Reshaping Values, Reconciling the world

Love & Light 01 | Fellowship with the True Christ | 1 John 1:1-4

Pastor Seye begins this new teaching series with an introduction, explaining the historical context of John’s letters.

1 John was written to confront false teachings about the person of Christ that were spreading among believers. Some groups, such as the Ebionites, denied His divinity, while others, like the Docetists, denied His true humanity. John wrote to correct these errors and affirm that Jesus is both truly God and truly Man.

The Docetists claimed that Christ only appeared to be human but was not truly flesh and blood. They believed that a being from the kingdom of light could not take part in material or earthly things. John counters this by declaring that the eternal Word of life, who existed from the beginning, was seen, heard, and touched by the apostles. In doing so, he establishes both the deity and humanity of Christ.

Denying Christ’s real humanity has serious implications for our salvation, because only the true, incarnate Son of God could shed His blood for our sins.

False doctrines corrupt the hearts of believers and lead them away from the truth, but sound doctrine strengthens our fellowship with God and produces fruits that align with His will.

Figs in the Vineyard Kingsley | Luke 13:1-9

Learning From the Corinthians (Part 26) | 1 Cor. 14:19-40

The gift of tongues is regarded as superior and essential in certain Christian circles. However, this position stands in contrast to Paul's actual teaching.

Paul urges the church to especially desire the gift of prophecy because it builds up the entire church, including the one who prophesies — unlike uninterpreted tongues, which only build up the speaker because nobody else understands what is being said.

While the gift of tongues does exist today, God never intended it to be our primary means of prayer and personal edification. This is because all spiritual gifts are given for the common good of the body of the Christ.

Instead, He calls us to:

1) Pray in our understanding, as enabled by the Holy Spirit who dwells within us — which is the true meaning of "praying in the Spirit".

2) Be filled with His Word, remaining steadfast in the truths we have been taught.

If we are to desire the higher gifts, prophecy like Apostle Paul describes in 1 Cor 14, what then is prophecy and the role of prophets in the church

Does the bible teach that man is tripartite in nature?

Learning from the Corinthians (Part 24) 1 Corinthians 12:31 – 13:13

In this sermon, Pastor Sam emphasised that the essence of the gifts of the Spirit is to express love for our brothers and sisters in Christ. Paul highlights a hierarchy among the gifts and introduces a superior approach: love. He explains that speaking in angelic tongues, wielding prophetic powers and insights, or showing extreme generosity, even to the point of martyrdom, is meaningless without love. Such acts, devoid of love, are mere noise, amount to nothing, and yield no reward. The true purpose of these gifts is to serve and love God’s people.

Love reflects the attitude that Christ has toward the church, seeking the good of others regardless of personal cost. This love originates from God, and apart from Him, it does not exist. Without God, man cannot love, for God is love. Just as God loved us without waiting for our actions, our love must be proactive. The gifts God grants us will be judged based on how we use them for the benefit of others, not for personal gain or selfish ambition.

Paul further describes love as patient, kind, trusting, hopeful, and enduring, while free from envy, boastfulness, arrogance, resentment, or delight in evil. In essence, love seeks the well-being of others, not their harm or pleasure.

God embodies love, and love is eternal. While other gifts will eventually lose their purpose, love will endure forever. The ultimate goal is to be with God, where love will remain supreme. Until then, the church should be a foretaste of heaven by loving one another as Christ loved us. Paul concludes that while faith, hope, and love endure, love is the greatest, as our faith and hope stem from God’s love for us.

He gives a comprehensive summary of how the spiritual gifts have been recognized and utilized in the Pentecostal church. He focuses on the early organization and belief of the classic Pentecostal Church about the spiritual gifts.

Learning from the Corinthians (Part 23) | 1 Corinthians 12

In this sermon, PSam reminds us not to go beyond what is written, just as Paul had earlier instructed. Paul clarifies certain words so they are not read through pagan lenses, showing that spiritual gifts are freely given, administered by God’s sovereignty, and meant for the edification of the church.

The gifts are not for display or self-importance but to glorify Christ and draw men to Him. Though diverse in form, all gifts are gracious and empowered by the same God.

Paul stresses that the gifts are for the common good, modelled after Christ’s service to the church. This common good means being conformed to Christ’s image and walking in the good works God prepared for us, which is simply godliness lived out.

It is God who works these gifts in us as we serve the church. Paul makes no hierarchy among gifts, whether miraculous or ordinary by our standards. Each comes from the same Spirit and is vital to the body, with even the less visible parts given great honor in God’s design.

James 4:1-3

In this charge, Samuel Oyeyinka reminds us about the beauty and power of prayer.

He also addresses what effective prayer is and how we can pray effectively.

Finally, he addresses two things that hold people back from praying – complacency and giving up

Learning From the Corinthians (Part 22) | 1 Cor. 10:14–33; 11:2–16

In this sermon, Pastor Sam shows how Paul addresses two vital issues in the Corinthian church: fleeing idolatry and honoring God’s order in worship.

Idolatry is the root sin that rivals God for our devotion. In Corinth, eating food sacrificed to idols was more than a meal — it was participation in idol worship. Some believers knew the food meant nothing, but others believed it tied them back to false gods. Out of love, Paul warns: don’t do it. You cannot partake of the Lord’s Table and the table of demons. To rob God of His glory or cause a brother to stumble is to take lightly the very cross of Christ.

Paul then turns to head coverings in worship. For a man to cover his head in their cultural context was seen as dishonor, and for a woman to uncover hers was equally dishonor. While the cultural symbol was hair in the ancient world, the principle reaches deeper: God has woven order into creation. Man and woman are equal before God but distinct in role and design. To ignore these distinctions is to dishonor God’s wisdom.

The heart of it is this: the Christian life is not about fighting for our personal rights, but about laying them down for the sake of others and for the glory of God.

This Excellent Church – Belgic Confession, Article 37: The Last Judgment

Key Texts: Matthew 25:31–46; Revelation 20:11–15; 2 Corinthians 5:10

Description:

In this powerful conclusion to the Belgic Confession series, Pastor Samuel Oyeyinka expounds Article 37 on the Last Judgment. This sermon calls believers to live with urgency, hope, and holiness in light of Christ’s return.

The message highlights:

The certainty of Christ’s second coming to judge the living and the dead
The resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked
The joy of believers who will inherit eternal life, and the terror of those who reject Christ
The justice and mercy of God displayed in final judgment
A call to readiness: living faithfully now because “we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ” (2 Cor. 5:10)

This is both a sobering and comforting message: sobering because it confronts us with eternity, and comforting because it assures us that Christ will make all things right. It ends with a hopeful reminder that for believers, judgment is not condemnation but vindication and everlasting joy with Christ.

Learning From the Corinthians (Part 21) | 1 Cor. 10:6-22

In this sermon, Samuel Oyeyinka sheds light on two more practices that can make Christians fall away and miss their final rest, like ancient Israel:

(1) Sexual immorality: Enjoying the privilege of sexual pleasure without the corresponding responsibilities of a marriage vow.

(2) Grumbling / Testing God: Challenging God to satisfy our desires because we've grown discontent with His good gifts.

Although the danger of falling away is real, Christ promises to keep His own to the end (John 6:35-40). Our role is to take the way of escape He graciously provides whenever temptation comes.

This Excellent Church – Belgic Confession, Article 36: The Magistrates

Key Texts: Romans 13:1–7; 1 Peter 2:13–17

Description:

What is the role of the state, and how should Christians respond to civil authority? In this sermon on Article 36, Pastor Samuel Oyeyinka explores the biblical doctrine of civil government. Far from being a human invention, government is established by God to maintain order, promote justice, and restrain evil.

Key themes include:

God’s sovereignty in appointing rulers and governments (Romans 13:1)
The proper relationship between church and state—distinct but complementary roles
The believer’s duty to honor, pray for, and obey civil authorities, unless commanded to sin
Warnings against both anarchism and idolatry of political power
How Christians can live as good citizens while maintaining ultimate loyalty to Christ the King

This sermon equips believers to navigate politics and society with a gospel-centered perspective, seeing government as part of God’s providential care while remembering that our true citizenship is in heaven (Philippians 3:20).

Learning From the Corinthians (Part 20) | 1 Cor. 9:24–10:7

The reward ahead of believers — everlasting life with God — far surpasses anything this world can offer. This eternal hope should spur us to exercise self-control and guard against desires that destroy the soul.

The first of these destructive desires is idolatry: trusting created things to meet our needs instead of God the Creator, and treasuring the gifts above the Giver.

How can we be free from idols? By exposing ourselves to God's means of grace — the Word, prayer, and the Sacraments — which He uses to change our appetites and transform our hearts.

Belgic Confession, Article 35: The Lord’s Supper

Matthew 26:26–29; John 6:53–58; 1 Corinthians 11:23–29

Description:

In this teaching on Article 35 of the Belgic Confession, Samuel Oyeyinka unpacks the profound mystery and meaning of the Lord’s Supper. More than a symbolic ritual, the Supper is a spiritual feast where believers are nourished by Christ Himself.

This sermon emphasizes:

The true spiritual presence of Christ in the Supper, not just a memorial act

The Supper as a means of grace where believers receive Christ by faith

The necessity of self-examination before partaking, guarding against unworthy participation (1 Cor. 11)

The Supper as a sign and seal of our union with Christ and one another in the church

The contrast between Christ’s once-for-all sacrifice and the Roman Catholic Mass

Listeners are reminded that the Lord’s Table is where heaven meets earth—where Christ feeds His people and strengthens them for the journey of faith

Learning From the Corinthians (Part 19) | 1 Cor. 9:15-27

God doesn't owe Christians praise or thanks for doing what He has commanded, whether that's preaching the gospel or working in church.

Instead, we owe Him everything for saving us from eternal damnation and giving us eternal life. This truth should motivate the joyful and steadfast performance of our duty.

Yet, God has promised an eternal reward for those who serve him faithfully — and that's the greatest ambition we can pursue.

Belgic Confession | Article 33&34

Family Affairs Day 3 | 1 John 3:10-24We build solid and stable families when we obey the commands of Jesus, which are summed up in one word: Love.How do we walk in love in our families?1) Husbands lead and serve sacrificially — not making decisions based on convenience or self-interest, but on what's best for their famiies.2) Wives trust, respect, support, and advise their husbands as they fulfill God's call on their lives.Understanding this helps singles look beyond superficial standards like financial status or appearance when weighing potential partners. Instead, they focus on whether the person understands and displays true love.When we build our families with love, they become a foretaste of heaven on earth.

Good marriages do not happen by chance, and they are not reserved for a select few.In His wisdom, God designed marriage as a beautiful gift to humanity; a means through which His will is revealed and accomplished on the earth.It is not the world that defines the purpose of marriage, nor the path to fulfilling it. That right belongs to God, the Giver of the gift.Only He can rightly instruct us in both the vision and the virtues required to live it out.One of the key foundations we learnt for a thriving marital union is genuine friendship. And in our season of singlehood, we are called to cultivate the kind of love that reflects Christ; a love that serves, honors, and uplifts others.As we build godly friendships and community, the Lord is shaping in us the character, humility, and selflessness that are essential for lasting, Christ-glorifying marriages.

“Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labour in vain.” — Psalm 127:1Samuel Oyeyinka reminded us that marriage isn’t just a cultural construct; it’s God’s idea, designed with a clear purpose: a man and woman united together to raise godly seed and reflect Christ’s devotion to the Church.Before we build, we must first understand God’s vision for marriage; one rooted in service and a life committed to willing the good of the other.To pray rightly, choose wisely, and build purposefully, we must begin with God.There is a rest that comes from doing marriage God’s way, one that no other path can give.Trying to build apart from His blueprint is why so much around us is broken.

The Kind of Faith You Need

Learning From the Corinthians (Part 18) | 1 Cor. 9:1-18

Ministers of the gospel have a right to receive benefits from their work, based on the principle that responsibilities must come with corresponding privileges.

Flowing from this, church members are called to support and care for their leaders, giving generously from hearts of gratitude.

Church leaders, on the other hand, must not exploit their members, knowing they will give account to God for the souls under their care.

And when ministers face ill treatment from those they serve, they shouldn't abstain from doing the work of ministry, following the example of our Lord Jesus who endured suffering for our salvation.

In this bible study, we examine the 30th to the 32nd article of the Belgic Confession, which examines what the administration of the church should be and the qualifications of an elder

Learning From the Corinthians (Part 17) | 1 Cor. 8:4-13 & Romans 14:1-23

In Christianity, there are essential matters over which believers can't hold different opinions, because our Lord expressly commands or forbids them in His Word.

However, there are secondary matters over which believers may hold different opinions based on biblical principles.

The Corinthian Church faced one such secondary issue: eating food offered to idols. Some felt this was acceptable since idols are nothing compared to the one true God. Others believed eating such food was equivalent to idol worship.

How should we respond to similar differences in the Body of Christ today?

1) Show compassion to fellow believers with different views, rather than quarrelling with them, remembering that we're all growing in knowledge.

2) Willingly lay down your right if exercising it will cause a fellow believer to stumble.

In doing so, we walk in love towards our brothers and sisters, just as our Lord commanded.

What is the catholic Christian Church and what it means to us?

Seye Maj' explores these questions the 27th to 29th article of the Belgic confession address

Learning From the Corinthians (Part 16) | 1 Cor. 8:1-3"Knowledge puffs up" is often wielded as a warning against intellectualism in Christianity. But is this statement true?Knowledge can lead to pride and a sense of superiority when it is incorrect or incomplete. True knowledge, however, humbles us as we become more aware of what we don't know.We can only worship God rightly when we know Him truly. That's why Scripture urges us to grow in our knowledge of God. To avoid falling into pride, our pursuit of knowledge must be motivated by love for God. Only then will our lives align with the truth of His Word.

In this Bible study, Samuel Oyeyinka explains why we hold to credobaptism in TEC, which is slightly different from what our catechism (Heidelberg Catechism, Question 74) prescribes.

Samuel explains the importance and significance of baptism and why we hold to credobaptism, while we hold to the other tenets of the 3 forms of Unity.

Created for Good Works | Eph. 2:1-10Before we were saved, we were spiritually dead. We were unresponsive to God and morally unable to do good works because we were alienated from His life.But God imparted spiritual life to us and made us a new creation through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This salvation was planned before the foundation of the world, when God chose us in Christ (Eph 1:4-5). We did nothing to merit it.God elected, regenerated, justified, and adopted us — not just for the sake of it, but so that we could walk in good works. We were saved unto holiness and blamelessness before Him.Reflecting on our salvation should spur us to praise and thank God for orchestrating our salvation from beginning to end. But it should also lead us to pursue godliness in everyday life — because that’s what we were saved for.

Ijeoma Oyeyinka continues our study of the Gospel of John, Chapter 11.

