WHEN DEAD THINGS TOUCH LIFE When we gather together, something powerful happens in the presence of God. Many of us come in feeling defeated, worn out by the battles of the week, but God meets us here and breathes new hope and life into us. This is the beauty of proximity—drawing near to God and to one another. Even when we feel spiritually dry or as if our faith is buried under disappointment and frustration, God’s power is never out of reach. The story from 2 Kings 13:21, where a dead man comes back to life simply by touching the bones of Elisha, reminds us that God’s power outlasts any vessel and is never buried, no matter how hopeless things may seem. God’s promises and His power are irrevocable. No matter how long we’ve felt disconnected or how deep our sense of loss, one touch from God can turn everything around. Just as the woman with the issue of blood pressed through the crowd to touch Jesus and was healed, our proximity to God’s presence brings resurrection to dead places in our lives. The closer we draw to Him, the more we experience His goodness, favor, and love. What we draw near to will influence us—either building us up or breaking us down. That’s why it’s so important to be intentional about what and who we allow into our lives. God’s desire is for us to be fully alive, not half-hearted or lukewarm. He is jealous for all of us, not just our Sunday mornings or spare moments. Like bumper cars that only move when connected to the power source, we need to stay plugged into God to truly live out our purpose. God is looking for willing vessels—people who will say, “Use me, Lord,” regardless of their past or perceived limitations. He can take our messes and make them beautiful, breathing life into dreams, gifts, and hopes we may have buried out of pain or disappointment. It’s never too late to let God resurrect what’s been buried. Today is an invitation to dig up those dreams, talents, and hopes, and allow God to restore and use them for His glory. All it takes is a willingness to say yes, to draw near, and to trust that His power is more than enough to bring life where there was once only death. --- Key Takeaways - God’s Power Is Never Buried - Proximity to God Brings Resurrection - What We Draw Near To Shapes Us - God Wants Us Fully Alive and Engaged - It’s Never Too Late for Restoration Ways to Support the Ministry: 💸 https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/2G...

GOD'S PROMISES IN THE PLAN When reflecting on God’s plans for our lives, it’s easy to quote Jeremiah 29:11 and move on, but there’s a depth to this promise that often goes unexplored. God’s plans are not random or speculative; they are intentional, certain, and deeply personal. He knows us intimately—our gifts, our quirks, our weaknesses—and He has designed us for a purpose that often stretches far beyond our own imagination. Just as David never dreamed of being king, and I never imagined leading a church, God’s plans can surprise us, taking us places we never thought possible. God’s desire is to prosper us, but not just in the way the world defines prosperity. The Hebrew word “shalom” speaks of wholeness, peace, and flourishing in every area—spiritually, emotionally, relationally, and physically. Prosperity in God’s eyes is about total well-being, not just financial blessing. He works in us to remove the “gunk,” to set us free, and to shape us into Christlikeness. This process isn’t always comfortable; it involves discipline, not destruction. Like a loving parent, God disciplines us because He loves us, refining our character so we can sustain the calling He’s placed on our lives. Sometimes, what feels like a setback is actually God’s setup for something greater. When doors close or resources are stripped away, it may be God’s protection or preparation for what’s ahead. In the moment, it can be painful and confusing, but hindsight often reveals God’s faithfulness and wisdom. He is always working for our good, even when we don’t understand the process. Hope is the anchor that keeps us steady in the uncertainty. It’s not wishful thinking, but a confident trust in God’s unchanging character and promises. God’s plan gives us hope and a future—a good end, an expected outcome. He is committed to finishing the work He started in us, no matter how messy the middle of our story may look. Ultimately, the invitation is to trust God’s plan, even when we can’t see the whole picture. If we seek Him diligently, He promises to reveal Himself and guide us step by step. What we think is possible for our lives is often just a shadow of what God has in store. His plans are good, intentional, and full of hope.

