Remember the Future
30/03/2025 Duración: 55minIn this message, we're invited to 'remember the future' - a paradoxical concept that beautifully illustrates God's sovereignty and plan for our lives. The central theme revolves around Romans 8:28, reminding us that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him. This scripture isn't just a comforting platitude; it's a profound truth that can transform how we view our struggles and triumphs. We're encouraged to see both our joys and sorrows as part of God's tapestry, weaving together for our ultimate benefit and His glory. The message draws fascinating parallels between Old Testament prophecies and their fulfillment in Jesus, showcasing God's intricate plan throughout history. This perspective challenges us to trust in God's bigger picture, even when our immediate circumstances seem dire. As we embrace this truth, we're empowered to face life's challenges with renewed hope and purpose, knowing that our future is secure in Christ.#FaithOverFear #GodsPlan #EternalPerspective #CalvaryChapelCape

Anointing of Devotion: Preparing Hearts for Sacrificial Worship
23/03/2025 Duración: 34minAs we delve into Matthew 26, we witness the profound contrast between human scheming and divine love. While religious leaders plot Jesus' demise, we see a beautiful act of devotion unfold in Bethany. Mary's sacrificial anointing of Jesus with expensive perfume teaches us the true nature of worship - giving our best to God without reservation. This story challenges us to examine our hearts: Are we fully devoted to Christ, or do we hold back? Just as the perfume's aroma likely lingered with Jesus through His suffering, our acts of worship can sustain us in difficult times. Let's consider how we can pour out our lives as a fragrant offering to God, trusting that He values our devotion even when others may not understand.#SundaySermon #Worship #JesusFirst#Jesus#Crucifixion#Passover#Worship#Devotion#Forgiveness#Anointing#Sacrifice#Mary#Disciples#Betrayal#Judas#HolySpirit#Communion#Repentance#GospelOfMatthew#Alabaster#Perfume#Spikenard#Love

Inheritance: God's Plan and Our Mission.
16/03/2025 Duración: 51minIn this exploration of inheritance, we dive deep into the story of Joshua and the Israelites entering the Promised Land. But this isn't just about ancient history - it's a profound metaphor for our own spiritual journey. We learn that God's original plan in Eden, to spread His glory and love throughout the world, continues through Israel and ultimately through Jesus Christ and His church. As believers, we're not just observers but active participants in this divine mission. We're called to be 'co-heirs with Christ,' inheriting not just earthly blessings, but the Kingdom of God itself. This inheritance isn't earned but freely given, highlighting God's incredible grace. The message challenges us to see our lives as part of God's ongoing story, urging us to 'take possession' of our relationship with Jesus and to play our role in expanding God's kingdom. It's a call to action, reminding us that we're chosen for a purpose - to proclaim God's praises and bring His light into the darkness.#Inheritance#GodsPlan#HolyL

What aboout them Giants?
09/03/2025 Duración: 52minIn this study Joshua's conquest, we're challenged to confront the 'giants' in our lives. The story of the Anakim and Nephilim isn't just ancient history - it's a metaphor for the seemingly insurmountable obstacles we face. Just as Joshua, Caleb, and later David faced literal giants, we too must confront our fears and doubts with faith. The key message is that God's presence is our strength, and His grace is sufficient to overcome any challenge. We're reminded that the battle belongs to the Lord, and our role is to trust and obey. This message encourages us to identify the 'giants' in our lives - be they addiction, fear, or unbelief - and face them with the confidence that God is fighting for us. It's a call to enter God's rest, not through our own strength, but through surrender to His will and trust in His promises.Key Points:God's grace is constantly offered, but people can either surrender to it or harden their hearts against itThe Anakim (giants) represent a particularly evil spiritual force that God soug

Trusting in God's Promises: Hills Worth Standing On
02/03/2025 Duración: 54minIn this powerful exploration of Joshua 10, we're reminded of God's unwavering faithfulness and His role as the ultimate promise keeper. The story of Joshua leading Israel into battle against five Amorite kings serves as a vivid illustration of how God fights for His people. We're challenged to consider: how often do we truly trust in God's promises, especially when faced with seemingly insurmountable obstacles? The miraculous stopping of the sun and moon demonstrates God's sovereignty over creation and His willingness to intervene on behalf of those who call on Him. This narrative encourages us to approach our own battles with courage, knowing that the same God who fought for Israel fights for us today. It's a call to deepen our faith, to stand firm on God's promises as 'hills we can die on,' and to remember that no matter how dire our circumstances may seem, we serve a God who can make even the sun stand still.

