    He Will Lift You Up | The Power of Humility

    Are you facing a difficult season, feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges, or waiting for God to lift you up? God has not forgotten you, and He has not finished His work in your life. But Scripture teaches us an important truth: humility is the prerequisite for being lifted up by God. In this message, He Will Lift You Up, Ps. Armand Niemand shares an encouraging and challenging word from 1 Peter 5:6–7 as JFN Ministries celebrates 14 years of God's faithfulness. Through the example of Jesus Christ, the account of King Ahaz, and the promises of God's Word, we discover why true humility is so powerful and why pride can prevent us from walking in God's purpose. IN THIS SERMON, DISCOVER: • Why God promises to lift us up in His appointed time. • Why humility is necessary in our walk with God. • How pride and arrogance can hinder our relationship with God. • What Jesus teaches us about surrendering our will to the Father. • Why we must learn to trust God's wisdom, authority and timing. • How humility positions us under God's mighty hand for His protection, blessing and guidance. Whatever season you are facing, remember that God is still at work. The One who began a good work in you is faithful to complete it. Humble yourself under His mighty hand, trust His timing, and allow Him to lead your life.

    What to Do When You’re in the Deep End

    What do you do when life pushes you beyond your understanding, ability and strength? In “Deep-End Dependence,” this message explores what it means to trust God when you feel crushed, overwhelmed or uncertain about what to do next. Isaiah 43 does not promise that believers will never face deep waters, rivers of difficulty or fires of oppression. It promises that God will be with us as we pass through them. The deep end confronts us with a choice: depend on God or depend on ourselves. Through Paul’s suffering, David’s crisis at Ziklag and the three men in the fiery furnace, this sermon shows how difficult seasons can teach us to stop relying on ourselves and place our full weight on God. In this message: • Trust God with your whole heart. • Stop depending on your own understanding. • Seek God before deciding what to do next. • Refuse to abandon your confidence in Him. • Remember that Jesus is with you in the deep end. The deep end is not the end. It can become the end of self-reliance and the beginning of deeper dependence on God. Scriptures: Isaiah 43:1–3 2 Corinthians 1:8–9 Proverbs 3:5–6 James 1:7–8 Isaiah 55:8–9 1 Samuel 30:6 Hebrews 10:35–36 Jeremiah 17:3–7 Daniel 3:24–25 Connect with JFN Ministries Website: https://www.jfn.org.za Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JesusForNationsMinistries Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jfnministries/ Giving: https://www.jfn.org.za/donate Are you facing a deep-end season?

    Are You Using the Authority Jesus Gave You?

    Jesus gave His followers authority—but are you using the authority He gave you?In “Authority That Overcomes Evil,” Ps. Armand Niemand explores spiritual authority through Luke 10:19–20 and challenges believers to put their faith into practice.This message explains why authority comes through Jesus Christ and His finished work on the cross. Through the account of the seven sons of Sceva, Ps. Armand emphasises the importance of a living relationship with Jesus, integrity and a consistent life of prayer and obedience.The sermon applies this teaching to four areas:• Resisting sin, temptation and destructive habits.• Bringing our thoughts and feelings under God’s truth.• Standing in Christ’s redemption from the curse.• Sharing the Gospel and making disciples.The closing question is personal: do you know the authority Jesus has given you, and are you using it?Scriptures referenced:Luke 10:19–20Revelation 12:11Acts 19:15–16James 4:7Job 1:12Romans 6:12–131 Corinthians 10:13Philippians 4:6–82 Corinthians 10:42 Timothy 1:7Galatians 3:13Philippians 2:9–11Matthew 28:18–20Matthew 16:19Connect with JFN MinistriesWebsite:https://www.jfn.org.zaFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/JesusForNationsMinistriesInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/jfnministries/Giving:https://www.jfn.org.za/donateWhich part of this message challenged you to take action?

    It’s Not Too Late to Come Back to God

    Do you feel you’ve made too many mistakes or drifted too far to come back to God? In “It’s Not Too Late,” Ps. Kyle Stewart explores God’s invitation to return with a repentant heart. Through Joel’s call to come back to God and the story of the prodigal son, this message addresses regret, destructive situations and the belief that your opportunity to change has passed. The father’s response to his returning son reveals compassion and grace. God receives us in our brokenness and calls us into a changed life through Jesus Christ. The message closes with Martha, Lazarus and an encouragement to keep trusting God when hope seems lost. It’s not too late to: • Turn back to truth. • Walk away from a toxic situation. • Change direction. • Make things right. • Pursue God’s will and live for His glory.