Strong and courageous So often, we settle for far less than what God intends for us. God’s heart overflows with dreams, hopes, and purposes for each of us—both as individuals and as a church. Yet, we tend to trust Him for only a fraction of what He desires to do in and through us. Ephesians 3:20 reminds us that God is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power at work within us. The challenge is not God’s willingness or ability, but our willingness to trust, to step out, and to lay hold of what He has already laid hold of us for. The key to entering into God’s purposes is courage, but not the kind of courage the world celebrates. True courage is not a personality trait or bravado; it is a deep dependence on God to do what we cannot do on our own. The story of Joshua standing on the edge of the Promised Land is a powerful reminder: God’s call is always bigger than our capacity, and His promise is always accompanied by His presence—“Be strong and courageous…for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” But the ultimate picture of courage is found in Jesus at Gethsemane. Here, courage looks like wrestling in prayer, facing anguish, and choosing God’s will over our own, even when every fiber of our being wants to turn away. Jesus, in His humanity, leaned on the Father for strength, even needing an angel to minister to Him. This is not weakness, but the truest form of courage: to admit our need and to draw on God’s resources in the place of prayer. We all face moments when God’s call feels too big, when our resources seem too small, and when the easiest path is to shrink back or sleep through the challenge. But it is in these moments—when we choose to wrestle in prayer rather than withdraw—that we receive the strength and spiritual resources we need. Our lives are shaped by these key moments of engagement. Fixing our eyes on Jesus, who endured the cross for the joy set before Him, gives us the perspective and hope to persevere. God’s story for us is good, His love is unshakeable, and His purposes are greater than we can imagine. Let’s be a people who say yes to His dreams, who wrestle in prayer, and who step forward in courage, trusting that He will supply all we need.

I CALL YOU BY NAME Welcome to another week at InCourage Church. This week Nicolene Du Plessis shares on Embracing God's prophetic identity. God is a personal God who knows each of us intimately, calling us by name and weaving our identities with purpose and care. There is profound significance in the names we carry—both those given to us by our earthly parents and those spoken over us by our Heavenly Father. Our names, our stories, and even our scars are not accidents; they are invitations to discover the prophetic destiny God has placed within us. Even when our beginnings are marked by pain, mistakes, or labels that seem to define us, God is the One who redefines, redeems, and calls forth the gold in our lives. Throughout Scripture, God demonstrates His power to rename and repurpose. Jacob, once known as a deceiver, becomes Israel after wrestling with God and receiving a new identity. Daniel, though given a name tied to a false god, lives out his true calling as one who stands firm in faith. Tamar, overlooked and wronged, is declared righteous and becomes the mother of breakthrough. These stories remind us that God does not call us by our failures or our past, but by our future and our potential in Him. God’s prophetic words over us are not just encouragements—they are weapons and lights in our darkest moments. To walk in the fullness of what God has spoken, we must agree with His words, take obedient steps, and contend for their fulfillment. The process is not about mere survival, but about becoming—allowing God to shape us in the secret place, to breathe His life into our destinies, and to turn our ashes into beauty. No matter what name or label you have carried—whether given by others or by your own mistakes—God is able to redefine you. He calls you beloved, chosen, and victorious. He invites you to put on the coat of many colors, to embrace your unique identity, and to shine as a testimony of His faithfulness. In every trial, in every season of waiting, God is working to bring about breakthrough and to reveal His glory through your life. As we align our hearts with His perspective, we will see His face and walk in the fullness of our prophetic destiny. Key Takeaways - God Knows and Names Us Personally - Redemption and Redefinition Are Central to God’s Heart - Prophetic Destiny Requires Our Agreement and Action - Contending for God’s Promises Is a Spiritual Battle - Breakthrough and Fruitfulness Come from Uprightness and Intimacy Youtube Chapters [00:00] - Welcome [00:53] - Opening Prayer and Surrender [01:58] - A Father’s Words and Identity [04:40] - The Uniqueness of God’s Children [05:27] - The Power of a Name [06:36] - God’s Design and Prophetic Destiny [07:55] - God Calls Us by Our Future [08:26] - Redemption in Our Stories [10:54] - God Redefines Our Identity [12:23] - Living Out Prophetic Names [17:44] - Jacob’s Journey: From Deceiver to Israel [19:14] - Encountering God and Transformation [22:12] - Wrestling with God and Receiving Blessing [23:42] - The New Creation and Prophetic Destiny [24:38] - Birthing God’s Promises [25:56] - The New Covenant and Reconciliation [28:43] - Tamar: Righteousness and Breakthrough [32:04] - Breakthrough and God’s Timing [34:58] - Partnering with Prophecy [36:22] - Obedience and Incremental Power [38:05] - Contending for Prophetic Words [39:04] - The Upright Will See God’s Face [40:36] - Aligning with God’s Perspective [41:14] - Ministry and Prayer [42:13] - Closing Blessing and Breakthrough [43:28] - Sons of the Right Hand: Our Blessing [44:09] - Final Invitation to Prayer Ways to Support the Ministry: 💸 https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/2G...

