Knowledge, Power, and Responsibility | Dr Gerald T. du Preez | 24 October 2026

In his sermon, “Knowledge, Power and Responsibility,” Dr Gerald T. du Preez explores 2 Peter 1:1–15, emphasising that knowledge and education are valuable, but they must be guided by godliness, goodness and Christian character. While education opens doors and provides opportunities, true wisdom comes from knowing Jesus personally and allowing His divine power to transform our lives. The speaker develops three central principles: Know, Grow and Show – know whose you are through a personal relationship with Christ, grow in the character of Jesus by developing qualities such as faith, self-control, perseverance and love, and show your faith through integrity, honesty, service and responsible living. He further highlights that leadership and influence are sacred trusts that require transparency, accountability and faithful stewardship. Ultimately, Christians are called to use their knowledge, abilities and positions not to exercise power over others, but to serve, reflect Christ's character and demonstrate His love in every area of life.
