fix his past. No chance to prove himself. Just a single, desperate turn toward Jesus.

What made the difference? And what does their story reveal about your own response to the Cross?

Listen to Part 3 of our Easter series – a powerful, hope-filled message that will challenge what you believe about grace, redemption, and what it really means to be saved.

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.