    Are You Following God’s Truth or Your Own?

    Are you following God’s truth—or a version shaped by your own desires, emotions and assumptions? In “A Word of Knowledge P2 — Walk in Truth,” JFN Ministries explores what it means to know, love, live and share the truth. Drawing on 3 John 1:2–4, this message connects walking in truth with spiritual wellbeing and calls us to let God’s Word challenge how we think, decide and live. Through four practical steps, the sermon shows why following Jesus involves more than hearing a message or agreeing with Scripture. It includes obedience, dependence on the Holy Spirit, sharing our faith and allowing trusted believers to speak into our lives. • Know and obey God’s Word. • Follow the leading of the Holy Spirit. • Speak the truth in love and share it with others. • Examine yourself and embrace accountability. The message closes with a warning about “truth concoctions”: mixing personal desires, emotions and Scripture taken out of context into something we call truth. Scriptures referenced in the sermon and accompanying slides: 3 John 1:2–4 John 17:17 John 8:31–32 John 14:6 John 16:13 Romans 8:14 1 Corinthians 2:9–10 Matthew 28:19–20 Ephesians 4:15 Ephesians 5:21 Psalm 139:23–24 Matthew 6:22–23 Connect with JFN Ministries Website: https://www.jfn.org.za Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JesusForNationsMinistries Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jfnministries/ Giving: https://www.jfn.org.za/donate Which of these four areas needs your attention this week?

    Everyone Needs Jesus - Who Will You Reach?

    The people around us may not be looking for Jesus, yet everyone needs Him. Who has God placed in your world for you to reach?In “Passion to Persuade,” Ps. Armand Niemand draws from the story of the Samaritan woman in John 4. One encounter with Jesus filled her with passion, confidence and courage. She left her water jar, ran back to her community and invited others to “come and see.” Her story reminds us that God can use ordinary people—and even a difficult past—to lead others to Christ.In this message, discover:Why everyone needs JesusHow passion moves us toward peopleWhy your past does not disqualify youHow to share Jesus with confidence and courageWhy the harvest is ready nowHow finding common ground can open a door for the gospelScriptures referenced:John 4:1–382 Corinthians 5:11–14Acts 4:11–12Joshua 1:91 Corinthians 9:22–23Matthew 9:37–38Website: https://www.jfn.org.zaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/JesusForNationsMinistriesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jfnministries/Giving: https://www.jfn.org.za/donateIf this message encouraged you, like the video, subscribe to JFN Ministries and share it with someone who needs to hear it.

    Free through truth!

    In this message, Ps. Armand Niemand challenges us to go beyond simply knowing truth. We are called to know truth, love truth, live truth and share truth — even when truth is uncomfortable. The message points us back to Jesus Christ, who is the Truth, and challenges us to examine whether we are willing to receive God's truth even when it confronts our feelings, opinions, circumstances and assumptions. This message explores: • Why truth is more than facts, feelings or personal opinions • Why Jesus is the Truth • Why knowing truth is not enough if we refuse to love and live it • Why the Church has a role in helping one another walk in truth • Why speaking truth requires courage • How we can have honest “truth conversations” with one another • Why truth may hurt, but ultimately brings freedom Scripture References: John 8:31–32 John 14:6 John 18:38 1 Timothy 3:15 2 Timothy 4:3–4 Ephesians 4:15 Hebrews 3:13 Romans 15:14 Proverbs 27:5–6 Matthew 7:1–6 Matthew 16:23 Psalm 141:5 Connect with JFN Ministries Website: https://www.jfn.org.za Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JesusForNationsMinistries Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jfnministries/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsHYm6hNQ8NrxMTE6gAuplg If this message challenged or encouraged you, share it with someone who needs to hear the truth of Jesus.

    What does it mean to serve?

    You were never meant to simply attend church—you have a role to play in the body of Christ. Serving God is not about having the biggest platform. It is about understanding your place, being equipped, taking responsibility and faithfully doing what God has called you to do. In this message, we look at what it means to serve as part of the body of Christ through the word SERVE: • S — Sundays & Systems: Sunday gatherings matter, and every ministry role helps the church fulfil its mission.• E — Equipped: God equips His people for the work of ministry and for building up the body of Christ.• R — Responsibility: Serving requires hard work, accountability, passion, power and purpose.• V — Vocation: God has prepared good works for us and calls us to live according to His purpose.• E — Eternal Value: Our labour in the Lord is not in vain. The challenge is simple: don't just attend—serve. Every part of the body matters, and God has called each of us to play a part. If this message encourages or challenges you, share it with someone who needs to discover their place in serving God.
