Beholding the Incarnation | Luke 1 -2:40 | Samuel Oyeyinka

We Need to Celebrate Christmas To properly appreciate Christmas, we must understand the story behind it. Christmas is not merely a season or a tradition. It is God’s answer to humanity’s greatest problem. “She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21). The greatest problem of mankind is not poverty, injustice, or suffering. It i...

We are completely dependent on God in every area of life. Physically, He sustains us—providing the breath in our lungs, our daily food, and everything necessary for survival. Spiritually, our salvation rests entirely in His hands: initiated by God the Father, secured through the death, resurrection, and glorification of Jesus Christ, and applied to our hearts by the Holy Spirit. This profound real...

LFC Part 30 | 1 Cor 16 | Sam Oyeyinka Pastor Sam concluded the teaching on the Corinthian church by explaining that although the church was gifted, it struggled with pride, disorder, and misunderstanding of God’s sovereignty. He noted that Paul consistently submitted his plans to God, often saying “if the Lord permits” (1 Cor. 16:7; Acts 18:21), aligning with James 4:13–16. True faith, he said, is...

We begin the teaching series by looking closely at what true wisdom really is. Pastor Sam explains that wisdom is whatever roots us in the fear of God and the life that flows from that fear. Scripture teaches that wisdom is not abstract. It is seen in the way we live. James says, “Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom” (James...

What our ressurection will be like | LFC Part 29| 1 Cor 15:12-58 | Sam Oyeyinka Here, Paul’s point is straightforward: if Christ did not rise from the dead, the entire Christian faith collapses. The resurrection is what proves Christianity true. It shows Christ’s authority over death and confirms the truth of everything He said. The prophets spoke of His death for the sins of the world, and Christ...

Love & Light (Part 7) | Assured by Love | 1 John 4:7-21 Everyone who loves is born of God and knows God because God is love by nature. This love for others isn't mere natural affection, but a love that flows from our love for God. Thus, our love for God finds its completion in our love for others. Our love for others should reflect God's display of love, which is 1) Sacrificial, not co...

Learning From the Corinthians (Part 27) | On Spiritual Short-sightedness | 1 Corinthians 15:1-2 Apostle Paul speaks of salvation in three tenses: past, present, and future. We were saved from the penalty, parentage, and power of sin; we are being saved from the practice of sin; and we will be saved from the presence of sin. The means by which we were saved is the same means by which we are being s...

Love & Light 06 | God's Children Now and Then | Seye Maj' | 1 John 3:1-10

Christ, Our Living Hope | Pastor Adeola Ogundele | 1 Peter 1:1-5 In this sermon, Pastor Adeola highlighted the timeless relevance of Peter’s letter to Gentile churches under Roman persecution, noting its direct application to believers dispersed worldwide today, particularly the church in Nigeria. Peter used Old Testament titles to affirm these Gentile Christians as God’s elect, chosen by divine w...

Love & Light (Part 5) | An Exhortation to Abide | 1 John 2:18-27 One of the marks of the end times is the spread of false prophets and false doctrines. These teachers deny Christ’s incarnation and create a ‘Christ’ of their own making. When people abandon sound doctrine, they become instruments of deception, their consciences seared, something that is not based on outward appearance or tempera...

1 John 2:15-29 — Love and Light 04 | An Exhortation to not Love We are called to love God by turning away from darkness. To love Him is to seek His will, obey His word, and walk in His light. When John says, “Do not love the world,” he is not speaking of the material world that God made good. We are stewards of creation, called to study and manage it as a reflection of His glory. It is not wrong t...

He is the perfect light and does not change in degree of brightness. He is just, loving, and true, with no injustice, hatred, or inconsistency. As the source of all light, He remains unchanging in His perfection. John cal...

Be Anxious for Nothing | Dara Ewetola | Matthew 6:25-33

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...

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...
