Jude is a short book, but every word is packed with power and purpose.

Here’s a brief recap of our 4-week journey through Jude. There were so many powerful insights, challenges, and moments of encouragement that we simply couldn't fit them all into this short video!

Throughout the series, Jude called us to stand firm in the truth, contend for the faith, and keep our eyes fixed on Christ. Through it all, one truth stands above every other:

Jesus is Saviour and Lord.

We pray this series has encouraged, challenged, and strengthened your faith as we've journeyed through this incredible letter together.

If you'd like to revisit the series, reflect on the messages again, or catch up on any episodes you may have missed, you can watch them here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmXEkyZrXBDp9q1hTuBoHqpoUUCYmu2tE&si=h-5YItVpq2QMz1l6

Thank you for being part of the journey. ❤️

We wrap up Jude this Sunday with a powerful reminder of what it means to follow Jesus.

Our bottom line remains clear: Jesus is Saviour AND LORD.

Jude calls us to remember the truth of the gospel, live by the Spirit, build one another up in faith, pray in the power of God, and show mercy to those around us. In a world shaped by self-interest and distraction, we are invited into a life that reflects our true allegiance to Christ.

And then comes the promise: God is able to keep us from stumbling and will bring us into His glorious presence with great joy.

We finish by declaring again that all glory, majesty, power, and authority belong to Jesus forever.

We start at 9am, in-house and online. Come early and sign your kids up for Children’s Church. We also have a beautiful baby room and toddler room where you can comfortably watch and listen to the sermon while keeping an eye on your little ones.

See you there!

This Sunday we come to the final episode of our Jude series.

We’ve been journeying through the Epistle of Jude—a short but powerful call to stay grounded in our faith, keep our eyes on Jesus, and hold fast when life feels pressured or distracting. As we close the series, Michael will be bringing the final episode.

We’ll also share communion together, taking time to remember Christ’s body broken and His blood poured out for us, and to recentre our hearts on His grace.

Come ready to reflect, worship, and receive all that God has for us.

Jesus is Lord and Saviour. See you there!

We had such an amazing time yesterday at D4J as we hosted this month’s gathering Oakhill.

D4J is a space where local church and community leaders come together to spend meaningful time together, share stories, and encourage one another.

We were privileged to have Ben Marais sharing with us on creating soft spaces of belonging. He challenged us with a powerful question: Are you a soft space? Before we can create spaces where others feel seen, valued, and welcomed, we need to learn how to be a soft space for ourselves first.

Ben also shared about his ministry, Ambassadors Football South Africa, where football is used as a tool to coach, mentor, and positively impact the lives of young people.

A big thank you to Streams Café for providing our delicious lunch, and to everyone who attended and contributed to making the day so meaningful.

We left encouraged, challenged, and inspired, and we're grateful for the relationships and unity that continue to grow among church leaders in our city.

We’re already looking forward to the next D4J gathering! 🙌❤️

Join us Sunday as we move into Part 3 of our Jude series, the bottom line is simple but life-changing: Jesus is Saviour AND Lord.

This week, we’ll unpack Jude 11–16 and explore what it really means to live under the lordship of Jesus — not just confessing Him with our mouths, but living like it’s true.

“And for Christians of every age, how we live is the most reliable indicator of what we actually believe.” – The Bible Project, Jude.

So the question is:
Does my life reflect that Jesus is truly Lord?

We start at 9am, in-house and online. Come early and sign your kids up for Children’s Church!

We also have a beautiful baby room and toddler room where you can comfortably watch and listen to the sermon while keeping an eye on your little ones.

This Sunday we celebrate World Foster Day with Kin Culture.

We honour foster families — the everyday heroes opening their homes and hearts to children who need safety, stability, and love.

Let’s not just recognise them… let’s celebrate them this Sunday.

Sow encouragement in a practical way: send a meal, write a meaningful note, bless them with a voucher, run an errand, or drop off a bunch of flowers just to say “we see you, and we’re with you.”

It doesn’t have to be big to make a difference — it just has to be love in action.

This Sunday, ask a foster family: “How can I support you today?”

This Sunday we continue our series in the book of Jude, exploring Jude 1:5–10 and the powerful challenge to live under the Lordship of Jesus.

Jude warns against false teaching, compromise, pride, and immorality, reminding us that our lives reflect what we truly believe. This message explores guarding your faith, pursuing humility and purity, and fully surrendering to Jesus as Lord.

Whether you’re joining us in-house or online, our service starts promptly at 9am! We know cold winter mornings make getting out of bed a little harder, so come a few minutes early and don’t miss a moment of our incredible worship.

You can book your kiddos in from 8:45am. We also have a baby room and toddler room available, where you can comfortably watch and listen to the sermon while caring for your little one.

We can’t wait to see you there!
