Jesus had to be human to die, and God to resurrect. Isaiah's prophecy about the virgin birth, Jesus being worshipped, and his resurrection are proofs of the incarnation. Our theology of Christ matters to him, and more so to our understanding of the Christian faith. The divinity and humanity of Christ must be reconciled to have the proper interpretation of his person.

The manifestation of the holiness of God is the glory of God. It is first a message before it is an experience. God's plan is for the whole earth to be filled with his glory. The moment a person believes the gospel, they have seen the glory of God.

This teaching explores the Christological heresy of Arianism, which denies Jesus' deity, by claiming He was a created being rather than God. We examine how this false doctrine spread in the early church and how Alexander stood against Arios. The controversy led to Constantine summoning the first ecumenical council and forming the Nicene Creed. The message also highlights the danger of false teachi...

One of the best ways to know what something is is to know what it is not. At the beginning of this new teaching series, we delve into some theological controversies to understand who Jesus is not, so that we can better understand who He truly is.

Temptation is something we all deal with every day, and sometimes it shows up looking like freedom. That is why we, as believers, have to stay alert. It often starts with a simple thought, something contrary to what God says. If we don’t catch it early, that thought can become a desire that pulls us toward sin. The key is to deal with it immediately, before it takes root and leads us in the wrong ...

Leaps and Bounds Abuja What do you do when the Lord gives you a vision that looks humanly impossible? If you have fear instead of faith, something is wrong, and this traces back to the fall of man. So, how then do you respond to and handle those great visions? We are taught how to do so in this stirring session of the Leaps and Bounds Abuja meeting.

Faith is a belief system. Christianity cannot be done on a believer's terms but rather by the standard set by God. Everything that Christ did for us substantiates our faith in God. In this episode, we dwell on what the Christian worldview is and what makes up a believer's fundamental beliefs, values, and assumptions about key aspects of existence.

In this powerful session from Leaps and Bounds Lagos, we are reminded that while grace and divine moments (kairos) open doors, only labour sustains what has been given. Drawing from Ephesians 4:11, the message emphasizes the importance of honouring God’s servants, recognizing that men are God’s gifts to men. Honour is a vital currency in the kingdom, and to walk in ancient graces, we must uphold t...

In the Catalyst Church, we have experienced grace and kairos by the help of God. Now, it is time for labour! It is the time to learn sustenance of the graces we have received in the place of labour in prayers. We must not always wait for special meetings and encounters with God. As necessary as these meetings are, there is also a place for labour.

As a believer, you can grow in faith. Those who do more for God have expanded their faith by hearing and acting on His Word. Visionary faith isn’t just believing in what is. It is believing in what is possible. A visionary believer sees God’s plan, anchors to His promises, and moves with conviction. Faith isn’t wishful thinking, it’s action. It dares to see the future God has promised and brings i...

A believer must take heed of his heart. You have a part to play in remaining steadfast. You must understand that the things you feed on will significantly affect your walk with God. The church in Colossae had issues with doctrines from Jewish teachers laying on them legalism. But Apostle Paul teaches them to stand firm in the truth of the Word of God and reminds them of how their experience with C...

How we respond to any word God gives us matters. Faith exploits would be challenging and would not always be within our comfort zone. Actions of faith involves holding on to the word of God. Our faith banks on a God that has the ability to do signs and wonders. Facts are not determined by experiences and our experiences don’t influence the word of God but the word should influence our experiences.

Apostle Paul’s letter to the Colossians is a powerful reminder that Christ is enough. In a world filled with distractions and false teachings, believers must stand firm in the truth of the gospel, letting their lives reflect Christ in every way. The Word of God is not just literature; it is divine, bringing light, understanding, and transformation. Instead of seeking worldly wisdom or mystery, we...

Faith is believing even in an environment of contradiction. It would always be tenacious, no matter the circumstance. Sometimes, the hard times you go through are to make you stronger. God has a will too, and He cannot be threatened to do as you will. Therefore, submit to His sovereignty.

The church in Colossae faced challenges from false ideologies and doctrines. The Apostle Paul addressed this by emphasizing Christ's preeminence and sufficiency. He taught about Christ's supremacy and divinity, establishing important doctrines about His role in salvation and our submission to Him. As believers, Christ must be central in how we live our lives, both in doctrine and in conduc...

Faith is the currency of God. It has always been the yardstick before the law came. Without faith, it is impossible to please God. The law was not given to reveal right from wrong or to make us righteous. It was given to reveal God's holy standard.

This is the introductory teaching to the Letter to the Church in Colossae series. We are taught how to conduct proper Bible study, diligently expound scriptures, read in context, and practice exegesis. The church in Colossae used other mediums to reach Christ, implying that Christ was not enough for them. Paul wrote this letter to address them against this. We draw lessons from this relating to ou...

We often hear that faith moves mountains, but what about the faith that endures the storm? True faith isn't just about instant breakthroughs; it’s about total dependence on God, even when things don’t look good. From the Old Testament to the New Testament, faith remains the unwavering trust in God’s plan, not in our own efforts or temporary securities. Join us as we explore the full picture of fai...

No matter how crazy in love you might be with that person, remember that there is a right way to go about handling relationships. Ensure that you prepare adequately by asking the important questions to know enough about this person and seek Godly counsel while doing so.

There are marks of spiritual growth and love is one of them. A person's growth can be gauged by their love walk. As believers, we cannot say we love God if we don't love His family. When we got saved, it was not just about eternal life but also about joining an eternal family, and that must foster a family mindset in you.

Marriage is not a destination. It is a lifelong journey of becoming one flesh, body, and soul. God’s design for marriage is forever, and true partnership begins when two operate as one. Understanding the differences between men and women is key. But unity in purpose is the foundation. Let’s explore God's divine truth about marriage—its purpose, and the preparation it requires, in this sermon.

If only we handled our relationships better, heartbreaks wouldn’t be so bad. God takes relationships seriously, and so must we. Understanding God's love in Christ gives us a different perspective on loving our neighbours. The sacrifice of Christ bestows on us the responsibility to love as He did. And the redemption work of Christ has empowered us to love, empowered by the Holy Ghost.

Marriage is more than just an earthly institution. It carries deep spiritual significance. It reflects the union between Christ and the Church, showing how two become one, just as believers are one with Christ. In this sermon, we explore the divine mystery of marriage and its mirror effect on our faith journey.

Just as you count the cost before starting any project, you must do the same before entering a relationship. Christian dating is not casual. It is intentional, with marriage in view. Without the right structures, relationships can crumble. So you must learn the key principles for building relationships.

How do you know when you are in love? Most of the time, what we think of as love is probably just an infatuation or lust for someone. Feelings are not enough reason to date a person and more so for the wrong reasons identified in this sermon. It is important to consider real-life issues, and things of priority when you are in a dating relationship. This sermon gives more insight ois.