IN STEP WITH GOD Welcome to another week at InCourage Church. This week Dewald Du Plessis shares on being in step with God - Discerning His way - Not just His will. So often, we fall into the trap of thinking that following God is about mastering a set of steps or routines—like a line dance, where if we just repeat the motions, we’ll be okay. But God is not interested in routine; He is interested in relationship. The journey of faith is not about assuming yesterday’s victories or strategies will work today. Instead, it’s about being in step with God, discerning not just His will (what He wants), but His way (how He wants it done). This means seeking Him before we act, refusing to rely on our own logic or past experiences, and being sensitive to the unique direction He gives in each situation. David’s story in 2 Samuel 5 illustrates this beautifully. When faced with the Philistines, David didn’t assume that God would use the same strategy twice. He inquired of the Lord each time, and God gave him a different approach for each battle. This shows us that God desires us to seek Him moment by moment, not just for approval, but for direction. Our relationship with God is dynamic, not static. He wants us to trust Him enough to ask, to listen, and to obey—even when His instructions don’t make sense to us. Assumption is the enemy of discernment. When we operate on autopilot, relying on logic or routine, we miss the fresh strategies and solutions God has for us. Sometimes, God allows us to go through challenging seasons to build our character and prepare us for what’s ahead. Our gifts and talents may open doors, but only character—shaped by walking closely with God—will sustain us there. Being in step with God also means moving with the wind of the Holy Spirit. Like skilled dancers who can move in sync with any partner or song because they know the basics, we must cultivate sensitivity to the Spirit’s promptings. This requires time, practice, and a willingness to pause or move as He leads. God saved us not just for ourselves, but to be ambassadors of His kingdom, moving in step with Him to impact the world around us. No matter your age or stage of life, God has a unique way for you. The invitation is to yield, to listen, and to align yourself with Him. Imagine what could happen if we all truly walked in step with the Father, discerning His way together.

