The Journey Home

Series: Leviticus

Preacher: Nick Louw

Sunday Morning

Date: 24th May 2026

Passage: Leviticus 14:1-20

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

Some wounds don’t stay hidden.

They shape how you see yourself, how you relate to others, and quietly leave you wondering whether you’ll ever truly be clean again.

Leviticus steps into that uncomfortable reality through laws about chronic skin disease, but beneath them is a picture far bigger than physical healing. A picture of separation, restoration, and a God willing to come near to those whom everyone else kept at a distance.

Because the story of Scripture isn’t about people climbing their way back to God… It’s about God coming to cleanse what we never could.

This next message is deeply hopeful for anyone carrying shame, guilt, or the weight of feeling spiritually unclean. Lean in – and share it with someone who needs reminding that restoration is still possible.

You Are What You Eat

You Are What You Eat

Series: Leviticus

Preacher: Nick Louw

Sunday Morning

Date: 17th May 2026

Passage: Leviticus 11:1-47

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

“You are what you eat” sounds like the kind of thing people say about diets and healthy living… until Leviticus takes it in a far more personal direction. Because what you consume doesn’t just shape your body – it shapes your heart, your mind, your desires, and ultimately, the direction of your walk with God.

The uncomfortable truth is that we’re constantly feeding ourselves something. The question is: is it making you spiritually healthy… or slowly poisoning you?

Leviticus 11 uncovers why God cared so much about what His people consumed – and why that still matters in a world where we absorb more than ever before.

This next message is deeply practical, surprisingly confronting, and more relevant to your daily life than you might expect. Listen now… and share it with someone trying to navigate what’s good, true, and worth taking in.

The Dangerous Presence of God

The Dangerous Presence of God

Series: Leviticus

Preacher: Nick Louw

Sunday Morning

Date: 10th May 2026

Passage: Leviticus 10:1-11

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

Most of us don’t think much about safety rules… until something powerful is involved.

You want the pilot to follow protocol. You want barriers around high voltage. Because deep down, we know some things are too dangerous to approach carelessly.

Leviticus reveals that the same is true of God — and that’s exactly why He made a way for sinful people to draw near to Him safely.

The question is: are you approaching Him the right way?

This next message is confronting, hopeful, and more relevant than you might expect. Lean in, listen closely, and share it with someone searching for more than empty religion.

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

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.

Series: Leviticus

Preacher: Nick Louw

Sunday Morning

Date: 19th April 2026

Passage: Leviticus 3:1-17

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

Some of the best moments in life happen around good food and the people we love.

But what if those moments aren’t the destination… what if they’re only a glimpse of something far greater God has planned?

Leviticus reveals a side of God most people miss – and once you see it, you won’t experience life the same way again.

God’s Love Language

God’s Love Language

Series: Leviticus

Preacher: Nick Louw

Sunday Morning

Date: 12th April 2026

Passage: Leviticus 1:1-2:16

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

What do you give someone who has everything?

It sounds simple… until you realise who you’re dealing with. Because when it comes to God, the real answer isn’t as obvious as we’d like.

Leviticus opens with something unexpected – and it might challenge you more about your life than you’re ready for.

Listen to the first message in our new series… and see what it exposes.
