Pastor Colins Nwosu continued our teaching series The Trinity of the Godhead, diving into God The Father Part 2 to reveal the intimacy and accessibility of our Heavenly Father. Anchored in 1 Corinthians 8:6 (AMPC) and 1 John 5:7, we were reminded that through Christ, believers now have confident access to the Father. The teaching explored the heart of God as a loving Father who desires relationship, closeness, and fellowship with His children. Through the finished work of Jesus on the cross in Matthew 27:50–53, we saw that humanity’s separation from God was broken, granting us direct access into His presence. The message emphasised that our relationship with God is no longer built on fear or distance, but on grace, mercy, and sonship. Drawing from Hebrews 4:14–16 and Romans 8:15, we learned that we no longer approach God with trembling, slave like fear. We see that the Holy Spirit has adopted us into God’s family, empowering us to cry out, “Abba, Father,” an intimate and tender expression of a loving Dad. Through the beautiful illustration of the prodigal son in Luke 15:17–24, Pastor Colins highlighted the Fatherhood of God as compassionate, welcoming, and restorative. The sermon concluded by showcasing the heart of the Father: a God who does not wait for us to perform, but runs to embrace, kiss, and restore us the moment we turn back to Him. Confession: Lord, I thank You that the veil has been torn and I have direct access to Your throne of grace. I cast away all slave like fear and fully embrace my identity as Your child. I cry “Abba, Father” today, knowing that You run to meet me in my weakness, cover me with Your mercy, and celebrate my restoration. Amen!

Seventy Times Seven/Pastor Colins Nwosu/MidWek Service

Peter thought he was being generous. "How many times should I forgive? Seven?" Jesus said seventy times seven. In other words, stop counting. In this highly interactive teaching, Pastor Colins Nwosu titled "Seventy Times Seven," exploring one of the most challenging expressions of love: forgiveness. He reminded us that forgiveness is not a feeling that arrives once the hurt fades. It is a conscious, deliberate decision to let go of resentment, bitterness, and the urge to get even. And Proverbs 18:19 shows us the stakes: offence does not just wound, it builds walls and locks doors that used to be open. Through the engaging contributions and conversations, we also explored the wisdom required to handle offences, pursue reconciliation, and guard against the destructive consequences of unresolved hurt. Drawing from Matthew 18:15–17 and Proverbs 19:11, PCN reminded us that forgiveness does not remove the need for honest conversations, healthy boundaries, or wisdom, but it frees our hearts from bitterness. The message ultimately brought us back to our own relationship with God: as people who continually receive His mercy, we are called to extend forgiveness to others. The challenge was deeply personal: we cannot always control how people treat us, but through God's grace, we can choose what we allow to remain in our hearts. Confession: Father, You have forgiven me more than I could count, and never held it over me. Give me courage to release what I have been carrying. Take out the resentment, the bitterness, and the urge to get even. Where I need to speak to someone, give me humility. Where I need to let go, give me grace. I choose to forgive, because You first forgave me. Set me free. In Jesus' mighty name, Amen.

God's Loving-Kindness!/Pastor Femi Paul/Retro Praise Sunday

Pastor Femi Paul brought our teaching series to a beautiful conclusion with a message titled "God's Loving-Kindness!" Drawing from Psalm 103:1–5, we were reminded that God has not only redeemed our lives, but has crowned us with loving-kindness and tender mercies. PFP explained that the Hebrew word Hesed speaks of faithful love in action: love that is steadfast, dependable, and continually expressed through goodness and mercy. From Jeremiah 31, we saw a God who declares, "I've never quit loving you and never will," whose everlasting love draws us to Himself, rebuilds us, and assures us that we can expect love, love, and more love. The message reached its powerful conclusion in Titus 3:4, where we saw God's loving-kindness move beyond an idea or attribute and appear in a Person: Jesus Christ. God's love did not remain distant or theoretical; it came to us, reached for us, and saved us. His loving-kindness is great beyond measure, His faithfulness is renewed every morning, and wisdom teaches us to recognise His love at work throughout our lives. The series may have concluded, but its call remains: to receive God's love, recognise His loving-kindness, and allow the love we have experienced in Christ to become love in action through us. Confession: Lord, thank You for crowning me with Your loving-kindness and tender mercies. I receive Your faithful love afresh today and rest in the assurance that You have never stopped loving me and never will. Help me to recognise Your goodness throughout my life and, having received Your love so freely, let that same love become visible through me. Amen.

