What are my sources of inspiration as a preacher? What breathes life into my sermon preparation and delivery? Join us on a journey of discovery.

A drone view of a congregation waving? This may not be all that unusual these days, but the story behind it is touching. And the Chief Apostle himself tells the story.

We are supposed to serve the Lord with gladness. But how? The answer is clear: those who serve God have reason to be glad— and not only at some point down the line, but here and now.

Do good and don’t stop. “This seed will sprout. Maybe you will see what develops, maybe not. But the good you do is never in vain.” And here is the divine service that this statement is based on.

Sometimes in life it is as though we have been thrown into a fiery furnace. Life can be hard, and it is certainly tempting to take an easier path. But such paths lead away from God. Let us follow the example of three young men.

Preaching is not something you do just like that: it must be inspired by the Holy Spirit, be aligned with the Bible, and be in accordance with our doctrine.  The Chief Apostle explains the requirements.

Proclaiming God's word at the altar – that raises questions. At the top of the list: Where does my ministerial authority to preach come from? How do I understand myself as one ordained by the Apostle ministry?

Those who know they have been set free from sin make a conscious decision to be God’s servant, and this out of love and gratitude. This was the subject of a recent divine service in Kenya.

“Who is Jesus?” This is the question that runs through our divine services in April. Every key stage of the Passiontide offers an answer—right up to Easter and beyond.

Faith, love, and hope; and peace, joy, and knowledge—all of these can come to fruition through the word of preaching. But this doesn’t just happen. Here is what every believer can and must do for themselves.

God is not there to make life difficult for us. On the contrary, He does more good for us than we realise—sometimes even through trials. Are you wondering how this can work? The Chief Apostle recently shed some light on this question.

“It’s time to do good!” This year’s motto is especially important for our children. Because for them too it is all about salvation. How can we teach our children the importance of our divine services? Here are some tips—and not just for parents.

As Christians we cannot agree with the state of the world. But there is hope for a better future. ‌And this is something we can demonstrate, the Chief Apostle says.

Whether under mango trees or in a large church, God dwells among the people. He lives in their hearts and in His congregation. The Chief Apostle recently gave a tour of this dwelling place.

Many have genuine concerns when it comes to mixing preaching and science. But it is worth taking a closer look. Because homiletics is not as foreign as it sounds. Here is the part one of a series. 

It is the most topical aspect of our annual motto. And it can be explained by all kinds of weather. Here is an entire divine service about a tiny little word.

Trust in God’s unshakeable grace. “Lord, I Stretch My Hands to You” is sung here by a Cape Town youth choir. May this touching rendition set the mood for tomorrow’s divine service for the departed.  

God’s mercy is often cited and extolled, but how does this divine attribute manifest itself? And how do we respond to it? This is what the five Sunday services in March will explore.
