May 10th, 2026 | 'Our Mother's Magnificat' with Dr. Christa Smith-Kingston Dr. Christa explores Mary’s Magnificat as a prophetic, subversive anthem that resists empire, lifts the lowly, and re-frames family around kinship and care. Drawing on Eco-theology, community work, and feminist voices, she imagines Mary as a doula to the kingdom. Through stories from Christian Direction’s food markets, urban gardening and youth programs, Dr. Christa shows practical ways to embody justice, welcome the marginalized, and nurture hope this Mother’s Day and beyond.

April 26th, 2026 | 'Believers Responsibility: Using our Gifts' with Ps Ernest Okyere-Twum This sermon on Ephesians 4:7-16 explains that every Christian is given a spiritual gift and clarifies the difference between natural talents and Spirit-given gifts. Ps Ernest gives brief overviews of several gifts and shows how God equips believers to minister to others.

Believers Responsibility: Oneness - Deacon Ben Leung

April 19th, 2026 | 'Believers Responsibility: Oneness' with Deacon Ben Leung This sermon explores Ephesians chapter 4, urging believers to "live a life worthy of the calling" they have received. It contrasts the blessings and power discussed earlier with the responsibilities believers must now carry—both individually and as a church. Paul’s four relational attributes—humility, gentleness, patience, and bearing with one another—are presented as the measure of a worthy life, while the unity of the Spirit and the "seven ones" (one body, one Spirit, one hope; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all) ground the church’s mission. The sermon concludes with a call to protect unity through the bond of peace and to live out the gospel together in diversity.