Loving God's Way – The Role of the Holy Spirit/Min. Eshema Momoh/Interactive MidWeek Service

Min. Eshema Momoh continued our teaching series with a practical and insightful message titled "Loving God's Way – The Role of the Holy Spirit." Drawing from 1 Corinthians 13:4–7, Romans 5:5, and Galatians 5:16–17, we were reminded that God's kind of love is not something we manufacture through willpower or good intentions. The love described in Scripture—patient, kind, selfless, and enduring—is the very character of Christ, and it can only be consistently expressed as the Holy Spirit works within us. We learned that God's love has already been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, making Him the source and strength behind a life of genuine love. The message challenged us to stop relying on human effort and instead walk daily in step with the Holy Spirit. As we yield to His leading, He empowers us to overcome the desires of the flesh and produces the character of Christ within us. Loving God's way is therefore not simply a command to obey, but a life to be surrendered to. The more we walk with the Holy Spirit, the more His love becomes visible through our words, attitudes, and actions, revealing Christ to the world around us. Confession: Lord, thank You for pouring Your love into my heart through the Holy Spirit. Teach me to depend on Him daily, so that my thoughts, words, and actions reflect the love of Christ. Let Your Spirit continually shape my character, enabling me to love Your way and become a true reflection of Your heart. Amen.

Love in Action/Pastor Femi Paul/Mid-Year Special Thansgiving Service

Love is not a noun. It is a verb. This week, Pastor Femi Paul shifted the conversation from what we believe about love to what we actually do with it. Drawing from 1 John 3:18–19, we were reminded that love is more than words, emotions, or good intentions; it must be demonstrated through sincere and practical action. Building on the truth that love is the essence of God, Pastor Femi explained that kindness is the essence of love, making kindness the clearest expression of love in action. Through the parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus shifted the conversation from "Who is my neighbour?" to "Go and do the same," teaching us that genuine love is revealed in compassion, kindness, and a willingness to meet the needs of others. The message challenged us to move beyond lip service and become people whose actions consistently reflect the love of Christ. Looking at the early church in Acts 2, we saw a community whose generosity, hospitality, and genuine care for one another caused them to be respected, admired, and attractive to those around them. Pastor reminded us that our actions either validate or contradict our profession of faith. The call was clear and deeply personal: now is the time to put God's love into action, as PFP concluded, "I know you can; I trust you will." Confession: Lord, thank You for loving me so completely and unconditionally. Let Your love move beyond my words and become evident in my actions every day. Fill my heart with kindness, compassion, and sincerity, so that my life points others to You and reflects the love of Christ wherever I go. In Jesus' mighty name, Amen.

The Greatest/Pastor Femi Paul /Warfare Wednesday (July 2026)

Pastor Femi Paul continued our teaching series with a heart-searching message titled "The Greatest!" Drawing from 1 Corinthians 13:13, we were reminded that while faith, hope, and love are all foundational to the Christian life, the greatest of these is love. Challenging the world's measures of greatness, Pastor Femi declared that money is not the greatest, power is not the greatest, fame is not the greatest, luxury is not the greatest; love is the greatest. Reading from Matthew 7, we learned that a person's true identity is revealed by their fruit, not merely by what they profess. True godliness is demonstrated through a life transformed by God's love. Building on this truth, Pastor Femi showed that without love, even the greatest acts of faith, sacrifice, or service lose their value before God. The evidence of a Spirit-filled life is not found in impressive words or outward achievements, but in the fruit the Holy Spirit produces within us, beginning with love. As we yield to the Holy Spirit, His presence shapes our character, producing a life marked by joy, peace, kindness, faithfulness, and above all, love. The message left us with a profound reminder: the greatest evidence that Christ lives in us is not what we accomplish, but how deeply we love. Confession: Lord, thank You for loving me with a love that never fails. Let Your Holy Spirit continually shape my heart until love becomes the fruit of everything I say and do. May my life reflect Your character, my actions reveal Your presence, and my love point others to You. In Jesus' mighty name, Amen.
