  • [Jesus, Our Sabbath Rest E03] "Rest Through Trust" by Apostle Russell Toohey
    2025/08/17

    Discover true rest by learning to trust in God. In this morning's sermon, Apostle Russell Toohey explores how to find rest for your soul and spirit through unwavering trust, drawing from key scriptures like Proverbs 3:5-6 and Isaiah 26:4.

    The sermon highlights that finding Sabbath rest requires "radical trust," using Abraham as the ultimate example of a life lived by trusting God beyond understanding, even when facing a call to sacrifice his son, Isaac. We will learn to "commit all your ways to Him" and acknowledge God in every aspect of our lives, as He promises to direct our paths and lead us in "the way everlasting". Apostle Russell Toohey also looks at how Jesus, in his final moments, entrusted his spirit into the Father’s hands, providing the ultimate model for living and dying in complete trust.

  • [Jesus, Our Sabbath Rest E02] "Memorisation of the Word" by Apostle Russell Toohey
    2025/08/15

    In this sermon, Apostle Russell Toohey delves into the theme of finding rest through meditating on God's Word. The sermon opens by addressing the destructiveness of unresolved anger, noting that "unresolved, out of control anger is one of the most deadly destroyers of marriage and family". The core of the message focuses on the practice of meditating on scripture. This practice is rooted in the Hebrew tradition, where the word for "meditate," hagah, implies a vocalization or speaking of the words aloud to internalize them. This is contrasted with Eastern meditation, which is an inner journey to find one's center, while Christian meditation is "the concentration of the mind/heart upon an external Revelation."

    The sermon also introduces Lectio Divina, a form of meditative prayer that involves:

    1. Silence: Preparing to communicate with God.
    2. Reading: Slowly reading a passage of Scripture aloud.
    3. Meditating: Chewing on the words and making connections.
    4. Prayer: Using the passage as an outline for prayer.
    5. Contemplation: Waiting in stillness for God to reveal how to apply the passage.
    6. Living it Out: Making notes on how to apply the passage to your life.

    Ultimately, the message emphasizes the power of God's Word to bring rest and change history, just as it did for the young Samuel.

  • [Jesus, Our Sabbath Rest E01] "Our Sabbath Rest" by Apostle Russell Toohey
    2025/08/15

    In the sermon "Jesus, Our Sabbath Rest," Apostle Russell Toohey explores how Jesus provides rest from the anxiety, terror, and worry that are prevalent in the world today. The sermon highlights that the world's system of work and rest can create "captivity and pain," similar to the slavery of the Israelites in Egypt. Christian salvation, like the liberation of the Jews from Egypt, should bring freedom from this "worldly work-rest slavery bondage." Ultimately, the sermon concludes that Jesus is our "true and permanent Sabbath Rest". He fulfilled the law that no one could completely obey, providing rest from the unsuccessful striving to overcome sin. Through his "precious blood," Jesus provides forgiveness and freedom from "shame guilt and condemnation".

  • [Jesus, Desire of All Nations E02] Missions Focus by Apostle Russell Toohey, Ps Edward Harris and Missionaries Hennie & Katie
    2025/08/15

    In this message, Apostle Russell Toohey unpacks Abraham’s radical obedience to God’s call, leaving comfort, culture, and compromise behind to fulfill a mission that would bless the nations. Drawing parallels to our own callings, he reminds believers that the greatest blessings are found in submission to God’s purpose - not in staying safe. Through testimonies from Pastor Edward Harris, missionary stories (from Hennie & Katie van Loggerenberg), and biblical insight, the call goes out to surrender fully and step into the mission field - whether across the street or across the world.

  • [Jesus, Desire of All Nations E01] "Jonah-Style or Jesus-Style" by Apostle Russell Toohey
    2025/08/15

    In this sermon, Apostle Russell Toohey challenges believers to examine whether their approach to God’s mission mirrors Jonah’s reluctance or Jesus’ obedience. Through Scripture and practical examples, he contrasts the self-preserving, comfort-clinging “Jonah-style” with the surrendered, sacrificial “Jesus-style” that embraces the Father’s will at any cost. Listeners are called to abandon fear, prejudice, and disobedience, and to step boldly into God’s redemptive plan for the nations.

    2025/08/15

    In this sermon, "Jesus Blazing Fire: King's Kids Ablaze," we explore the importance of setting children on fire for Christ. The sermon begins by comparing the Olympic Torch to the "Greater Commission" of carrying the fire of Christ, a commission meant for everyone, not just a select few. The sermon stresses the importance of igniting this passion in children, as those who are "set on fire as children are most likely to keep the fire throughout their lives".
