Children’s address, with Rev Nobuhle Sibanda:
👩🏫 JUNIOR CLASS👨🏫
John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
Good morning friends hope you all had a wonderful week.
We learn from the above verse that God loved the world so much that he gave us his only Son Jesus. This tells us that whoever has love must learn how to give. We must never be selfish with whatever that we have. Sharing is Caring.
Those who love God must love others as well. As the song says, love is not love until it is given away….
I trust that from today we are going to learn how to love others and treat them with respect, also remember to share whatever that we have been blessed with.
Today’s task:
Please draw a big heart ❤️. Inside the heart write names of those people you love, when you are done you can put the drawing somewhere visible. It will be a reminder that we must love others as we were loved ourselves by God. After drawing and filling in the heart you can share with everyone. Hope you will enjoy the task. God bless you all, we love you and God loves you more.
👨🏫SENIOR CLASS👩🏫
Good morning friends, we hope you all had a blessed week.
As we grow up we must understand that our lives are in God’s hands. He [God] is the author and the finisher of our faith as the Bible says. He is faithful enough to take care of us as His children. We shall do a task that will help us understand more about this God who is faithful.
Today’s Task:

Bible readings:
Psalm 114
1 God brought his people out of Egypt,
that land with a strange language.
2 He made Judah his holy place and ruled over Israel.
3 When the sea looked at God, it ran away,
and the Jordan River flowed upstream.
4 The mountains and the hills skipped around like goats.
5 Ask the sea why it ran away
or ask the Jordan why it flowed upstream.
6 Ask the mountains and the hills
why they skipped like goats!
7 Earth, you will tremble,
when the LORD God of Jacob comes near,
8 because he turns solid rock into flowing streams
and pools of water.
Exodus 14
19 All this time God’s angel had gone ahead of Israel’s army, but now he moved behind them. A large cloud had also gone ahead of them, 20 but now it moved between the Egyptians and the Israelites. The cloud gave light to the Israelites, but made it dark for the Egyptians, and during the night they could not come any closer.
21 Moses stretched his arm over the sea, and the LORD sent a strong east wind that blew all night until there was dry land where the water had been. The sea opened up, 22 and the Israelites walked through on dry land with a wall of water on each side.
23 The Egyptian chariots and cavalry went after them. 24 But before daylight the LORD looked down at the Egyptian army from the fiery cloud and made them panic. 25 Their chariot wheels got stuck, and it was hard for them to move. So the Egyptians said to one another, “Let’s leave these people alone! The LORD is on their side and is fighting against us.”
26 The LORD told Moses, “Stretch your arm toward the sea – the water will cover the Egyptians and their cavalry and chariots.” 27 Moses stretched out his arm, and at daybreak the water rushed toward the Egyptians. They tried to run away, but the LORD drowned them in the sea. 28 The water came and covered the chariots, the cavalry, and the whole Egyptian army that had followed the Israelites into the sea. Not one of them was left alive. 29 But the sea had made a wall of water on each side of the Israelites; so they walked through on dry land.
30 On that day, when the Israelites saw the bodies of the Egyptians washed up on the shore, they knew that the LORD had saved them. 31 Because of the mighty power he had used against the Egyptians, the Israelites worshiped him and trusted him and his servant Moses.
Romans 14
1 Welcome all the LORD’S followers, even those whose faith is weak. Don’t criticize them for having beliefs that are different from yours. 2 Some think it is all right to eat anything, while those whose faith is weak will eat only vegetables. 3 But you should not criticize others for eating or for not eating. After all, God welcomes everyone. 4 What right do you have to criticize someone else’s servants? Only their Lord can decide if they are doing right, and the Lord will make sure that they do right.
5 Some of the LORD’S followers think one day is more important than another. Others think all days are the same. But each of you should make up your own mind. 6 Any followers who count one day more important than another day do it to honour their Lord. And any followers who eat meat give thanks to God, just like the ones who don’t eat meat.
7 Whether we live or die, it must be for God, rather than for ourselves. 8 Whether we live or die, it must be for the Lord. Alive or dead, we still belong to the Lord. 9 This is because Christ died and rose to life, so that he would be the Lord of the dead and of the living. 10 Why do you criticize other followers of the Lord? Why do you look down on them? The day is coming when God will judge all of us. 11 In the Scriptures God says,
“I swear by my very life
that everyone will kneel down and praise my name!”
12 And so, each of us must give an account to God for what we do.
Matthew 18
21 Peter came up to the Lord and asked, “How many times should I forgive someone who does something wrong to me? Is seven times enough?”
