Oasis Church Kempton Park

Oasis Church Kempton Park Our lead pastors, Stefan & Marlise van der Merwe, have a heart to reach our city and beyond with the life transforming message of Jesus. Love People.

They believe in the next generation and value the wisdom and guidance of those that have come before us. In 1997, Sarel and Thiesa van der Merwe saw the need for restoration and healing of the Church of Jesus Christ, and the counselling and ministry to broken and sick people. This includes marriage counselling and setting people free from demonic influences. In 2019, Dr Sarel & Thiesa gave over th

e church to Stefan and Marlise, who have from then prayed and pressed in for the new season that we are moving into, refreshed and renewed for the time we are moving in now. We believe in igniting a movement of radical lovers that transforms our community and the world! Following these simple instructions: Love God. Change the world. Since its inception, Oasis has experienced significant influence in the community and South Africa. Now, even more, we believe we will influence our people and surroundings to the Father

Exodus 36:1–2 introduces us to Bezalel, Oholiab and every skilled person God had equipped for the work of building the Tabernacle.

Moses was the leader, but he wasn't meant to do it all. He recognised what God had placed in others, released them, and trusted them to use their gifts.

That’s the picture of a healthy Kingdom community: leaders equip, people step forward, and everyone plays their part. God has placed something in your hands too.

Don’t wait for someone else to do the work. Flourish in what God has given you!

There are some things you can watch. There are some things you can listen to. And there are some things you need to be part of.

God didn't design us simply to consume church. He designed us to belong to His body, to encourage one another, grow together and be planted. There is something powerful about being there.

This Sunday, we were reminded that there is a difference between knowing about God and knowing Him.

Abraham already knew the words, “God will provide.” But on the mountain, those words became personal. He encountered the God he had been talking about. And that's the invitation for us. Don't settle for borrowed encounters. Don't live only from someone else's testimony.

Bring your actual need to God.
Bring the mountain.
Bring the questions.
Bring the waiting.

Because the place that feels like your greatest point of need may become the place where a name of God becomes real to you. YHWH Yireh. The God who sees. The God who provides. The God who was already working before Abraham could see the answer.

What are you trusting God to provide in this season?

What are you giving the most attention to right now: the giants in front of you, or the promise God has given you? Faith doesn't pretend the obstacles aren't there. It simply refuses to give them the final word.

Let your conversations, thoughts and expectations make room for what God can do.

“Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” Hebrews 11:1

This Sunday, we were reminded that God's heart is for wholeness.
From Exodus through the ministry of Jesus, Scripture repeatedly reveals God as our Healer. Jesus demonstrated the Kingdom not only through preaching, but through compassion, restoration and healing.

But healing isn't simply about receiving an answer. It's about learning to bring every part of our lives before God.
- Our bodies.
- Our minds.
- Our emotions.
- Our relationships.
- Our spiritual lives.

We were encouraged to pray with faith, pursue God wholeheartedly, care for the bodies He has entrusted to us, and continue trusting Him even when the answer doesn't come in the way or timing we expected. The teaching itself acknowledges that healing is not always immediate. Our hope isn't ultimately in a method. Our hope is in Jesus. He is our Healer, our Restorer and our source of life.

"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." Psalm 147:3
What are you trusting God for today?

Some doors don't look dangerous when they first open.
A little compromise.
An offence we keep replaying.
A habit we keep postponing.
A voice we keep allowing to shape our thinking.

But what we repeatedly permit can eventually begin to influence us. That’s why spiritual maturity isn't about living afraid of the enemy. It’s about becoming attentive to what is shaping our hearts.

The question isn't only, “Is this wrong?” Sometimes the better question is:
“Is this helping me become more like Jesus?”

Freedom in Christ means we don't have to live under the enemy's influence. But freedom also invites us to walk with wisdom, surrender and obedience.

So this week, ask the Holy Spirit:
“Is there anything I've stopped noticing that You want me to deal with?”

And when He reveals it, don't respond with shame. Respond with surrender. Close the door. Protect your freedom. Keep your heart close to Jesus.

You don't have to prove your worth to God. You were invited to remain with Him.

We live in a world that constantly tells us to do more, achieve more, produce more and keep moving. Sometimes that mindset quietly follows us into our relationship with Jesus. We can start measuring our faith by how much we are doing, how productive we feel, or how well we think we're performing.

But Jesus gives us a different invitation: remain.
Before the fruit, there is connection.
Before the doing, there is relationship.
Before the assignment, there is His presence.

When we stay close to the Vine, He shapes what grows from our lives. Our character, our choices, our relationships, our patience and our love begin to reflect the One we're connected to.

So perhaps today isn't a day to ask, "What more do I need to accomplish?"
Maybe it's simply: "Jesus, am I still close to You?"
Abide first. Let the fruit follow.

This past Sunday, we looked at a family who saw something different in the middle of the wilderness. The daughters of Zelophehad could have focused on everything that had gone wrong before them.

Instead, they looked toward the inheritance. The giants were still real. The wilderness was still real. But so was the promise. That challenges us to look at our own conversations.

What has been dominating your mouth lately? What dominates your thoughts when you're alone? Are you rehearsing the problem? Or reminding yourself of God's promise?

Faith isn't pretending that difficulties don't exist. It's choosing which voice gets the final word. Hebrews 11 tells us that faith gives substance to what we hope for and confidence concerning what we cannot yet see. And Romans 8 reminds us that the Holy Spirit is not only with us now, but is God's guarantee of what is still to come.

So this week:
- Speak faith.
- Think on God's promises.
- Refuse to let fear write the ending.
- Let your conversation agree with who God is.

The giants may be in your view, but they don't have to be in your vocabulary.

Today we celebrate women who choose to see beyond the obstacles.

In Numbers 27, Zelophehad’s five daughters stood in the same wilderness and faced the same uncertainty as everyone else. But where others had seen giants and impossibility, they saw a promise worth pursuing. They understood that what God had promised was worth stepping forward for.

That is the posture we pray over every woman today:
May you see promise where others see problems.
May you speak faith when fear is loud.
May you carry hope when circumstances seem uncertain.
May you recognise that what God has prepared for you is greater than what stands in your way.

Faith speaks about what cannot yet be seen because it trusts the One who has already spoken.
