Hillsong Africa Sermons

Looking at the early church in Acts, we can learn a lot from their successes and failures. We observe how they handled false teaching, demonstrated love and unity, particularly through prayer. We focus on what is the true marker of being a disciple and how we can work that out today.

What did Jesus want us to know after the resurrection?

When we read the bible as followers of Jesus Christ, we often see that they made mistakes in the Bible. When they got it wrong, we could see the impact had devasting consequences on communities worldwide. And when they got it right, we also see how much impact the stories had that they told about the teachings of Jesus, the life of Jesus, the birth of Jesus, the resurrection of Jesus and how much it impacted society throughout history. 

Even though we are flawed, we all have a stories to tell about Jesus. 

Join us for a very special message as we reflect on the moments Jesus went through leading to the cross.

Jesus is the way. Where does this come from? Jesus Himself? He says in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me." In the Greek it's translated in 2 ways. A literal translation is a way or a pathway but metaphorically, it means of manner of thinking, speaking, a manner of living behaviour and a way of life. So when we're looking at "Jesus is the way", this is what we are talking about. 

God is calling us to ascend. This year we are focusing on stepping into a divine partnership with God. That might require us to climb some mountains and go higher and ascend to the holy place. If we want to see what God wants to do in us, and if we want to see what God wants to do through us, we have to climb some mountains. We need to get quiet, be still and go to the mountain with God. 

BONUS EPISODE! We had the privilege of having Pete Portal with us in our PM service at Century City. It was such an incredible service that we had to share it with all of you.  So much of our world is upside down at the moment and it has started to confuse the boundary lines of our beliefs and where we stand as believers. We believe Pete shares important wisdom and truth to help us navigate our lives, to realign again and walk in truth. 

There are times in our lives when God speaks to us and promises us something and all we have to hold is the promise that he gave us. We're always excited to receive and see the promise come to pass, but what happens on the journey to the promise? And how can we keep God at the center of everything, and not make it all about the promise?

Sometimes we think a 'no' to the world is a 'yes' to God. We think a life of 'no' is constricting and confining, but could it release us into what God has for us? There's a 'yes' that God has for us. There's more that He has for us. There's a life that He has for us, a mission and a purpose.

This is a message for everyone who has carried a lot in 2023. It might have been carrying a lot at work, in your family life or dealing with the punches that life throws. Pastor Daniel shares a message that will help you set up 2024 better than any new year's resolution can. Why not share this with someone you think might need to hear it? 

It's Christmas Eve! Join us for a special service as we take a moment to reflect on the significance of Jesus coming into our world. The light and hope for all mankind.

This is the final message in our series 'Recognising The Times'. Pastor Wendy concludes the series by focusing on where we are going. What is heaven? What is hell? And who should we be telling, and how to do that.

This is the second message from our series "Recognising The Times", this is a helpful series that answer questions like: Why does Jesus need to return? When will it happen? What are the signs? How should we live? Who should we tell and where will we go?  When you look at what has happened over the last few years from Covid, to Ethnic tensions rising in nations across the world, increased natural disasters, wars - the world is definitely being shaken.  This series will help bring clarity and build your faith so that we can look at the future with hope. 

We are so excited to be launching a mini-series we are calling "Recognising The Times", this will be a helpful series that answer questions like: Why does Jesus need to return? When will it happen? What are the signs? How should we live? Who should we tell and where will we go?  When you look at what has happened over the last few years from Covid, to Ethnic tensions rising in nations across the world, increased natural disasters, wars - the world is definitely being shaken.  This series will help bring clarity and build your faith so that we can look at the future with hope. 

You have God-given potential. It's inside of you. And despite what may happen in your life, God wants to unlock that potential in your life. 

We all come into the world the same way, but as we grow older, life starts rubbing off on us or the people around us rub off on us - for better or for worse. We are influenced by the people who we find around us. So the question is, who are you sitting next to in life? 

