Vision Sunday - Standalone Sermons

About this episode

Gareth reaffirms the church's mission defined by Jesus' commands, emphasizing reliance on the Holy Spirit for a global mandate.

In this "Vision Sunday" sermon, Gareth reaffirms that the mission of the church is defined solely by Jesus’ final commands in scripture rather than human strategy. Drawing from four biblical accounts, he identifies the church as a people of presence and peace, shaped by the Word, and sent on a "glocal" mission. A key highlight is the expansion of the church's mission statement to include "filling Stellenbosch and the world" with the life of Christ. Gareth concludes by emphasizing that this global mandate is impossible without a total, daily reliance on the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit.
