Saved to Serve—by Justin Renton

October 31, 2022

Sermon summary:

God made us to make a difference and serve.


1. You were uniquely designed

Jeremiah 1:4–5 

Exodus 36:1–2 God gave the Israelites skills and abilities. He knew ahead of time what was needed. Verse 35 He filled them with skills because he had a mission for them. 

Deuteronomy 8:17–18 All abilities are learnt by practice but come from God. He wants you to use them for a specific purpose.


2. For a specific purpose. Ephesians 2:10 

God prepared good work in advance for us to do. "Somebody somewhere is depending on you to do what God intended for you to do."

What are you doing with the talents God gave you? Are you using them for God or yourself?

It is more blessed to give than receive.

I Cor 12:14–27 All the parts of the body has a purpose in his body. If you look only to use your talents outside the kingdom you'll never discover God's purpose for your life. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should do it.


3. Saved to serve. 2 Timothy 1:9 There should be no non-functioning part of the body. 

I Corinthians 6:20 Jesus doesn't want us to serve out of duty. A saved heart wants to serve.

*Cancer cells takes from the body and refuses to give back. It convinces the other cells to do the same; eventually they die and the body with it.

*How are you serving and giving back to the body?

Sacrificial Giving—by Ivor Botha, Erick Li Sik & Bridget Mokoteli

May 4, 2025
We are called to excel in the grace of giving—it’s not just a duty, but a spiritual act of worship. Be consistent and faithful in our giving. Set it aside intentionally, and don’t delay in fulfilling what you’ve committed to the Lord. Don't let your imperfect view of God impact your giving.

Biblical Parenting Part 1 —by Justin & Sarah-Jane Louw

April 27, 2025
Changing takes courage—but parenting God’s way means choosing His path, and knowing where our help comes from. Righteousness is about healing and strengthening relationships, not achieving perfection. Don’t conform to the world’s ways—seek God’s perspective on parenting. Model the behaviour you want to see, and let His Word draw your heart to your children, and theirs to yours. Be present in their spiritual journey—it's not optional, it's your responsibility.

Treasure in the Field—by Justin Louw & the Teens

April 20, 2025
We are like broken pieces of pottery. God went looking for us, he found the fragments of our lives discarded by life/shame/disappointment, and put us back with the blood of Jesus. Treat each other not as broken but perfected through Christ.
