   Resurrection Sunday | Bruce McCleland | Easter Service

   When we read the story of Exodus, we see a picture of God’s heart for freedom. The Israelites were trapped in slavery, and God sent Moses to lead them out. Pharaoh’s pride led to a series of plagues, ending in the death of every firstborn in Egypt. But God made a way out for His people: by painting the blood of a spotless lamb on their doorposts, death would pass over them. Before this moment, God made a powerful promise in Exodus 6:6-7: “Therefore, say to the Israelites: ‘I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. I will free you from being slaves to them, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment. I will take you as my own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God...” Every Passover, every year, these four promises are remembered, through the drinking of 4 cups Cup 1 – Sanctification “I will bring you out” Jesus calls us out of sin and into life (John 17:14-19) Cup 2 – Deliverance “I will free you” Jesus breaks the power of sin over our lives (Romans 6:6-7) Cup 3 – Redemption “I will redeem you” Through His blood, we are redeemed (1 Peter 1:18-19) Cup 4 – Praise (Fulfillment) “I will take you as my people” Future: Wedding Supper of the Lamb (Rev. 19:7-9) When Jesus shared the cup at the Last Supper in Matthew 26:27-29, He said He wouldn’t drink again until the day He drinks it new with us in the Father’s kingdom. That Fourth Cup—it’s still waiting for us. But while we wait, we testify. We share what He’s done. We were blind, but now we see. We don’t live like He’s still on the cross but we live in the power of the empty tomb.

   Not Thirsty? | Ps Tammy Hopkins | Thirsty? Part 2

   Spiritual thirst is real and affects many Christians. In this sermon, join Ps Tammy as she teaches us on how to stay thirsty for God and not be saturated by the things of this world. In Isaiah 55:1, God calls out: "Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat!" Just like a marathon runner who loses the feeling of thirst after extreme exhaustion, we can become numb to our spiritual need for God. On the cross, after enduring unimaginable pain, Jesus finally spoke: "I am thirsty." (John 19:28-30). Why did He say this? His thirst wasn’t just physical—it symbolized the deep human need for connection with God. 🔹 What makes us lose our thirst for God? Lack of connection with ourselves – Toxic relationships, stress, social media, and busyness can make us seek the wrong things for fulfillment. (Luke 22:42) Saturation by the world – When we fill ourselves with worldly distractions, we struggle to absorb God’s presence. Shutting down – Disconnection leads to spiritual numbness, but Jesus never shut down—He remained fully present even in suffering. Lack of connection with others – Hurt, disappointment, and compassion fatigue can distance us from people and the Church. Yet, even on the cross, Jesus cared for His mother and John (John 19:26-27). Lack of connection with God – Trauma and suffering, like Jesus’ journey to Golgotha (John 19:17-18), can make us feel disempowered and vulnerable. But Jesus never let suffering disconnect Him from His Father. Jesus thirsted because He stayed connected—to Himself ("I thirst."), to people ("John, here is your mother."), and to God ("Into Your hands I commit my spirit."). He fulfilled His purpose, declaring "It is finished!" Just like in a marathon, where pushing through exhaustion leads to the finish line, we must not let anything quench our thirst for the One who truly satisfies. Stay connected. Stay thirsty for God.

   Take My Hand | Ps Bruce McCleland | International Life Child Day

   On this International Life Child Day, join Pastor Bruce as he teaches on the importance of taking Jesus’s hand like Peter and allowing Him to be our guide. Celebrate International Life Child day with us as well. Visit our website for more info:  https://lifechild.org.za/ (https://lifechild.org.za/) Lamentations 3:22-24 (NKJV) "Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. 'The Lord is my portion,' says my soul, 'Therefore I hope in Him!'" One of the most powerful moments in the Gospels is Peter stepping out of the boat in faith toward Jesus. When fear caused him to sink, Jesus immediately reached out and lifted him. How often have we felt like we’re sinking—before Christ and even in faith? Yet, in His mercy, He takes our hand. Romans 5:8 (NIV) "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." He lifts us from despair and sets us on solid ground. Psalms 40:2 (NKJV) "He brought me up out of a horrible pit, Out of the miry clay, And set my feet upon a rock, And established my steps." The right hand of God represents: Power, trust, and security Rescue, victory, and favor Strength, authority, and promise Jesus now sits at the right hand of the Father, and He calls us to extend our hands to others. Acts 3:6-8 (NLT) Peter, taking the lame man by the right hand, lifted him up—and he was healed! We are saved by faith and led by faith. Jesus was always the first to reach out—so let’s be His hands and feet in the world.