CHRIST LIKE LIVING IN A MONEY DRIVEN WORLD Welcome to another week at InCourage Church. This week Dewald shared on how to live a Christ Like like in a world driven by money. In a world where money often dictates our decisions and priorities, it’s easy to let our hearts be led astray by the pursuit of wealth, comfort, and security. Yet, Jesus calls us to a radically different way of living—one where our hearts and our treasures are aligned with God’s kingdom, not our own desires. Looking at the words of Jesus in Matthew 6, we’re reminded that our true treasure is not found in what we accumulate on earth, but in what we invest in eternity. Where our treasure is, there our hearts will be also. This means that our financial decisions are deeply spiritual—they reveal what we truly value and whom we truly trust. Money itself is not evil; it’s a tool that tests and reveals the condition of our hearts. The challenge is not whether we have money, but whether money has us. Are we using our resources to honor God and bless others, or are we clinging to them out of fear and self-interest? Jesus doesn’t separate our worship from our wallets; He invites us to see our finances as an extension of our devotion. The story of the widow’s two coins and the example of generous believers throughout history show us that God is moved not by the amount we give, but by the heart with which we give. Christ Himself modeled a selfless financial posture. Though He was rich in heaven, He became poor for our sake, embracing humility, sacrifice, and service. He didn’t come to be served, but to serve, and He calls us to do the same. Our calling is not to ownership, but stewardship—faithfully managing what God has entrusted to us for the sake of His kingdom and others. Generosity is not about the size of our bank accounts, but about the posture of our hearts. We all make mistakes with money, but our past decisions do not define us. With humility, repentance, and a willingness to learn, we can realign our hearts and habits with God’s purposes. Generosity, obedience, and stewardship open the door for God’s blessing—not just for ourselves, but for the world around us. When we live open-handedly, God delights to pour out His provision, using us as channels of blessing to others. The world says, “Get more, spend more, enjoy more,” but Jesus says, “Serve more, love more, give more.” God doesn’t need our money; He wants our hearts. Key Takeaways - Where your treasure is, your heart will be also. - Money is a powerful heart-tester, not an end in itself. - Christ’s example calls us to humility, sacrifice, and service with our resources. - Generosity is not about the amount, but the heart and obedience behind it. - Stewardship is a journey of growth, repentance, and partnership with God.

HOMECOMING - GOOD NEWS OF A HAPPY GOD Welcome to another week at InCourage Church. This week Fifi Formson shared an amazing word. The heart of God is not distant, cold, or disappointed when we are at our lowest, but is instead overflowing with joy and celebration at our return. The way we picture God—especially in our moments of failure—shapes everything about our relationship with Him. Many of us carry around a distorted image of God, often rooted in our own experiences of home or authority, but the true picture revealed in Scripture is of a Father who is exuberantly happy to welcome us back, no matter how far we have wandered. In Luke 15, Jesus responds to the religious leaders’ criticism of His association with “sinners” by telling stories that reveal the Father’s heart. Each story—the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son—culminates in a party, a celebration that erupts when what was lost is found. God’s joy is not a mere theological concept; it is the very atmosphere of heaven, and He invites us to share in it. Zephaniah 3:17 paints a picture of God singing over us with loud, victorious songs—a joy so deep and personal that it drowns out every accusation and every fear. Yet, there are things that kill joy. Sin promises happiness but always leaves us empty and far from home. The solution is not to clean ourselves up before returning, but to come home as we are, trusting in the Father’s kindness to lead us to repentance. But there is another, subtler danger: the “older brother” syndrome. The longer we are in church, the more likely we are to slip into comparison, contempt, and coldness—believing God owes us, looking down on others, and losing the urgency to seek out the lost. The true older brother, Jesus, left the comfort of heaven to bring us home, and He now gives us two gifts: unbridled access to the Father’s joy, and the mission to share that joy with others. The invitation is clear: experience the joy of the Father for yourself, and then become a conduit of that joy to a world desperate for homecoming. Let the celebration of God’s love be the foundation of your life and the life of our church. Key Takeaways - The way we imagine God’s face when we are at our worst reveals our true theology. - God’s joy is not a side note; it is the very atmosphere of His presence. - The story of the prodigal son is not just about one lost son, but two. - True repentance is not about fixing ourselves before coming home, but about returning to the Father in our brokenness. - The mission of Jesus is to make us both recipients and sharers of the Father’s joy.

