This past Sunday at Reconciliation Road Church, Prince preached from Haggai 1:1–9. He showed that the Israelites and we have much in common: both struggle to keep our priorities in the right order. Prince reminded us that when we focus on the work God has called us to do, God brings order to our lives. Too often we wait for life to feel settled before serving Him, but Haggai teaches the opposite—when we put God's purposes first, He takes care of the rest.

A very special Ordination Sunday here at Reconciliation Road Church, where we had Gareth Bowley preach from Haggai 2.From the Scripture, we were encouraged by the story of the Israelites rebuilding the House of God and the ups and downs of that journey.Gareth helped us to see how we all have a part to play when the Lord calls His people to work.

This week, we had Nozipho Dhlamini speak to us from 1 Corinthians 6 on the topic of "Working Out Gospel-Centred Sexuality."Nozi challenged us to see and faithfully follow what the Word of God says about sex and our bodies, rather than following what the world says.

This week we had Nathan preach from 1 Corinthians 13, giving us a wider view of the highly quoted Scripture. He helped us understand that as believers, love is the highest goal!Through God's Word, Nathan showed us that the Lord wants us to love one another and prioritise that above any gifts that we may have.

This past week at RRC we had baptisms! As a Gospel-centred community, we believe that baptisms are an incredibly beautiful & powerful moment in the life of a Christ-follower.Building off of Romans 6:3–4, Prince laid a wonderfully sober foundation for this moment, giving us a better understanding of what this step of faith means.

A special episode — we had Gareth Bowley come and speak to RRC’s leadership teams, encouraging us in how to work well within our different teams!In two sessions, Gareth gave us a biblical foundation for teams, pointing to the Trinity as the ultimate team and showing us that teams are actually God’s idea. He also shared practical tips on how to work within the dynamic nature and complexities that often come with teamwork.

Prince Blom kicked off our 1 Corinthians series this week, speaking to us about how the divisions in the church of Corinth can look quite similar to the divisions in our modern-day churches.He encouraged us to fight for unity and look to Jesus, the One who is the ultimate leader.

At RRC this past Sunday, we had Gareth Bowley, a beloved guest preacher from One Hope Church, come and share with us a sermon on "The Spiritual Discipline of Lament." Based on Psalm 77, Gareth gave us four practical steps that prompt us to see God as the One who can help us best in our times of trouble.

This week, we had Kenan Naicker, a guest speaker and well-known face here at Rec Road Church, share an incredible message with us titled, “What King will you follow?”Rooted in 1 Samuel 22, he challenged and encouraged us to look to Jesus, our ultimate King, and follow Him, regardless of what our current circumstances may be.

Rooted in 1 Corinthians 15:1–19, Prince Blom brought us an incredible word on the truth that Jesus Christ has indeed been risen from the dead.Prince helped us to see that in a world saturated with unbelief, we as Christ followers can know that Jesus’ death and resurrection hold true even in the face of unbelief.
