Don’t Let Age Hold You Back | Pastor Thabo Marais
We are in the sermon series "Invasion - The Second wave of Love" Part 06 Do Not Say That You Are Too Young Age is not a limitation—it’s an opportunity for God to move powerfully through your life. In this message, we break down the lie that you have to wait until you’re older, more experienced, or more “ready” before God can use you. In Book of Jeremiah 1:7, God speaks clearly: “Do not say, ‘I am a youth.’” When God calls, He doesn’t consult your age—He looks at your obedience. Through the life of Samuel in First Book of Samuel 3, we see a young boy learning to hear the voice of God and respond with a willing heart: “Speak, Lord, for Your servant hears.” This is the posture God is looking for—not perfection, but availability. This sermon will encourage and challenge you to: • Embrace your calling, no matter your age • Learn to hear and respond to the voice of God • Refuse to let others—or yourself—limit your potential • Step into boldness, purity, and purpose As written in First Epistle to Timothy 4:12, we are called to set the example—in word, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity. You are not just the next generation—you are this generation, chosen and appointed by God. God knew you before you were formed (Jeremiah 1:5). He has already placed purpose, gifts, and calling inside of you. The question is—will you respond? This message is a call to rise, to listen, and to act. You are not too young. You are called. Now is your time. -------------------------------------- ABOUT US We believe that we are called to make a difference in the world that we live in. At CRC we strive to stimulate growth in our members through relevant teaching, passionate worship, loving care and small group interaction (homecells), by releasing members to function in their gifts and talents and by encouraging them to reach out to others. If you are looking for a church where you can experience love and where you can fulfil your God-given potential, we trust that you will find a home at CRC.

Take the Gospel to the World | Pastor Thabo Marais
We are in the sermon series "Invasion - The Second wave of Love" Part 05 Invasion – Called to Represent Heaven What does it truly mean for God’s kingdom to invade the earth? An invasion is not passive—it is a forceful entrance to take possession. In this message, we uncover how heaven is not retreating, but advancing. God’s desire is for His glory to fill the earth, just as it says in Habakkuk 2:14—covering everything like the waters cover the sea. Through Jesus, we are not just saved—we are transformed. As written in 2 Corinthians 5:17–20, we are made new creations and entrusted with a divine mission: the ministry of reconciliation. We are now ambassadors for Christ, called to represent heaven on earth and carry His message to the world. This sermon will challenge and equip you to: • Understand your identity as a representative of Christ • Step into your calling as an ambassador of heaven • Carry the message of reconciliation with boldness • Live with purpose, knowing you are sent We also explore the 5-fold invasion essentials every believer must walk in: • Prayer • Fasting • Giving • Soul winning • Disciple making The early church demonstrated this powerfully—Acts 6:7 shows how the Word of God spread rapidly, transforming lives and entire communities. Jesus Himself prayed in John 17 that we would be sent into the world just as He was. That means we are not here by accident—we are on assignment. You are called. You are entrusted. You are sent. This is more than a sermon—it’s a call to rise as a true ambassador of Christ and take your place in God’s advancing kingdom. The invasion is here. Will you represent Him? -------------------------------------- ABOUT US We believe that we are called to make a difference in the world that we live in.

Take the Love of God Everywhere | Pastor Thabo Marais
We are in the sermon series "Invasion - The Second wave of Love" Part 04 Invasion – A Second Wave of Love What if God’s love wasn’t just something you experienced once—but something that invades, transforms, and takes over your entire life? In this message, we explore what it means for heaven to invade earth through the person of Jesus Christ. An invasion is a forceful entrance to take possession—and while the enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy, Jesus declares in Gospel of John 10:10 that He came to give us life more abundantly. This is the second wave—a powerful move of God’s love that doesn’t just visit, but dwells within us. Through Gospel of John 1:14, we see that the Word became flesh and lived among us—God Himself stepping into humanity. And according to First Epistle of John 4:8, God is love. His love is not passive—it invades, heals, restores, and sets us free. This message will help you understand: • What it means to be born again through the living Word • How God’s love is perfected in us, giving us boldness • Why truth brings freedom and removes condemnation • Your role in carrying this invasion to the world We also unpack the 5-fold invasion essentials for every believer: • Prayer • Fasting • Giving • Soul winning • Disciple making As Epistle to the Romans 10:14 reminds us—people cannot believe unless they hear. This is our call. We are not just recipients of God’s love—we are carriers of it. The earth will be filled with the knowledge of His glory (Habakkuk 2:14), and that move starts with us. This is more than a message—it’s a call to step into a life where God’s love invades every area and flows through you to reach others. The invasion has begun. The question is—will you carry it? -------------------------------------- ABOUT US We believe that we are called to make a difference in the world that we live in.

