Section Title
Divorce and Remarriage
This document explains the biblical purpose of marriage, the seriousness of the marriage vow and the limited circumstances in which Scripture permits divorce and remarriage. It outlines Jesus’ teaching, the church’s responsibility to protect and support couples, and the need for truth, care and wisdom when addressing marital breakdown.
Head Gear Wearing and Wearing of Trousers
This document explains the church’s policy on head coverings and women’s attire in worship. It summarises the biblical context of 1 Corinthians 11, highlights the difference between ancient cultural practices and modern Western customs, and clarifies that Scripture does not mandate hats or forbid women from wearing trousers. The Conference encourages modest, respectful dress in accordance with biblical principles and its established standards for worship.
The Recurring Decimal Point
This message uses the Book of Judges to show how Israel fell into a repeated cycle of sin, defeat and restoration, and how the same pattern can appear in the Christian life today. It encourages believers to recognise recurring spiritual struggles, understand their causes and seek lasting victory through Christ.
CALL FOR A PURPOSE
This sermon explores God’s call and purpose for each believer, using the story of Samuel to show how destiny unfolds through obedience to the Holy Spirit. It encourages listeners to recognise that they are chosen by God, created with purpose and called to walk in His power. Through Scripture, the message emphasises that God shapes our future, equips us for His work and works all things for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.
Cast It Off – Blind Bartimaeus
This sermon uses Blind Bartimaeus as an example of casting off the obstacles that hinder us. It encourages believers to recognise what is holding them back, call on Jesus for deliverance and step forward in faith, just as Bartimaeus did when he threw off his garment and received his sight. It teaches that true freedom comes through Christ, persistence and praise.
Born Again
This message explains Jesus’ teaching to Nicodemus about what it truly means to be born again. It shows that new birth through repentance, conversion and baptism is the only way to receive eternal life. Using the idea of an RCB as spiritual clearance for heaven, the sermon reminds listeners that when a person turns from sin, is transformed by God and follows Christ, they gain the only security that truly matters: salvation and a new life in Him.
There is power in the name of Jesus
This sermon teaches that the name of Jesus has power to break every stronghold. Using Jacob’s encounter with God, it encourages believers to identify the areas where they struggle, surrender them to the Holy Spirit and allow God to bring lasting victory. It reminds us that spiritual battles are real, but through Christ we can overcome and walk in freedom.
Do not try to impress others
This sermon teaches the importance of being honest and genuine before God and others. Using the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector, it shows that God looks at the heart and not at outward appearance or self-promotion. The message encourages believers to abandon pretence, walk in humility and live with sincere love, reminding us that true righteousness is found in honesty, repentance and a heart that seeks God rather than the approval of people.
