Being baptised is something that we've been told we need to do as Christians when we commit our life to God, but is it something that we must do in order to be saved?
In this episode we discuss what a revival is, how we as Christians should view them and what to expect from them.
We mess up sometimes, but should we start again, and is it a thing? We try to bring some clarity on this topic on this episode.
The question we discuss today has sparked countless conversations and debates over the years.
Hopefully we can answer it once and for all.
Matthew 27:50-54, is it a powerful scripture or just a confusing passage? Today we shine a light on these verses and discuss their significance.
Why are people so afraid to read Revelations? On today's episode, we discuss 'The Book No One Reads'.
Do we still have access to the same gifts as the apostles, or have they ceased to exist in our lifetime? We discuss those details on this episode of The Pulse Podcast.
In this episode we discuss how God speaks to us and the different ways in which he can reveal Himself.

This episode of the pulse podcast explores the topic of spiritual gifts, is it something we should desire? If we do, how do we discover our spiritual gift?
This is a widely asked question that only seems to focus on a select few spiritual gifts but there are more gifts we can pray for and have that will bring us closer to Jesus and help the body of Christ.

Is money the only way to tithe? Tithing has become a topic that most Christians seem to dance around these days, but in this podcast we look at tithing in the old testament and in the new testament aiming to re-direct our hearts back to the main focus which is God. Our relationship with God, should come with the wanting to help the church and those around us with our time but also our money.
A lot of us see the old testament as the least exciting part of the Bible that's more old school with a bunch of rules. A better way perhaps is to see the old testament as God's way of holding a mirror to our hearts to reveal our total and utter need for him.
Generational curses are real and shouldn't be ignored, but we shouldn't get into a habit of thinking everything bad is a generational curse. When we are in Christ, we are not bound by the world, but forgiveness and healing must take place.
In the past years, we've seen a rise in church scandals which has led people to ask, is the structure of the church today wrong? What is the correct structure? Perhaps if we change our perspective of the church from an organisation to an organism with Jesus as the head and us as the body, we can realign our view of the church in a more biblical way and less of a pragmatic sense as to how things ought to work. Stay tuned for more.
What is my specific assignment on earth? This podcast will help navigate this question from looking at Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 which is Solomon's conclusion of the duty of man, to God's instruction to the Israelites in Leviticus 19:2. Are we asking the right question? Instead of asking what God want us to do, should we focus on who God wants us to be? Stay tuned to find out more.
So what exactly is penal substitution? Is it just a weird term Christians use to describe the cross? Is it the only way to look at the death of Christ? This video aims to answer these questions by first going over the definition of penal substitution and why it's vital to the Christian faith. Mike looks at the development of atonement of sin through the old testament up until the cross from its first mention in Genesis 3:21.
The notion that Christians must be healed from their illness after being prayed for or fasting on the matter is a controversial topic in the Christian faith. Is it our unbelief, our faith, our sins that causes illness to remain or does God simply not want to heal us? Does he not love us? In this episode, we'll go over this topic and explore it in more details!
The perception of God today is that of a God that punishes the innocent, stays silent in our suffering and isn't powerful enough to save us. Is all this a punishment? Can we call a God like this loving? In this episode, we unpack how God has always shown his love to us, before the cross, on the cross and still today!
Can God still love us and still maintain his justice?
A lot of people are made to believe that 'worship' is a type of Christian music that tends to be slow and melancholic. In today's episode, MT and Raphael explore 'worship' through the lens of scripture and what it should mean to every believer.
What does it mean to 'worship in spirit and in truth'?
Have you ever wondered whether miracles still happen today? In today's episode, M.T and Raphael explore the topic of Miracles.
What is a miracle, and how does today's society engage with the topic?
They also discuss "scepticism" and "discernment" in the context of miracles.
In this weeks episode of The Pulse Podcast, Mike Omoniyi teaches how to know if we're saved and part of the group the Bible describes as elect. Whether that knowledge is important for christians and how that knowledge should affect our evangelism.
In this weeks episode of The Pulse Podcast, Mike Omoniyi teaches how the doctrine of the Trinity is foundational to the Christian faith. It is crucial for properly understanding what God is like, how He relates to us, and how we should relate to Him.
In a cultural climate that is becoming more acquainted with self-love and extending grace to ourselves, why doesn’t God let bygones be bygones? Why can’t he just overlook our wrongdoings and just forgive us with no strings attached? In this weeks episode, M.T Omoniyi explains the nature of God's love and why It is only through Christ’s sacrifice of appeasing God’s judgement of sin through the shedding of his blood that forgiveness can truly take place.
In this weeks episode of The Pulse Podcast, Mike Omoniyi shares how The baptism and indwelling of the Holy Spirit is the New Covenant blessing of the presence and work of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer.
When you turn the page from the end of the Old Testament to the beginning of the New Testament, it can seem like you are entering a different world. Where the God of the Old Testament seems like the god of wrath, whereas the God of the New Testament is a god of love. However, Mike omoniyi teaches that New Testament authors consistently claim that the God revealed in the Old Testament is the same God who is now revealing himself in and through Jesus Christ.
Mike Omoniyi shares how the affirmation of the truthfulness of the Bible is inextricably tied to the character of God himself. God is a truthful God who does not lie. Therefore, because God is ultimately the author of Scripture, it is perfect, unlike every other uninspired writing and utterance.

In the UK, whilst 45% of people believe in Heaven, less than 40% of the population believe that Hell exists.
However, Jesus was not short on teachings about Hell. The Apostle Paul spoke about the fate of the wicked after death over 80 times in his letters (more than he spoke about mercy, forgiveness or Heaven combined). If we want to see Christ-like families, Christ-like friendships, Christ-like churches, Christ-like evangelism and a Christ-like world, then we need Christ-like understanding, not least on the subject of Hell.

Since the inception of the Bible, Christians have debated as to whether the Bible is truly the 'Word of God'. Many people question who the author of the Bible is and wonder as to what authority it has over our lives. M.T Omoniyi shares how there are both internal and external pieces of evidence proving why Christians believe the Bible to be the word of God and is the only divine revelation from the one true God.

Of all the gifts given to mankind by God, there is none greater than the presence of the Holy Spirit. For many people, the person of the Holy Spirit raises many questions as to its functions, roles, and activities. Our Director Mike Omoniyi shares how The Bible teaches that the Holy Spirit is active in our world and notes several roles the Holy Spirit plays in the lives of believers today.

Jesus often prayer that his followers would have such a radical unity that would be a testimony to the world. However, when we look at the Christian body today, it seems as though they divide up into hundreds of different groups, churches, and denominations. For those who are not Christians, it seems confusing. Why can’t they agree on anything? Why are there sometimes four different churches on the same street? Even for believers, the question often arises: Why are there so many Christian denominations?
The topic of swearing/cussing is one that often elicits deep divide amongst Christians. Some believing in no circumstances should use that type of language and some believe that they’re just words, what’s the big deal? So then what does the Bible say about this and should these four-letter words be in our vocabulary?
Waiting on God when He has not answered our prayers is one of the hardest places to be. There are times when we pray with everything in us and we need God to intervene and yet, nothing changes. So what then should we do when it seems as though God isn't listening?

In this weeks episode, Mike Omoniyi discusses the importance of not separating the Christian life into the sacred and secular.
