Hillsong South Africa's Podcast

Ephesians 4:16 (NIV) paints a powerful picture of the Church as a living, breathing body—held together by Christ and built up in love as each one plays their part. At Hillsong, we believe everyone has a place and a purpose. There’s no such thing as sitting on the sidelines in the Kingdom of God. You were created to contribute—your gifts, your heart, your worship—it all matters. Romans 12:4–8 reminds us that we’re uniquely gifted, and 2 Samuel 24:24 challenges us to bring an offering that costs us something—real contribution is always personal and poured out. But we also know this: apart from Jesus, it’s all in vain. John 15:5 reminds us that He is the vine, and we are the branches—everything we do flows from Him. So as we grow together, let’s be a Church that loves deeply, serves boldly, and builds the body through every act of faithfulness, because all contribute.
