For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” 1 Samuel 16:7. Have you ever seen a ...read more

    OPENING SLIDE INTRODUCTION • When you hear a Christian talking about walking in the Spirit, have you ever wondered what they mean? • Sometimes when you examine their life, do you think they even know what that phrase means? 🤣 • Today we begin a four-week series looking at what Galatians 5 ...read more

    This is the fourth in a series of messages about the impact of the "unseen" world on this world. This sermon focuses on sexuality and the biblical definition of oneness and intimacy.

    I spent 15 years or so talking to high school students. That’s how I got my start in ministry. So, I talked about sex a lot. I talked about it as much as I possibly could. One of my favorite things to do is I created a lecture that was for premarital sex. I would come in as a different character ...read more

    Part 3: When Praise Is A Protest Series

    Contributed by Rev Emmanuel O. Adejugbe on Feb 10, 2026
     | 249 views

    Your song is a weapon, not just a reaction. We often think of worship as a response to comfort, but the most powerful praise is a rebellion against circumstances. From Habakkuk’s barren fields to Paul and Silas’s midnight jail cell, we examine the "Midnight Mandate."

    THE PATTERN INTERRUPT Here's what we've been taught about praise. We sing when life is good. We worship when circumstances cooperate. We lift our voices when we feel like it. That's conditional worship. That's circumstantial faith. And that's not what the Bible teaches. In ...read more