22 Jesus answered:
Not just seven times, but seventy-seven times! 23 This story will show you what the kingdom of heaven is like:
One day a king decided to call in his officials and ask them to give an account of what they owed him. 24 As he was doing this, one official was brought in who owed him fifty million silver coins. 25 But he didn’t have any money to pay what he owed. The king ordered him to be sold, along with his wife and children and all he owned, in order to pay the debt.
26 The official got down on his knees and began begging, “Have pity on me, and I will pay you every cent I owe!” 27 The king felt sorry for him and let him go free. He even told the official that he did not have to pay back the money.
28 As the official was leaving, he happened to meet another official, who owed him a hundred silver coins. So he grabbed the man by the throat. He started choking him and said, “Pay me what you owe!”
29 The man got down on his knees and began begging, “Have pity on me, and I will pay you back.” 30 But the first official refused to have pity. Instead, he went and had the other official put in jail until he could pay what he owed.
31 When some other officials found out what had happened, they felt sorry for the man who had been put in jail. Then they told the king what had happened. 32 The king called the first official back in and said, “You’re an evil man! When you begged for mercy, I said you did not have to pay back a cent. 33 Don’t you think you should show pity to someone else, as I did to you?” 34 The king was so angry that he ordered the official to be tortured until he could pay back everything he owed. 35 That is how my Father in heaven will treat you, if you don’t forgive each of my followers with all your heart.
Today’s message in English, with Mrs Betty Ncube:
Psalm 114:1-8 I greet you all in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. Let us pray. Our Heavenly Father, we thank you this morning for the greatest gift of life which you have given with love to each and everyone in this world. May you forgive us as we learn to forgive others for it is in pardoning that we are also pardoned Lord. Our Heavenly Father may our hearts be open for the word you are about to give us as we remember your cross and sacrifice. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
Our Bible readings today come from Exodus 14:19-31, Romans 14:1-12 and Matthew 18:21-35.
Our theme says:- DONT JUDGE OTHERS. Our Psalmist David says God works Wonders. And Paul in Romans 12:1 says, “I beg you dear friends to present yourselves as a living sacrifice, pure and pleasing to God” God gave Israel in olden days the opportunity of becoming a Kingdom of priests. Sometimes God gives us great opportunities of serving Him but we tend to forget this and go our wicked ways. Yet His word says there shall come the day of judgement. Meanwhile, fellow Christians, lets not entertain each other by judging others. It is not our place, it is not our work, the day will come not for us but for God the Creator of all to judge us. In Exodus 14 we meet Moses the obedient servant of God. The Egyptians wanted the Israelites to be their slaves. In other ways it wasn’t an easy task for Moses to lead the Israelites. But through his believing and listening to God’s instructions somehow Moses managed to pull through with the Israelites. This was so because he very much relied on the Lord, Moses managed to console and assure his people even at a time they thought it was pointless to move forward. But they never turned back, tough as it was. Sometimes we think light is only available during the day. Yet during Moses journey God provided light in the form of a cloud at night. To us a cloud indicates rains. But to the enemy, the Egyptians, God provided darkness making it difficult for them to catch the Israelites because they could not move their chariots. The Lord does not show himself to his obedient children or servants only, He truly visits those that are in the dark as well, to show His power. The Egyptians experienced hell as they pursued the Israelites. At one stage they felt God was on the Israelites’ side. The word says their chariot wheels got stuck and could not move further. Sometimes we force ourselves into some situations which God has already put an end unto but we keep on moving till we get ourselves into trouble. Thus we start judging others!! What I like about the Egyptians in this scripture is that after all the struggle with the Israelites there came a moment when they realized God’s presence, they realized He was in control in favour of Moses and his followers. They were quite sure that the Israelites would not cross the Red Sea , so they would catch them. Little did they know that the strong wind that blew from the east all night was meant to dry up a part in the sea paving way for the Israelites to cross the Red sea. With a wall of water each side the Israelites walked through on dry land. Using their own power, the Egyptians tried to follow Moses and his people , but God looked down