Unite180 with David Grobler

Stumble

“The Word of God is offensive—but it’s in the offense that transformation happens.”
Jesus tells us in Matthew 11, verse 6 that blessed is the one who is not offended by Him. Many believers receive God’s Word with joy, but when trials and persecution come, they stumble. Why? Because offense takes root where faith lacks depth.
In this message, Pastor David Grobler explores how offense, persecution, and trials can either weaken our faith or refine it. The question is: Will we stumble, or will we stand?

Little Faith

Little Faith – Growing Into Great Faith.
Do you have little faith or great faith? Jesus often rebuked His disciples for having "little faith," yet praised others for their "great faith." What made the difference? And how can you grow in faith today?
In Matthew 14, verses 22-33, Peter walks on water—until he takes his eyes off Jesus. In that moment, Jesus asks, "Why did you doubt?" The same question applies to us today. Do we trust God fully, or do we let fear and doubt pull us under?

Send Me

When God calls, will you respond?
In John 4, verses 1-42, Jesus meets the Samaritan woman at the well. In that moment, He shatters cultural barriers, redefines identity, and reveals a greater purpose. Just like the Samaritan woman, God is calling you—will you answer?

Testing

A test isn’t meant to break you—it’s meant to reveal what’s in you.
In Luke 4, verse 1, Jesus, filled with the Holy Spirit, was led into the wilderness for 40 days of testing. He faced the same three tests that every believer will go through:
1️⃣ The Test of Flesh – Will you surrender to temporary desires or obey God?
2️⃣ The Test of Success – Will you chase shortcuts or trust in God’s timing?
3️⃣ The Test of Influence – Will you seek fame for yourself or glorify God?
Like Jesus, we must respond with the Word of God. These tests determine our faithfulness, obedience, and readiness for God’s calling.

Practice What You Read

"Knowing Scripture isn’t enough—it's in the doing that faith comes alive."
Jesus makes it clear in Matthew 7, verse 24 that hearing His words isn't what makes someone wise, but putting them into practice. Many build their lives on traditions, past experiences, or personal logic, but a strong foundation is only found in Christ. What are you building on?
 

Not There Yet

"You don’t have to see it—you just have to see Him."
In this powerful sermon, Not There Yet, we dive into the story of Peter and John and how their boldness in Christ left others amazed—even though they were perceived as untrained and uneducated. Boldness is not about reckless action but about standing firm in faith and trusting God beyond our own understanding.

Uncertain Certainty

"We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure."
In this sermon titled "Uncertain Certainty," we explore what it means to trust God when the future seems unclear. Life is filled with uncertainties, but as believers, we stand on the unshakable promises of God.
From the faith of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fiery furnace to Jesus' prayer in John 17, we see that certainty is not found in circumstances—it is found in Christ alone. Even when we don’t know what tomorrow holds, we can be sure of who holds tomorrow.

Timing

The right thing at the wrong time is still the wrong thing.
In this powerful sermon titled "Timing," we explore how waiting on God’s timing can make all the difference. Through the stories of Elisha and Gehazi (2 Kings 5) and Naaman’s healing, we see the consequences of acting outside of God’s timing and the blessings that come when we trust Him.
Many people rush into decisions, relationships, or opportunities before their season has come—but God calls us to wait, trust, and obey. The right thing at the wrong time is still the wrong thing.

Philemon

True transformation is seen in your response, not just your revelation.
In this powerful sermon titled "Philemon," we dive into Paul’s letter to Philemon and explore how he challenges cultural norms by appealing to a higher principle—the love of Christ.
Through the story of Philemon and Onesimus, we see how true Christianity goes beyond societal expectations. How do we treat people in light of the gospel? Do we live by the principles of love, grace, and unity, or do we conform to the world's standards?

Called but Hiding

Faith is made real when life happens, and we allow God to dictate our response.
"If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me."
In "Called but Hiding," this message unpacks the reality of being chosen by God while navigating life’s contradictions. Whether it’s David in the cave, Paul in prison, or Shadrach in the fire, God uses every trial to mould us into vessels for His glory.
