In this sermon, Bates emphasizes the "One Thing" that truly matters: the singular pursuit of Jesus Christ as our ultimate source of rest and purpose. He explores how this focus transforms three specific areas of our lives. First, he addresses how we find peace when we are in trouble, shifting our gaze from the storm to the Savior. Next, he speaks to the restlessness in our hearts, showing how intimacy with God settles internal anxieties. Finally, he discusses how the "One Thing" changes us while serving, ensuring our ministry flows from love rather than duty.

In this "Vision Sunday" sermon, Gareth reaffirms that the mission of the church is defined solely by Jesus’ final commands in scripture rather than human strategy. Drawing from four biblical accounts, he identifies the church as a people of presence and peace, shaped by the Word, and sent on a "glocal" mission. A key highlight is the expansion of the church's mission statement to include "filling Stellenbosch and the world" with the life of Christ. Gareth concludes by emphasizing that this global mandate is impossible without a total, daily reliance on the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit.

In this compelling sermon Sarah explores the profound nature of God as our Savior and the intentionality behind His rescue.

This sermon emphasizes that salvation is both a one-time event and a daily reliance on His strength to navigate life’s trials. Listeners are challenged to surrender their self-sufficiency and find ultimate security in the finished work of Christ.