upon them from the fiery cloud and made them panic. Soon after the miraculous crossing of the Red sea by the Israelites, the Egyptians also tried to follow but their chariots got stuck and could not move. As we read from the Word of God in verse 25b, mind you these are the Egyptians talking to one another, it says, “Let’s leave these people alone! The Lord is on their side and is fighting against us”. This was very true. They were fighting against God and not Moses and his people because Moses was a man of God. Beloved Christians, judging others or criticising others will not do good to us because we are fighting a battle against God and we will never win. Let us faithfully present our bodies to the Almighty. Let us learn to be one body and not church members of BG, Hillside, Nketa and Matopo societies but members of Christ’s Body. Whether we are in the dark or light, we all still belong to God. I urge you Christians not to criticise or judge others, judging is for God, the day will come. It’s not for us. One way or another, those who are in darkness today, will one day call His name and praise Him as their God. His hands are open to everyone who believes in Him. At times we brag about our earthly positions, I say only the foolish can boast because they don’t know where these positions came from. But wise people will always thank the Lord for every possession they have, every position they hold because they know it’s a blessing from God. The word of God also talks about an official who could not forgive after being forgiven. He got what he deserved. The King ordered him to be tortured until he paid back everything he owed. All the same, the Egyptians got their price, a thick one, for troubling the Israelites. God led them to be swept away by the Red Sea and they all perished. Church of God, let us always remember that everyone is God’s creation and He purposefully created us. So please let us not look down upon each other. Let us accept each other as we are. God has a purpose for each one of us, not just here in church but in the entire world. God always has something great for you to do for Him. So let’s not judge others as they work in church and in communities. It is their call. May I conclude by saying:- The Bible is for us to read. As we read it, we will be encouraged about what God can do for us the same way He has done for the people we read about. These scriptures are as modern as they are ancient and God’s promises are just as valid for us today as they were for the Israelites who crossed the Red Sea on dry land thousands of years ago. Our faithfulness and obedience to God will change our lives for the best. May the Lord God be with you all now and forever more. Amen.
May the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Love of God and the Fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us all now and forevermore. Amen!!
Today’s message in Ndebele, with Dr Themba Hwalima:
Theme:
Singaze sehlulelana.
Don’t judge others.
Siya bingelelana bazalwane e gameni lika Jesu Khristu i Nkosi yethu ezi khathini ezi nzima esi phila kuzo. Kuvele aka zange atsho u Somandla ukubana unga kholwa kuye umlandele impilo yakho izakuba lula. Lithi ilizwi kholwa kimi ulethe inhlupho zakho zonke ku Jehova ngizaku qinisa ngiku nike amandla lesi bindi sokuzi thwala inhlupho zonke zalo umhlaba.
Uthi u Jesu Christu ku John 16, verse 33 “Ngikhulume lezizinto kini, ukuze libe lokuthula kimi. Emhlabeni lizakuba lenhlupheko; kodwa manini isibindi, mina ngiwunqobile umhlaba.”
Masizi sondezeni ke e Nkosini ngazo zonke izikhathi bazalwane.
Asi khulekeni:
Baba Nkululu Somandla, mdali we zulu lo mhlaba; siyaku bonga siku dumisa ngalolu usuku osi nike lona. Siyaku bonga ukuthi usi nike leli i thuba ukuthi siku dumise, sikukhonze; si phakamise i gama lakho ngoba ufanele Jehova. Siyaku dumisa dwala la phakade sithi woba lathi ngalesi isikhathi nxa singena enkonzweni yethu. Sithi thela u moya wakho oyi gcwele ezi nhliziyweni zethu, siyaku cela Jehova ukubana usi bhabhathize ka kutsha ngoko moya oyingcwele, usinike amandla evangelini lakho. Si phakulele Jehova wama bandla ilizwi lakho eli philisayo, u qinise u kholo lwethu. Sethule Jehova imi thwalo esi sindayo usi silise izifo ezisi thwalisa nzima ezi mpilweni zethu. Siphe izi bindi dwala laphakade ukubana singa nxegi ekholweni lwethu noma siphakathi kobu nzima ezimpilweni zethu. Khuluma lathi dwala laphakade sikulalele. Egameni lika Yise, lele Ndodana lelika Moya oyigcwele siya khuleka.
Amen
Izi fundo zethu za lamhla sizi thatha ku Zihlabelelo 114, Exodus 14: 19-31, Romans 14: 1-12, Mathew 18: 21-35.
Omunye lo munye makazi balele singa fika e magumeni ethu.
Isi qokoqela sesi fundo sethu salamhla sithi “Singaze sehlulelana.”
“Don’t judge others.”
Mina lapha ngiza gxila kuMpostoli uPaul ekhuluma labase Roma. Lamhla ukhuluma lathi u Mpostoli u Paul.
Isifundo sethu lesi esithi “Ungaze wehlulela abanye”, “Don’t judge others” ngesi lungu; ngifuna ukusehlukanisa kabili. Okokuqala sizakhangela ukuthi uMpostoli uPaul uthini ngendaba yokwe hlulela abazalwane.
