We all long for assurance, especially when it comes to our relationship with God. In this message from Romans 8:1–11, we explore one of the most beautiful truths in all of Scripture: if you are in Christ, you are truly free from condemnation.You can live with certainty because the Holy Spirit lives in you as your guarantee, and works through you as visible evidence of your salvation. No more performing. No more pretending. Just the peace and joy of being fully known, fully loved, and eternally secure.
Why do we so often want what's right—but end up doing what's wrong? In this message from Romans 7:13–25, we step into the raw, honest tension many believers know well: the struggle between our desire for holiness and the reality of ongoing sin. We see that this inner conflict isn't proof of fake faith—but of real transformation in progress. Paul’s words remind us that we are not defined by our failures but by our union with Christ. Sin may battle for our attention, but it no longer owns us. Be encouraged: you belong to Jesus, not to sin—and His Spirit empowers you to live like it.
In this special message, we explore God’s design for church leadership as we ordain new Elders at BBC. You'll discover the beauty, purpose, and weight of this calling, and how it functions practically within our church family. Far from corporate titles or ceremonial roles, Elders are servant-hearted shepherds who lead under Christ, for the good of His people. Whether you’re new to church or have journeyed with us for years, this message will give you clarity and deep gratitude for God’s gift of Eldership. Join us as we celebrate this moment and commit to walking forward—together—in faith, unity, and grace.
In this message from Romans 7, we explore the life-changing reality that we no longer belong to the law, but to Christ himself. Paul helps us see that the law is good, but it cannot save us—only Jesus can. When we trust in Christ, we are released from the old way and brought into a new relationship with Him, one marked by freedom and fruitfulness. We now live by the Spirit, not the written code, and our lives begin to reflect God’s love through transformed hearts. This passage invites us to remember who we belong to and what that belonging produces. May you be encouraged as you consider the deep, unshakable truth that you are Christ’s—fully known, fully loved, and forever secure.
We explore the familiar parable of the prodigal son through the lens of shame, guilt, and the transforming love of our heavenly Father. Both sons in the story are lost—not just physically, but spiritually—revealing how easy it is for us to drift from God’s heart, even when we stay close to home. Our identity is not something we achieve but something we receive through Jesus Christ. God is not a disappointed Father waiting to scold us, but a loving Dad running to embrace us. Whether you're carrying shame like the younger son or striving like the older brother, this message invites you to come home to a love that celebrates your return. True freedom begins not when we perform for love, but when we finally rest in it.
Many of us know we’re forgiven — but still feel trapped in old patterns. In this message, we’re reminded that in Christ, we’re not just pardoned; we’re truly free. Sin no longer has the final say over our lives. Through union with Jesus in His death and resurrection, we’ve been given a new identity and a new power to live differently. God’s grace doesn’t just cover us — it transforms us. Come be encouraged to live in the freedom that’s already yours.
Who truly represents you — Adam or Christ? Paul shows us that all of humanity shares in the fall of Adam, but a new identity is offered through the obedience and grace of Jesus. This sermon unpacks the profound truth that our hope isn’t found in our performance but in Christ’s perfect work on our behalf. His victory becomes ours — not by effort, but by faith. When grace reigns, our failures don’t define us, Jesus does. Discover the assurance, freedom, and transformation that come from being in Christ.
What if being a Christian meant more than just being saved? In Romans 5:1–11, Paul reveals that believing in Christ gives us a whole new identity—marked by peace with God, access to grace, joy in suffering, and unshakable hope. You’re not just forgiven—you’re deeply loved, fully accepted, and eternally secure. Discover the rich benefits of your new life in Christ.
The key to growing in our faith—and standing firm against the attacks of the enemy and the brokenness of our world—is not more willpower, but deeper knowledge of God.In this powerful passage from Ephesians 1:15–23, the Apostle Paul shows us that knowing God is far more than accumulating facts or religious information. It's about entering into a living, experiential relationship with Him.Join us as we explore how this spiritual knowledge transforms our hearts, strengthens our hope, and opens our eyes to the riches of God's power at work in us.
We all want change. Healing. Wholeness. But sometimes, like Naaman, we're not sure we really want to be well—at least not on God’s terms. In this message by pastor Sihle Xulu, we journey with a man of status and success who discovers that true transformation comes not through influence, wealth or control, but through humble surrender and simple obedience. Could your healing be waiting on the other side of obedience? Dive in.
