One Hope Church Stellenbosch

This sermon explores how the gospel shapes the church's response to sin within its community. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 5, it highlights a shocking case of sexual immorality in the Corinthian church and their arrogant, ungodly response to it. The sermon emphasizes that sin is not a private matter and affects the entire church body. It outlines a biblical approach to dealing with unrepentant sin, stressing the importance of grief, removal from fellowship for the sake of the individual's spirit, and maintaining the purity and witness of the church. The message distinguishes between disassociating from worldly sinners and holding believers accountable, ultimately aiming for restoration and holiness within the church family.

Spiritual Wisdom - 1 Corinthians 2:6-16. In this passage, the apostle Paul continues his call for unity in the church by showing that true wisdom is found in the message of the cross. In this sermon, Johannes unpacks the difference between human and Godly wisdom, exploring both the natural and spiritual aspects of how we understand truth. He reminds us that as mature believers, we are called to reflect unity grounded in God’s wisdom—a wisdom that can only be revealed by the Holy Spirit.

In this powerful message from 1 Peter 2:4-12, Stephen unpacks God’s marvellous plan to build a remarkable people - His church. God is building His church with unremarkable and diverse people who were once not a people at all, but are now all people connected to Jesus, the cornerstone. Through the gospel, God transforms those previously called “not my people” into His treasured possession, clothed in mercy and proclaiming His glory.
