Hidden Treasures

Loss of Finances
with Hennie Cronjé

This Friday is The Exchange as we continue with our series, Hidden Treasures. Hennie Cronjé will be talking on the topic, Loss of Finances.

We serve a mighty God who is able to do much more than we could ever ask or think. However, as Christians, we’re not exempt from difficulty and disaster. If we were it wouldn’t be natural as we still live in the natural (but fallen) world.

But it would also be unlike God not to care.

Several factors can lead to financial difficulty – such as losing a job, sickness or business strain. Many have been through these times of darkness and many are still in the process of going through them. At times it may feel as if there is no possible way out.

Fortunately that’s not true. In these dark times there are treasures to be found. On Friday, we’ll look to uncover some of these treasures and find our way through the darkness.

You can also now download André Botha’s talk at last month’s Exchange, Hidden Treasure in Times of Temptation.

On Sunday we launched our new site, Cornerstone Church Rosebank at the Rosebank Scout Hall. It was a fantastic morning with lots of visitors and a great celebratory atmosphere. There were jumping castles for the kids and many people in the community indicated how happy they were that we’re now in Rosebank. One couple has even been waiting since December for the launch.

Here are some quotes from people that were there on Sunday:

“It was a great vibe; great response. I’m very excited about what’s going to happen there.” – Nick Wienand

“It was such a peaceful. joyful time, and there was lots of excitement in the air. Marcus preached from Luke 4 and it was fantastic. Jesus is led by the Spirit into the desert and then returns in the power of the Spirit and starts his ministry. It was raw Gospel and all about living Jesus to the world, overcoming the devil and living by the Spirit. Worship was also awesome!” – Waldo Kruger.

“Wow, it was packed. What an awesome vibe!” – Shannon Strydom

“It was great when a couple phoned me and told me how happy they were that something was happening in that community. We’re trying to be community focused with the scouts and partnering with them and we really want to make a positive influence in Rosebank. On Sunday it was very community orientated and that was really fantastic.” – Craig Herbert

“It was fantastic. Fun was had by all. Great worship time.” – Francois vd Merwe

Calling Life Groups to help

Now that the launch has happened, the real work begins. In order to keep a momentum at the site, we’re asking Life Groups to look at pulling through on Sunday mornings (9:30am) and committing to help for three or four weeks – to welcome people and support that community. The support is really needed and very much appreciated! Speak to Waldo or Craig for details. Check out the Rosebank page for address details etc.
