True North Church is a multicultural, urban community of faith that finds its foundation in Jesus and lives out the countercultural requirements that He makes of His adherents. We are a church for all people from all walks of life that have decided to make Johannesburg their home. We are... ....a church that is Reflective, in that we desire to be reflective of the community around us but also our country; ....a church that is Relevant to the people and community around us with the message of the Gospel; ....a church that is Responsible in how we teach God’s Word but also in being salt and lig
As we come to the end of our Foundations series, we turn to the tragic ending of King Saul. A man who started with so much promise, yet whose life was slowly undone by disobedience, fear and a heart that drifted further and further from God. In 1 Samuel 31, we are challenged to examine the foundations of our lives, the decisions we make, and the ripple effects they have on those around us.
In 1 Samuel 30, David finds himself at one of the lowest points of his life. Ziklag has been burned to the ground, his family has been taken captive, and his own men are talking about stoning him. But in the middle of this devastation, David finds strength in the Lord his God.
How are we to navigate seasons when God seems silent? How do we remain faithful when we are waiting for answers?
In Psalm 46, we discover an “even though” kind of faith, a faith that holds on to God even when life is shaking. God does not promise that we will never face chaos, but He reminds us that He is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
What do we do when life doesn't go according to plan? In Luke 8:22–25, Jesus and His disciples find themselves in the middle of a fierce storm. The disciples are afraid, overwhelmed, and asking a question many of us have asked at some point: “God, don’t you care?”
In David's attempt to find safety outside of God had provided, David was led down the path of compromise, deception, and eventually a dangerous double life.This message explores how fear and weariness can shift our focus, how compromise can become bondage, and how we can find ourselves returning to the very “Gaths” God has already rescued us from.
As we celebrate the richness and diversity of our South African heritage, we are reminded that in Christ, God has given us a new heritage, one that brings people from different cultures, languages and backgrounds together as one family.
What do we do when life doesn’t give us a clear-cut answer?In 1 Samuel 25, David is angry, Nabal is foolish, and Abigail steps into the middle of a situation that could have ended in tragedy. What begins as a story about greed, insult and revenge becomes a powerful picture of wisdom, discernment and God’s grace.This passage reminds us that life is rarely as simple as right and wrong, and we need more than intelligence or strength to navigate its complexities. We need the wisdom that comes from God.
What happens when what we have begins to have us?In 1 Samuel 25, we meet Nabal, a wealthy man whose possessions have become so central to his life that he can no longer see the people around him. Jesus tells a similar story in Luke 12 through the parable of the rich fool.In this message, we look at how greed can make fools of us promising that more will finally satisfy us, while isolating us from community and ultimately leading us toward judgement.
What do you do when you know what God has called you to, but your present reality looks nothing like the promise?In this message, we explore the “already but not yet” season of purpose, the gap between what God has promised and what we can see.
