Unite180 with David Grobler

“Faithfulness is the foundation of stewardship.”

In this message, Pastor David Grobler continues the series on the “-ness” of the Christian life, focusing on faithfulness. Paul teaches in First Corinthians that what is required of a steward is not success or status — but faithfulness. Everything we have has been entrusted to us by God: our time, relationships, gifts, and responsibilities. Faithfulness is not something we simply claim; it is something found in us over time through consistency, integrity, and reliability. Before God entrusts more, He looks for faithfulness in what we already carry.

A sluggard is habitually lazy. Work is not a result of sin. Instead, God is pleased when we work with a spirit of excellence. Sluggards have excuses, never finish what they start, and are wise in their own eyes. We should be disciplined to plow in season without excuses so that we will not be like a rotating door, busy but not going anywhere. As Christians, we should have the fear of God in us to not be lazy.

“Faith doesn’t wait for clarity — it learns to see differently.”

In this message, Pastor David Grobler teaches that faith is not about physical sight or visible evidence, but about spiritual perception. “I see” is not a statement of circumstance — it’s a declaration of trust in what God has already spoken. This sermon unpacks how believers are called to live from God’s perspective, not their situation. Often God is already at work, but our limitation is not His activity — it’s our vision. Faith learns to see what God sees, even when nothing around us has changed yet. When we live by faith, we stop reacting to what is visible and start responding to what is true. Spiritual sight is formed in obedience, trust, and alignment with God’s Word — not in certainty or control.

“Faith isn’t trusting God when life makes sense — it’s trusting Him when it doesn’t.”

In this message, Pastor David Grobler unpacks the tension of living by faith when God feels silent, justice feels delayed, and circumstances don’t add up. Drawing from the book of Habakkuk, he shows that faith is not denial, hype, or blind optimism — it is deep trust in God’s character when His ways are hidden. Habakkuk brings honest questions to God, and instead of being rebuked, he is invited into a bigger perspective. God does not remove the tension immediately, but He anchors His people in one unchanging truth: “The just shall live by faith.” This sermon challenges the idea that faith means quick answers or immediate relief. Instead, it calls believers to remain rooted in God when life is unresolved and outcomes are unclear.

"You Are Not Being Fixed, You Are Made New"

In this powerful message, Pastor David Grobler unpacks the life-changing truth of the old life versus the new life in Christ. This sermon challenges the idea that Christianity is about self-improvement or behaviour modification, revealing instead that salvation is a complete change of reality, realm, and identity.

Using Scripture, Pastor David explains that the old self is not being repaired, healed, or upgraded — it has passed away. In Christ, you are already a new creation, relocated from darkness into the Kingdom of God. The struggle many believers face is not a lack of effort, but living from an old perspective instead of a new reality. The question isn’t whether you are trying hard enough — the question is whether you are living from who you already are in Christ.