We look at Jesus' Divinity and humanity as recorded by Apostle John

Learning From the Corinthians Pt. 15 | 1 Corinthians 7:17-40God doesn't only call us into ministry—He also calls us into estates. This means He sovereignly orchestrates the unique circumstances of our lives, such as our nationality, family background, socioeconomic status, and natural abilities (Acts 17:26).What does this mean for us Christians today?1) We shouldn't be preoccupied with changing or escaping our estates, as if that's the goal of life. Instead, we should seek to fulfill God's purpose for our lives by doing His will within the circumstances He has assigned to us. 2) Our estates—especially favourable ones—are not the essence of our life. They are temporal conditions that will eventually pass away. Christ is our life, so we should live with eternity in view as pilgrims in this world. This principle reshapes how we view marriage and singleness: marriage is not a superior estate that will complete us, and singleness is not an inferior estate to be escaped.Wherever we are, whatever we have, let's pursue the will of God for our lives.

Main Text: 1 Corinthians 3; Philippians 3; Hebrews 5–6

Theme: Spiritual Growth, Carnality, and Christian Maturity

In this rich and scripture-saturated sermon, Sam Oyeyinka unpacks Paul’s rebuke to the Corinthian church for remaining spiritual infants. Based on 1 Corinthians 3, he explains how carnality—marked by jealousy, division, and sectarianism—reveals spiritual immaturity, even among believers.

Key highlights of the sermon:

The distinction between milk and solid food in Christian teaching is the maturity of the recipients (1 Cor. 3:2).
The marks of spiritual infancy: jealousy, sectarianism, and self-centeredness.
Maturity involves discernment between good and evil (Heb. 5:11–14)
The importance of growing in Christ through renewal of the mind (Rom. 12:1–2)
Maturity is the movement from doing what is good to pressing toward what is better (Phil. 3:12–16)

Sam Oyeyinka teaches that maturity is not optional—it is a necessary pursuit for every believer. The mature Christian isn’t merely avoiding sin but is actively pressing toward the prize of the upward call in Christ Jesus. He also contrasts the false humility of hyper-grace theology with the biblical call to sacrificial devotion.

Key insights:

Immaturity is marked by confusion over good and evil; maturity is marked by clarity and action.
The Gospel compels us not just to believe but to grow in righteousness and seek eternal reward (Heb. 6:1–12).
There is good, and there is better—and God calls us to the better.

Sam offers both rebuke and invitation: move from shallow Christianity to a life of deep, sacrificial discipleship.

Main Texts: 1 Corinthians 2:6–16, Judges 14 (Samson’s riddle), Romans 12:1–2

What is the wisdom of God? How do we grow into it? In Part 5 of the Learning from the Corinthians series, Sam explores Paul’s teaching on spiritual maturity—why the gospel message appears foolish to the world but is divine wisdom to the mature. The sermon intricately weaves in the story of Samson and his riddle to illustrate how God's truth often appears as a mystery to those relying on worldly paradigms.

This teaching focuses on:

The difference between God’s wisdom and the wisdom of this age
Why some truths of the gospel can only be imparted to the spiritually mature
How spiritual immaturity keeps believers tethered to worldly standards
The danger of evaluating ministry success by signs, wonders, wealth, or influence
The essential role of the Holy Spirit in conviction and salvation, rather than performance-based signs

This sermon is a powerful reminder that the Christian life is not just about being saved, but about growing up into the wisdom and mind of Christ. It also critiques the pervasive error of merging worldly definitions of greatness with spiritual success.

Main Text: Romans 5:12–19, Genesis 6:5, 1 John 3:4

What does it mean that all have sinned? Why do we bear the guilt of Adam's sin? This sermon on Article 15 of the Belgic Confession tackles the doctrine of Original Sin with deep theological precision and pastoral care. Using a Q&A format, Seye Maj' addresses critical questions: What is sin? What is original sin? How does it affect our nature, inclinations, and standing before God?

Key takeaways include:

Sin is defined as both a lack of righteousness and active opposition to God’s law
Guilt is a state of being liable to God’s judgment, not merely a feeling of remorse
Original sin as both inherited guilt and corrupt nature passed on from Adam to all people
Evidence from Scripture that sin includes thoughts, desires, and inclinations, not just outward acts (Genesis 6:5, Romans 3:23)
The universality of sin and the necessity of divine grace for any hope of salvation

This sermon is essential listening for anyone seeking to understand why humanity needs a Savior, and how Christ’s obedience undoes Adam’s fall (Romans 5:19). It doesn’t merely inform; it leads the hearer to marvel at the grace of God that meets us in our total depravity.

Main Texts: 1 Corinthians 1:26–31, 1 Corinthians 2:1–5

In this part of the Learning from the Corinthians series, the preacher unpacks how worldly wisdom and godly wisdom operate on entirely different planes and why this distinction is vital for the Christian walk. Focusing on Paul’s letter to the Corinthians, the sermon confronts the hidden ways Christians embrace worldly standards under spiritual pretences—especially in the form of the prosperity gospel, power obsession, and misplaced spiritual priorities.

Key insights from the message include:

God delights in using what the world considers low, weak, and foolish to display His glory
The true good is not riches, power, or success, but reconciliation with God through Christ
The prosperity gospel's greatest evil is that it teaches believers to agree with the world on what is “good,” rather than being transformed by the Word
Real spiritual maturity involves detoxing from inherited cultural idolatry—especially in contexts influenced by animistic or power-based worldviews
Faithfulness to God is often mocked by the world, but on the last day, God will vindicate His own

You’ll be challenged to reflect on what your “most” and “main” thing is—what you treasure above all else. Is it Christ or comfort? Is it Jesus or just what He can give? This sermon is a stirring call to reorient our desires around the cross, not consumerism—to boast not in wealth or wonders, but in the wisdom of God revealed in Christ.

Please listen and share.

In a world filled with unending desires and hollow pursuits, this sermon explores the human longing for true satisfaction—a longing that can only be met in Christ. Drawing from Isaiah’s prophetic call to "come and buy without money" and Jesus’ profound declaration in John 6, “I am the Bread of Life,” the preacher addresses the universal human experience of soul-hunger and spiritual thirst.

This message:

Exposes how we often seek fulfillment in material success, approval, influence, or comfort—what Scripture calls “bread that does not satisfy” (Isaiah 55:2)
Shows how Christ alone is the Bread that satisfies, offering life, peace, and hope to all who believe
Unpacks why adding prosperity, influence, or healing as prerequisites for belief undermines the sufficiency of Christ
Reminds us of the Gospel’s power to satisfy the soul, not through gimmicks, but by the convicting and drawing work of the Holy Spirit
Encourages believers to build spiritual resilience through Word, worship, and mutual encouragement as we wait for the eternal satisfaction of God's kingdom

We are invited to reevaluate the deepest desires of their hearts and find hope in the One who alone promises, “Whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.”

In this sermon, Samuel Oyeyinka continues the expository of 1 Corinthians. Focusing on 1 Corinthians 1:18-31, he explains how the wisdom of God contrasts with the wisdom of the world.

He emphasizes that the world sees the gospel as foolish because it values worldly wisdom. But to those who believe, the cross is the power of God. The two worldviews are incompatible—believers will always seem foolish to the world.

He explains that worldly wisdom cannot lead to God. The world values intellectual pride, self-sufficiency, and material success, but God chooses what the world rejects. Believers must reject worldly thinking and trust in God's wisdom.

He makes it clear that the world and the church have different definitions of "the good." The world seeks self-glorification, success, and pleasure. Christians seek holiness, obedience, and eternal life with God. Because their goals are different, they will always oppose each other.

Conclusion:

He reminds us that the cross is the ultimate wisdom and power of God, and we must reject the temptation to seek approval from the world.

Seye Maj' in this sermon explores the biblical doctrine of the fall of man and his inability to do good. He explores this topic under the following themes.

The Original State of Man: Created Good in God’s Image

Man was created good, righteous, and holy, capable of following God’s will. Seye Maj' emphasizes that man was not originally sinful—he was created to obey God freely.

Man’s Fall: The Entrance of Sin and Death

Man willingly disobeyed God by listening to Satan. Sin brought death, both physically and spiritually. Because of Adam’s sin, all humanity is now fallen and corrupt.

The Effects of the Fall: Total Inability to Do Good

Because of sin, man is now spiritually dead and cannot seek God. Man's mind is darkened, his will is enslaved to sin, and he is incapable of true righteousness. doctrine refutes the idea that humans are naturally good or can save themselves.

What Remains of God’s Image in Fallen Man?

Though the image of God is marred by sin, some remnants remain. Man still has reason, a sense of morality, and the ability to appreciate beauty. This is why even unbelievers can do "good" things outwardly, but not in a way that pleases God.

Conclusion: Man’s Only Hope is in Christ

Because of sin, man cannot come to God unless God first draws him. Salvation is entirely by grace—no one can earn it. Only through faith in Christ can a person be restored to God.

Seye Maj emphasizes that our ability to heed the call of the gospel is not out of our ability to do good but out of God's graciousness to call us to himself, and that inspires doxology in us not a sense of superiority.

Brother Sam continues the expository teaching of 1 Corinthians Chapter 1. In this sermon, he addresses wrong attitudes toward faith, church division, and human wisdom.

Faith as an End in Itself, Not a Tool:

Many people today treat faith as a way to get blessings. True faith is about trusting God for who He is, not for what He can give us.

True Unity is Centered on Christ, Not Human Leaders or Personalities:

The Corinthian church was divided into factions, with some saying, "I follow Paul," others "I follow Apollos," and others "I follow Cephas (Peter)." Many churches today fall into the same trap, where believers are more loyal to pastors, denominations, or movements than to Christ. True unity is not about following a leader—it is about following Jesus. Brother Sam warned against the false idea that unity means accepting every belief for the sake of peace. Many people today compromise biblical truth to avoid offending others. However, true unity is built on sound doctrine—believers must be united in the gospel, not in false teachings. Apostle Paul taught that we must stand firm on biblical truth, even if it causes division with those who reject it.

3. On Baptism

Brother Sam emphsized that baptism is an act of obedience and identification with Christ. Baptism symbolizes a believer’s union with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection. It is a public testimony that the believer is now dead to sin and alive in Christ. The act of immersion in water illustrates being buried with Christ and raised to new life and we're called to remember it always an ordinary means of grace the Lord gave to us.

Seye Maj' in this sermon exposes Article 13 of the Belgic Confession, focusing on God’s active rule over creation. It highlights God’s sovereignty, wisdom, and care, contrasting biblical providence with three false philosophies that distort the relationship between God and creation.

We look at this article in 4 major themes:

The Definition of Divine Providence: God did not create the world and then abandon it—He is actively involved in every detail of creation. Nothing happens by chance; everything is governed by God’s will and wisdom. (Acts 17:25-28, Matthew 10:29-30)
How Providence Brings Comfort to Believers: Because God is in control, nothing can happen outside His will. Even in suffering, we can trust that God is working for our good. (Lamentations 3:21-23, Romans 8:28)
Three False Philosophies That deny Divine Providence
Epicureanism: Everything Happens by Chance
Stoicism: Everything is Fated and Fixed
Peripateticism: God Set Things in Motion but Isn’t Involved
Biblical Proofs That God is Actively Involved in His Creation: God gives life and sustains everything (Acts 17:25-28). Even the smallest details (sparrows, hair) are under God’s control Matthew 10:29-30.

In conclusion, we see that God is actively working in His creation, ruling over all things for His glory and our good.

Brother Sam begins a new expository teaching series on the book of 1st Corinthians. He explores the historical, cultural, and spiritual background of the Corinthian church. He also explains sanctification—what it means to be set apart for God.

Corinth was wealthy, diverse, and immoral. The city was a major centre for trade and was full of different religious influences. Corinth was known for sexual immorality, and the term "to Corinthianize" meant to engage in depraved living. Paul planted a church there, but they struggled with division, immorality, and spiritual immaturity.

Understanding Sanctification: Sanctified means being set apart for God. Sanctification has two aspects:

Positional Sanctification: We are declared holy in Christ. (1 Corinthians 1:2)
Progressive Sanctification: We grow in holiness daily. (2 Corinthians 7:1)

The two common misunderstandings about Sanctification are

Antinomianism (False grace) – "Since we are sanctified, we don’t need to strive for holiness." Legalism – "We must reach a certain level of holiness to be accepted by God."

In this sermon, Brother Sam explores Article 12 of the Belgic Confession, which affirms God as the Creator of all things—both visible and invisible. He highlights that God alone is eternal, and everything else, including the universe, was created out of nothing by His sovereign will. This doctrine not only establishes God’s supreme authority but also clarifies the purpose of creation, the role of humanity, the spiritual realm, and the sustaining power of God.

Throughout the sermon, Brother Sam systematically breaks down 11 key points regarding creation, supporting them with extensive biblical references. The discussion challenges misconceptions, including naturalistic views, dualistic philosophies, and false doctrines regarding the origin of evil.

In this sermon, the final part of the Because He Loves Us series, Brother Sam presents a deep and challenging call to believers to love God sincerely, fully, and without hypocrisy. The message highlights that God's unconditional love demands a response—not mere lip service but genuine devotion from the heart.

Brother Sam addresses the dangers of hypocrisy, the misconceptions about God’s love, and the cultural influences that hinder true faith. He urges believers to align with God's definition of love rather than the world’s, emphasizing that God deserves our complete and sincere love.

Sin is a reality that every believer must confront. But what does true repentance entail? In this bible study with Sis Ijeoma, we embark on an in-depth biblical journey into the nature of sin and the process of genuine repentance, examining how believers ought to respond when faced with their shortcomings. Drawing from both the Old and New Testaments, we highlight the difference between worldly sorrow and godly repentance, the consequences of unrepentant sin, and the hope of forgiveness through Christ.

"How We Want to Be Loved vs. How God Loves Us"

Building on Part 1, Brother Sam explores why people struggle to recognize and accept God’s love. Many misunderstand divine love because they desire to be loved differently than how God loves them.

The Misconception About Love Languages

People expect love in specific ways (e.g., gifts, acts of service) and feel unloved when God doesn’t meet their expectations. God’s love is not about meeting human desires but about doing what is eternally best for us. 2. God’s Love vs. The World’s Love

1 John 2:15-17 – The world teaches that love is about pleasure and self-fulfillment, but God’s love is about truth and transformation. God's love language is our sanctification. 3. Love and Suffering

Romans 8:18 tells us our present sufferings are nothing compared to the glory that will be revealed. God's love language to us. The presence of suffering does not mean God does not love us; rather, He can and uses suffering for our good. 4. The Call to Love God in Return

1 John 4:19: "We love because He first loved us." True faith is marked by a response of trust, obedience, and devotion to the God who loves us. God called us not to satisfy our earthly idea of what love is, but to serve and worship Him as He the Israelites from Egypt.

