    The writings of the Apostle John are a treasure trove of theological insight, and within his inspired words we find three definitive statements about the nature of God: “God is spirit” (John 4:24, ESV), “God is light” (1 John 1:5, ESV), and “God is love” (1 John 4:8, 16, ESV).

     | 1,804 views

    Are we children of God? Or do we just claim the name with charades and dismiss the character? Isn’t that what today’s text is all about? On a daily basis, we are called to live up to the name because the way we live is supposed to illustrate who Jesus is!

    PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT Text: I John 3:1- 7 The story is told of Alexander the Great confronting a coward: "Alexander the Great had a soldier in his army who also bore the name Alexander. But this man was a coward. Alexander the Great called him before him and said to him, "You ...read more

    The paramount of Christianity is love. We have been taught what it is, exhorted to practice it and yet many still do not practice it when it is most needed.

    Contributed by Efe Oluwatosin on Nov 23, 2025
     | 134 views

    In Matthew 23:23, Jesus Christ emphasised that showing mercy is more important than sacrifice. Practising mercy nurtures a life filled with love and true fulfilment.

    Being merciful means embracing compassion, forgiveness, and understanding instead of judgment or punishment—even when you have the power to do otherwise. Far from weakness, it’s a formidable strength rooted in empathy and wisdom. How to cultivate the spirit of mercy 1. Understand before ...read more

    In a culture of affluence we must practice simplicity and generosity if we are to love God first and draw closer to him.

But there is a second sickness we have in this country, the sickness of affluence, riches, greed, ...read more

    The sermon urges us to notice others’ struggles and actively support one another with practical love, reflecting Jesus by carrying each other’s burdens.

    Friends, welcome. If we could see the invisible backpacks in this room, we’d see them bulging. Some are stuffed with worry about kids or parents. Some sag with bills that don’t match the paycheck. Some are crammed with grief that doesn’t clock out at night. We smile, we sing, we shake hands—but ...read more
