Growing up (maturing) in Christ Jesus
We’re into the second half of the Ephesians series and in this message Wally reveals 7 key principles from Eph 4:7-16 to accelerate your growth and maturing in Christ. Growth is on God’s agenda, is it on yours?
Reinventing bible stories
The highlight for me of day 2’s reinvent children’s conference was the examples of great storytelling (see example below).
The bible is full of great stories and they need to be communicated by great storytellers. I never want to be an average bible storyteller or bible communicator again! I need to suck the life out of [...]
Sharpening our lamb feeding
I’m in JHB with 6 energetic guys from our children’s ministry team for the “Reinvent Children’s Ministry Conference“. The conference starts tonight and I’m looking forward to all that God is going to do amongst us. I’m hugely expectant! Jesus said we must “feed the lambs“, so we’ve come to JHB to sharpen our feeding [...]
I did it my way…
God is an incredible Provider. We can trust Him. David said at the end of his life. “I once was young and now I am old, but I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread.” Ps 37:25. But the word “righteous” has always been a little mystical to me, so [...]
Values, Direction and Destination
Last night at our church equipping time we divided into groups to discuss the 5 magnificent pictures of the Church depicted in Ephesians; namely: family, building, body, bride & army. The goal was to identify biblical values we need to embrace. This exercise highlighted to me how the values you embrace determine your direction which [...]
Living Worthy of the Calling Received
We’re half way through the Ephesians series and it’s getting very weighty! Paul urges us in Hebrews 5:13-14 to become “skilled in the word of righteousness” by moving off milk and onto meat. This was a meaty sermon!
Spiritual Hibernation
Hi everyone. As winter sets in, let us not spiritually hibernate. Spiritual slumber has a high price. Many never wake up from it and when the heavenly groom comes, it’s too late because they don’t have oil! The experts say global warming is changing the world’s weather patterns, causing havoc around the world with either [...]

Overwhelmed by Love
Ephesians 3:20 has been a foundational scripture for key endeavors in my life. I’ve read, prayed and sung this verse many times but I’ve never heard it being preached in context as Wally did on Sunday. I’ve heard some preachers say that this next decade is going to be an Eph 3:20 decade. Those words [...]
Faith Buddies
The day after I read “WALL-E’s wonderings” (see LCC homepage) I listened to a message titled “I’m all alone” by Erwin McManus who leads a church called Mosaic in LA. Erwin expounds on what Wally had on his heart this week. I’ve made the message available below for easy download. Could it be that the [...]
