  • Part 1: The Hidden God (Deus Absconditus) Series

    Contributed by Rev Emmanuel O. Adejugbe on Jan 20, 2026
     | 143 views

    Where is God when prayers go unanswered and suffering remains? This sermon walks through Job 23 to reveal what God is doing when He seems absent.

    There is a particular kind of loneliness that comes not from isolation, but from silence in the midst of relationship. A spouse who refuses to speak. A parent who withholds explanation. A trusted friend who goes quiet when you need them most. And perhaps most troubling of all, a God who seems ...read more

    based on 9 ratings
     | 21,853 views

    LUKE 19:1-10 Imagine the story with me. Jesus is making his way to Jerusalem. He knew what awaited him there, he knew he was going to be received royally, then in a matter of days, he would be crucified and murdered. He understood this was God’s master plan to offer salvation to the world – ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,729 views

    Jesus’ words and works demonstrate that he has God’s authority to speak and to act, the same as -- and greater than -- the Old Testament Prophets and Kings.
