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. 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.

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.

Europe Sunday | Pastor Thabo Marais
On Europe Sunday, Pastor Thabo brings a powerful and faith-stirring message titled “Step Up, Step Out & Step Into” calling every believer to move beyond comfort and into their God-given calling. Rooted in the Great Commission (Matthew 28) and empowered by the promise of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8), this sermon challenges us to step into new seasons with bold obedience, step up in spiritual maturity and responsibility, and step out in courageous faith to proclaim Jesus to the nations. Through the contrast between Saul’s fear-driven hesitation and Jonathan’s fearless trust in God (1 Samuel 13–14), we are reminded that God is looking for hearts fully surrendered to Him. As a chosen people called to make Him known (1 Peter 2:9), we are invited to live with diligence, love, and obedience, trusting that God is working all things together for good as we follow Him wholeheartedly. -------------------------------------- ABOUT US We believe that we are called to make a difference in the world that we live in.

Step Into Your God-Given Potential | Pastor Thabo Marais
We are in the sermon series "Step up, Step out, Step into" Part 02 What makes you truly grow? 🌱 In this message, we explore spiritual growth through letting go of old ways, embracing gratitude, and stepping into community. Growth means to G.R.O.W.—Get Rid of Old Ways, leaving behind habits, mindsets, and influences that hold you back (John 8:44; Isaiah 14:12-15). We discover the power of TEAM—Together Each Achieves More, as God calls leaders to equip the body of Christ so every believer can mature and thrive (Ephesians 4:11-13). Spiritual growth also comes through consistent fellowship, encouragement, and serving others with love, following the example of Jesus (Hebrews 10:25; Matthew 20:28; Galatians 5:13). This message challenges you to step into your God-given potential, grow in faith, and live a life that glorifies Him.

Are you prepared to Step Up, Step Out, Step Into?| Pastor Thabo Marais
We are in the sermon series "Step up, Step out, Step into" Part 01 Step up, step out, and step into your God-given destiny! 🌟 In this powerful message, we explore how everything we need for life and godliness has already been deposited in us through God’s divine power (2 Peter 1:3-4). God’s plans for us are filled with hope and a prosperous future (Jeremiah 29:11), inviting us to step into new roles and seasons, step up to higher levels of responsibility and action, and step out of safety into faith-filled risk. Just as Nicodemus learned, entering God’s kingdom requires a rebirth—a supernatural transformation that allows us to live fully in His power and purpose (John 3:1-7). With Jesus’ authority leading us (Matthew 28:18-20), we are equipped to embrace His promises, walk boldly, and experience the fullness of the life He has prepared. -------------------------------------- ABOUT US We believe that we are called to make a difference in the world that we live in.