Ai Destroyed
16/02/2025 Duración: 54minIn this exploration of Joshua 8, we're reminded of the importance of seeking God's guidance in all our endeavors. The story of Israel's victory over Ai after their initial defeat serves as a poignant lesson in humility, repentance, and obedience. We see how sin in the camp - Achan's disobedience - led to defeat, but God's mercy and Joshua's leadership brought redemption. This narrative challenges us to examine our own lives: Are we fully surrendered to God's will? Are we dealing swiftly with sin in our lives? The message emphasizes that our actions affect not just ourselves, but our entire community. It encourages us to be alert, prepared, and quick to respond to God's prompting. As we navigate our own battles, let's remember that victory comes not through our strength, but through our obedience and trust in God's promises.

The Power of Covenant
09/02/2025 Duración: 01h02minIn our exploration of Joshua 7, we uncover the profound consequences of disobedience and the importance of maintaining our covenant with God. The story of Achan's sin reminds us that our actions, even those we think are hidden, can have far-reaching effects on our community and our relationship with the Divine. We're challenged to consider: How often do we, like Achan, succumb to temptation and try to hide our transgressions? This narrative compels us to reflect on the nature of sin, its ripple effects, and the crucial need for repentance. As we delve into the concept of corporate responsibility, we're reminded that our faith journey isn't just individual—it's communal. The parallel drawn between Achan's theft and our potential to 'rob God' through withholding tithes and offerings invites us to examine our own faithfulness in stewardship. Ultimately, this passage urges us to align our lives with God's will, emphasizing the importance of integrity, obedience, and the courage to confront our shortcomings before

Faith Exercised in Weakness is Savior Like Strength
02/02/2025 Duración: 50minThis sermon explores the conquest of Jericho in Joshua 6, addressing the challenging concept of divine judgment while emphasizing God's mercy and long-suffering nature. The pastor discusses how God's conquest differs from human warfare, highlighting the importance of trusting God even when His methods seem illogical. The sermon draws parallels between the fall of Jericho and spiritual concepts such as repentance, faith, and the ultimate conquest of sin through Jesus Christ.Key Points:God's conquest is different from human conquest, focusing on preparing Israel and the land for His presenceThe unusual method of conquering Jericho demonstrates the importance of trusting God even when His commands seem illogicalGod provides opportunities for repentance before judgment, as seen with Rahab's salvationThe fall of Jericho serves as a warning to other Canaanite cities and demonstrates God's powerThe curse on rebuilding Jericho symbolizes the finality of God's judgment and the importance of timely repentanceJesus' dea

Preparation for the Presence on the Promise Path
26/01/2025 Duración: 46minIn this sermon on Joshua 5, we delve into the concept of God's conquest and its true meaning. Far from a mere military campaign, we discover that God's conquest is about cleansing the land for His holy presence. The passage reminds us that judgment is universal - for both the Israelites and the Canaanites - but God's mercy provides a covering. Just as the Passover lamb's blood protected the Israelites in Egypt, we see how this foreshadows Christ as our ultimate covering. This message challenges us to examine our own lives: Are we truly under God's covering? Are we living with the humility and faith like that of Abraham? As we reflect on Joshua's encounter with the commander of the Lord's army, we're reminded that God's ways are not about taking sides, but about His holiness and our response to it. This insight invites us to approach our own challenges with a renewed perspective, seeking God's presence rather than His favoritism.

The sermon emphasizes the importance of creating and maintaining "stones of remembrance" in our lives as testimonies to God's faithfulness and power.Key Points:The importance of remembering God's interventions in historyThe symbolism of stones as memorials throughout the BibleThe pattern of salvation through water in biblical narrativesThe transition of leadership from Moses to JoshuaThe danger of following one's own desires rather than God's perfect willBelievers as living stones and testimonies of God's work
