Hillsong South Africa's Podcast

What if we really believed that God could never fail? This message takes us into Luke 17:11–19, where ten outcasts lifted their voices for mercy—and Jesus answered with an instruction, not an instant miracle. "Go, show yourselves to the priests." The miracle didn't meet them in the moment… it met them on the way. Faith prayed. Faith obeyed. Faith gave thanks. And one returned—not just healed, but completely restored. Sometimes God's breakthrough comes wrapped in a step of obedience. Sometimes the miracle is found in the walk, not the waiting. The question isn't if God can move—it's whether we'll take the step before we see the result.

The message teaches that the anointing is the power and presence of the Holy Spirit working through believers, just as He empowered Jesus to heal, do good, and set people free. The anointing is meant for every area of our lives and functions as a partnership between us and the Holy Spirit. It carries authority to break yokes, heal, deliver, and strengthen us, especially in difficult seasons. Though the anointing is powerful, it also comes with a price, because spiritual strength is often produced through crushing, trials, and personal battles. Yet these hardships create fresh oil, equipping us to carry God's purpose with greater depth, maturity, and impact.

"With God, nothing is impossible!" If you are facing something impossible right now, this message is for you. God is not done yet. Let's lift our eyes, enlarge our faith, and believe again that nothing is impossible for our God. It's time to step forward with expectation, pray bold prayers that only God can answer, and trust that He is already fighting for us.

The sermon emphasizes that God is both willing and able to heal—physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Drawing from Scripture and personal testimony, Pastor Renaud shows that healing is part of God's nature and His purpose through Jesus, who came to make us whole. We often doubt His willingness because of past experiences, but the Bible reveals that His heart is always for restoration. To receive healing, we must remember His heart, remove natural and spiritual roadblocks, recognize that healing may be a process, and receive by faith—not through striving, but by trusting the Healer's love and power.

In this heartfelt message, we walk with the psalmist Asaph through a raw and honest struggle—wrestling with doubt, envy, and the seeming success of the wicked. But everything changes in the sanctuary. As God meets us in our questioning, He shifts our perspective and anchors our hearts in eternal truth. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by injustice or shaken in your faith, this message will remind you: true strength is found not in answers, but in God's nearness. Let this be a call back to His presence—where clarity comes, and our hearts are renewed. 

Are You a Faith Walker or a Faith Watcher? In this stirring message, we’re invited to shift from spectators to participants—to become faith walkers in every season.  Drawing from the story of the Roman centurion in Matthew 8, we’re reminded that true faith doesn’t wait for proof; it trusts in the authority of Jesus, even from a distance. This soldier saw what others couldn’t: that one word from Jesus changes everything. Faith isn’t passive—it moves, it speaks, it believes beyond what the eyes can see. As we lean into God's promises, we learn that His power knows no bounds, and His presence is with us in every step. This is a call to rise. To walk boldly. To speak life. To live expectantly. You weren’t made to just watch faith happen—you were created to walk in it.

Are we living boldly for Jesus or still hiding in fear? This message reminds us of the Day of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit transformed fearful followers into bold witnesses. The same Spirit empowers us today—not just for personal encounters, but to carry God’s mission into the world. Every act of kindness, every step of courage, can point someone to Jesus. Let’s pray daily for opportunities to bless others and trust the Holy Spirit to make us powerful witnesses in our everyday lives.

In this powerful message, we're challenged to shift our perspective and put Jesus at the center of our lives. Drawing from Colossians 1:16-17, we're reminded that all things were created through and for Christ. This revelation offers us deep peace and security, especially when life feels chaotic. The sermon explores three key impacts of centering our lives on Jesus: His mission gives us purpose, His surrender shapes our own, and His presence transforms our hearts. We're encouraged to find our true purpose in Christ, to surrender honestly like Jesus did in Gethsemane, and to allow God's presence to rebuild us from the inside out. This message invites us to move beyond a 'have to' mindset to a 'want to' relationship with God, transforming our approach to faith and purpose.

We're called to embrace a revival-inspired generosity—like the Israelites who gave so abundantly, they had to be restrained from giving more. This message explores how true generosity flows from faith, not obligation. Just like the Sea of Galilee gives and thrives, while the Dead Sea only receives and dies, we’re reminded that generosity brings spiritual vitality. It's not about equal giving, but equal sacrifice. Trust God, give boldly, and watch what Heaven unlocks in your life.

Grace changes everything.

Discover the power of family—both natural and spiritual. In this message, we explore God’s design for believers to belong, grow, and thrive within a church community. Learn how to stay connected, keep short accounts, show up consistently, and embrace your place in God’s family.

Whether you're a parent, grandparent, or part of our church family, we all play a role in shaping young lives. Let's be intentional about passing on our faith and raising up world-changers for Christ! 'One generation shall praise Your works to another, and shall declare Your mighty acts.' - Psalm 145:4

Join us as we explore the heart of 1 Corinthians 13 — love that’s patient, kind, and never fails. Whether you're married or not, this message is a call to love like Jesus: sacrificially, intentionally, and with prayer at the center. Let’s choose love every day.

In a world where identity feels increasingly blurred, this message calls us back to the heart of who we are. Rooted in Genesis 1:26–27, we’re reminded that we’re created in the image of a relational God—designed for connection, not isolation. As we explore the sacred gift of friendship, we look to Jesus, who called His disciples friends, modeling the kind of authentic, Christ-centered relationships we were made for. This is more than community—it’s a call to break down walls of fear, busyness, and self, and step boldly into God’s vision for wholeness and belonging.

God’s not done yet. This message reminds us to let go of the past and lean into the new thing He’s doing—greater, deeper, and full of purpose. Trust Him. Step forward in faith.

In this message, we journey with King David from guilt to grace, discovering the power of honest repentance and God's unwavering kindness. Psalm 51 reveals a heart laid bare—not just behaviour change, but deep inner transformation. It calls us to reflect: Are we still naming sin for what it is, or have we settled for compromise? As we come vulnerably before God, He meets us with restoring grace—grace that not only forgives but renews.

In this powerful message, we unpack the story of Nehemiah and Ezra to reveal a deeper truth: you can look put together on the outside and still be broken within. God isn’t after perfection—He’s after your heart.

At Hillsong, we believe the heartbeat of the Church is to move toward the world just as God first moved toward us. From creation to the cross, and through His Spirit today, God has always been about drawing close to humanity in love, grace, and power. Jesus stepped into our time, culture, and brokenness—not to stay distant, but to walk with us and bring hope. In the same way, we’re called to show up—to live lives that reflect His love, speak into culture with truth and compassion, and carry the presence of God into every space we’re in. It’s not just about believing; it’s about being the hands and feet of Jesus, living the gospel in a real and relevant way, so that others might encounter the God who sees, knows, and loves them.