In a world that is so crazy with so much going on, we're going to hear a message around, the Lord is my shepherd.

Many of us have faced fears in our lives, and many of us have faced giants in life. David faced one of the most well-known giants, Goliath, but he never looked at him with fear. He only looked at it through eyes of faith. Join us as we learn how to face our giants with eyes of faith. 

God is ready to do something new in your life. But what is holding you back? What is the thing that is stopping you from being able to move forward? We pray that as you listen to this message that God will speak to you right where you are at. 

Today we have the privilege of hearing from Chris Mendez, who leads Hillsong Church in Latin America. He is sharing an encouraging message on how to deal with labels that have been placed us and how to see ourselves through Gods eyes. What are you offering God today, your excuses or your obedience?

We had the privilege of having Tod Crews with us in Century City. He shared an encouraging message on what to do when you feel like you have too many unanswered prayers. We pray this encourages you.

Life is full of seasons and ups and downs. It's full of mountaintops and valleys. Have you ever tasted Jesus in His fullness? We believe that once you taste and experience Him in His fullness, you will see His consistency in your life. This message is about tasting and seeing the Lord's goodness and experiencing His fullness.

God has a plan for our finances. We can give every area of our life to him, and he also has a plan for this area - our finances. Today, we're going to be talking about the principle of tithing. And I want to encourage you, God has a plan for every area of your life, your finances, your future, your relationships. And so what happens when we bring our finances in line with his plans for us and His ways? 

There are so many opportunities for us to question things that have happened in our past, mistakes that we've made, things that happened to us, and things that happened in certain circumstances or events.

Are we on the same page as the intentions of the writers? Is God really the God who sees? The God who sees our pain and troubles? Dive deeper with us today as we have a look at some of these questions.

Are you currently in a difficult season of your life or facing an impossible situation? This message will encourage you that we serve a miracle-working God. We hope and pray that this message will lift your faith, inspire you, and know that God is working on your behalf.

Today we are talking about miracles and we are so expectant about what God is going to do. God - the One who brings miracles into motion. So often we can focus on the miracles, but today we are shifting our focus to God - the miracle worker, the One who makes a way when there seems to be no way. The One who turns impossible situations into ones we can give Him glory.

Thank you so much for tuning in today. We are continuing our series on Faith, Miracles and the Holy Spirit. Today, we're going to be talking about activating your faith. How do you live by faith? The Bible says we should walk by faith and not by sight. We pray that this message will encourage you, will inspire you, and equip you to be able to walk by faith day in and day out.

Today we are starting our series on Faith, Miracles & The Holy Spirit. Over the next 6 weeks we’ll be focusing on one of the topics. Pastor Jovahn Parenzee, from our Mitchells Plain location, share with us today around Faith. We are going to take a closer look at Ephesians 6 where the apostle Paul writes about us using Faith as a shield. God wants to equip us  to be able to step into the battle against the fiery thoughts of the enemy. The shield is there to help and protect us. But it's also helped to push back darkness.  How do you push back darkness by the word of the Lord?

Now is the season for the Body of Christ to rise up and lead. Full of the Spirit of God. Full of the passion of God. Whatever sphere you're in your mission and your mandate is to rise up and lead. Maybe you don't feel like you've got a calling, but God has a calling for your life. You’re called to serve him, You’re called to rise up. 

Thanks so much for joining us today. We are hearing a special Easter message from our lead pastor, Ps Phil Dooley, that we know will encourage and bless you. Enjoy!

We are so glad you've joined us for our Good Friday service! Daniel Malone is bringing the word today and he is talking about Calvary and the significance of Good Friday.

Today we're talking about sanctification. Getting free is the justification part, but staying free is the sanctification part. We are excited to unpack God's Word and dive deeper into how sin can entangle us and bring us back to where it wants us to be. But God has a better plan and He has a better way forward as we live in holiness. 