Invasion: The Second Wave of Love | Pastor Thabo Marais
We are in the sermon series "Invasion - The Second wave of Love" Part 01 Invasion – A Second Wave of Love Jesus said in Gospel of John 10:10 that the enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy—but Christ came so that we may have life, and life more abundantly. In this powerful message, we explore how the love of God invades a broken world and transforms hearts. An invasion is a forceful entrance to take possession. While the enemy seeks to invade lives with destruction, God launches a greater invasion—an overwhelming wave of divine love that rescues, restores, and reigns in the hearts of His people. Through the truth of Gospel of John 3:16–17, we see that God’s mission was never condemnation, but salvation. His love invades from above through the new birth, flows through the waters of baptism, and ultimately fills our lives as we become the temple of the living God. This message also unpacks the three ways the Kingdom invasion takes place: • From above – being born again • Through the waters – baptism • Into our lives – Christ dwelling within us As believers, we are called to carry this invasion forward. According to First Epistle of Peter 2:9, we are a chosen generation and a royal priesthood called out of darkness into His marvelous light. Discover the five essentials of Kingdom invasion: • Prayer • Fasting • Giving • Soul winning • Disciple making Jesus declared in Gospel of John 20:21, “As the Father has sent Me, I am sending you.” The love of God is still invading lives today—and now we are the ones sent to carry that message to the world. This sermon will challenge you to surrender your heart, receive God’s transforming love, and step into your mission to bring His Kingdom wherever you go. The invasion has begun. And it starts with love. -------------------------------------- ABOUT US We believe that we are called to make a difference in the world that we live in.

Born Again but Still Stuck? | Pastor Thabo Marias
We are in the sermon series "Step up, Step out, Step into" Part 09 In this powerful conclusion to the series “Step Up, Step Out, Step Into,” Pastor unpacks why some believers grow and walk in their God-given purpose while others stay stuck—despite being born again, Spirit-filled, and under grace. Using the contrast between “Alberto” and “Danny,” he shows how the power of choice, a giving heart, and obedience determine whether we truly step into all God has prepared for us. Drawing from Hebrews 12 and real-life examples of faith, he exposes how bitterness, self-centred living, and modern-day idolatry trap believers and defile their walk, and how the grace of God and the Holy Spirit empower us to be free, to give, and to live fully for Jesus.

Finishing What God Started | Pastor Thabo Marais
We are in the sermon series "Step up, Step out, Step into" Part 08 Here is a compelling YouTube sermon description based on your notes: Faith That Obtains | Grace-Filled Generosity “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” – Hebrews 11:1 What does it mean to have a faith that doesn’t just believe… but obtains? In this message, we unpack the power of biblical faith through Epistle to the Hebrews and Second Epistle to the Corinthians. Scripture tells us that by faith the elders obtained a good testimony — they acquired, reached, and succeeded in what God promised. Faith is not passive. Faith moves. Faith gives. Faith acts. Through the example of the churches of Macedonia, we discover: • Joy can abound even in affliction • Generosity is not determined by abundance • Grace empowers us to give beyond our ability • True giving begins when we first give ourselves to the Lord • We are called to excel not only in faith and knowledge — but in generosity This message challenges us to examine our hearts. Are we excelling in grace? Are we completing what God started in us? Or have we allowed bitterness, distraction, or compromise to cause us to fall short of grace? Faith that obtains is faith that surrenders. Faith that obtains is faith that gives. Faith that obtains produces a testimony. If you’re ready to grow in unstoppable faith and grace-filled generosity, this message will encourage you to step into the fullness of what God has called you to reach. -------------------------------------- ABOUT US We believe that we are called to make a difference in the world that we live in.

If you knew....| Pastor Thabo Marais
Open House - If you Knew “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven!” – Genesis 28:17 Open House is more than an event — it’s an invitation. In this powerful message, we explore what it truly means to encounter the presence of God and discover that His house is not a place of condemnation, but a place of love, salvation, and hope. Through the words of Jesus in Gospel of John and the promises declared in Epistle to the Romans, we are reminded: • God’s love is not distant — it is demonstrated • Nothing can separate us from the love of Christ • Jesus did not come to condemn the world, but to save it • Though sin separates, grace restores • There is salvation in no other name but Jesus We unpack the meaning of perish and condemn — and reveal the heart of the Gospel: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. No matter your past. No matter your mistakes. No matter how far you feel from God. This is a house of hope. This is a gate of heaven. This is your invitation to believe. “For I know the plans I have for you…” – Jeremiah 29:11 Join us for Open House and discover the future, freedom, and salvation found only in Jesus Christ. -------------------------------------- ABOUT US We believe that we are called to make a difference in the world that we live in.

When God Calls You Forward | Pastor Thabo Marais
We are in the sermon series "Step up, Step out, Step into" Part 04 Step Up, Step Out & Step Into is a powerful call to move from comfort into calling. In this message, we discover what it really means to step into a new season, step up in responsibility, and step out in faith. Through Scripture and the story of David, we are reminded that faith is not passive—it acts, obeys, and advances God’s purpose. As believers, we are called to be witnesses, to make disciples, to proclaim Jesus boldly, and to pursue His purposes with courage. When we choose to step out of the old and into the new, God empowers us to obtain what He has promised and to live a life that brings Him glory. -------------------------------------- ABOUT US We believe that we are called to make a difference in the world that we live in.

What Really Makes You Grow? | Pastor Thabo Marais
We are in the sermon series "Step up, Step out, Step into" Part 03 In Part 2 of What Makes You Grow?, we go deeper into what it truly means to grow as a believer — not just in knowledge, but in character, commitment, and Kingdom impact. This message unpacks the GROW principle (Get Rid Of Old Ways) and the power of TEAM (Together Each One Achieves More), showing how spiritual growth is fuelled by prayer, devotion to God’s Word, faithful church life, serving others, giving generously, and living for something bigger than ourselves. From becoming real disciples to raising up new leaders, this sermon challenges us to move from comfort to responsibility, from spectators to builders, and from self-centred faith to Kingdom-first living — so that our lives can truly reflect the heart, purpose, and power of God.
