Unite180 with David Grobler

The Hem

“You may feel too low to reach Jesus — but even the hem of His garment is enough to change everything.”
Pastor David Grobler unpacks the powerful story of the woman with the issue of blood in Mark 5 — a woman who had suffered for 12 years, spent everything she had searching for healing, and yet found restoration in a single moment of faith. More than just a miracle story, this message reveals the heart of Jesus: a Savior who not only heals affliction, but restores identity. A forgotten woman becomes “daughter.” An outcast is brought into family. This sermon explores the significance of the hem of Jesus’ garment, the holiness of God, the power of faith, and the beauty of being connected to Christ and His Church. It reminds us that no one is too broken, too unclean, or too far gone for Jesus to reach. Even the lowest part connected to Him still carries life, healing, and restoration.

Mother's Day

“Sometimes the very thing designed to destroy you becomes the thing God uses to deliver you.”
In this powerful Mother’s Day message, Pastor David Grobler unpacks the story of Moses’ mother and reveals the incredible role that faith-filled women play in God’s redemptive plan. Set against the backdrop of oppression, fear, and death in Egypt, this sermon shows how one mother’s courage, obedience, and trust in God preserved the life of a deliverer. Through the story of Moses in the basket, we are reminded that the world may try to shape, drown, and destroy purpose — but God always has another plan. This message beautifully connects Moses’ ark to Jesus Christ, revealing that the only true safety through the rivers of life is found in Him. It’s a message about family, identity, spiritual covering, prayer, motherhood, and the sovereignty of God through every season of life. Whether you grew up with a strong family structure or not, this sermon reminds us that God can still redeem, restore, and lead us into purpose.

Consider Your Ways

“What you put first determines what follows.”
In this powerful and practical message, Pastor David Grobler challenges us to examine one of the most defining aspects of our lives — our priorities. Centered around Matthew 6:33, this sermon confronts the gap between what we know and how we actually live. While many believers are familiar with “seek first the Kingdom of God,” this message exposes how easily life, pressure, and personal desires shift God out of first place. Through the story in Haggai, we see a clear warning: when God’s house is neglected and our own priorities take over, life begins to feel unproductive, unfulfilled, and out of order. But when God is placed first, everything else begins to align. This message is both a wake-up call and an invitation — to stop drifting, to realign, and to live with intentional, Kingdom-first priorities. Because when the order is right, the outcome follows.

Build Well

“You are not just in a church — you are part of a Kingdom.”
In this powerful message, Pastor David Grobler unpacks God’s design for the Church — not as a collection of denominations, but as an expression of His Kingdom on the earth. Through 1 Corinthians, we are confronted with a reality that challenges modern thinking: division is not a sign of deeper truth, but often a sign of spiritual immaturity. In a world with thousands of denominations and endless opinions, this message brings clarity to what truly matters. It shifts the focus away from personal preference, offence, and comparison — and back to Jesus as King and the unity of His people. This message reveals that the Church is not built on feelings, needs, or opinions — but on the rule and reign of Christ. And while churches may look different, they are all part of one Kingdom under one King. The Kingdom doesn’t divide — people do. And maturity in Christ is seen in unity, humility, and faithfulness to the truth.

First Day Reality

“The first day didn’t just prove something — it started something.”
In this powerful message, First Day Reality, Pastor David Grobler unpacks what happened on the very first day after the resurrection — not just the empty tomb, but the birth of a new people. Through accounts in John 20 and Luke 24, we see that the resurrection didn’t just confirm the cross — it created a living, Spirit-filled community. Behind closed doors, Jesus appeared to His followers, spoke peace into their fear, revealed Himself, and then commissioned them with purpose. This message reveals that the “first day” is not just a moment in history — it is a pattern for our lives today. The resurrection didn’t end with Jesus rising — it continues through a people who are sent, empowered, and transformed by the Holy Spirit.

Resurrection Sunday

“The empty tomb is God’s YES to everything Jesus said.”
In this powerful Resurrection Sunday message, Pastor David Grobler unpacks the meaning of the empty tomb — not as a separate event from the cross, but as God’s confirmation of it. The cross and the resurrection are one story: the cross declares the message, and the empty tomb declares that message is true. Through the account in John 20, we see how even those closest to Jesus struggled to understand the resurrection. Mary stood before the risen Christ and didn’t recognize Him. The disciples saw the empty tomb and were confused. Yet in a moment, everything changed — because the resurrection didn’t just prove something… it started something. This message reveals that the empty tomb is: God’s “YES” to every promise, The beginning of a new reality, Victory over death, And the invitation into a transformed life through the Holy Spirit. The resurrection is not just history — it’s a living reality meant to be seen in us.

Easter Sunday

“The cross is not just where Jesus died — it’s where God revealed who He is.”
In this powerful Easter message, Pastor David Grobler unpacks the true meaning of the cross — not just as an event where Jesus took our place, but as the ultimate revelation of God’s nature, wisdom, and love. Through 1 Corinthians 1, we see that the message of the cross confronts every human perspective. To some, it appears as foolishness. To others, it is the very power and wisdom of God. The cross challenges our ideas of strength, success, and even who God is. This message reveals that the cross is not merely symbolic — it is the moment where: - God steps into our world - Sin is fully dealt with - Love is perfectly displayed - And a new people is born The cross doesn’t just save us — it shows us who God truly is.

Eyes on HIM

“Awareness of God’s presence changes everything.”
In this message, Pastor David Grobler continues the Presence series with a powerful focus titled Eyes on Him. While God is always present, not everyone is aware of Him. Scripture reveals that the difference is not God’s availability — but our perception. Through stories like Jacob, Simeon, the road to Emmaus, and Elijah’s servant, we see that God can be fully present, yet completely missed. The Holy Spirit plays a key role in opening our eyes, revealing Jesus, and helping us discern His presence in everyday life. This message challenges us to shift from simply believing God is present… to actually seeing Him, hearing Him, and living aware of Him.

Steadfastness

“It’s not how you start — it’s whether you finish.”
In this message, Pastor David Grobler unpacks the power and necessity of steadfastness in the Christian life. Faith is not a sprint but a marathon, and the true measure of a believer is not how passionately they begin, but whether they remain grounded and finish the race. Through powerful analogies of marriage, endurance, and running a race, this message confronts the reality that many start strong but drift, quit, or become disconnected over time. Scripture calls us to remain anchored, immovable, and committed — regardless of pressure, disappointment, or the failures of others. Steadfastness is not about perfection, but about perseverance. It is about staying rooted in Christ, keeping your eyes on Him, and continuing in the faith no matter what comes.

Presence

“God’s presence is not just around you — it is His face turned toward you.”
In this message, Pastor David Grobler unpacks the powerful truth of the presence of God — not merely as something distant or general, but as something deeply personal, relational, and transformative. Scripture reveals that God’s presence is described as His face — His attention, His favour, and His closeness toward us. While God is omnipresent (everywhere at all times), this message highlights that His presence is not always equally revealed. There is a difference between God being everywhere and God manifesting Himself in a way that transforms lives. From Adam losing the presence, to Moses encountering God face to face, to the Holy Spirit now dwelling within believers — we see a progression of how God desires to be close to His people. When we turn our face toward God, we position ourselves to experience His presence more fully. Just as Moses’ face shone after being with God, our lives are changed by the presence we pursue. The call is clear: don’t just seek what God can give — seek His face.
