The Boulevard of Broken Dreams—by Jacques Genis

June 12, 2022

Sermon summary:

1 Samuel 21:1–7 David had dreams as a young man that didn't work out the way he planned.

From anointed to be king; shepherd, to playing music for Saul, to national hero, to running for his life... his dreams broken.


Later in his life, he starts off on the path of deceit; takes matters into his own hands.

V8–9 the sword was an icon of God's promise to David. Ps 33: you're saved by God's unfailing love.

How did he forget God's faithfulness so quickly? He panicked, lied.


What do you do when things don't work out for you?

1 Samuel 18:22–23 The consequence of David's sin. He didn't deal with the sin in his family either.

2 Samuel 15:7–24 David flees from Absalom. The emotions from those broken dreams were strong.


V25–26 There is an alternative option. He decided not to take matters into his own hands.

The Holy Spirit gives guidance and direction in our missionary work. Are we doing the work the Spirit has set aside for each one of us to do? He knows the time, place and person to reach out to. Are we listening and obeying when he nudges us? The Holy Spirit forms Christ in all of us and it's a lifetime journey. Seek to be filled. Listen to his voice. Step out boldly.

Sacrificial Giving—by Jacques Genis, CJ Roux & Fungai Blake

April 6, 2025
Giving is an act of trust. It is also not an obligation but an act of worship. Give from the heart, not as a duty, but as a way to express gratitude. Giving is about unity in the church, it is motivated by grace, not guilt, and a spiritual act of joyful worship. Jesus demonstrated sacrificial giving through his actions, leaving us an example to follow.

My Story, His Mission & Grace—by Erick Li Sik and Ettienne Wilke

March 31, 2025
To embrace Jesus's mission, I must first clothe myself with Jesus and have his character formed in me. He must become greater, I must become less. Then I"ll be able to do as Jesus did. God's grace is with me. We need each other. Grace is a gift.
