Malelane
Youth Conference 2009 - some of the preaching themes
Thursday
24th September - morning
Michael
Ngubane – Luke 13:18-30
Theme: Strive to
enter through the narrow gate.
We
must strive to enter through the narrow gate. Otherwise God will say to us ‘I
don’t know you’, when we appear before Him.
On
the narrow road behind the narrow gate you cannot do what you would like to do. On the
broad road you think you can do everything, but in the meantime you are a slave of sin.
God
offers us the forgiveness of sin in Jesus Christ. His blood can cleanse us of every sin.

Detlef Stegen
– 1Samuel 15:7
Theme: God looks
at the heart.
God
doesn’t look at your outer appearance, He looks at your heart. We judge others by
their outer appearance, but God doesn’t.
Wouldn’t
it be nice when we return home with a changed heart? Jesus died for you, so your heart can
be cleansed.

Thursday 24th
September - evening
Rev. Chauke
– Psalm 23:1
Theme: The Lord is
my Shepherd, I do not want.
When
the Lord is your Shepherd you have a personal relationship with Him.
David
had this relationship when he went to fight Goliath. When Jesus is your Shepherd He can
conquer al the Goliaths of your life.
Choose
Him to be your Shepherd.
------------------------------------------
Friday 25th
September - morning
Rev. Chauke
– Proverbs 4:23
Theme: Keep your
heart above all things
You
guard that which is of worth to you. You don’t want ‘uninvited guests’ to
take it away from you (see Proverbs 6: 16-19).
Your
heart is full of all kinds of evil and sins. But God can set you free from that evil and
can forgive you your sins.
Like
in the song “When God forgives us He forgets; no more remembers our sins.”
Many came forward when invited, to take the first step to
Jesus.

Friday 25th
September - afternoon
Rev. Chauke
– Proverbs 23:26
Theme: My son,
give me your heart.
God wants your heart. What
does He do with it? See Ezechiel 36:26.

Saturday 26th
September - morning
Rev. Erlo
Stegen – Luke 17:21 (end)
Theme: The Kingdom
of God is within you (1).
God made us in His image, but
we don’t have it no more. Why? Because we turned our backs to God.
As fish are created for the
water, we are created for God.
Come, return to Him.
------------------------------
Saturday 26th
September
Rev. Chauke
–Psalm 24:7-10, Matthew 21:12, Revelations 3:20
Theme: Let the
King of Glory enter your temple.
When
we open the gates, a mighty God comes in. Allow God to enter your heart, then He will make
us full of glory. A temple is a place to worship God – that is our calling. When
Jesus enters us temples, He throws out all the wickedness.
He
will knock on your door, He won’t force himself on to you.

Sunday 27th
September - morning
Rev. Erlo
Stegen – Luke 17:20
Theme: The Kingdom
of God is within you (2).
Some
say the Gospel is something of the white people. But that is not true. Our Lord Himself
fled to Egypt. And when He was crucified, the Romans made Simon of Cyrene, an African man,
to carry His cross. But Africa is throwing away the Gospel.
Jesus
said: the Kingdom of God is within you. When God made man, He planted His commandments in
man. Why? To keep them. It’s in you and that’s how the Kingdom is in you, how
the Word of God is in you.
If
you take the Kingdom of God out, you will bring the kingdom of the devil in.
Hebrews
10:16 is what God wants to do in you. Then you will become afraid of sin, because the laws
of God are now in your heart and mind.
