COLONIAL JESUS; AFRICAN QUESTIONS

The talk explores how Christianity was introduced to Africa during the colonial period and raises questions about how Jesus and the gospel were presented in that context. It discusses the idea that missionaries and colonial powers sometimes mixed the message of Jesus with Western culture, politics, and control. The panelists question whether Africans were taught the true message of Jesus or a version shaped by colonial interests. The discussion encourages African Christians to re-examine their faith, understand the Bible for themselves, and separate the teachings of Christ from colonial influence.

LEGALISM ABIDING BY THE LAW

The message explains that legalism focuses on obeying religious rules and laws in order to appear righteous or earn salvation. However, simply following rules does not necessarily change the heart. The panelists emphasize that while God’s law is important, it should not replace a genuine relationship with God.

SUNDAY IS COMING

Sunday is coming : On Good Friday, it looked like everything was over. Jesus had been crucified, hope seemed lost, and to His followers it felt like defeat. The words “It is finished” sounded like the end. But the story didn’t end on Friday.On Sunday morning, the tomb was empty. Jesus rose again, proving that what looked like defeat was actually part of God’s greater plan. The resurrection reminds us that even when life feels like Friday—when we feel broken, overwhelmed, or like everything has fallen apart—heaven has not lost control.Because of Christ, we know that Friday is not the end of the story. Sunday is coming. There is hope, there is restoration, and through Him we will rise again.
