The Christian and Civil Government
On Sunday morning, 12 July 2026, Ps Phil preached from Romans 13:1-7. He argues that all civil authority—however corrupt or inefficient it may seem —is ultimately established and governed by God Himself, who raises up and removes rulers according to His sovereign purposes. Ps Phil urges believers to pay taxes and show respect without resentment, to pray for their leaders by name, and to trust that God sees every injustice and will hold every authority accountable in the end.

On Sunday morning, 5 July 2026, Ps Sunday Phiri preached from Romans 12:9-21. He explained that Paul calls believers to respond to God’s grace and mercy not with mere words but with genuine, sacrificial love — the kind God showed by giving His Son, expecting nothing in return. He identifies three responses: how we should love (genuinely, without hypocrisy or pretense), what we should love (holiness and purity, fleeing evil rather than tolerating it), and whom we should love (fellow believers, through encouragement, generosity, hospitality, and shared joy and sorrow — and even our enemies).

Read MoreGod’s Will: A Transformed Life
On Sunday morning, 14 June 2026, Ps Phil Hunt preached a sermon on Romans 12:1–2, where he calls Christians to respond to God’s abundant mercy by presenting their entire selves to God as a living sacrifice — not as a command, but as the only reasonable act of worship for those who have truly grasped what God has done for them in Christ. He then warns against being “conformed” to the values and thinking of the world, and instead urges believers to undergo a deep internal transformation through the daily renewing of their minds by God’s Word and Spirit. The fruit of this consecrated, transformed life, he concludes, is a discerning mind capable of recognizing and embracing God’s will — which is always good, acceptable, and perfect.

As Christians we are called to love like Christ, yet it is an impossible task without Christ. He also gave some examples of how we can truly, with the help of God, love one another sacrificially.

He explained that God’s plan was never derailed by Israel’s rejection of Christ; that Gentile inclusion was always God’s universal purpose from the very beginning, not a Plan B; and that there is still a future hope for Israel, whose broken branches God has the power to graft back in through faith.
