Church
To the Ends of the Earth
On Sunday morning, 30 August 2026, Ps Phil Hunt preached from Romans 15:22-33. “To the Ends of the Earth,” calls the church at Kitwe to see gospel mission as the natural outflow of being justified by faith, using Paul’s example in Romans 15 to show that fulfilling God’s mission requires clear planning, genuine partnership, and persistent prayer.
Read MoreThe Servant Life of a Christian
On Sunday evening, 2 August 2026, Ps Simon Chilongoshi challenged us on what servanthood for the Christian looks like. He preached from Matthew 20:20-28 that true greatness in Christ’s kingdom comes not through seeking status or position, as the mother of Zebedee’s sons attempted, but through humble servanthood — following Jesus’s own example of coming “not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Read MoreA Liberty Greater Than Your Rights
On Sunday morning, 2 August 2026, Pastor Phil Hunt preached from Romans 14:13-24 on the issue of Christian liberty. Ps Phil showed that this passage argues that Christian liberty, though theologically grounded (all foods, all days are “clean”), must be voluntarily limited by love whenever exercising it could cause a weaker brother to stumble back into sin or grieve his conscience, since the kingdom of God is found not in eating and drinking but in righteousness, peace, and joy in the Spirit.
Read MoreTesting the Spirits
On Sunday evening, 26 July 2026, pastoral intern, Jolan Koekemoer, preached from 1 John 4:1-8. In this sermon, Jolan uses a story about buying two different cars — one thoroughly tested, one not — to illustrate that believers don’t need special training to discern true teaching from false; the Spirit who lives in them is sufficient to test it. He walks through John’s five tests for whether a message is truly from God.
Read MoreWelcome the Weak
On Sunday morning, 26 July 2026, Ps Phil Hunt preached from Romans 14:1-3. He calls us to welcome and accept fellow believers who are “weak in faith,” meaning immature or undiscipled Christians whose consciences lead them to different applications of Scripture on disputable matters, rather than judging them by one’s own cultural convictions or opinions.
Read MoreThe Debt You Must Pay
On Sunday morning, 19 July 2026, Ps Phil Hunt preached on Romans 13:8-14. He explained that Christians often mistakenly treat love as something that can be “settled” through a single act of kindness, when in fact Scripture calls for perpetual, self-sacrificing agape love toward believers, unbelievers, and even enemies. Because Christ’s return is near, believers must “wake up” from spiritual complacency and cast off sin rather than delaying obedience.
Read MoreThe 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.
Read MoreLove in Response to the Grace of God
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 MoreThe Cure for a Condemning Conscience
On Sunday evening, 28 June 206, pastoral intern Lewis Kasongo preached a sermon on 1 John 3:19-24. If you are a believer, but tend to struggle with a condemning conscience, this is the sermon for you. Lewis Kasongo outlines three cures to a condemning conscience.
Read MoreNo Spare Parts
On Sunday morning, 28 June 2026, Ps Phil Hunt preached from Romans 12:3–8. He challenged Kitwe Church to examine whether they are merely attending or actually functioning as members of Christ’s body. The main question is: If you quietly stopped attending, would your absence actually be felt — and are you using the gift God has given you, or just showing up?