MATURING FAMILY Welcome to InCourage Church. This week Nicolene Du Plessis brought and amazing word about discipleship. 🦏 In this message, The Maturing Family, we dive deep into what it means to grow together as a spiritual family. Starting with the unforgettable story of rogue elephants in South Africa, we uncover a powerful truth: without mature fathers and mothers in the faith, chaos reigns. Church isn’t just a place to attend—it’s a family to belong to. From the calling to disciple and be discipled, to staying faithful through pain, and embracing our roles in spiritual family—this message will challenge, inspire, and equip you to take responsibility for your growth and help others mature in Christ. Jesus doesn’t want spiritual orphans. He wants sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers—growing together from glory to glory. 👣 It’s time to grow. It's time to disciple. It’s time to mature. 📖 “You don’t outgrow the need for guidance—you grow because of it.” Ways to Support the Ministry: 💸 https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/2GASVXD4JU22C 🤝Connect 🤝with InCourage Church Facebook: / InCourage Church Instagram: / @incouragechurch Tiktok: / @incouragechurch

THE FATHER HEART OF GOD- Lessons from Paul & Timothy Today’s gathering was a celebration of Father’s Day, but more than that, it was an invitation to reflect on the heart of God as our ultimate Father. Whether our earthly experiences with fathers have been joyful or painful, God’s heart remains steadfast in love, calling each of us into deeper relationship and identity. Drawing from the relationship between Paul and Timothy, three key aspects of the Father’s heart were explored: calling out identity, nurturing growth, and releasing with trust. First, the Father’s heart calls out identity. Just as Paul affirmed Timothy as his “true son in the faith,” God speaks identity and value over each of us. This affirmation is not just for biological children, but for all who are part of God’s family. When identity and value are spoken into someone’s life, it plants seeds that can flourish into purpose and confidence, countering the brokenness that comes from absent or failed fatherhood. Second, the Father’s heart nurtures growth. Paul’s letters to Timothy are filled with encouragement, reminders of faith, and prayers for his well-being. This nurturing is not passive; it is active, consistent, and relational. Growth happens in the context of love, affirmation, and time spent together. God is not distant or merely a giver of gifts—He is a coach, a mentor, and a loving Father who desires to see us flourish. As we spend time with Him, we are shaped, corrected, and encouraged to become who He has called us to be. Third, the Father’s heart releases with trust. Paul entrusted Timothy with significant responsibilities, sending him into challenging situations and trusting him to represent the gospel well. True spiritual fathering is not about control, but about empowering and releasing others into their callings. This requires letting go, even when it’s difficult, and trusting that God is the one who ultimately leads and equips. For those who have experienced pain or absence in their earthly fathers, God’s blueprint is different. He invites us not to let those wounds become a barrier to knowing His heart. Where man fails, God remains faithful, always calling us closer, always speaking life, and always ready to release us into the fullness of our purpose. Key Takeaways - The Father’s heart calls out identity and value. When we speak life into others - Nurturing growth requires consistency, presence, and genuine relationship - Releasing with trust is a mark of true spiritual maturity. - Our earthly experiences with fathers, whether good or bad, do not define our relationship with God - The greatest battle often takes place in our minds, where the enemy sows doubt and inadequacy Youtube Chapters [00:00] - Welcome [02:34] - Father’s Day Celebration and Chocolate Giveaway [03:52] - Lighthearted Jokes and Opening Prayer [05:50] - Introducing the Theme: The Father’s Heart [06:58] - Inclusivity: God’s Heart for All [07:36] - Point 1: The Father’s Heart Calls Out Identity [09:49] - The Power of Affirmation and Value [12:08] - Personal Story: Speaking Life in Ministry [13:36] - Point 2: The Father’s Heart Nurtures Growth [15:24] - Paul’s Encouragement to Timothy [18:21] - God as Coach and Mentor [19:51] - Consistency in Relationship and Growth [20:45] - The Responsibility of Spiritual Fathers [21:31] - Point 3: The Father’s Heart Releases with Trust [23:04] - Trusting and Empowering Others [25:20] - The Call to Make Disciples [26:52] - Releasing Others into Their Calling [27:32] - Timothy’s Challenges and Paul’s Trust [29:04] - God’s Grace in Our Weakness [30:10] - The Battle of the Mind [31:17] - Healing from Earthly Father Wounds [32:33] - Closing and Blessing Ways to Support the Ministry: 💸 https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/2GASVXD4JU22C 🤝Connect 🤝with InCourage Church Facebook: / InCourage Church Instagram: / @incouragechurch Tiktok: / @incouragechurch