Ngiza phetha isifundo sethu ngathi khonapha egumeni, ngawe lami mzalwane sengisithi ke mina ungacatshi ngomunwe mzalwane.
Kwa base Roma 14 uMpostoli uPaul ufundisa nge ndlela yokuphathana ebandleni. Usi fundisa ngendlela yoku phatha ababuthakathaka e kholweni aba phakathi kwethu.
Ubuya njalo afundise ngoku phila laba tshiyana lathi kumbe ngithi ababona indlela yempilo ngamehlo atshiyana lawethu.
U hlupho lapha luyi kuthi sonke nje, omunye lomonye wama lunga ebandla uzibona engcono kulomunye. Omunye lomunye wethu uzibona ezwisisa impilo ngcono kulabanye. Sengi sitsho wona umbhalo siwu zwisisa ngendlela ezitshiyeneyo. Lowo lalowo uzibona eqinile ekholweni ukudlula umzalwane ohlezi duze kwakhe. Sizi bona singa makhristu agcono ukudlula udadewethu kumbe umnewethu.
Babe njalo labayi zolo. Babe njalo labase Roma, labase Corinte labase Jerusalema. Yikho u Paul waze waku bona kusweleka ukuthi akhuze amalunga e bandla lase Roma. Waku thola sokusweleka ukubana aba bhalele incwadi athi ake lizi hlole bazalwane.
Yikho lalamhla ibandla liku thola kusweleka ukuthi sifundisane nge ndaba yoku solana lokwe hlulelana.
Uthi u Paul bakhona abanye phakathi kwethu ababu thakathaka ekholweni. Ubabona ngendlela ezinengi ezehlukeneyo. Ube ususuka ke wena utshone usumnyeya umzalwane, utshone usuhlabela ngobu thakathaka bakhe ematiyeni. Utshoneke usuhlabela ngaye kubomanyano, kubo MCU, ezinkonzweni lakho konke othola khona ithuba.
Uyasi khuzake njalo uyasi nxwayisa uMpostoli uPaul uthi hatshi Mkhristu, hatshi mzalwane. Mayuyu. Uyehluleka nxa usenza njalo. Kayisiwo umsebenzi wakho lowo mzalwane. Umsebenzi wama khristu esiwu phiwa ngu Jehova yiku qinisana ekholweni lwethu. Umsebenzi esiwu phiwa nguSomandla yikusekelana ebunzimeni ngazo zonke izikhathi.
Ungangezeleli ubuthakathaka bukamakhelwane ngoku meyisa mzalwane. Ungazibona usehluleka ukuxhokola umzalwane ophakati kobunzima kwezo kholo, othwele nzima ngezomhlaba; yazi ukubana lawe uyehluleka. Ungazibona usehluleka ukuncedisa umzalwane osindwa ngezomhlaba yazi ukubana uyehluleka njengo mkhristu. Sukuma mzalwane, sondela kwabehlulekayo ngokwenza langomkhuleko.
Uthi uMpostoli uPaul abanye sehlulela abazalwane ngoba bethanda izinto esingazithandiyo thina. Siyabasola abanye ngobasithi badla ukudla okugcolileyo. Abanye siyabasola ngoba sithi benza izinto ezingamelanga zenziwe ngumkhristu. Abanye siba solela izembatho zabo. Sithi thina sigcono njalo sazi gcono. Zinengi bazalwane kazipheli esisola abanye ngazo.
Uthi u Paul tshiyanani lakho lokho ukuzi bona linga makhristu agcono kulabanye ngoba umbono wabo utshiyene lowenu. U Jehova ka khangelanga oku bonwa ngabantu, ukhangele okukungaphakathi. U Jehova ukhangele okuse nhliziyweni hatshi okubonwa nguwe. U Somandla ukhangele okuse moyeni hatshi lokhu ozihlupha ngakho wena okwenyama.
Tshiyana lakho ukwehlulela umakhelwane mzalwane ngoba phela kakho ohamba emhlabeni ogcwele. Litshonjalo ilizwi. Kakho ogcono kulomunye bazalwane phambi kuka Jehova. Sonke nje siyi zoni sidinga uku hlanzwa nge gazi lika Jesu Khristu si sindiswe.
Ukwehlulela ngokukaNkulunkulu ozasehlulela sonke munyelamunye ngosuku olwaziwa nguye umnikazi. Owakho umsebenzi mkhristu yiku bamkela abafitshane ekholweni mzalwane. Owakho umsebenzi yikubaqinisa ababu thakathaka ekholweni mkhristu. Yebo mzalwane bakhe ubasondeze ku Jesu Khristu abe hlulekayo.
