Hatfield Christian Church

In the beginning, heaven and earth overlapped. The Garden of Eden was alive with God’s presence. Though sin tore heaven and earth apart, Jesus came to bridge the divide, the true Temple in whom heaven and earth met. And now, through the Holy Spirit, we become living temples – carriers of God’s presence, eternity touching the everyday. Pastor Louis helps us look to the breathtaking promise of a new heaven and a new earth: creation fully renewed, radiant with God’s glory. Until that day, we who follow Jesus live as Spirit-filled, hope-filled people, and part of God’s unstoppable story of restoration.

No matter how dark the world seems, our hope in Jesus remains unshakable. He promised to build His Church – and He’s coming again. During this message, Pastor Louis uncovers what Scripture truly reveals about the future of heaven and earth, cutting through confusion and fear to help us rediscover the hope anchored in Christ’s return. The Revelation isn’t just about the end of days – it’s about the full unveiling of Jesus and His unstoppable Kingdom. Come ready to be reminded that for those in Christ, the best is yet to come. Let His Word steady your heart, renew your faith, and awaken fresh hope for what’s ahead.

As we continue our series, Pastor Louis turns to the unstoppable Gospel – the good news and the power of God for salvation and transformation. The Gospel changes hearts, communities, and nations, and it continues to move forward through every believer who dares to live and share it. Join us as we look at how to share this good news with clarity, boldness, and authenticity – living lives that reflect Jesus and trusting Him for opportunities to reach those around us.

Jesus declared, “I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.” Matthew 16:18 In this message, Pastor Louis looks at what it means for the Church to carry the keys of the Kingdom and to exercise the authority Jesus entrusted to us. Building on the previous message about God’s delegated spheres of authority, we’ll look at how these overlap in everyday life – with marriage as a powerful example of partnership between the four spheres of limited delegated authority. The Church has a vital Kingdom role: to proclaim the Gospel, uphold God’s truth, and dedicate every area of life, including relationships, family, and community, to His purposes. Come discover how the Church, God’s unstoppable people, participates in His unstoppable Kingdom.

God’s Kingdom has come and is coming – steady, growing and unstoppable.

Jesus calls His followers to an unstoppable mission: to make disciples of all nations, empowered by His authority and presence.

We live in a world where Pilate’s ancient question still echoes: ‘What is truth?’ (John 18:38). As we close our ‘Welcome In’ miniseries, discover with Neil Bester that truth is not just an idea or a set of facts – it is found in the person of Jesus Christ. Through His creation, His Spirit, His Word, and His people, God reveals the truth and invites us into a relationship of freedom and transformation. Join us as we explore how living in truth renews our minds, reshapes our lives, and empowers us to love in action.

Spiritual formation isn’t a once-and-done event. It’s a lifelong journey of becoming more like Jesus. In this message, Ben Pinches explores what true discipleship looks like, how to navigate seasons of doubt and challenge, and why spiritual practices are not the goal, but rather the pathway to deeper intimacy with God. From growing in faith and holiness to learning love in action, discover what it means to keep maturing as a disciple of Jesus in every season of your life. Together, let’s press on toward the fullness of life in Christ and His call to be part of the Great Commission.

What does it mean to truly know God, not just know about Him, but to walk in closeness with Him? In this message, Letichia Dlamini looks at Moses’s bold plea in Exodus 33: “If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here.” We’ll explore the difference between God’s promises and His presence, between religion and relationship, and between seeking God’s person rather than His power. Join us as we continue our “Welcome In” miniseries and discover what it means to live fully known and deeply loved by the God who invites us to be His own.

Spring is a beautiful reminder of new life, new seasons, and the joy of being one body in Christ. The theme of our annual Spring Celebration is “This is Hatfield!” – a multigenerational, multilingual, and multicultural gathering that reflects the heart of our church family. From Paul’s short yet powerful letter to Philemon, Pastor Louis helps us discover how the Gospel redefines status, relationships, and culture, and how each of us is called to be a fellow worker in God’s Kingdom.