Hi there. Thank you so much for joining us today. We're about to hear an incredibly powerful message from our lead pastor from Hillsong Portugal, Pastor Mario Boto. He's going to be speaking about the benefits of an adversary. Enjoy.

Today we are hearing from Jeff Lestz as he shares his story of broke at 24 to millionaire at 31. He’ll be sharing some godly wisdom about how to steward our finances.

Have you ever wondered why Christians believe the things that they do? Well, today we are starting a series called Walk With Me, which looks at the fundamentals and the basics of what Christians believe as we journey towards Easter. In today's sermon, we're exploring this process by which God looks at sinners, those who are declared guilty, and takes them through a journey that finally ends with him declaring them not guilty. We pray that as you listen to this, that you learn a lot about what Christians believe, but also that God will speak to you personally.

Welcome to Hillsong Africa! Join us today as we hear from Pastor Phil Dooley around what the local outworking is of our Global Mission for 2023. Then Pastor Dan Malone will share around how we can practically get involved in one of those areas and the importance of church community.

We believe it will be the beginning of a new era for our church and also for you! Are you ready? Today we’ll be hearing from Ps Phil and Lucinda Dooley as they cast vision for the future of Hillsong Church globally.

Do you find yourself in a valley of decision today? Today Dan shares a message around discernment and how we can hear God's voice and know his will in specific situations. 

Do you feel like you are waiting for your new beginning to start? This Sunday, Ps Dan Malone is speaking about what the Bible says about what to do in the wait.

Today, we have a word for you, and we're going to talk about new beginnings. God is doing something new in us, a new beginning of expectation. And we believe God is going to speak to you. 

One of the things that hinder us from starting our new beginnings well is in the power of what we speak over our lives. How can you change your words, and does it really have such a big effect on our lives?

Often in life we face a whole lot of different situations and moments where we can overreact. We can give in to our emotions, give in to our anger. But today, I want to speak about how we can deal with overreaction and deal with emotions in a way that we can respond to situations rather than react.

We were so honoured to have Ps Jon Norman with us for the very first Sunday of 2023. He spoke an incredible message on how to overcome shame and being able to live in complete freedom.

Have you ever wondered how to manage betrayals, failures, insecurities and live in the fullness of what God has for you? Then check out this sermon on brave love for insights and practical tools on how to live in the fullness of your identity in Christ.

We're so glad you've joined us today at Hillsong Church in Africa. This is a very special and significant Sunday for us because we're going to be talking about the anointing, the anointing oil and what that means and what it represents in our lives. We are trusting, as you head from 2022 into 2023, that God's anointing is going to go before you, it is going to go behind you and it is going to bless you. Get ready and lets talk God's anointing for every single one of us.

The Church is meant to be counted as a community, a community that is deeply devoted to Jesus and to one another, and a community that demonstrates the love of God to anybody who encounters that community. Today we look at the story that is commonly known as a story about the Good Samaritan. As we unpack what it means to love our neighbour as ourself.

God invites us to partner with us to love humanity. He loves us so much all he wants to do is overwhelm us with his love. And in return, send us out to go and love a broken humanity. But sometimes we can find ourselves in seasons where we are so broken that we can almost be fearful. Today as part of our what’s love got to do with it series, we are coming around the topic of brave love and how God’s love for us can help us to overcome the fear of rejection, disappointment and hurt in our journeys of loving others.

Have you ever questioned your worth, your identity, or the price that Jesus paid for you on the cross? Today, through the story of Hosea and Gomer, we're going to be looking at the 'paid-in-full' price that Jesus paid for your life so that you could experience freedom. 

Have you ever wondered how you live as a Christian in a culture that is kind of different? Or maybe opposed to your faith? The Ephesians were dealing with that, and Paul writes a letter to them that gives them wisdom as to how to live in a world that is not really following Jesus. And ultimately that's what you and I are called to do.

A deep dive into the passage of Acts 17. What does the resurrection of Jesus really mean to you today? And can we really live a life free from idols?
