Against Partiality | Doers of the Word 02 | James 2:1-13 | Seye Maj' In this sermon, Pastor Seye Maj emphasised that while it is good to know that God is sovereign and that all things are subservient to our salvation, the book of James calls us to live out the Word we believe. Head knowledge alone is insufficient; we must be doers of the Word.God uses His Word as the instrument of our conversion and sanctification. When the Word confronts our sin, we must not treat it as an enemy or respond in anger. Instead, we should receive it with meekness, because it is the Word that produces the fruit of righteousness in us. A religion that does not control the tongue or align our lives with God’s Word is worthless. We are called to be doers of the Word, not mere hearers.One clear evidence of genuine faith, according to James 2, is the absence of partiality. Showing favouritism or being a respecter of persons is sin. God is not partial. He welcomes both the rich and the poor into His kingdom. When we show favouritism, we contradict the gospel and deny the equal value of every person for whom Christ died. Partiality is so subtle that we often treat it as normal, yet it has no place among those who hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ.As recipients of God’s mercy and grace, we are called to speak and act as people who have been forgiven and justified. We must love our neighbour as ourselves and walk in a manner worthy of our calling. In all things, in the church and in daily life, we must remember the gospel: God shows no partiality, and neither should we.

Blind Men and Cripples | Matt 19:1-12 | Kingsley Akanihu

From Mark 1:29–39, we are invited into a quiet but profound moment where Jesus leaves the synagogue and enters a home, reminding us that His ministry is not confined to public spaces but extends into the ordinary rhythms of life. In healing Simon’s mother-in-law, He reveals both His identity and His mission. He lifts her up with resurrection power, and the order is intentional: she is raised first, then she serves. This becomes the defining rhythm of the gospel.We are not saved because we serve; we serve because we have been saved. God is always the first mover. Just as He delivered Israel before giving the law and called Abraham before obedience, He restores us before calling us into service. Our love, generosity, and obedience are responses to grace already given, ensuring that all glory returns to Christ and not to human effort.Yet being raised carries responsibility. A life that has truly encountered grace will express itself through service, generosity, and love for others. To remain idle after receiving grace is a contradiction. At the same time, this passage reminds us that miracles are not the destination but signposts. While Jesus heals and delivers, showing His authority over all brokenness, His priority remains salvation over temporary relief.Finally, Jesus models dependence on God through His withdrawal to pray, showing that prayer is a place of realignment and sustained purpose. This reframes suffering, not as evidence of God’s absence but as part of His formation process, where patience, character, and hope are built. The message is clear and steady: you were raised first, now live a life that serves.

In this message, PSam teaches on the dangers of greed and the difference between contentment and complacency, drawing from 1 Timothy 6:3–12. Many people believe they are dreaming big when they seek to amass wealth and fame in this world, but such ambitions are actually small because they are focused on temporary, earthly things rather than God’s eternal purpose.The human soul longs for rest, joy, peace, and wholeness, yet these desires cannot be fulfilled by material wealth. Only Christ truly satisfies them. God assigns estates in life, and believers are called to receive the estates God assigns without resentment. Everything good we possess is given by God’s mercy, not because it is owed.Godliness is not a means of financial gain. The desire for riches leads to temptation, anxiety, and sin because money promises what it cannot deliver. While money can meet certain needs, it cannot guarantee love, security, or peace, often drawing people into an endless pursuit of more.Contentment is not a call to poverty or idleness. Scripture affirms diligence, provision, and responsibility, especially toward family. Any teaching that encourages neglect of these duties in the name of faith is false and does not align with God’s will.True contentment is a posture of the heart that recognizes God has already provided enough for obedience in the present season. Submission to God’s will is not merely spoken but lived, as believers remain faithful where God has placed them.

On Tithing, Generosity and Evil of being a User* | LFC Part 30 | 1 Cor 16:1-4 | Sam OyeyinkaIn this sermon, pastor Sam explained that true Christian giving is directed to the saints because it is giving to God Himself. Any giving driven by selfish ambition or desire for personal gain is ungodly and non-apostolic. He outlines two primary directions of New Testament giving:1. Giving to God’s servants (ministers of the gospel). Honouring them honours God and brings His blessings. 2. Giving to believers and the poor. Giving to them is giving to Jesus, it is a sweet smelling sacrifice to God.Paul repeatedly frames giving as a debt we owe because of the gospel. The deeper we grasp God’s grace, the more generous we become. Struggling with giving reveals we do not fully understand what Christ has done for us. Paul commanded regular, proportionate giving. From the early church onward, this has been understood as the tithe (10%). In Christ, we do not tithe to become righteous, rather, we tithe because we are righteous. God’s love is the cause; generous giving is the fruit.Hearts transformed by the gospel give gratefully, generously, regularly, purely and transparently.

Common grace refers to the unmerited favor of God that extends to all of humanity, regardless of their spiritual state. This grace is evident in the beauty of creation, the moral order, and the general blessings of life that everyone experiences. It is a reflection of God's goodness and mercy, allowing people to enjoy life, relationships, and the world around them, even if they do not acknowledge Him. The Apostle Paul highlights the supremacy of Christ in Colossians 1:15-20, emphasizing that all things were created through Him and for Him. This underscores the truth that everything in existence is ultimately under the authority of Christ, and it is through Him that we understand the fullness of God's grace.In Colossians 1:20, Paul speaks of Christ reconciling all things to Himself, making peace through the blood of His cross. This reconciliation is not limited to believers but extends to the entirety of creation. The scope of Christ's redemptive work encompasses all things, indicating that God's plan is to restore and redeem the world from the effects of sin. This is a profound truth that reveals God's desire for wholeness and peace, not just for individuals but for the entire cosmos. The distinction between common grace and saving grace is crucial; while common grace allows all people to experience God's goodness, saving grace is the specific work of God that brings individuals into a personal relationship with Him through faith in Christ.Understanding common grace leads to a deeper appreciation of our purpose as believers. We are created for good works, as stated in Ephesians 2:10, where we are described as God's workmanship, designed to fulfill His will on earth. This purpose transcends material wealth or personal ambition; it aligns with God's overarching plan to reconcile and restore creation. Our lives should reflect the goodness of God, demonstrating His love and grace to those around us. As we engage in good works, we participate in God's mission, bringing light to a world often shrouded in darkness.The practical application of this understanding is to recognize that our value is not determined by what we possess but by our purpose in Christ. We are called to live out our faith actively, engaging in acts of kindness, justice, and mercy that reflect God's character. This means being agents of change in our communities, advocating for the marginalized, and sharing the hope of the Gospel. In doing so, we fulfill our role in God's plan, demonstrating that true health and wealth are found not in material gain but in a life lived in accordance with God's will, bringing glory to Him in all things.
