The flight from Egypt (Mtt. 2:13-15)

2013-05-28
By: RCSA southern suburbs
On: 28 May 2013
In: Doctrine of God, Doctrine of salvation, Preaching, Theology of the cross

[Sermon audio found here.] We all love a good story, don’t we?  Stories capture our imagination and draw us into their world.  Often we identify very closely with the characters, places and events that we find in them.  Not only do we digest the facts about the story, but weContinue Reading

The child born in the City of David

2013-05-21
By: RCSA southern suburbs
On: 21 May 2013
In: Doctrine of God, Doctrine of salvation, Preaching, Worship

[Sermon audio here.] If you want to convince someone to believe something, you need to start by proving that it is true.  When it comes to the Bible, the truth-claims could not be more staggering.  Arguably Matthew’s biggest burden in his gospel is to prove that Jesus is indeed theContinue Reading

Marketing the church

2013-05-18
By: RCSA southern suburbs
On: 18 May 2013
In: Christian Life, Doctrine of the church, Worship

One of the distinctives of the best of the Reformed tradition is to be counter cultural when it comes to the life and ministry of the church.  This means that the church does not adopt the strategies of the world in order to be “successful” and its does not gaugeContinue Reading

On: 15 May 2013
In: Uncategorized

It is an evening for all, including kids and those who feel like they have no culture!  It will be a time to hang out and have some good laughs together.  The cocktail part will be some finger foods to nibble on and your choice of drink, which can beContinue Reading

Jesus is the son of David and of God

2013-05-13
By: RCSA southern suburbs
On: 13 May 2013
In: Doctrine of God, Doctrine of salvation, Preaching, Theology of the cross, Worship

[Sermon audio here.] One of the ways that a good book or a good movie keeps us engaged is by creating tension or anticipation.  Oftentimes the close of chapter or an episode leaves us wondering what will come next, especially if it ends with some twist or turn in theContinue Reading

Getting the story right: the People's Post?

2013-05-08
By: RCSA southern suburbs
On: 8 May 2013
In: Resources

In the most recent issue of the People’s Post, dated May 7, 2013, a story was published on the RCSS entitled “New Chu[r]ch bells are ringing.”  This exposure of the church plant is of great concern to the Reformed Church Bellville council, which is overseeing the church plant.  This isContinue Reading

Jesus is Israel's (our) Royal Redeemer (Matt. 1:1-17)

2013-05-08
By: RCSA southern suburbs
On: 8 May 2013
In: Doctrine of salvation, Preaching, Theology of the cross, Worship

[Sermon audio here.] Theme: Jesus is the royal fulfillment of Scripture as our Savior from sin The Bible cannot be read just like any book.  We do not have the liberty to make the Bible say whatever we want it to say.  Instead, Scripture has one unified message of salvationContinue Reading

The way of wisdom and the way of folly

2013-04-29
By: RCSA southern suburbs
On: 29 April 2013
In: Christian Life, Doctrine of God, Doctrine of salvation, Preaching, Worship

[Sermon audio found here.] Theme: The fear of God produces wisdom that leads to salvation. Are we to fear God as Christians?  Is fear compatible with faith and love?  Weren’t OT believers the only ones to fear God?  Besides, those were the days of Moses and the exacting laws ofContinue Reading

Salvation through suffering (Is. 52)

2013-04-23
By: RCSA southern suburbs
On: 23 April 2013
In: Christian Life, Doctrine of God, Doctrine of salvation, Preaching, Theology of the cross

[Sermon audio here.] Most of us have at some point in our lives been shocked and appalled at the suffering in this world.  You drive past the mangled body on the side of the road.  Your neighbour is beaten to near death for his cell-phone.  Another helpless girl is gang-raped. Continue Reading
