If you’re a bottom-line kind of person, you’ve definitely asked that question before.Bottom-line people want to know – what’s the bottom line, what am I supposed to do?What is God’s bottom line, what does God want from us, what is our purpose? The answer is very simple...

Are you a believer but not a ‘belonger’?  Some people think they don’t need church. They believe in Jesus but they don’t belong to His church. Honestly they do not know what they are missing!

God never created us to look down on ourselves and to be negative about ourselves - that's the enemies job!

No one wants to really admit to being insecure, and yet we all face it at some stage. But unless we learn to identify it and overcome it, it will mess up our lives.

Have you ever felt that you’re not good enough or you don’t really have what it takes? Maybe you’ve compared yourself to someone who’s better than you?You won’t be alone feeling like that because I think we all face feelings of inferiority or insecurities at times.

Today we conclude the 3-part series on Dealing with Stress and learn the last few steps we can take to live stress-less lives. Bless you.

One of the main causes of stress is worry... and worry causes discouragement, which is disabling. Today we look at Elijah who struggled with worry and discouragement, and how he overcame.

Communication is made up of two parts – talking and listening.Most people are pretty good at the first part, the talking part, but not that good at the listening part.If we want to become better at communication, we need to develop the art of listening. 

Do you know Jesus even loves the people you don’t like? The moment you and I value others, it touches the heart of God. As Christians one of our goals is to become more Christ-like. If you want to become more Christ-like, then you’ve got to learn to value people just like Jesus did. Most of us have no problem valuing people, as long as it’s the people we value. But what about the people we don’t value, the people we don’t like? What about the people who are not like us or who don’t hold the same values we hold?

Do you know they say we make an average of 3000 decisions a day?! You’ve heard it said, "Life is made up of a succession of decisions or choices. You make your choices and then your choices make you." In this new series we're looking at "making better decisions" practically. 

We all have certain expectations - of God, of others, of ourselves. The problem is when there is a gap between our expectations and reality - which leads to disappointment. Today we see how best to manage our own expectations for peace and happiness.

There's nothing God wants more than for His children to draw closer to Him. In this message we unpack what pursuing God looks like. 

Today guest speaker RD Kgatle from one of our network churches in Burgersfort brings us this powerful word - no matter what there is always HOPE!