God's love does not always feel the way we want it to, but it is always exactly what we need. The sermon challenges believers to adjust their expectations and fully embrace the reality of God’s love.

"Jesus and the Holy Spirit: True and Eternal God"

In this sermon, Brother Sam delves into the deity of Christ and the Holy Spirit, emphasizing their full divinity as revealed in Scripture and affirmed in Articles 10 & 11 of the Belgic Confession. Many false teachings have attempted to diminish the divinity of Jesus and the Holy Spirit, but Scripture provides overwhelming evidence that both are true and eternal God.

Brother Sam begins a new teaching series on God's Love. In this sermon, Brother Sam exhorts us on the true nature of God’s love, challenging common misconceptions and calling believers to build their lives on the unshakable reality of divine love. 1 John 3:1 is the foundation:
"See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God."

He discusses the following points during the sermon:

God's Love is a Brute Fact: God loves us not because of what we do but because of who He is.
Why Many Struggle to Feel God’s Love: People expect love to be emotional or material, but biblical love is deeper. Many compare God’s love to human relationships, leading to false expectations.
God's Love and suffering: Hebrews 12:6 tells us "The Lord disciplines those He loves." Suffering is not a sign that God has abandoned us but a tool He uses to refine us.
The Greatest Expression of God’s Love: The Cross is the ultimate display of divine love. Romans 8:38-39 – Nothing can separate us from the love of God.

Brother Sam encourages us to stop basing our view of God's love on emotions and circumstances. Instead, we are encouraged to trust in God's unchanging commitment as revealed through Christ.

How can God be one and yet exist as three persons? While the word Trinity is not found in Scripture, the revelation of God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is undeniable throughout the Bible.

Brother Sam in this sermon explores Articles 8 & 9 of the Belgic Confession, which affirm that God is one essence yet eternally distinguished in three persons.

This foundational doctrine has been challenged by sceptics, cults, and even some within the church, but the Bible leaves no room for doubt—the Triune God is the true and only God.

Formed by the Gospel: Identity, Transformation, and Devotion

What does it mean to be truly shaped by the Gospel? Pastor Femi in this sermon unpacksTitus 3:5-8, where Paul describes the effects of salvation—our past justification, our future hope, and our present devotion to doing good.

Just as a language is learned through immersion, so too must believers be intentionally formed by the Gospel. We also examine the dangers of bad formation (worldly influences) and malformation (distorted Christian living), drawing fromEphesians 4:17-24.

This message calls us to actively grow in Christ, ensuring that our identity is continually shaped by God’s truth rather than by the culture around us.

The Sufficiency of the Holy Scriptures to be the Only Rule of FaithIs the Bible truly enough for the Christian life? In this Bible study, Brother Sam explores Article 7 of the Belgic Confession, which affirms the absolute sufficiency of the Holy Scriptures as the only rule of faith.

Through passages like2 Timothy 3:15-17, we see how the Scriptures fully equip believers for salvation and godly living. We also reflect on warnings against adding to or subtracting from God's Word (Revelation 22:18-19, Proverbs 30:5-6) and the dangers of seeking extra-biblical revelations.

This message is a powerful reminder that God's Word is complete, authoritative, and the foundation upon which we build our faith.

"Rescued from the Present Evil Age: A Call to Gospel Clarity"

What does it mean to be delivered from this world? In this sermon, Brother Seye, based on Galatians 1:3-5, examines Paul’s urgent message to the Galatians about the sufficiency of Christ’s sacrifice.

Jesus gave Himself for our sins not only to secure our salvation but also to rescue us from the corrupt systems of this present evil age. Drawing from 1 John 2:15-17, we explore how believers are called to live distinct from the world, resisting its sinful desires.

This message challenges us to hold fast to the Gospel, reject false teachings, and live as those transformed by grace.

Sis. Ifeanyi exhorts us

Pastor Osinachi exhorts us from Isaiah 6 on Isaiah's Vision of God.

What does it mean to truly see God?

Pastor Osinachi in this sermon unpacks Isaiah 6:1-7, where the prophet Isaiah receives a life-altering vision of God's holiness and glory. Through this encounter, Pastor Osinachi explores the necessity of knowing God for spiritual growth, holiness, and fruitful ministry. Echoing John 17:3, we see that eternal life is found in knowing the one true God and Jesus Christ whom He has sent. Isaiah’s response—his confession of sin and subsequent cleansing—reminds us that true encounters with God lead to repentance and transformation. This message challenges us to examine our vision of God and how it shapes our lives.

Money is an instrument that God uses for our preservation, but it is not the source of our sustenance, God is. Regardless of our material circumstances, we know that as long as we have God, all that we require to live meaningfully will be made available to us.As Christians, we do not orient ourselves towards the pursuit of money; instead, we orient ourselves Godward. Our meaning, identity, and fulfilment can only be found in Christ, who has redeemed us unto Himself and called us into His kingdom.

What makes the Bible the inspired Word of God?

Brother Seye Maj' in this sermon unpacks Articles 3-5 of the Belgic Confession, emphasizing the divine inspiration of Scripture as expressed in 2 Peter 1:21.

He explores the authorship of Scripture—human writers guided by divine inspiration—and sees how God’s Word serves as His faithful testimony to humanity. Through references like 2 Timothy 3:16, we reflect on how Scripture teaches, corrects, and trains believers in righteousness.

This message also highlights Jesus’ view of the Old Testament as the authoritative Word of God in Matthew 4:4-10. Perfect for those desiring a deeper trust in the infallibility of God’s Word.

Brother Sam in this sermon continues his exposition on the concept of common and special grace, showing how God’s sovereignty sustains all creation.

Drawing from Psalm 115:3, we are reminded that God’s care for creation ensures beauty and order in a broken world. Through passages like 1 Timothy 6:17, we are admonished to learn to trust God as the giver of all things rather than idolizing wealth or work.

He also encourages dignity in all work, highlighting the importance of contributing to “common grace” through labour that blesses others (Psalm 127:1-2).

He examines practical and biblical steps to approach our work and contribute to common grace.

Brother Seye begins an exposition on the article of the Blegic confession, which we hold to as a reformed church. In this message, he reflects on the importance of historical confessions in preserving and passing down sound doctrine to future generations.

What do we believe about God? He explores the profound truths of Article 1 of the Belgic Confession, emphasizing God's oneness, simplicity, and perfection. Drawing from passages like Deuteronomy 6:4, and Exodus 34:6-7,

He delves into God's attributes—His justice, love, and eternal nature. Discover how God is not a fragmented being but a perfect and complete unity in His attributes. We see why understanding these truths is essential for grounding our faith in a post-Christian world.

Please listen and share

Brother Sam starts a new series on what common grace, special grace and how this relates to our work ethic.

The message focuses on how God lifts us through humility within the church. In the world, meritocracy defines value; you reap what you sow, and effort determines reward. While this principle works in society, it doesn’t apply to God’s grace. His blessings can’t be earned; they are gifts. Like Jacob in Genesis 27, we often strive to qualify for God’s favour, pretending to be something we’re not, much like Jacob wearing Esau’s skin. But unlike Isaac, God isn’t blind. He sees our true selves and loves us regardless of our efforts or failures.

Pretending to have it all together leads to pride, making us unteachable. A closed, guarded heart leaves no room for God’s grace to flow. We fall into the trap of legalism, thinking we can work our way into God’s favour, which only leads to anxiety, fear, and disappointment. But God’s love is not based on merit. Jacob’s blessing was ordained long before his birth, just as God’s love for us was settled before we did anything to deserve it.

True humility requires vulnerability, admitting that we don’t have it all figured out. This openness is essential not only with God but also within the church community. Mutual vulnerability creates mutual protection. When we confess our struggles instead of hiding behind a facade, we better reflect God’s heart and build a church rooted in grace, not appearances. Pretending to be perfect isolates us, while honesty invites healing and spiritual growth.

Jacob’s turning point came when he finally surrendered and wrestled with God in Genesis 32:22-32. Only when he admitted his need did God bless him and give him a new name. In the same way, we must come to the end of ourselves, acknowledging our emptiness so God can fill us. The church should be where grace flows through honesty, correction, and mercy. Though vulnerability is frightening, God helps us through it, lifting us when we humble ourselves under His mighty hand. Come as you are; not because you are worthy, but because He is.

Brother Sam teaches about the comfort that can be gleaned from the Incarnation.

The assurance the Lord offers us from the story of our Saviour's Incarnation

Brother Sam takes us through the incarnation story across the gospels.

In this sermon, Brother Sam emphasizes the fundamental qualities of a true Christian church, distinguishing it from what he calls "trans churches" that appear as churches but lack authentic spiritual substance. He highlights three defining marks of a true church:

Apostolic Doctrine: A genuine church is built on the teachings of the apostles and prophets, with Christ as the cornerstone. It must align with scriptural truth, rejecting distortions or additions to the gospel.
Faithful Leadership: Church leaders must possess sound character and competence, be accountable and above reproach, exemplify integrity in their personal lives, and exhibit humility and responsibility in teaching and pastoral duties.
Love in Action: The church must serve as a haven, demonstrating God’s love through care, discipline, and unity. Spiritual gifts and resources are to be used to edify the congregation and address members’ needs, not for self-promotion or superficial purposes.

He also underscores the importance of the sacraments, such as baptism and communion, as vital expressions of faith and remembrance.

Brother Seye share what it means to be a Christian with an emphasis on being being biblical.

The message focuses on how God lifts us through humility within the church. In the world, meritocracy defines value; you reap what you sow, and effort determines reward. While this principle works in society, it doesn’t apply to God’s grace. His blessings can’t be earned; they are gifts.

Brother Seye gives a short exhortation on why we need to evangelize. We hope this blesses you and inspiries you to pray for our evangelism effort

Pastor Bayo guides us through the scriptures, carefully examining the text to reveal the true manifestation of the Sons of God.

He also comforts us as apostle Peter did in his first letter with the hope of Christ's resurrection, and admonishes us to steward creation as new creations.

Brother Seye teaches what it truly means to wait on the Lord.

What it means to be satisfied in the Lord.

The story of Naaman, the Syrian commander, is a powerful reminder of humanity’s deep need for God’s grace and the futility of seeking fulfilment outside Him. Naaman was a man of great power and influence, celebrated for his victories and status, yet he carried a devastating flaw—leprosy. This affliction is a metaphor for the condition of every human soul: no matter how much glory we attain in the world, there is always a “but,” a spiritual nakedness that we cannot cover on our own.

Glory, in its truest sense, belongs only to God. His perfection, fullness, and sufficiency make Him completely glorious. While the Bible attributes a sense of glory to humanity, it is never on the same scale as God’s. Adam was created with glory, but he lost it when he fell into sin. This loss left humanity naked and ashamed, constantly striving to regain the weight and significance we instinctively know we were made to possess. Yet, no pursuit apart from God can restore us.

We often look to power, influence, relationships, or material success to fill the void within us. Like Naaman, we attempt to use our achievements to mask our souls' brokenness, but no worldly success can heal spiritual leprosy. It is not wrong to desire glory—God placed that desire in us—but true glory can only be found in Christ. The problem lies in our attempts to find fullness where it cannot be found, settling for things that are beneath us instead of looking to the One above us.

Naaman’s journey to healing began when he humbled himself and submitted to God’s terms. Initially, his pride resisted the simplicity of the prophet Elisha’s instruction to wash in the Jordan River. It seemed too ordinary, too beneath his dignity. But this was God’s way of showing him—and us—that we cannot dictate the terms of our salvation. We must abandon our glory, recognize the corruption within us, and come to Him in humility. Naaman’s eventual obedience led to his physical healing and, more importantly, a revelation of God’s power and sufficiency.

God’s dealings with Naaman reveal a universal truth: we are far more unworthy than we realize, and our need for grace is greater than we often admit. Yet God, in His kindness, invites us to experience His glory and be made whole in Him. We must surrender our illusions of control, trust His wisdom, and recognize that His ways are higher than ours.

This story is a call to stop striving after things that cannot be satisfied and instead look up to the God who can. It reminds us that no man, beast, or earthly substance can elevate us; only God can restore the glory we have lost. Like Naaman, we must come to Him as lepers in need of grace, acknowledging our brokenness and trusting in His sufficiency.

May our prayer be, “Lord, show me who I am so I can look up to You. Help me to abandon my glory and come to You as I truly am, in need of Your healing and grace.”

Brother Sam concludes the teaching series by emphasizing the necessity of prayer in dealing with suffering.

Prayer is a means of grace that God has given us in this world to conform us to the image of the Son and to point us to our blessed hope in heaven.

He highlights 2 things that prayer does

In the mercy of God, prayer can alleviate suffering, lighten burdens and turn circumstances around
⁠Prayer can change our perspective when God decides that suffering is necessary to draw us nearer to Him.

Brother Kingsley takes us on a bible study of Temptations and trials and the work they do in us.

Brother Sam starts a new series on how to handle suffering.

In this message, he explains how suffering is expected in our lifes as believers and why there is suffering in this world, but he also talks about the hope we have in the Lord.

The wrath of God has been revealed against all unrighteousness. For the unbeliever, this is a cause for alarm because God is holy and a just judge who will address all iniquity. For the one who is saved and has been justified in Christ, it is a warning to live in repentance, honoring the salvation of the Lord.

The fear of the Lord necessitates holiness. As we delight in our salvation and the magnitude of God’s mercy on our brokenness, we must also respond to God’s pull in our hearts to mirror His righteous state. We must also persuade those in our lives not to fall into the hands of God living in iniquity. For without holiness, no man shall see the Lord.

Are we to love God or fear God? Are these positions contradictory or complimentary? We see injunctions in the scripture to love the Lord with all our heart and then again we are admonished that the fear of the Lord is wisdom. Which is it?

The fear of God is an active awareness of God’s holiness, commandments and judgments in how we conduct our affairs. The scripture prescribes this for all men because this is how we abide in the will of God and honour His covenant.

To love God is to keep in step with His precepts. It is the vigilance to live in obedience knowing that everything God requires leads to our ultimate good. This is why the Psalmists wrote extensively on delighting in the laws of God and testified to the treasure of His precepts.

Sister Ifeanyi teaches on an aspect of God's sovereignty. She helps us carefully navigate the concept of God controlling everything and the role our agency plays.

Raising godly homes, like any other Christian calling, has its roots in the gospel. The more we behold the cross, the clearer we can ascertain God's demands for each member of a household.

This marital union comes with privileges and responsibilities. What is not often emphasized in our culture is the seriousness of a marital oath's responsibilities. For a covenant meant to last a lifetime, it is wisdom not to decide on who to be with based on fleeting attributes—qualities that depreciate as the years go by.

Rather, the man or woman of God, guided by scripture, is expected to decide on a partner who shares a common faith and hope and whose life is ruled by God's love. These are values that are forever appreciated.

