Finding Refuge in God - General Preacher - (Sunday 13 July 2025) by Christ Church Midrand

In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 4, we are reminded that true Christian leadership is marked by humility, service, and faithfulness—not worldly success or popularity. Paul challenges the pride of the Corinthian church and calls believers to judge leaders by God's standards, not cultural ones. The message highlights the contrast between the apostles' suffering and the Corinthians' desire for triumph, exposing the danger of bringing worldly values into the church. We are called to embrace the wisdom of the cross, understanding that the path to glory often comes through struggle and endurance. This sermon is a powerful call to reject pride and follow Christ in humble, faithful obedience.

This sermon explores the radical message of the Sermon on the Mount, where Jesus redefines what it means to be truly blessed in God's kingdom. It emphasizes that the Christian journey begins with recognizing our spiritual poverty and mourning over sin, leading to a life of meekness and a hunger for righteousness. The message challenges listeners to reject self-made kingdoms and submit fully to Christ as King. True satisfaction, it teaches, is not found in worldly success or pleasure, but in pursuing God’s righteousness. It is a call to deep repentance, authentic discipleship, and wholehearted devotion to the King who alone can satisfy the restless soul.

This sermon unpacks Psalm 51, a heartfelt confession by King David that reveals the true nature of sin—not just as wrong actions, but as deep rebellion against God. It explores how sin distorts our purpose and separates us from our Creator, yet God’s mercy is greater than our greatest failures. With honesty and humility, we are invited to bring our brokenness to God, who does not despise a contrite heart. The message points to Jesus as the ultimate fulfiller of Psalm 51, offering forgiveness and restoration through His sacrifice. It's a powerful call to stop hiding behind guilt or self-effort and to receive the cleansing grace only God can give.
