TruthTalks Sermon: Jesus in the Perfect Storm

Top ImageThe Covid-19 virus has now hit South Africa, as it has so many other parts of the world. Instead of panicking, we should look to the Lord Jesus both as our example and object of faith.

I was so pleased to have been able to preach the first sermon from our church’s online platform designed especially for the period of national lock-down. The text is Mark 4:35-41 and the title says it all.

You can listen to the sermon by clicking on the “play” button below and if you want to share it with your friends and family then please do so by simply clicking on one or more of the social media icons at the foot of this post.

If you prefer watching me preaching this message (although I don’t know why anyone would want to  ) then just click HERE. You can also read the article I wrote as a transcription of the sermon by clicking HERE.

May God be with us all and keep us safe and spiritually vigorous during these very challenging times.

About Me

My name is Christopher Peppler and I was born in Cape Town, South Africa in 1947. While working in the financial sector I achieved a number of business qualifications from the Institute of Bankers, Damelin Management School, and The University of the Witwatersrand Business School. After over 20 years as a banker, I followed God’s calling and joined the ministry full time. After becoming a pastor of what is now a quite considerable church, I  earned an undergraduate theological qualification from the Baptist Theological College of Southern Africa and post-graduate degrees from two United States institutions. I was also awarded the Doctor of Theology in Systematic Theology from the University of Zululand in 2000.

Four years before that I established the South African Theological Seminary (SATS), which today is represented in over 70 countries and has more than 2 500 active students enrolled with it. I presently play an role supervising Masters and Doctoral students.

I am a passionate champion of the Christocentric or Christ-centred Principle, an approach to biblical interpretation and theological construction that emphasises the centrality of Jesus

I have been happily married to Patricia since the age of 20, have two children, Lance and Karen, a daughter-in-law Tracey, and granddaughters Jessica and Kirsten. I have now retired from both church and seminary leadership and devote my time to writing, discipling, and the classical guitar.