God has a vision for fruitfulness and multiplication for every marital union. And it is the will of God for every home to be filled with children as God graces those in covenant.

Godly masculinity at its very core is an election of service. Men are called to serve their families sacrificially in the same way Christ demonstrated His love to the church. Men ought to be imitators of Christ first before anything else. Everything he does as a leader of the home is unto God as one who will be held accountable for the family affairs.

Godly femininity is rooted in an identity in Christ. Ladies are first called to flourish as fervent Christians, offering their lives unto God which is their reasonable worship before they are called to anything else. In the home, God demands that ladies support and build with the one they are betrothed to in fulfilling the commission of God upon the family to be fruitful and multiply.

Godly parenting is a responsibility unto God. Parents are merely stewards of God’s gifts. The love of the father in the home is meant to portray the unconditional love God has for His children, the care and nurture of the mother ought to model the attentiveness and affection of a loving God who is committed to our good at all times, even when we have nothing to offer Him.

Even in how discipline is done in the home, how career paths are chosen, and the way children are instructed to live, all of these must be done in honour of God’s vision for families, which is for each person to thrive in accordance with His will.

Bro. Kingsley admonishes us to self-reflect on our priorities

Brother Sam continues the teaching series with a particular emphasis on the idol of pleasure and how it creates a wedge between us and God. Establishing from the onset that what we need to contend for is God’s will for our lives and not glory. Glory belongs to God alone. We are called to look for the good in our lives as we fulfil God's purpose, therein lies true and godly fulfillment.

Referencing the temptation of Jesus in Luke 4:9, Brother Sam explains how the devil sought to get the Lord to act outside the Father’s will by doing something that seemed good but was not expedient before the sight of God. Explaining how the retort of Jesus not to test God was a common temptation the Israelites struggled with in the wilderness [Deut 6:16/Exodus 17:2] — where their selfish desires and even pressing needs blinded them from the faithfulness of God and drove them into rebellion.

Murmuring is often an indicator of an idol in our hearts because it doesn’t view God as ultimately in control of our lives. Murmuring almost always leads to blasphemy and testing God because it stems from the notion that God is withholding something good from us, which is contrary to His nature as one who does only what is perfect and good.

Bro. Sam goes in to explain hedonistic prayers. These are prayers that are predicated on our own lusts and not the will of God. They exalt our desires perpetually and not the kingdom of God. And this comes with a cost because the cost of anything we desire more than God is God. The more consumed we become by our desires, the less of God we see in our lives.

The solution to constantly indulging in the lust of our hearts isn’t just resisting these idols but replacing them with something greater: the love of God. Only when His love grows stronger in our hearts can it expel the false joys we cling to. Through thanksgiving, meditation, and obedience, duty transforms into delight.

In moments of weakness, we are called to remember that all our strength lies in Christ. Constantly run back to God—He knows your frailty, and only He can help you overcome it. Pursue what is good in God’s sight, not your own. Let His love be your true satisfaction.

Bro. Murewa takes us through the story of Jonah to see how our preaching of the gospel, even in uncomfortable situations, is required of us as an expression of God's mercy.

In today’s message, the focus was on the dangers of fear and how Satan uses it to lead us into idolatry. Referencing Luke 4:1, the sermon explained that fear can drive us to place our trust in things other than God—whether it’s money, status, or the approval of others. The fear of lacking material security often leads to worshipping money, but true fulfilment comes from serving God, not wealth. Living for God brings lasting satisfaction.

The importance of practices like the Sabbath, fasting, and giving was also highlighted, showing how they help prevent idols from creeping into our lives. These actions serve as reminders that our trust is in God, not in possessions or human praise.

Luke 4:5-8 further revealed Satan’s deception, claiming authority over the world when, in reality, all power belongs to God. Satan rules through sin and death but lacks true power. His temptations target our ego and desire for validation, but seeking glory from people rather than God leads to emptiness, as mentioned in John 12:43.

In Genesis 32:24-28, Jacob’s story illustrates how true satisfaction comes from finding our identity in God. Chasing approval or recognition from others never fulfils, but God gives us a name and purpose.

Galatians 1:10 reminds us to seek God’s approval over human praise. The sermon encouraged everyone to spend time with God, as nothing will make sense if He isn’t real in your life.

Bro. Kingsley admonished us to reflect on who we we serve

Brother Sam continues this teaching series and begins to hone in on the idols in our context.

Money.

Brother Sam reminds us of 1 John 2:15, that no one can love the world and love the Father in Heaven. Apostle John merely reechoes the words of his Master; our Master: it is impossible to serve God and Mammon.

Money replaces God in our lives by promising (like all idols do) only what God can fill in our lives. Money brings a sense of security, removes seeming limitations, and connects us with the high and mighty, yet pushes God into the periphery of our consciousness.

Idols do not mind sharing. So the love of money can mask itself as a means to also loving God. But Paul tells Timothy that the desire for money brings piercings with many sorrows.

The idol of money ultimately shows what we fear. Only God is allowed to have our love and fear, our Devotion, and our devotion.

But the sermon does not leave us without a sense of hope. For the God who by the Holy Spirit exposes our idols, it also shows us how to keep them under. “For godliness with contentment is great gain”. A heart that is content with God; knowing fully well that He will never leave us or forsake us is a heart that is yielded to God. A heart that can conquer our contextual idol of money

Sister Ijeoma continues the bible study on the book of John 8

She spoke about 3 things

Knowing the truth
The fact that the truth will set you free
Hindrances to believing the truth

Brother Sam ushers us into the second part of this series on Overcoming the World by boldly saying: “Whatever you desire more than you desire, God is an idol.”

Exegeting Colossians 3:5, he describes idolatry as a deep, inordinate longing or affection for anything but God. Whatever we use to answer the question of life’s meaning is our idol. Whatever satiates the void of happiness, meaning and identity in our lives more than God does, is an idol.

He, however, draws our minds to a very strange phenomenon: Our idols need us to lead us. Our idols are not as powerful as we think; they draw their strength from our devotion and desires. We carry our idols; we give them the control that they wield over us. Our idols do not move unless we move them. We have to be co-perpetrators with our idols for them to destroy us. (Isaiah 46:5-7).

And idols do destroy, he emphasizes. There are no neutral idols. Our idols neither leave us the same nor leave us any better. They demand from us more than they could ever promise to give us—they use and abuse us.

What then is the antidote to our idols, one might wonder? He leads us to Colossians 3:1-4 for the answer: It is Christ who is our LIFE. It is in setting our minds on Him, and on those things are above, that the hold our idols have on us is loosed. It is in persuading our hearts to remember, not just the holiness of, but also, the loveliness of our Lord that the potency of our idols is weakened. He calls it “the explosive power of a new affection.”

You will find this sermon equally convicting and encouraging. Be blessed as you listen.

Bro. Maj concludes the teaching series on the book on Hebrews

Brother Sam begins a new teaching series he titles Overcoming The World.

He opens up with Jesus’ address in Matthew 7:21-23, about ‘That Day’ soon to come, when those who have professed the Name of the Lord with their lips—as a tool for the advancement of their agendas—without true regard for, or obedience to, that Name, will receive due compensation for their evil-doing.

He echoes the teachings of scripture about eternal rest as the heritage of the Lord’s people but emphasizes that the “Lord’s people” are those who have known Him as Lord in word, in heart, and deed. These are the ones to whom Jesus will never say, “I do not know you”; the ones He will not deny.

Brother Sam implores us to sober reflection, reminding us that at the end of the day, what truly matters is a person doing the will of the Lord. “Results” and “proofs” might be impressive for a myopic world that cannot see beyond their noses, but before the holy, omniscient God who judges the intent of men’s hearts, those who do His will are those in whom He truly delights. And God’s will is not nebulous or subject to personal interpretation. It is clearly defined in scripture, in Jesus’ answer to the lawyer who asked Him what the greatest command in the Law was: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” (Matthew‬ ‭22‬:‭37‬-‭39‬)

This is the summary of the matter: to love the Lord with your yearnings, your consciousness, your reason—to love Him with everything you have and are—and from that overflow of affection, to love the people He has made. This is what doing the will of God looks like.

As he brings the sermon to a close, he cautions that a burdensome Christianity is strange and should never be settled for. Sanctification in Christ is delightful, and a person who knows that they have God as their portion has a contentment and joy that can never be taken away regardless of circumstance.

You will find much to ponder and pray about as you listen to this. Be blessed.

David and Goliath. In this sermon, Brother Sam explains the story of David and Goliath and how it describes us as New Testament believers.

We have been told that we are David, striking down our Goliath of poverty and penury, delay in our promotions, limitations, marital difficulties, etc. Like David, we are told that we are to sling our smooth stones of powerful confessions that will bring Goliath down and usher us into our Kingship and priestly offices in any sphere of life on this earth.

Brother Sam shows us that the problem with this narrative is that life doesn’t always answer to our “stones” of faith and Goliath seems to rise each time we “strike” him down.

We are not David. We are weak and sickly. We were swallowed up in our sins. We are more like the people of Israel in the story. Fearful and unable to devise a plan to handle Goliath.

Goliath truly represents our sin and defilement. The defeat of sin came through the true and better David. Our Lord Jesus Christ. Who after defeating the Goliath of our sins screamed at us to pursue and plunder.

For our greatest enemy is not poverty or lack, sickness or pain but Sin that separates us from God.

Jesus our true and better David has conquered sin and drawn us to Himself

Brother Seye continues the series on the Beholding the Son and ushers us into His high Priestly ministry

The teaching begins with a reference to Genesis 14, the only passage the speaks of Melchizedek and the prophecy in Psalms 110:1-4 in which David declares that the Second Person of the Trinity (Our Lord Jesus) is a priest forever after the Order of Melchizedek.

The scriptures say “the order” because Melchizedek’s ministry is not recorded with a reference to his beginning or ending (genealogy) nor a levitical transfer of priesthood as a result of death.

Christ is then shown to be of that order, for His priesthood has no beginning or ending after the order of an endless life.

His priesthood is a perfect one, superior to the inadequacy of the previous priesthood which was useless in impacting life to its hearers but highlighting the sin and death in our members.

The new covenant according to this eternal priesthood after the order of Melchizedek perfects those who place their hope in the finished work of Jesus.

In this concluding part of the “Do You Love Me?” series, Brother Seye exegetes 1 Corinthians 12—the notable chapter on spiritual gifts.

He begins by underscoring the necessity of having the right motives, as we desire and believe God for these things. There is a temptation to dabble into simony where spiritual gifts are concerned—to forget that they are primarily GIFTS, given by the discretion of the Giver—and to garner methods/means by which we think we can come upon these endowments on our own. He keenly warns against this, and urges us to probe the motives of our hearts, as we desire spiritual gifts.

He goes further to say that the work of the Holy Spirit, in exercising spiritual gifts through the saints, is for the exaltation of the Lordship of Jesus and His Body—the Church. It is not for the glorification of any one man. He echoes that the gifts of the Spirit are expressions of God’s goodness to the Churchwe, and that we through whom the gifts are expressed, are merely stewards of the varied grace of God.

He sets forth three attitudes that the Church, as Christ’s Body, should have towards spiritual gifts:

WE MUST DESIRE IT. As it has been established that the gifts are given for service and the common good, we must actively desire to see a church community full of cheerful and faithful servants, with the endowments of the Spirit, working for the good of all the brethren. (1 Corinthians 1:4-7, 1 Corinthians 13:8-12)
WE MUST MAKE ROOM FOR IT. We must actively seek out opportunities as individuals in the Body to serve, since God has graced us all, in some capacity, to be supplying joints for the good of the whole Body. (1 Peter 4:10)
WE MUST FAN TO FLAMES. Spiritual gifts can be neglected and their expressions can wane, thus the instruction to fan to flames; to wittingly apply ourselves in the exercise of the abilities given to us by the Spirit of God. (1 Timothy 4:14, Romans 12:6-8, 2 Timothy 1:6-7)

Be blessed as you listen.

The Son. Our great High Priest

Brother Seye continues the series on the Beholding the Son and ushers us into His high Priestly ministry

The teaching begins with a reference to Genesis 14, the only passage the speaks of Melchizedek and the prophecy in Psalms 110:1-4 in which David declares that the Second Person of the Trinity (Our Lord Jesus) is a priest forever after the Order of Melchizedek.

The scriptures say “the order” because Melchizedek’s ministry is not recorded with a reference to his beginning or ending (genealogy) nor a levitical transfer of priesthood as a result of death.

Christ is then shown to be of that order, for His priesthood has no beginning or ending after the order of an endless life.

His priesthood is perfect, superior to the inadequacy of the previous priesthood which was useless in impacting life to its hearers but highlighting the sin and death in our members.

The new covenant according to this eternal priesthood after the order of Melchizedek perfects those who place their hope in the finished work of Jesus.

Building on the foundation he laid last week as we began the “Do You Love Me?” series, Brother Seye reminds us that love is an intangible virtue made tangible by our actions. However, he emphasized, we cannot forget that even though it is our actions that give verity to our profession of love, the intangible virtue of love in itself is a supply of the Spirit, given in the quickening of regeneration, to the heart that is born anew in Christ.

Therefore, genuine love can only be demonstrated by a heart that has come to genuine faith. For it is the Holy Spirit that causes our hearts, in the New Creation, to comprehend the Father’s love and respond accordingly to it. Love, thus, is the fruit of authentic belief.

Brother Seye also instructs us with the scriptures' command to confirm our love for God by loving one another. One of the ways we have been enjoined to do this is by seeking to serve one another with our spiritual gifts.

Referencing Wayne Grudem (1994), he explains a spiritual gift as any ability that is empowered by the Holy Spirit and used in any ministry of the church. This includes those gifts that correspond with our natural capacities [like the ability to teach, manage, give or lead], and those that are beyond the scope of our natural capacities [like the ability to prophesy, speak with tongues, do miracles or walk in gifts of healing].

He provides three markers for identifying a spiritual gift:

It is empowered by the Holy Spirit.
It is used in the ministry of the Church.
It is for the common good.

He also answers the question of how one can find their spiritual gift and place in the Body of Christ.

As always, you will find this to be an edifying listen. Be blessed.

Brother Seye continues the teaching series on the book of Hebrews and handles the difficult Chapter 6

He first expounds that the knowledge in Hebrews 6, described as foundational doesn’t in any way suggest there’s something esoteric to move on to but rather a progression in the things the Hebrews Christians once received.

Secondly, in the spirit of the warnings of apostasy, Brother Seye shows us that falling away is not a low moment a Christian has, but is a result of a process of consistent hardening by the deceitfulness of sin that compounds in rejecting the truth once had once received.

He concludes by showing us that chapter 6 tells us that good works (7-10) are proof of an active working faith.

We hope this series blesses you

Brother Seye begins this teaching series by setting forth what genuine love for God means in its proper light—not the outburst of soppy, sentimental emotions during worship, but the readiness of a heart to do the will of God even, and especially, when the tank of feelings is running red.

He explains that feelings can fuel our love for God, but we must not forget how fickle and undependable they can be. Going primarily by the influence of our feelings is a surefire way to find ourselves walking in carnality and rebellion.

Love moves far beyond what comes easy in the euphoria of emotions and goes to the exercising of the will in submission to God’s own will when everything we feel tells us to do the opposite. Obedience, especially when it is hard, is the proof of true love.

He also justifies why scripture’s command to love God is perfectly reasonable. He explains that the command to love God is not a call to manufacture/conjure emotions for God, but to behold Him and see how He has first greatly loved us, and then to respond to that. In such a way that we, in actuality, give out of what we have already been abundantly given.

You will be greatly blessed as you listen.

Brother Seye continues the teaching series on the book of Hebrews as he takes us into Hebrews 5.

Here. The writer of Hebrews addresses the Son's superiority over the Levitical priesthood.

Brother Seye exegetes on the Son learning obedience, referring to His submission to the cross to pay for our sins.

Finally, Brother Seye again highlights that the Son's incarnation and consequent suffering give us hope to come to the throne of grace to obtain mercy for our weaknesses.

In this part of the series on Christian Ethics, Brother Sam underscores the kernel of every act of goodness we extend towards our fellow men: God Himself.

We [can] love people because we, firstly, love God. We are loyal to people because we are loyal to God. The condition of our affection towards the Lord enables and shapes our affections towards our fellow image-bearers. It is the wellspring from which the gushes of our morality, honor and compassion towards others come.

This, consequently, means that our exercise of these virtues cannot be in such a manner that betrays the heart of the One who is the Source of all that is good in us. We cannot love people into hell, or be loyal to friends who unrepentantly choose to ride the wheels of rebellion. That is neither love nor loyalty.

Brother Sam also gives more biblical and practical wisdom for handling our human relationships:

Do not take money from tight-fisted people.
Do not commit trust to people who have proven to not be worthy of it.
When people struggle with character flaws, do not endorse their mischief by giving them more responsibilities, rather rehabilitate them.
Be careful of those who fawn and flatter.
In choosing friends and life partners, prioritize peace over plenty.

You will find much to reflect on, in this sermon. Be blessed.

Brother Seye continues the series by using the imagery of Israel’s captivity and slavery, their sojourning through the wilderness on their way to Canaan; to explain the deceitfulness of sin and its consequent hardening in the Hebrew Christians and to us in the modern church.

The deceitfulness of sin makes us consider the slavery and bondage we were delivered from as better than the abundance of God's grace we have freely received in salvation

Just as the Israelites considered Egypt and cursed God in their hearts and did not enter into God's physical rest (Canaan), so also the believer who looks back at his sins favourably will be carried away by it and lose the ultimate rest of God in Christ Jesus.

“Whoever is righteous has regard for the life of his beast, but the mercy of the wicked is cruel. “ ~ Proverbs‬ ‭12‬:‭10‬ ‭

Brother Sam, building on the previously established maxim that “true wisdom is applied sanctification”, shows in this fourth part of the series, how this sanctification is demonstrated not just in our relationship with our fellow image-bearers, but even with animals.

He explains how virtues such as discernment, kindness and loyalty are fundamental constituents of the Christian ethic, and why the Christian is charged with exemplifying these virtues.

“Relationships are slices of heaven in this broken world”.

In this sermon, you will find encouragement to be introspective and intentional with your relationships—whatever kind they may be—and understand how righteousness evidences itself through an honourable attitude towards man and beast.

In this third part of the midweek series on the book of Hebrews, Brother Maj’ continues on the theme of the Superior Son.

In Hebrews 3, the anchor text shows that Jesus is superior to the man Moses because Jesus is very God, and has much more glory than His servant Moses. For Moses was faithful in God's house, but the builder of the house, Jesus, is worthy of much more glory.

We remain God's house (built by the Son) as long as we hold fast to our confidence.

But then the writer of Hebrews follows up this theme and contrasts the hardness of the heart of the children of Israel with the Hebrew Christian’s potential unbelief by showing us what destroys our confident hope in God

Unrepentant sin is the enemy of our confidence. The compounded effects of sin wane our confidence in God and harden our hearts like the children of Israel who did not enter God's rest because of unbelief.

Please listen and share

In the third part of this series on Christian wisdom and ethics, Brother Sam explains how Christians must conduct themselves in their secular and material affairs, to please and glorify God even in such things.

He highlights the necessity of conscientiousness in handling our things—jobs, businesses, education, and other earthly responsibilities—firstly because these things have been generously given to us by a King to whom we will give account for how we stewarded them.

If God entrusts us with an assignment/responsibility, exerting ourselves with discipline and diligence to faithfully carry out that assignment/responsibility is evidence that we fear God. And whatever is the product of reverential fear for God is true wisdom.

Brother Seye continues his exposition on the book of Hebrews as he addresses chapters 1 through 2 to show us that the Son is superior and more excellent than angels.

The imagery of angelic manifestation to the fathers by the prophets will not have been lost on the Hebrew Christians, thereby being a means to aid their rejection of Jesus and return to Judaism

But if the word spoken through angels was binding such that every transgression received a just recompense, HOW SHALL WE ESCAPE IF WE NEGLECT SO GREAT A SALVATION, which the LORD JESUS first announced?

This is the heart cry of the writer of Hebrews

In the second part of this series, Brother Sam emphasizes wisdom as being distinct from intelligence. Much of what the world commemorates as ‘wisdom’ is no wisdom at all, but a high Intelligence/Emotional Quotient at best. The world’s system rewards a cunning, scheming, manipulative person for being “wise”, but the Bible calls such wisdom earthly, unspiritual and demonic (James 3:13-18). True, biblical wisdom is to be an infant in evil.

True wisdom substantiates itself in this way:

~ Discerning between good and evil

~ Doing the will of God

~ Applying righteousness in every area of your life

Brother Seye begins a teaching series for the midweek services on the book of Hebrews.

He starts with a background to the book, making a case for its canonicity, orthodoxy, and necessity for the church of God in the 21st century. This puts to rest any aspersions cast on its authorship as the basis for rejecting it as authoritative.

He handles 2 key points. Who wrote the book and who was it addressed to.

He then goes into the first bone of contention in Hebrews 1; the Son is superior. He shows that the prophets' writings and prophecies had found their fulfilment in the Superior One. The Son!

Matthew 10:1–25.

Brother Sam begins a new teaching series on Christian wisdom and ethics.

The Bible instructs us to be wise as serpents yet harmless as doves.

In this first part of the series, Brother Sam tells us what wisdom is in the Christian faith. Wisdom is to understand the will of the Lord and live in it. It is to do what God wants in the way God wants it done.

The value of wisdom is not in the value of gold or riches it brings you, but in how much in the will of God you live.

Wisdom is “applied sanctification.” To live a meaningful life in this world for Christ, you need to be wise.

As you proceed in this series, we hope it aids you to walk more in sanctification in every good endeavour.

Brother Glory exhorts us from the Book of Revelation to be faithful as Jesus calls for to the 7 churches.

Brother Glory uses the instruction to the seven churches as recorded in the book of Revelations to reproof, correct and instruct us in righteousness

Be blessed as you listen.

Brother Sam concludes the series on Galatians in chapter 6

He emphasises something poignant in verses 1-3; how we handle fallen brethren in the church of our Lord.

An understanding that we are comrades with brokenness with those who err helps us to administer Christian judgement on matters. For Christians, judgement is restorative. It seeks to restore those who have fallen.

We realize we can be gentle but firm, ruthless but just.

Secondly, Brother Sam expounds on Christian comparison and shows us that our ultimate pleasure is God; therefore, we look to God as we strive in our walk with Him in view of His plans for us. This kills comparison. As in the parable of the talents, the Lord apportions to each one, and we will give an account of what the Lord gave us.

Do listen to find out more in the concluding part of this series

We hope you’re blessed.

Sis. Ifeanyi shares with us some Christian presuppositions, and foundational assumptions underlying the Christian belief. Without these presuppositions, a person can't get to the Christian faith/worldview. They are things necessary presuppositions to affirm the Christian worldview

Brother Sam continues the exposition of the book of Galatians as he takes us through Galatians chapter 5

In verses 1-6, Paul reminds the Galatians of the freedom they have received and calls the works of the law to justify bondage/slavery.

Brother Sam shows us that anyone who wants to be justified by the works of the law has cut themselves off from grace.

In verse 10, Brother Sam shows us that people who pervert the gospel will see the Lord's judgement, telling us that a tiny deviation from the truth Is not a tiny problem but has grave implications for God's flock

Then Brother Sam goes on to explain the walk of the spirit; contrasting this with the work of the flesh.

We hope this summary spurs you to listen on!

In this Bible study, Brother Sam takes us on the run through church history on the formation of the Roman Catholic Church after the great schism of the East and West and the 3-pope dilemma in the West as a result of church politics that sprung up as a result of the fusion of church and state

With history in view, how does a nation deal with Christian nationalism, and judeo-Christian underpinnings in law given a pluralistic society?

Enjoy this insightful Bible study.

Galatians 4

Brother Sam continues his exposé on the book of Galatians in the series.

From verses 1–8, he shows the necessity of the law to show the exceeding sinfulness of man. And the law, though binding on Israel, could not annul the covenant with Abraham that has already been set - justification by faith

He also explains that the heart cry of the Christian “abba father” is an inner experience every Christian has that can’t be proven and in which they all know they are children of God.

Why? For Christianity is not just a superior idea that’s simply better for the outworking of a society BUT an encounter and relationship with the Godhead.

Verses 8-20.

He explains that paul shows the effect of people who want to make the Galatians (by extension us) zealous for the law. But zeal misapplied is meaningless and fruitless in the sight of God. A zeal for legalism is not pleasing to God.

Verses 21-31.

Brother Sam shows us that we are children of the free woman and not the slave. For Zion is our home. We are children of faith and of Sarah whose conception of Isaac was of the promise.

We hope the continuation of this series greatly blesses you

Sequel to Sister Ijeoma's bible study on the role the sabbath meant to the Jews and how Jesus healing on the sabbath was so egregious to them in "The Message of Apostle John - Part 12", we have a scholarship Wednesday debate on if Christians should observe the Sabbath or not.

Arguing for the case that we don't need to observe the Sabbath again is Bro. Chike Ibewuike, while Bro. Judah Flourish argues for the observance of the Sabbath for Christians.

Please listen and share.

Brother Sam continues the teaching series on Galatians and shows us succinctly the works of the law and the gift of grace in Christ Jesus

He shows the error of legalism from Galatians 3, honing down on our context. Any subtle hint of a level to attain to receive or manifest the free “gift” of God by His Spirit is a form of legalism.

He goes on to highlight that the works of the law cannot save a person because the standard of the law is complete perfection. That’s why we stand in Christ's stead because, by our own sheer will, we cannot attain God's perfection

We hope this part of the series causes deep introspection and self-reflection as you listen

Be blessed

Sister Ijeoma continues her series on the message of the apostle John from John 7.

She further explains how the writing style of the book and the works done by Jesus are evidence of the true God. We see that the true acknowledgement of the truth elicits a sincere response.

A true search for the truth will always lead us to the Truth, not many other lies, and the way to know we have seen the truth is by our sincere reaction to the knowledge of the truth.

Please listen and share.

In the second part of this series on Galatians, brother Sam continues by explaining Sanctification & Justification and Blessings & Efforts

depending on what your foundation is will determine whether you fall into a form of legalism described by Paul in Galatians or you walk in the Grace freely given by Jesus Christ in His Redemptive work

Brother Sam explains specific revelation and general revelation/common good to show us how the legalism in Galatians is based on the specific revelation of the Law.

Brother Sam further explains how legalism leads to a tasteless life of sanctification but a sanctification based on Justification and the joy that follows leads to a joyful response to live for God and forsake our sins

Please listen and be blessed

Brother Sam exhorts us from Matt 7:13-14. He admonishes us on one of the vehicles on the highway to hell.

The vehicle of negligence/carelessness is the one sure vehicle that will lead us to destruction. It desensitizes us to the whiles of the enemy and lacks sober judgement

Satan is powerful and one of the ways satan makes us fall for his tricks is to underestimate his power. We remain on the narrow and hard way by being watchful and sober-minded.

Please listen and share.

In this exposition on the book of Galatians, Brother Sam begins by explaining to us what God did in commissioning the 12 apostles and Paul (through revelation) to spread the gospel of His redemption of mankind.

What makes the words of the apostles authoritative and what are the implications of rejecting the words of the apostles as uninspired and open to subjective interpretation? Brother Sam shows us in this introduction

He continues by emphasizing the efficacy of the gospel as the solution to every life situation. Hence Paul’s insistence that the gospel is sufficient for the salvation of mankind. In addition to it; plaguing the Galatian church, was worthy of a curse

We do hope this series blesses you

Brother Sam answers questions from our bible study of the Book of Numbers during the month.

Bro. Sam shares a short exhortation on the joy of giving praise to the Lord from Psalm 135.

We see how the Psalmist calls us to praise the Lord because of this grace and various mercies to us.

Please listen and share

Brother Seye shares an exhortation on the hope of a Christian from Psalm 116. The spirit of faith is the one that speaks about the hope of the believer in eternity and not the common declaration of a desire for God as it has been commonly taught.

Our hope is not in this world, the speaking isn't to change the afflictions or persecutions it is a speaking about the hope of resurrection we have in the Lord. The hope of eternal life.

Brother Sam expounds the text on the lady who washed Jesus' feet with her tears and wiped His feet with her hair on His visit to Simon’s house.

Simon seems to wonder why Jesus would allow such a sinful lady to wash His feet

How many times have we approached the Lord like Simon and not like the lady?

“He that is forgiven much loves much”

Brother Sam calls us to a heart posture that remembers how much we were forgiven so that it informs the depth of our love towards our Lord and Saviour

Like the parable of the servant who was forgiven 10,000 talents, we all owe God for our sins for our sins are manifold but God forgave us much

Brother Sam calls us to love God for true love for God is the antidote to hating our sins and leaving them behind

Fear cannot stop us from committing sins and grieving our Lord. But true Love informed by the magnitude of our sins forgiven helps us to deny ourselves and follow the Lord to the end.

Bro Kingsley teaches Matthew 6:19-33, on how we are to think and operate in the Kingdom of God as believers.

We look at what it means to store up treasures for ourselves and how avarice can easily influence our outlook and choices so subtly.

We also look at the deception of the kingdom takeover doctrine and how it is used to store up treasure for ourselves here on earth

We're ultimately taught not to trust in any other source but God.

Please listen and share.

In this teaching, Brother Seye Maj walks us through the gift and work of repentance in the Christian faith.

He begins by highlighting the Christian’s former state in utter darkness and depravity

On that note, the ability to see our sins, mourn and sorrow of them and turn our hearts to God is a gift. It is the gift of repentance

Since the gift of repentance has then inclined our hearts positively towards God (Ezek 36:26-27) and I now have A heart of flesh that wants to obey God, I must follow the inclinations of the Spirit and obey God in practice.

Therefore the knowledge of repentance must produce

doxology 2. Assurance and 3. Instruction

Of particular importance is the instruction as we see the necessity of an ongoing life of repentance in the Christian. The gift of repentance must be accompanied by works of repentance

Please listen and share.

Sister Ijeoma continues her teaching/bible study series on the gospel according to the Apostle John. In this study, we look at the whole of John 6.

We see God's disposition towards people, in caring for our material needs (food), despite knowing they would still leave him. She admonishes us to seek God not as the means to an end but as the end in Himself.

What is the bread for you in this age and time, what is the good gift that you are in danger of using God as a means to the end of?

Please listen and share.

Brother Seye continues the teaching series on Contra Mundum (against the world)

He shows us that fighting the good fight of faith is as much within the church for sound doctrine as it is without from unbelievers, just as Athanasius had in his days.

Brother Maj shows us three things to bear in mind as we fight the good fight of faith with the sword of the Spirit.

The sword of the Spirit is powerful
The sword of the Spirit is wielded/compelled by love
The sword of the Spirit is expressed using the fruit of the Spirit.

Please listen and share.

Brother Murewa shares vital lessons from the book of Philemon

Brother Seye begins a teaching series on the Latin phrase used to describe the Early Church Father Athanasius in His Epitaph: Contra Mundum (Against The World)

He takes us on a brief history of Athanasius’ Life. Exiled 5 times in his tenure as bishop of Alexandria Egypt, Athanasius shows the true example of a Christian given to meditation and consecration. Athanasius fought the error of Arianism in His time with grace, love and conviction.

Brother Maj uses his life to teach us how we Stand against error and contend for faith as we grow in the knowledge and influence of God's word,

Sister Ifeanyi expounds on the word of God showing us how we ought to behave in the work place

How do we relate to the work we are given? How do we handle believing and unbelieving employees? How do we conduct ourselves in relation to unjust bosses or leaders?

Sister Ifeanyi shows us how our work is done towards God and we will give account to God at the end of time.

Brother Sam concludes In the second part of the teaching by addressing the differences in infants and the mature in the faith.

The Bible characterizes infants as sensual, unstable, divisive, self-absorbed and proud. Qualities that are found in those who do not profess Christ.

However, an infant Christian ought to grow and shed off all the aforementioned negatives.

If a Christian remains in infancy after a while, it is a cause for concern.

What then are the tools to engender growth in the infant Christian

The word (the Bible)
⁠the church (that dispenses the word in adherence to apostolic doctrine)
⁠prayer
⁠the sacraments (communion especially)

We hope this teaching jolts you to take responsibility for your spiritual growth

Sister Ijeoma recaps from the last message, the Message of Apostle John part 10, about taking the scriptures as the apostle's eyewitness accounts to us and there's no reason not to believe them.

In this part, we look at John's account of the man who had been paralyzed for 38 years in John 5:1-30.

Jesus heals the man at the pool but the Pharisees were more bothered about the man carrying his mat on the sabbath.

We see Jesus' reasponse to the inquiry of the Pharisees and how He equates himself with God (of the Old Testament).

Please listen and share.

“In this teaching, Brother Seye explains to us the essence of the church of Christ using Psalms 68

He explains the essence of our salvation as a salvation into God's family/ household.

With this in mind. The believer ought to 3 important views of the church

A communal view of the church
⁠A theological view of the church.
⁠A restorative view of the church

This will keep us from isolating ourselves from God's family.

In this concluding part of the the expository teaching of the book of Ephesians, Brother Seye shares three final thoughts after a quick recap of the study.

First thought from v1-4, we see the nature of the relationship in the family unit, especially concerning the children of God's people.

The second thought from v5-9 is an admonition about our relationship and attitude in the workplace.

The third and final thought is about standing strong through the constant contention against everything that the apostle had instructed from chapter 1.

Please listen and share.

In this teaching, Brother Sam uses Ephesians 4 to describe what spiritual growth looks like

He addresses 3 major things that a believer ought to grow in

What They Know
⁠How They Think
⁠How They Live

These three things do not happen separately but simultaneously such that as a believer grows in biblical knowledge, his/her mind is adjusted and beliefs changed which will in turn guide actions.

This sermon is practical and calls us all to reflect on our lives as we seek to please the Father

Do listen and be changed.

Brother Seye continues his expository teaching on the book of Ephesians and shares a couple of thoughts from Chapter 5.

Apostle Paul instructs us to imitate Christ and the reason we can imitate Christ is because God has given us the resources by which we can be imitators of God. We are called to forgive as Christ forgave us, called to be holy as He is and not to be sexually immoral both in our thoughts and speech.

We are not to take for granted the truth of God's saving power to keep and live like we have no responsibilities or as if nothing is required of us.

The second thought is to be filled with the spirit, walk as children of light and we see that being filled is evidenced in our speaking. To be filled with the spirit is to have the influence of the Spirit on our mind.

The doctrine of election has become a serious issue causing contentions in contemporary times such that it requires addressing What is election? And how does this affect our view of God?Who is correct; Arminians or Calvinists?Is election a new doctrine or it has always existed? How does this relate to predestination and Gods foreknowledge? Is God unjust in electing or choosing people for salvation?These and many more are addressed in this teaching Election as a theology is supposed to cause 2 responses: Doxology towards God and anguish towards those we want to see receive salvation.

Easter is the commemoration of the Death and Resurrection of our Lord Jesus. Brother Sam recounts the story of the resurrection from John 18-20; showing us that the resurrection story is real. John and the apostles were not playing when they told us that our Lord was raised from the dead

Let this Easter message be a reminder that we have a resurrected saviour who will raise us to glory on the last day”

Apostle Paul gives us two major injunctions that we should follow which describe our Christian walk

We should maintain the unity of the Spirit in the Bond of Peace i.e every part of the church should contribute to the growth of the church in love, such that the body (Chuch) will mature and grow in Love
We should put off the Old man and put on the new man. In this instruction, the believer is no longer dead by the power of God, the new man has come but we have a responsibility to see ourselves that way, and embrace the lifestyle of a Christian.

Please listen and share

In this final part of the series, Brother Sam does a recap of the previous three parts of the series, reminding us of What God wants us to do (Ministry, being productive, and raising Godly Families) and (how we do what God wants us to do).

Then he rounded up by showing us how the Lord in His Sovereignty, leads our lives by default, how the modern teaching of Hearing God's voice in the following of His plan is unnecessary because God is in control of our lives. As children of God, our Father is always leading us even when it seems we aren’t aware.

This ought to comfort us. For WHAT is His plan for our lives, and the HOW is our responsibility, to ensure that we live godly lives in accordance with God's word.

We therefore conduct ourselves as Soldiers and Athletes, by living holy and pure lives while trusting Him as He leads us.

Brother Seye continues the expository bible study into the book of Ephesians as we look at Ephesians chapter 3. We look at two important thoughts communicated in the chapter.

We look at what the mystery of Christ is, and how it came about while establishing Paul's apostleship. We see that the mystery of Christ is that the Gentiles, who were once without God and hope in this world, have now been reconciled to God in one body even with the Jews who have come to God through Christ.

The second thought examined is the effect of the mystery on us, Gentiles. We see that it is because of the "mystery" that we're bold and have access and confidence through our faith in Him. We're emboldened in the face of suffering, life may be tough but we're not without hope.

Please listen and share.

Bro. Seye Maj continues his expository bible study on the book of Ephesians.

We start this second part from vv10-21 and see some similarities with the preceding verses in the chapter.

We see the relationship Jews and Gentiles had with the gospel before, and what changes for both groups when they come into the faith.

We also see that we have been called into the catholic church according to the apostle's doctrine. Any deviation from that is devoid of God's Spirit.

Please listen and be blessed

In this third part of the series, Brother Sam recaps the previous teaching, highlighting how God is concerned about the means as well as the ends concerning our money ethic and careers.

Then he focuses on how we conduct ourselves before and In Marriage as Christians. In summary; the Christian sexual and marriage ethic.

If the Lord has shown us in His Word that His purpose for us is to marry and be given in marriage (the What) then following His plan in it is of equal importance (the How).

Brother Sam shows us that Sexual Purity is essential for the Christian before and after marriage not because of the avoidance of consequences but because OUR BODIES BELONG TO THE LORD!

Please listen and share.

In this teaching, Brother Sam continues to expound on the text in 2 Timothy 2:1-5

In this second part, Brother Sam goes into the what and the how of a Christian’s money and career ethic, showing that God will judge our work in the natural on this earth.

How do we manage our finances? Has God promised us exceeding riches?

How do we handle contentment and complacency; what is the difference?

Why should I be involved in a vocation if I am supposed to eh heavenly minded?

In this series

Brother Sam begins by making us understand what it means to stand as a soldier and athlete in the kingdom Why is this important? Everyone who calls on the Lord's name must strive to confirm their election; for genuine Christian faith is proven in this world. A soldier strives to please His master. An athlete strives to contend according to the game rules set by His master. God is concerned with the ends as much as the means to achieve the ends. Therefore what we do and how we do it are important to God because He dictates how our lives are to be in this world This teaching will reorient any mind to understand how to truly please God and have His hierarchy of values as theirsThis part concludes with an instruction that the Lord gives us as soldiers of Christ and athletes in His arena Preach.

Bro. Kingsley shares with us a charge from the book of James on what faith is and the demands it places on us as believers.

The works of faith are that we believe what God has said and the demands of that belief, which is His will for our life, is we surrender to it, no matter the cost.

Please listen and share.

Brother Sam rounds up the series by pointing us to the blessed state of persecution.

He points us to several scriptures showing the blessedness of a believer who is reviled for his faith, insulted for his hope and scorned for doing what is good.

In our world today where persecution is seen as a curse and many think persecution will be the death of the church, Brother Sam reminds us from scripture to be prepared to be ostracized for the hope that we profess, something to the point of death.

What greater blessing than to open our eyes before our Savior!

I hope this series blesses you!

The BeatitudesMatthew 5:7-9the pure in heartthe mercifulthe peacemakerBrother Sam, shows us these three scriptures as states of heart that the Christian ought to have.

The christian; knowing the depth of his inadequacy and the cost of His sins, is one who extends the same mercy he has received to others.

The one, who understands the call of salvation that has inclined his/her will favorably toward God will not look on others with disdain or disgust.

The person, who understands the peace of God will as much as lie within him/her to walk in peace with all men or contend for true peace.Please listen and share

He shares 4 thoughts on the importance of prayer and how prayer is done.

Please listen and share.

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled” (Matthew 5:6)

In this fourth part of the teaching; Brother Sam begins by describing God as “the Good”; the One through whom all good things emanate from.

However, there’s a tendency for humanity to replace one of the goods God gives with the ultimate Good; God Himself.

Brother Sam therefore describes what a hunger and thirst for righteousness looks like

To hunger and thirst for righteousness is to flee all things that defile

To hunger and thirst for righteousness is to have no company with evildoers.

To hunger and thirst for righteousness is to turn our backs on this world and its fleeting pleasures.

To hunger and thirst….

Matthew 5:5 - blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth?”

Brother Sam continues the teaching series on the Beatitudes; showing us what the Bible describes as true blessedness.

With myriad scriptures explaining the evil in pride and arrogance and the blessedness of the meek and humble, Brother Sam shows us God's disposition to a heart of pride.

What’s more important is the statement “They shall inherit the earth”

What exactly does a meek believer in God inherit?

If this world is not our own, and we are asked to gaze at our heavenly Jerusalem and not Babylon; what are we inheriting?

Remember that the oracles we have are reliable.

What is the Christian response to hardship and difficulty?How do we alleviate the uncertainties we face in this world? Aren’t Christians made to conquer?These and many more questions are answered in this teaching about the Christian’s response to difficult times and suffering Brother Seye Maj, using James 1:1-13 as his anchor text shows us the fruit of hard times. We count sufferings all joy because of the peaceable fruits of righteousness it works in us Furthermore, we find absolute comfort that God is not agnostic in our suffering but ever present to refine us, deliver us and reorient our perspectivePlease listen and share

Brother Sam continues the teaching series and takes on the second beatitude. “Blessed are those who mourn. For they shall be comforted” How is the Christian blessed in times of mourning? Brother Sam shows us how the Christian behaves in suffering and what our true hope and anchor is regardless of the situation.

Sis. Ijeoma continues her study of the book of John.

We look at the historical and cultural context of Samaritans and use this to understand Jesus' interaction with the woman at the well.

We see how Jesus did not help her feel comfortable in her sin, He helped her realize the need for a Messiah.

Please listen and share

Brother Sam begins a teaching series on the Beatitudes with particular emphasis on the first

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs Is the kingdom of heaven”

He shows us how the man who has placed faith in Jesus is forever poor in spirit; that He has no self-sufficiency nor trusts in the arm of flesh nor the pleasures of life.

This person knows that the only true satisfaction in this world is God and everything in this world will give only temporary satisfaction and make the soul lean.

That is why poverty in the spirit is the hallmark of every Christian. Rich. Poor. Destitute. Only God satisfies the soul.

Please listen and share.

Bro. Seye begins a bible study on the book of Ephesians. He helps us to see God's intentionality in His election of us before the foundation of the world, in love.

We look at the blessings of salvation in how the Father elected us in love, how the Son redeems us by His blood and how the Holy Spirit seals us.

We also look at the two responses we are to have as believers to this doctrine of election, thanksgiving and prayer.

Please listen and share.

In this one-off teaching, brother Sam expounds on the text in Matthew 13, showing the responsibility of the believer in hearing and receiving the word of God.
In the four categories we see how the handling of the word heard is received in the life of believer.
We either bear fruit or regress.
The cares of this world choke up the word or we tend it like a well looking garden which will yield fruit in different folds.
The right priorities will set the course of the year as you seek to dig deeper into the Word of our Lord and Saviour

Brother Sam admonishes us that our plans for the new year should revolve around what we will DO rather than what we can have.

He helps us to understand that we all have unique individual roles to play and give expression to the good works the Father designed for us to do.

He helps us understand that regardless of what may come our way in the new year, God will not allow us to be tempted beyond what we can bear.

Please listen and share.

In the concluding message of “The Hand of God” series that describes God's providence, we look at God's hand in riches.

Brother Sam recounts His previous teachings of 2023 such as “Laying Up Gold as dust” as He reminds us of the biblical tone on riches and poverty.

However, In this message, he hones in on material substance.

If a man’s purpose is tied to what he does and not what he has, then it means his material state is a function of where the Lord will have him be.

The Lord gave some 5 talents, some 2, another 1. All men will give account based on that which the Lord has apportioned to them.

Therefore, a Christian’s purpose can never be to be rich or to be poor. Our purpose is to do the will of God and our material state is an accident; a function of what the Lord has asked us to do and where He has asked us to be

This teaching prepares the way for 2024 and what our desires should be as we walk through the new year.

Do listen and be blessed

Brother Sam gives us a short exhortation on how to prepare for the new year, we're reminded once again that God's plan for us is found in our doing is His will.

In this last scholarship Wednesday service for the year, Brother Sam takes us through the history of the Christmas celebration. He corrects some erroneous beliefs regarding Christmas, especially in the 21st century.

We look at questions like why we celebrate the birth of our Lord on the 25th of December, whether we need to celebrate Christmas, whether Christmas have a pagan origin, etc.

Please listen and share

Brother Sam continues the hand of God (God's providence) and explains the hand of God in the nations of the world

“He has mapped out the boundaries of their existence” in the words of Paul, showing fully well that God is sovereign over the nations

An interesting twist to this teaching is the parallel drawn between the prophecies of Isaiah and Daniel and the particular time that Christ's incarnation occurred (corroborated by historical scholars) showing fully well that the Lord had beforehand sovereignly guided the rising and falling of empires before the rise of the great Roman Empire in which Christ came

This shows that God doesn’t stand aloof in the affairs of the nations of men, but is deliberate; working out His salvation plan to redeem a lost humanity

Brother Seye, shares his thoughts on spiritual warfare through a book study on the epistle written by Jude.

Brother Seye explains a key link in explaining how the believer wars for his soul as well as for others

“Jude 1:20 - building up yourselves in your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God”

The believer is built up in his most holy faith by calling to mind the scriptures and ensuring they permeate his entire existence to build himself in the faith that he has received.

Praying in the Holy Spirit is praying in the will of the Father as corroborated in Ephesians. Prayer is God's means of grace to keep us in His love.

Brother Seye explains this is how we will be able to show mercy to others with the truth when they have been deceived and snatch others out of the fire as well

Do listen mindfully and be edified.

Brother Sam continues the end of the year teaching series with an explanation of Gods purpose and design for a Christian marriage

Why did God create marriage?

Is the biblical teaching of headship by the husband and submission of the wife a culture to subjugate women?

What does a believer in Christ look out for in a relationship when getting ready for marriage?

These questions are answered carefully from the scriptures

Please listen and share

Bro. Glory takes us on a bible study on the Beatitudes, we see what exactly the kingdom of God is and how that relates to each of the Beatitudes.

Brother Sam begins a teaching series dealing with the Providence of God.

How can Christians handle the seeming contradictions in scripture concerning human responsibility and God's Sovereignty?

Specific to salvation; did we choose God or did He choose us?

Are we co-actors in the story of God's Salvation plan?

This teaching requires serious attention to the dictates of scripture.

We hope it blesses you.

Sister Ijeoma continues this bible study from where she stopped in the bible study "The Greatest Commandment".

In this bible study, we look at what it really means when the Lord instructs us to love Him above all else. We see that loving the Lord must be seen in corresponding actions as shown in the word of God.

God Loved us first, and we can't love anyone if our love is not coming from God. You can't fake love, it is obvious. You must be fully aware of the love God has for you and be assured of it

You must have the conviction of God's love

Please listen and share.

Brother Sam concludes the teaching series and this time shows us how God dealt with the problem of sin comprehensively such that the believer can gaze up and say “thank you.”

Regeneration, justification, sanctification and redemption are the 4 ways in which the Lord handled the sin problem.

He changed our hearts and took us from death to life - regeneration

He freed us from the guilt of sin and its penalty - justification

He purified and cleaned us and asked us to walk in holiness as a war for our souls by coming to the throne of grace - sanctification

We will be caught up in glory one day; never to deal with the pangs of sin ever again - glorification

Please listen and be blessed!

On this scholarship Wednesday, Bro. Sam answers questions from our study of the book of Acts during Awake, our month of spiritual emphasis.

Please listen and share.

Brother Sam begins a teaching series on the depth of the work that Jesus Christ did on the cross

Akin to the series on the facets of our salvation; this teaching reminds us about what Christ actually came to do. From the words of Mary to the song of Elizabeth. From the prophecies of the prophets to the writers of the 4 gospels, the theme is consistent. Christ came to redeem a lost humanity and reconnect us to the King of Kings

Most worthy of note is the idea that Jesus died for health and wealth. Brother Sam again shows us from the scripture what Christ's work is

Do listen and be edified.

Brother Murewa reminds us of the purpose of Awake, our month of focus where we are gieven more to consecration through delibrate spiritual activities as a church.

We see that living a life of sanctification and consecration comes with responsibilities to set our mind on things that are above and to bring to remembrance the things God has instructed.

Please share and listen

In this teaching, brother Sam encourages us with a teaching from Psalm 23.

Taking each verse and expatiating on key Christian topics, Brother Sam reminds us that there is suffering in this world.

If the Bible has promised us anything, it’s that the Christian will have trials and tribulations

But in spite of them; we have a good shepherd

“The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing”

Regardless of the degree of difficulty we experience, perhaps even death, we can boldly say “the Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing”

Brother Seye Maj' in this bible study helps us to learn from Apostle Paul's letter to the Corinthians on spiritual gifts, in desiring them and their use in the local assembly

In the concluding part of this series, Brother Sam caps off the works of Satan by showing us how the Lord Jesus has given us means of grace and His sacraments as ways of increasing our awareness of God and becoming wiser in dealing with the wiles of the devil.

A text worthy of Note is in Ephesians 6. Using the analogy of the whole armor of God in warding off the fiery dates of the evil one

He mentions important themes such as prayer, study and meditation of the sacred scriptures, partaking of the sacraments, coming to church as prescribed ways of preserving our conscience towards God

In this bible study, Sis. Ijeoma Oyeyinka takes us through what the greatest commandment really means and the importance of it.

We see what it means to love the Lord with all our heart, soul, might and strength.

We also see that to love God is an active engagement expressed by our continuous obedience to His instructions.

We see that such love as commanded is inspired by the conviction that leads to observable actions.

We don't love the Lord in actions alone, but by heartfelt convictions that breed actions.

Please listen and share.

Samuel Oyeyinka continues the teaching series on the works of Satan.

he expands on the theme of suffering and pleasure from the bible and our contemporary world.

Satan's goal is not poverty or riches but separating man from God. Like Job, if abundance does not do the trick; perhaps pain, suffering and disease will do it. "Curse God and Die" Job was told.

if immense suffering will separate you from God, then satan will make you suffer. If abundance will disconnect you from God, then satan will maximise your comfort.

His ultimate aim is to get men to turn their backs on God.

In this scholarship service, brother Sam addresses the fundamental aspect of Christian persecution and how believers (albeit true believers) react or behave in the face of persecution

Taking a cue from Christian brethren around the world who maintain their faith confession in the face of persecution (in many cases death), brother Sam admonishes us to place absolute trust in God to strengthen us in the face of all kinds of persecution; looking ahead to the greater glory of eternity with the Lord

Sam Oyeyinka teaches the concept of Christian marriage and uses the very words of Jesus to describe what a Christian marriage should look like

A marriage founded on the love of God will stand the test of time.

What is love? Brother Sam describes Christian love as "to will the good of a person". A sharp contrast between the idea of marriage and the idea of personal gain

This teaching will reshape your ideas of biblical marriage and set you on course for a successful Christian home.

Brother Seye helps us see that God's Word is precept upon precept and line upon line.

It is not according to the wisdom of this world or according to the "deep mysteries of God's Word" rather, it is the simple word as taught to children, precept upon precept, line upon line.

We are admonished to stay with the "basics" of God's word and not scorn it. We are to receive the basics with meekness otherwise we'd be drawn away by our desires for more and leave God.

Please listen and share.

Sam Oyeyinka begins this short teaching series by showing us what the Bible has to say about the work of Satan.

How are we to deal with this accuser, serpent, dragon as well as other names he’s called in the scriptures

The primary work of Satan is separation from God. And any idea in our minds that Satan is doing something contrary to separate us from God causes us to stumble and fall under the sway of the evil one.

Brother Kingsley shows us in this bible study that God's eternal purpose has been the same from the Old to the New Testament.

We trace God's eternal purpose from Adam and see how the devil subtly introduces sin and how God declares His plan for salvation to Abraham, our father of Faith.

Please listen and share

In the final part of this teaching series

Brother Sam examines the idea of God's sovereignty and man’s responsibility as a man of faith.

How did Abraham go about his desires and surrendering to God's will?

He mentions prayer. A man of faith prays and keeps praying until the Lord answers. A man of faith doesn’t act like everything is under his control but trusts in God who has control.

God is sovereign over all affairs but a man of faith will pray to the Sovereign Lord because his trust is in God and not any external outcomes. For God is the only constant.

Please listen and share.

Brother Seye continues his teaching series on what the bible says about the forgiveness of sins.

In this bible study, we hone in on Romans 6, from which we examine two important thoughts with us.

Brother Sam Oyeyinka continues the teaching series on the lonely journey of faith.

Expanding on the previous part, he dives deeper into Genesis 17:1-2 and explains how the faith of Abraham Is a blameless faith.

Drawing on parallels found in the epistles, he explains the necessity of the believer walking in holiness and righteousness. The believer ought to be grieved at falling into sin and confess to God as an act of faith to be cleansed from unrighteousness

This stands in sharp contrast to a famous licentious “antinomian” doctrine that creates categories that the Bible does not in regard to the believer's blameless walk before God

Do listen and be blessed.

In this part, Sis. Ijeoma continues our study of the book of John from John 3:22-26.

She helps us look into John the Baptist's sense of fulfilment when his disciples attempted to compare his ministry to that of Jesus.

We also look at Apostle John's commentary on what it means to testify of Jesus and what it means to reject Christ.

Please listen and share

In the 4th part of the teaching series on the lonely journey of faith

Brother Sam continues in the exposition of Abraham’s Faith and shows what it means to be righteous and how it's possible to be righteous outside the law of Moses.

“Walk before me and the blameless”. God's instruction to the man who has believed and aligned with what God had said (the accurate description of what it means to have faith), was instructed to walk before God blameless.

A man of faith will have works as proof of his faith (How he walks before the Lord).

Please listen and share.

We continue looking at the life of Abraham, the man of faith, as our model for our faith walk. In this sermon, Pastor Sam further highlights 3 characteristics of Abraham's faith walk

The man of faith is a man of peace. He seeks to live peaceably with all men even at his own convenience.
The man of faith is a man of just war. A man of faith will contend for that which is true and will give no room for injury to God's law and judgment for the sake of a shady description of peace
A man of faith is a man who gives. He knows the one who owns all things and is generous in that regard. A stingy man lacks faith in God and is more concerned about His material state. A man who gives to get from God is not in faith either

We Hope this teaching helps you discover the true biblical faith of Abraham

Please listen and share.

In this Bible Study, Pastor Seye helps us to have a holistic view of the doctrine of forgiveness of sins, and what the bible teaches on the matter.

In this message, he answers questions like

Are we supposed to confess our sins?
Aren't we forgiven at salvation already?
Will God not forgive me if I don't forgive?

Pastor Sam continues the teaching series on the lonely journey of faith.

In this part, he highlights the actions of Abraham and Sarah as examples of what walking in faith really means.

However, the lingering question remains; how does this apply to contemporary times?

Pastor Sam uses Abraham's example of what faith really means: obeying God's commands as revealed in scripture.

Therefore in this teaching, we will see the implication of faith as it relates to family and marriage, possessions and vocation.

Pastor Sam focuses on “The What” and “The How” of following Gods plan for your life

In this highly practical teaching, Pastor Sam démystifiés the idea of earnestly seeking esoteric means of following Gods leading. Studying Gods Word and being filled with the scriptures will solve majority of the issues we have regarding the idea of “the How” in following Gods plan

“The What” Is encapsulated in the choices we have to make. Majority of these choices are between what is good And what is evil.

Please listen and share

In this teaching series, PSam proceeds into practical theological steps to walking in God's purpose based on the foundation in the Bible laid out in the last 3 series.

Worthy of note are the acts of the apostles and PSam shows examples of how in our subjective/personal Christian experiences, we experience God's leading, especially with issues concerning the work of our hands and how we steward the “talents” that God sovereignly distributes to every man.

If you haven’t, listen to the previous 3 teachings for a well-rounded understanding of God's purpose for your life practically.

In this scholarship Wednesday we examine the guiding principles for what can regard as acceptable differences in the body of Christ and what are not.

Pastor Sam makes a profound statement that sets the tone of the teaching “Faith isn’t to help you conquer this world and take it over but to keep and preserve you for your eternity that is coming”

The one who has placed His faith in Jesus is one; as the anchor text in Jeremiah 29 shows us, who doesn’t focus on 70 years in Babylon (this world) at the expense of the Jerusalem that is to come (heaven/eternity)

This focus of our lives is based on our heavenly citizenry and as pilgrims here informs us how we would behave in this Babylon(worldly) affairs.

In this Bible Study, Pastor Seye Maj', shows us the two biblical contexts for being filled with the spirit.

We then examine what Apostle Paul meant in Ephesians 5:18-19.

Please listen and share.

In the second part of this teaching series, Pastor Sam continues His introduction to God's will and purpose for the believer's life

He remains on the anchor text; Jeremiah 29 which dictates how the Israelites ought to behave in Babylon (by extension Us believers in this world in relation to our eternal hope)

There’s a risk of erring on the side of escapism (only caring about heaven and neglecting the instruction to steward the earth) or erring on the side of living present-minded (never conducting ourselves in light of eternity)

This teaching will indeed lay more groundwork for the rest of the series.

He explains to us the inclination of the unregenerate man and the path to destruction that the Lord in His saving grace pulled us from.

Pastor Sam in this series, shows us what the superior covenant is and the assurance we have in this covenant.

We begin by looking into why the Book of Hebrews was written and the assurance and encouragement the covenant gives.

We see the contrast between the two covenants as described by the writer of Hebrews and see why this new covenant is superior.

This new covenant gives us an assurance that would never disappoint, the assurance of the forgiveness of sins forever.

The anchor for our souls is that our sins have been washed away and that God is with us, we've been drawn near to him, and He is with us through it all. In this fact, is our confidence, even in difficult and trying times.

Please listen and be encouraged.

In this Scholarship Wednesday edition, we look at who Saint Augustine of Hippo is.

We look at St. Augstin under 3 headings

Biodata (general information about him)
His spiritual journey, how he came to the faith
And his impact on the Christian faith under various theological topics.

Please listen and share.

In this concluding part, we look in-depth at what pride is and the subtle ways it comes.

We see that pride, defined simply, is a sense of self-sufficiency and we are not self-sufficient. Pride depletes our sense of dependency.

There is only one who is truly self-sufficient (no man can have anything except it is from the Lord)

We also see that all of God's gifts can lead to pride once a ssense of self-sufficiency kicks in, but God is committed to pulling down pride.

Please listen and share.

In this short exhortation, Pastor Seye reminds us of the warning Jesus gave us in Matt 6:1-4

Take heed that our good actions come from good intentions to give glory to God.

That our actions, if they aren't birthed from intentions to give glory to God, seek to claim glory for ourselves and this isolates us from God's plan for our lives.

Please listen and share.

Pastor Sam begins a new series on our towels of Babel.

The aim of the people at Babel was to make a name for themselves.

Humans aren't supposed to make a name for themselves

Pride always precedes idolatry

We see how God intervened with His mercy at Babel

We see how classic Christianity glories in the things that remind us of our limitations and make us dependent on God.

After a little hiatus,

Pastor Ijeoma continues the study series on the book of John.

In today's bible study, we look at the Jesus first miracle/sign performed by Jesus in the book, and how it has been used to uphold the veneration of Mary

We look at the logical conclusions of some of the dogmas around the veneration of Mary as espoused by various parties.

Please listen and share

On this Charis Sunday, Pastor Sam shows us in practical terms why and how God is Good.

We see how God's nature is consistent and unchanging. He can't do anything contrary to his nature.

We see that God's nature is good, he does only good things. When God does something good, the thing is good in itself.

Understanding and having faith in God and His nature establishes us in his love.

Please listen and share.

In the concluding part of this series

Pastor Seye Maj' shows us how Salvation is the work of God.

We see how a proper understanding of the Gospel as God's work inspires our doxology and how this understanding leads us to preach the gospel to others and be part of God's orchestration to salvation.

Please listen and share

Pastor Seye Maj' takes on a teaching series on the Gospel.

In this introductory message, we look at what the "deep things" of God are. We see that it is simply the gospel and not high-sounding nonsense sought after by itchy ears.

We see that the hidden mystery has been revealed and the Holy Spirit is the agent of this revelation.

We also see for the believer, that the gospel that saves is the gospel that grows, so we aren't tired of listening to it over and over again.

Please listen and share.

We end this series on eschatology by examining

What are the signs of the end time?
Are the signs literal or not?
Who is the Antichrist or are there many Antichrists?

Please listen and share

In this concluding part of the series, Pastor Sam teaches us how we handle money as believers.

The two ways we see this in the scriptures is:

Generosity
Contentment

Please listen and share.

Pastor Sam continues this teaching series on the money ethic a believer is to have.

In this episode, he teaches two important concepts about the design of work for man.

God designed work such that income should come from honest work
Income without work makes man susceptible to pride and immortality.

He emphasizes that God did not design man to be idle but to have profitable work. Work is an end in itself. We don't work to chase money but work because that is God's will.

Please feel free to listen and share.

We begin a new teaching series on money ethics for believers as the bible prescribes.

In this series, Pastor Sam teaches how we conduct ourselves with respect to money.

We to examine properly in a centered way how Christians view money and we should behave with money, how Christians make money, why Christians should make money, and what we do with money.

In this first part, we see how God designed man to work and be productive, not idle. According to Titus 3:14, we see that man is to "work to provide for his needs and not live unproductively".

Please listen and share.

We continue this bible study on escatology by looking into the 4 main views on Tribulation and Millennium.

Please listen and share.

Pastor Sam exhorts us in this message, of what faith is and how to walk in faith practically.

We look at 3 stories in the gospels that paint a clear picture of what faith actually is. We see first that faith is believing in the context of God's word, what he has already said. Faith is also acting on the instruction that God has given us already.

Faith is not believing in your ability to keep to certain rituals or confessions, but beliving in the one who has given us the instruction to "come".

Please listen and share.

Pastor Sam starts an eschatological bible study on what happens after death.

During this first bible study, we look at the three views majorly held by believers on what happens after death, they are;

Purgatory
Soul Sleep
Alive with Christ

We look at the biblical references for each belief and examine which is likely to be most plausible based on biblical references and proper exsigesis.

Join us on this journey as we look through the scriptures to see what happens when we die.

Please listen and share.

In this final part of the series Pillar and Ground of Truth, Pastor Sam talks about another important role the church plays as the pillar and ground of truth.

The scriptures teach us that the church serves as a means of the grace of God for the believer, a means by which God supplies grace to the believer's life.

We also examine the two main ways the church serves as a means of grace to the church.

The People: We see that God divinely orchestrates the church and intends that every member of the body supply grace to the body.
The Sacraments: Sacred, holy ordinances such as prayer, the Lord's Supper, and Baptism. These sacraments help us to have a proper view of God and help our hearts to respond appropriately.

Please listen and share.

Brother Murewa exhorts us on what Christian discipleship should be.

We see that discipleship starts with evangelism and never stops, and we are all called to be disciples.

We also see that the disciple and the "discipler" are both servants of God and that should guide our conduct. We also see that both have a responsibility of honor and humility to one another.

He also emphasized discipleship is not an avenue for controlling your disciples and peddling heresies but for teaching people the word of God

Please listen and share.

Pastor Sam continues the teaching series on the church being the pillar and ground of the truth.

In this sermon, he discusses the second way the church functions as the ground of the truth, which is seen as unity bound by love.

The unity in the Church is seen through the bond of love, which is expressed in 3 significant ways by the church.

The meeting of the material needs of the members of the church (which does not encourage slothfulness)
The church is a safe space for people to express their emotions feel protected, and expect loyalty.
The church is a place where correction and discipline are carried out.

Please listen and share.

Brother Glory exhorts us to beware of Idols as apostle John did in 1st John.

We see that Idols are there to extinguish the love of God from our hearts and the way to counter them is to keep our fire burning, to desire the Lord and meditate on His word until we practice it.

Please listen and share

We continue our series on the church being the Pillar and Ground of Truth.

In this part, we see how Jesus instituted the Church so that we can also experience and enjoy the grace, truth, and godliness the apostles also enjoyed.

We look at the one thing we need to understand about the Church being the pillar and ground of the truth. It is the sanctification of the Church by the word (John 17:17). We see how it is the responsibility of the Church to feed the sheep (John 21:15). The Church through the ministry gifts provided by Christ is to help believers exude the glory of Christ by being in the right conditions for growth.

We also look at the responsibility of the believer to the word of God, in our reading, studying meditating, and application of the word to our day-to-day affairs.

Please listen and share.

In this bible study, Pastor Seye explains to us the effect sin has on our mindset and how it is vital to keep our mind on God's faithfulness to forgive us.

From Mark 2:1-13, we see that Jesus sees the faith of the paralyzed man's friends and responds with "Your sins are forgiven".

Here, Jesus addresses the primary resistance the paralyzed man had to receive his healing.

We see that sin causes sickness directly and indirectly and that were healed by the Lord's mercy alone.

It is important we keep in our mind that we have received God's mercy for the forgiveness of our sins and that we don't allow sin consciousness to hold us down and back from fulfilling all God has planned for us.

Please listen and share.

On this Easter Sunday, Pastor Sam helps us to understand how much of a "big deal" sin is, and how helpless we are because we falter every day.

He shows us from Genesis 3, how sin is consistently giving in to desirable and self-gratifying pleasures that keep us out of God's will for us, and we're consistently doing that every day.

He also shows us that the deceit of sin is self-righteousness and that alone shows us how depraved we are. This shows us how unworthy to stand before the Holy One, Creator of heaven and earth.

But we have a great High Priest, who is the eternal Lamb slain for our sins, Jesus Christ, and by Him, we can come to God because Jesus has taken away our sins.

This is our great joy this Easter.

Please listen and share.

Pastor Ijeoma continues her bible study series on the book of John.

In this message, we take a look at the various views the Jews have about the Messiah.

We ask what more the Jews needed to believe that Jesus was the anticipated Messiah.

Please listen and share.

Pastor Sam begins a new teaching series on the Pillar and Ground of Truth which is the Chruch.

He explains why Apostle Paul considered the conduct in the Church, the Household of God, to be very important. He explains that the truth needs a foundation as well as a pillar.

He further explained that Jesus established both the vertical and the horizontal relationship as a community of people that love God and one another while passing on the truth from one generation to the next.

He further explains that what we have as a household is built solely on the foundation of the apostles and prophets.

Please listen and share.

Pastor Sam shares with us in this bible study, the government's role in God's plan for the earth. We see that God instituted the authority of the government and He is aware of the leaders we have.

We see the believer's disposition toward the government of the Land.

Please listen and share.

Pastor Sam continues the teaching series on the Spirit of the Sabbath.

In this teaching, Pastor Sam reiterates that the Spirit of the Sabbath is to demonstrate your absolute devotion to God by saying NO to everything else.

We also see that the love of the world is tantamount to idolatry and that idolatry distorts and prevents you from being all that God has planned for you. We see that the effect of idolatry is to set your heart on something else other than God.

We further examine the two forms of Idolatry:

Monotheism Idolatry, which is replacing the supreme place of God in one's life with something else i.e Saying "Yes" always to something else apart from God

Polytheism Idolatry, which is holding other things in the supreme position as you do God, i.e. Saying "Yes" to other things as you also say "Yes" to God. The inability to say "No" to anything else makes those things an idol, even if you keep saying "Yes" to God. This form is the most subtle and pernicious.

In this scholarship Wednesday teaching, we examine the Muratorian Fragment.

The Muratorian fragment is a document that was written in the 2nd century but discovered in the 17th century. It was discovered by the Italian Historian, Father Muratori. However, the authorship of the document is unknown.

In this study, Pastor Sam explains how this document is a great document that adds to the authenticity of the canon of the scriptures and the inerrancy of the scriptures.

Please listen and share.

Pastor Adeola Ogundele of Sovereign Grace Community Church, Abuja shares the word with us.

We look at Apostle Paul's statement in Phil 1:21. "For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain."

We see how Apostle Paul's faith in Christ shaped his living experience here on earth and the assurance he had even in death.

Please listen and share.

God bless you.

Brother Sam takes us through a short exposition of the book of Job.

We examine the character of God as seen in the scriptures and emphasized in Job.

We understand that God's infinitely wiser than us and as deliberate as he is concerning each of us, we still play our part in God's sovereign will.

We also see that the right response when evil/tragedy occurs is not to question God but to ask for mercy to help in such times.

Please listen and share.

Pastor Sam begins a new series on the Spirit of the Sabbath.

In this series, we begin by examining why God gives the instructions he does. We understand that he gives good commandments because it is consistent with His good nature because what He says is who He is.

Pastor then explains the spirit of the commandment to keep the Sabbath as a teaching on consecration and our ability to say no to other affairs and yes to God.

We further see that consecration through the Sabbath is a teaching tool to help us avoid idolatry. What we can't say no to replaces God's position in our hearts and drives us farther away from God. Idolatry is anything that lowers our view of God and keeps us from achieving the purpose for which God created us.

Please join us in this series and share the word.

Pastor Seye concludes this two-part series on the character of God. In this part, we see God's character as merciful and compassionate. He emphasizes that God's merciful acts in the scriptures are an outworking of His character. God's attributes describe God at the core of who He is.

We also examine God's faithfulness as His character. We see God as reliable, dependable, and stable. He doesn't break character.

Please listen and share

During this Charis Sunday, Pastor Sam teaches us what the means of grace is for believers.

He teaches the means of grace to be the supernatural ability God supplies to fulfill His plans for our lives.

He teaches that grace is not just salvation but also includes the means God supplies the ability to do His purpose.

He emphasizes that we can't be ignorant of such means and receive the grace supplied by such means.

These means are ways God has given us to present ourselves and become more aware of the grace available to us.

Examples of such means are the Eucharist, the Church, Laying on of Hands, Baptism, Hymns, and Spiritual songs amongst others.

He encourages us to be fully aware and make the most of these means to further strengthen our convictions.

Please listen and share.

Pastor Sam gives a charge on having a firm conviction, regardless of our desired outcome.

First, he teaches that a believer should not have their sight on making money rather, we should be purpose-oriented. He also teaches that God blesses the works of our hands as we walk in purpose so we must not be idle, we must seek to improve on our craft and maximize our ability continually. Lastly, he taught to be content with what walking in God's will for our lives affords us.

Pastor Sam gives an exhortation on why it is important to trust God in all situations. He assures us there is more to life than just seeking our desires, rather our lives consist of God's will for us

Sister Ifeanyi takes us through 4 reasons why we should trust God.

In this part, we continue assessing scriptures that have popularly and erroneously been used as God's promise of riches to the believer. Pastor Sam emphasizes that a man will possess riches in accordance with the work determined for the man by Lord.

Pastor Seye begins a new teaching series on the Character of God. He teaches that every revelation of God is only validated by the fruit that is borne out of such revelation, however supernatural they are. He also taught us how we should respond to supernatural revelations/expressions of God, by not quenching the Spirit and desiring to see the supernatural in our midst. We begin discussing the first Character of God, His faithfulness. Please listen and Share

In this part, we assess popular scriptures that have commonly been misconstrued to imply God wants everybody to be materially wealthy. We see that a proper study of such scriptures shows the corrupt nature of such interpretations. Please listen and share

Pastor Ijeoma continues our Bible study in the book of John. In this bible study, we look at the various reasons why the Jews didn't believe in Jesus despite the various witnesses provided. We see that despite their unbelief, God was glorified in that salvation lies in Jesus alone. Please listen and share

Pastor Sam continues the teaching series by showing us the promise of prosperity that God gives us, and it is that God will meet all our NEEDS. He goes on to give an objective explanation of what our needs are. He explains that our needs are determined by what God has called us to do, therefore a believer that prospers is a believer that is doing God's purpose for their life. He explained that God's prosperity for a believer is to equip the believer to steward creation to declare God's glory and to bring humanity to the knowledge of him. Please listen and share.

Pastor Sam explains why Christianity is considered weird by people of the world. He explains that the wisdom of God is considered foolishness by the world, and it has been like that since the beginning. He describes how reasoning and approach in life must differ from how the world thinks. He encourages us to embrace the "weirdness" for the sake of the gospel and walking in line with God's will. Please listen and share.

Pastor Sam continues the teaching series on the biblical approach to prosperity. We examine in this series the various words used to describe prosperity in the Old and New Testaments, and their implications. We also examine what the bible says about material wealth (riches). Pastor Sam teaches that God's plan for the believer is what is most important and not his socio-economic status. God's disposition to the believer is not the amount of money the believer has but the quality of life the believer lives in God's plan for his life. He teaches that God would supply whatever the believer needs to fulfill God's plan for their lives.

Pastor Sam takes us through The Didache in the first scholarship service of the year. The Didache is one of the earliest Christian writing known to us dated as early as 50 AD - 100AD.
