A 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.

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 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).

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?
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.