Tshiyana loku sebenzela u sathani u diliza ibadla ngoku sola abanye, ngokweyisa abanye lapho othe wathola khona ithuba nje. Owethu umsebenzi makhristu yikwamkelana, si sekelane, siqinisane ebunzimeni lase bunandini ngazo zonke izikhathi.
Imfundiso ka Jesu Khristu icacile bazalwane nxa sifunda umbhalo ngokuzi nikela langokuzi misela. Kodwa bakhona abanye aba gangileyo abazithi banga makhristu abasuka badlale ngombhalo bagange ngawo.
Uzabezwa besithi umkhristu akumelanga ayehlulele omunye. Bathi akumelanga ubone isono somunye nxa ungumkhristu. Nxa belahleka, be phambanisa, besona; beduka bathi amanye ama khristu kawa khangele eceleni enze engathi kawa boni okwenzakalayo.
Kayitshonjalo intshumayelo yalamhla mzalwane. Labo ngaba catsha ngomunwe bona besephula ilizwi le mfundiso ka Jehova.
Kawu tshonjalo umbhalo bazalwane. Katsho njalo uJesu Khristu. Ma sikhubeka, sisiwa kumele sivusane. Uma siphambuka endleleni ka Khristu lembhalweni kumele siqondisane. Nxa sisona kufanele siqondisane sibuyisane.
Ungaze wathi wena nxa abazalwane bekwe luleka, bekuqondisa; beku tshumayeza uqinise ikhanda usithi wena mzalwane awula lungelo lokungisola.
Silalo ilungelo lokusolana, silalo ilungelo loku qondisana; silawo umsebenzi wokufundisana, silawo umsebenzi woku tshumayezana. Unga catshi ngomunwe mzalwane usola abaku qondisayo. Unga viki ilizwi mzalwane malisethulwa phambi kwakho.
Unga dondi mzalwane ukumqondisa umakhelwane usithi uzakuthi kawula lungelelo lokungehlulela.
Uthi uMpostoli u Paul ku 1 Corinthians 5:11-13 singaku meli ukuganga ebandleni. Singavumi ukuphanjaniswa ngabagangileyo ebandleni. Kumele sibe luleke, sibaqondise aba lahlekayo.
Uyatsho njalo uMpostoli u Paul uthi labo abasi dukisa emfundisweni kaJesu Khristu sibananzelele singaba vumeli ukuthi basidukise basikhiphe elizwini lika Nkululu.
Umasengi phetha ngithi akazange atsho u Khristu ukubana sibamele aba phambanisayo. Aka zange atsho ukubana sibekele abadukayo besona besiya phambili sisithi umkhristu kayehluleli omunye. Lokho yiku catsha ngomunwe bazalwane sibalekela okumele sikwenze njengama khristu.
Uthi u Jesu Khristu ku Mathew 18, indima 15 usiya ku 18: “15 Kodwa nxa umfowenu ekona, hamba umsole phakathi kwakho laye lilodwa. Uba ekuzwa, umzuzile umfowenu;16 kodwa uba engakuzwa, thatha abe munye kumbe babe babili kanye lawe futhi, ukuze lonke ilizwi liqiniswe ngomlomo wabafakazi ababili kumbe abathathu;17 njalo nxa esala ukubezwa bona, tshela ibandla; uba esala ukuzwa lalo ibandla, kabe njengowezizwe, lomthelisi kuwe.”
Yebo mzalwane, owakho umsebenzi njengomkhristu yikwakha amanye amalunga ebandla hatshi ukuwa diliza. Owethu umsebenzi bazalwane yikwakha ibandla hatshi ukuli diliza. Kasikumeli uku phambanisa. Asikumeli ukona. Kodwa kasibe hluleli abazalwane. Kasiba dukisi abazalwane sibawisa evangelini ngoku basola.
Ye! bazalwane, singa sebenzi ukwehlulela abanye sibawisa evengelini. Kumele siqinisane ngazo zonke izikhathi ekholweni lwethu. Kodwa lokhu akutsho ukuthi kumele silandele izigangi lezigijimi zika sathani ukuthi zisi phambinise zisidukise evengelini lekholweni lwethu.
Engathi u Jehova angasi qinisa ekholweni lwethu ngazo zonke izikhathi, engathi uMoya oyigcwele angabalathi, asikhokhele, asivikele ngazo zonke izikhathi.
Amen
