    Part 4: Why God Often Withholds Explanation Series

    Contributed by Rev Emmanuel O. Adejugbe on Jan 23, 2026
     | 89 views

    If God is present and active, why is He so silent? We live in an age of information where we expect a 'why' for every 'what.' But in this message, we discover that God often withholds the explanation to protect the formation.

    The Question We're All Asking We've learned that God is hidden, but not absent. We've learned that silence is refinement, not punishment. We've learned that God knows us intimately, even in the darkness. But now we come to the hardest question of all. If God is really present. If ...read more

    This sermon deals with the joy of fellowship that comes between those who love God. This sermon is #2 in my series on the Book of Philippians.

    Think about this for just a minute.

Did you know that nowhere else in the religious writings of the world, outside of ...read more

    Comparison Loses Its Grip: The Triumph Of Weakness

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 28, 2026
     | 41 views

    The cross triumphs by re-centering the self in Christ, turning anxious self-reliance into grateful boasting in the Lord.

    The cross wins. That sentence is easy to say. It’s familiar. It sounds settled. But if we pause long enough to let it register, we begin to feel how strange it really is. Because nothing about the cross looks like winning. Nothing about it fits our instincts about power, success, or effectiveness. ...read more