The Christian life was never meant to be lived in our own strength. In this message, Pastor Louis explores the baptism of the Holy Spirit – God’s empowering gift that enables believers to live naturally supernatural lives on their frontlines. From creation to the ministry of Jesus, the Spirit has been at work and continues to move today. Discover who the Holy Spirit is, what it means to be baptised in the Spirit, and how the Spirit equips us to live as Christ’s witnesses, acutely aware of God’s Kingdom that has come and is coming.

Baptism is more than a ritual – it’s the doorway into belonging. In this message, Pastor Louis explores what baptism means, its origins, and why Jesus Himself was baptised. It’s a bold declaration of faith: dying to the old self, rising with Christ, and stepping into God’s family. Discover how baptism marks the beginning of true community and what it means to live in right relationship with God and others. Join us as we unpack the call to belong and look ahead to our next baptism service.

What does it mean for the Church to walk in Kingdom authority today? In this message, Luxolo Kentane wraps up our Faith Promise pledge season and explores how Jesus entrusts us, His followers, with the keys of the Kingdom – not for personal gain, but to declare the truth of Jesus’ authority over darkness, oppression, and sin. Through binding and loosing, prayer becomes the engine of Kingdom power, aligning earth with heaven. As we pray for heaven to come on earth and live surrendered lives, God’s will advances, lives are transformed, and His reign is revealed in our world.

What kind of marks are you leaving on the world around you? In this Sunday message, guest speaker Joy Blundell (Alive Church, UK) unpacks what it means to make Kingdom marks – leaving behind a legacy shaped by God’s presence, justice, healing, freedom, peace, comfort, and joy. Joy invites us to see how God’s people can influence communities, cultures, and nations – not through power as the world sees it, but by carrying the heart and mission of Jesus wherever we go.

Not everything that sounds spiritual is scriptural. In a world overflowing with podcasts, reels, TikToks, and teachings, how do we tell what’s true and trustworthy? In this Sunday message, Pastor Natasja unpacks a seven-sided biblical framework for discernment – tools to help you filter teaching through Scripture, theology, fruitfulness, and more. Don’t just scroll and consume. Learn how to discern.

What if contentment isn’t about what you have or don’t have – but who you’re walking with? In Part 2 of “The secret path to peace and joy”, Pastor Louis goes deeper into Paul’s message from Philippians 4. He reminds us that anxiety often stems from fear – fear of lack or fear of loss. But peace comes when we trust in God’s provision and walk in community with others. We’ll explore how generosity is a relational act, not a transaction. It’s not about giving to get – it’s about standing together in spreading the Gospel, just like the Philippians did with Paul. Their gift wasn’t just something material – it was meaningful, done with accountability, and full of joy. Join us as we continue to explore what it means to live a life unplugged from worldly dependence and deeply rooted in Christ.

How do you stay steady when life is uncertain? In Philippians 4, Paul writes while under house arrest with surprising confidence – he’s discovered the secret to real peace and lasting joy. It’s not in possessions, power, or control. It’s in contentment. The kind that comes from knowing who you belong to and trusting in God’s provision, no matter what. In this Sunday message, Pastor Louis explores what it means to live a life unplugged from worldly dependence and deeply rooted in Christ. Peace and joy aren’t far off – they’re found in the presence of Jesus.

Are you running on empty? In this honest and hope-filled message, Pastor Letsholo takes us on a journey with the prophet Elijah in 1 Kings 19 – a man who just faced a major spiritual victory, only to find himself drained, discouraged, and ready to give up. Sound familiar? Being battle weary doesn’t make you weak – it makes you human. But God meets us in our weariness with rest, reassurance, and renewal. We’ll explore how: ⚔️ Faith is refined ⚔️ Identity is defined ⚔️ Character is magnified ⚔️ Perseverance is amplified through the battles we face

Can burnout happen when you’re not doing too much, but too little? This Sunday, Pastor Louis delves into a surprising form of burnout: under-challenged burnout – a slow fade of motivation, purpose, and joy that happens when life feels too monotonous, when you’re not stretched or stirred. Drawing from Judges 6-8, we explore the story of Gideon, a reluctant leader who doubted his capacity but discovered what God could do through him when he stepped into divine challenge. In this message, we’ll unpack:
