We kick off July with a new theme 'Pilgrims Must Make Progress by Moving from Good to Great on the Journey to Authenticity'! In a sermon titled 'Beware the Spirit of Competition', Pastor Sackey reminds us that our Christian walk is a pilgrimage marked by spiritual growth and not comparison. As members of one body, we are called to pursue Christ, celebrate one another, and reject the spirit of competition that breeds division and pride.Key Scriptures: Hebrews 11:13–16 | Philippians 3:12–14 | 1 Corinthians 12:12–26 | Romans 12:9–11

Pastor Abraham Sackey concludes our 'In Christ Jesus' preaching series by reminding us that our completeness is found in Christ alone.

Looking at the examples of Abraham, Job, and Elkanah, we're reminded that strong families are built on men who walk by faith, lead with integrity, and find their satisfaction in Christ alone.May this message encourage us to build homes founded on God's truth, love, and unwavering faithfulness.

This week, Rev Sam Ajibola challenges us to examine the evidence of our life in Christ.

This week, Elder Sam Aiyere preaches that in Christ, God has already blessed us with every spiritual blessing. The challenge is often not a lack of provision, but a lack of understanding of what has already been made available through Christ.Be encouraged to live with gratitude, confidence, and assurance, knowing that you are chosen, redeemed, adopted into God’s family, and sealed by the Holy Spirit.Key Scripture: Ephesians 1:3

It must be stressed that the Day of Pentecost did not introduce a new type of Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit at creation is the same Holy Spirit Who manifested on the Day of Pentecost.

Through Scripture, we’re called to stay alert, guard our hearts and minds, and stand firm using the full armour of God. Victory is already ours, but we must remain watchful, grounded in truth, and led by the Spirit.

Pastor Abraham Sackey preaches on not just knowing Jesus as the Bread of Life, but truly partaking in Him. Through John 6, we’re reminded that Christ is our source of eternal life, provision, and satisfaction and as believers, we are called to carry and share that same life with others.This message challenges us to move beyond surface faith, to daily depend on Christ, walk in bold faith, and become vessels through which He reaches a hungry world.

Our Good Friday service saw Pastor Ade Abiodun preach from John 6 on Jesus as the true Bread of Life. While physical bread sustains for a moment, only Christ satisfies eternally. He offers life, purpose, and righteousness to all who believe.This message is a call to move beyond the temporary and place full faith in Jesus, the only One who truly satisfies and gives everlasting life.

Drawing from Ephesians 6:13, Pastor Nigel Bainbridge preaches on the power of standing firm in times of spiritual warfare. Standing isn’t passive, it’s a powerful act of faith, trusting God to fight while we remain rooted in Him.When the day of evil comes, don’t retreat. Stand.

We wrap up February's theme 'Let Us Continue to Pray Steadfastly' with a word from Pastor Mbakwe. He delves into the foundation of apostolic authority and the power of divine revelation. True authority in the Kingdom is not positional - it flows from revelation of Christ and alignment with His purpose. When God reveals His will, He also releases the grace and authority to walk in it.

Drawing from Philippians 1, Elder Aiyere explores how joy in prayer flows from two powerful dimensions - intimacy with God and partnership with His people. Even in persecution and hardship, Paul prayed with joy because his confidence was rooted in relationship, communion, and Kingdom collaboration. True joy in prayer is not circumstantial; it is relational.

In this message, Elder Oguntonade challenges us to move beyond casual prayer into labouring prayer — prayer that is intentional, persistent, and costly. Through the example of Epaphras, we are reminded that true spiritual maturity is formed in the secret place, where believers contend, intercede, and remain steadfast until God’s will is fully accomplished.

As we pray persistently and in the Spirit, we deepen our fellowship with God and grow in spiritual strength and maturity.

Reverend Ajibola draws from James 5 in this message - we are reminded how to respond to life’s circumstances through prayer, praise, faith, and responsibility. Whether facing suffering, sickness, or joy, we are reminded that prayer is central, faith must be active, and God ultimately has the final say in healing and restoration.

Deaconess Aiyere continues this month's theme on a word titled 'When You Pray, Go Into Your Room, Dwelling in the Secret Place'. It's call to rediscover the secret place of prayer where intimacy with God is formed. We are remindedthat true prayer is not performance but relationship; this is shutting out distractions, meeting with the Father in secret, and being transformed from the inside out. The greatest reward of prayer is God Himself.

Our Christmas Day 2025 sermon is preached by Pastor Sackey who speaks on 'The Christ of Christmas - Come Let Us Adore Him'. We reflect on Jesus Christ, the promised Son, Immanuel, God with us. This sermon declares the timeless truth of Christ’s birth and invites us into a lifelong response of adoration, worship, and obedience. Far from myth or tradition, the incarnation is God entering human history in a particular time and place for the salvation of all. As we behold the One born in a manger and proclaimed by Scripture, we are called afresh to honour Him with our lives. Come, let us adore Him.

A prophetic declaration released as we entered the New Year.

In our first Sunday service of the year, we are powerfully called to return to steadfast, Spirit-led prayer.

As we recover a life of prayer, the Holy Spirit ignites us again with spontaneous, fervent prayer that sustains the Church and advances God’s Kingdom.

Reverend Ajibola delivers an encouraging sermon in our last Sunday of the year, with the title of 'I Wish It Could Always Be Christmas'. This message reminds us that Christmas is more than a season - it is the foundation of our salvation. Through the birth of Jesus, God brought light into darkness and made it possible for believers to experience His love, joy, peace, hope, and assurance daily. In Christ, the blessings of Christmas are not temporary but meant to be lived out every day.

This week's sermon is delivered by Pastor Mbakwe who preaches on this month's subtheme of 'They Presented Gifts: Gold, Frankincense & Myrrh'.This Christmas message reflects on the worship of the wise men and challenges us to examine the heart and cost of our worship. True worship is intentional, reverent, and sacrificial - recognising the worth of Jesus the King. As we come before Him, the question remains: what are we bringing to the King?

Deaconess Adekoya preaches on the topic of 'The Christmas Story - Full of Redemptive Truth'. The meaning of Christmas is explored, beyond tradition and celebration. From humanity’s fall to God’s redemptive plan fulfilled in Jesus Christ, we are reminded that Christmas is the glorious reality of God entering human history to bring salvation, hope, peace, and renewal. Christmas tells the story of God’s love, redemption, and His desire to restore humanity through Christ. HALLELUJAH!

We believe that The Lord still speaks through human agents to bring comfort and build up the Church.Listen to what was said and pray about it.

We continue our theme of 'Be Safe, Remind Them of These Things' with a word revsiting the topic of 'The God-Dependent Christian'. This message reminds us that all effort is empty without God at the centre. True success comes from dependence on Him; seeking His wisdom, aligning with His will, and trusting His sufficiency. A God-dependent life is one built, protected, and sustained by the Master Builder Himself.

Elder Aiyere speaks on 'Mindset of the Owner' - we've been called to shift from passive Christianity to active ownership. True service means taking responsibility for God’s work with excellence, integrity, and love just as Jesus did. When we serve with an ownership mindset, God is honoured, His Kingdom advances, families grow stronger, the church becomes healthier, and society is transformed.

This week's sermon continues on our theme with a sermon from Deaconness Aiyere, revisiting 'Accepted to Offer Acceptable Service'. We are accepted by grace, not by our works. From that place of acceptance, we are called to serve God acceptably, beginning in our homes. This message reminds us that worship starts in daily life — through love, humility, and faithful service to those closest to us.

We continue our theme of 'Be Safe, Remind Them of These Things' in November with an encouraging word from Pastor Sackey who speaks on 'The Learned Christian'. A call to move beyond surface-level Christianity and grow as true disciples who learn from Christ daily. The learned Christian is rooted in the Word, shaped by obedience, and steadily growing in grace — becoming more like Jesus in every season of life.

Our sermon to wrap up the month of October covers the topic of 'Grace Matters'. Pastor Udoh speaks on how grace is more than a concept — it’s the active power of God at work in our lives. It saves, sustains, restores, and empowers us to live, love, and serve. We are who we are by His grace — unearned, unshakable, and unstoppable.

Reminding someone of something can have many benefits depending on the context. a.  A consistent reminder helps form routines, reinforces and helps   retain information.b.  People are more likely to complete tasks when reminded.c.  A reminder reduces mistakes and forgetfulness, especially for   important or time-sensitive matters.

Our preaching theme 'Be Safe, Remind Them of These Things' continues with a word from our esteemed Pastor Mbakwe. We are reminded that we were never meant to do life alone. True peace and fruitfulness come from total dependence on God; staying connected to the Vine, seeking His guidance, walking humbly, and trusting Him completely.

Pastor Sackey delivers an impactful word on Ownership Matters to kick off the series for this month which is 'Be Safe, Remind Them of These Things'. We are called to own our faith, our lives, and the ministry — not as hirelings, but as true stewards who protect what God has entrusted to us.

We wrap up our series 'Divine Directives & Expectation' with a powerful word from Elder Aiyere who preached on 'How I Fight My Battles of Service'.
