A preview of next Sunday's message, "That I May Be Found in Him"- how our New Creation in Christ answers all our core identity issues!

17/08/2026

Sermon summary from Sunday, 16 August. The message explores what it means to be “made sufficient” through Paul’s contrast between law and grace in 2 Corinthians 3. While legalism produces condemnation and a sense of inadequacy, grace reveals that believers are accepted and made sufficient through God’s work in their lives. Godly behaviour and victory flow from our identity; they do not create it. People tend to act according to who they believe themselves to be. True transformation comes through the Holy Spirit, not human effort. As “living letters,” Christians can confidently fulfil their purpose when they understand that their sufficiency come from God.

Gideon’s Faith
“The Lord looked at him and said, ‘Go in this your strength and deliver Israel from the hand of Midian. Have I not sent you?’ He said to Him, ‘O Lord, how shall I deliver Israel? Behold, my family is the least in Manasseh, and I am the youngest in my father’s house.’ But the Lord said to him, ‘Surely I will be with you, and you shall defeat Midian as one man.’” —Judges 6:14–16

Gideon’s life shows us how faith grows. Gideon was living under Midianite oppression. After enduring it for so long, he had begun to see himself, his nation, and even God through the lens of fear and hopelessness.
Then the Angel of the Lord appeared. He called Gideon a “mighty warrior” and chose him to deliver Israel.
Gideon’s faith began to grow as he discovered who God truly was. God was not distant or unconcerned. He saw His people’s suffering, and He cared. He was their “very present help in trouble” (Psalm 46:1). This personal revelation of God’s character was the foundation of Gideon’s faith.
Faith grows as we come to know the One who made the promise. Scripture tells us that “faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ” (Romans 10:17). But strong faith must also be grounded in a genuine relationship with God.
We discover God’s nature through His Word and His creation. Consider creation’s beauty, order, and extraordinary detail. Would the God who cares so deeply for His creation take any less care with your life?
You can trust Him.
When we understand God’s love, His heart toward us, and the way He sees us, our faith becomes firmly established. Even in difficult circumstances, we can remain secure because we know He cares and is faithful.
Faith is not faith in a set of principles. It is a strong belief in the One who made the promises. We should never become so focused on doing the “works of faith” that we forget the Author and Perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2).
This week, ask the Lord to show you how He sees you. Take time to listen to what He is saying about your situation. As you fellowship with Him, your faith will become firmly rooted in His love.
What a wonderful God He is—and He is your God!

What does it mean, "To Walk, by Faith"?
2 Corinthians 5:7 — “For we walk by faith, not by sight.”
This beautiful verse sits right in the middle of Paul’s message that, although we live in a fallen world and experience its decay, because of the Holy Spirit and the life of God within us, we can live powerful, effective lives pleasing to God.
We live these victorious lives through faith. When we learn to walk by faith and not by sight, Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 5, we live with bold cheerfulness. We can be cheerful because we know that no matter what we face, we win!
So, what do we do with this precious faith that God has given us?
As we go through life, we always have a choice about how we are going to walk and live. We can live by sight—what we see in the natural, our own strength, abilities, and resources—or we can live by faith—by what God has said and promised in His Word.
Are we going to walk by what we see and feel?
Or are we going to walk by faith?
We are called to follow the path that is guided by what God has said about us. This is how we are called and empowered to live. This is how we live lives that are pleasing to God.
What we believe about God and His promises is what we speak.
“Since we have the same spirit of faith… we also believe and therefore speak” (2 Corinthians 4:13).
Even when we do not feel like it, speaking what God has said is an act of faith. We choose to walk by faith. We speak with purpose, the promises of God as being ours.
Remember, our feelings do not have to define the outcome - we walk by faith.
I encourage you this week to follow what God has said in His Word, because we walk, speak, and live by faith—not by what we see or feel.

How Do We Respond to People in Our Church Who We Believe Are Struggling?
There is a concerning trend among some Christians toward "exposing" those who are struggling or who have stumbled.
These are our considered thoughts on how we might respond — with grace and wisdom — to people in our church community whom we believe may be living in ways that aren't honouring God.
It helps to begin with how the New Testament defines sin. Romans 14:23 tells us that "whatever is not of faith is sin." In other words, sin is less about a checklist of actions and more about what people believe — about God, about themselves, and about others. Seen this way, our first response to someone who is struggling is not correction, but encouragement: building faith in what God has already done for them and in them.
The New Covenant also reminds us that "the strength of sin is the law" (1 Corinthians 15:56). While the Law exposes sin, it has no power to change us from the inside. We are not called to be ministers of the Law, but ministers of the New Covenant of grace. Law-centred responses tend to produce shame, causing people to withdraw from fellowship — and from the very grace that other believers are meant to offer. Lasting change comes through grace and the work of the Holy Spirit, not through guilt, shame, or condemnation (Romans 3:20; Romans 8:1–4; Galatians 3:24).
The New Testament holds up love, grace, restoration, and faith-filled righteousness as our goal — not the exposure or criticism of fellow believers who are struggling. Where a concern does need to be raised, Jesus gently instructed that it should begin privately, then involve one or two mature believers if needed, and only reach the wider church in cases of persistent, unrepentant conduct (Matthew 18:15–17). Public correction is therefore rarely appropriate and is generally reserved for serious, ongoing situations that put the spiritual well-being of the whole community at risk (1 Corinthians 5:1–13; 1 Timothy 5:20).
With this in mind, we are encouraged to approach one another with the same grace we ourselves have received from Christ. Those who are "spiritual" — that is, those who walk in the Spirit and understand God's grace — are entrusted with the tender work of restoration. This must always be done with humility, gentleness, and a clear awareness of our own frailty (Galatians 6:1–3).
The New Testament holds truth and grace together — indeed, grace as truth. We are called to respond to one another in ways that reflect love, extend forgiveness, and point people towards the transforming power of grace and the righteousness found in faith. This is the heart of Christ himself, who came not to condemn the world, but so that the world through him might be saved (John 3:17; James 5:19–20; 2 Corinthians 2:6–8).
The church, then, is called to be a community of grace — a place where every believer can find healing, restoration, and a renewed sense of belonging.
