  Sola Gratia (By Grace Alone) | Reformation Series | Ezekiel 16:1-14 | Samuel Oyeyinka 04.10.2026 1h 28min

  This sermon teaches that salvation is completely dependent on God's grace because man, in his fallen state, is incapable of achieving righteousness through his own efforts. From the Old Testament to the New Testament, Scripture consistently reveals God as the initiator of salvation. Salvation is God's undeserved gift, not something humanity can earn or merit.Sola Gratia removes human boasting and redirects our confidence from our own abilities to God's finished work. Although believers are called to obedience and good works, these are the results of God's work in them, not the basis of their salvation.

  Samson's Craving And Delilah's Treachery | Samuel Oyeyinka | Isaiah 46 | Part Five 28.09.2026 1h 36min

  Isaiah reminds us that nothing can be compared to God. Our jobs, money, possessions, relationships, and achievements may be good gifts, but they make terrible gods. God alone knows the end from the beginning, and because He has redeemed us for Himself, He alone deserves our complete trust, love, and devotion.Two common places where idolatry takes root are work and relationships. Work and money are means through which we glorify God and receive His provision, not the source of our joy. Likewise, people are instruments God may use to love and care for us, but they cannot bear the weight of being our security or our god.The answer to idolatry is to make God increasingly real to us through the means of grace—prayer, Scripture, communion, and fellowship with His people. As we see more clearly His worth, kindness, promises, and sufficiency, the things we once trusted begin to lose their power over us. Only God can satisfy the deepest longings for which we were made.What stood out to you from this sermon?

  Samson's Craving And Delilah's Treachery | Samuel Oyeyinka | Hosea 2:1–13 | Part Four 21.09.2026 1h 20min

  What happens when the things God gives us to enjoy become the very things we begin to live for?Yesterday’s sermon reminded us that God is not against enjoyment. He gives us good things like money, marriage, and work to enjoy. But we must understand the nature, purpose, and limits of these gifts. Marriage can bring delight, work can provide, and money can meet needs, but none of them can satisfy us like God. We pervert His gifts when we stop at them instead of allowing them to lead us back to the Giver.In Hosea, Israel forgot God’s provision. God had lavished her with silver and gold, yet what He provided was used for Baal. The same pattern appears with the golden calf. Israel took the worship God had taught them and redirected it toward the calf.God tells us how He is to be worshipped, and we cannot replace His way with what we prefer.Samson’s life shows what happens when our cravings begin to rule us. The problem is not enjoying God’s gifts, but expecting them to give us what only God can provide.From 2 Timothy 2:20–21, we were reminded that the material things we have do not determine our purpose or worth. The goal is not for clay to become gold, but for the vessel to be useful to the Master, prepared for every good work.Our worth, therefore, is not found in our station or estate in life, but in what God has made us for.What stood out to you from the sermon?

  Samson's Craving And Delilah's Treachery | Samuel Oyeyinka | Philippians 3: 1-11 | Part Three 14.09.2026 1h 14min

  This sermon reminded us that the things we value most will eventually shape what we pursue, sacrifice for, and place our confidence in.God gives us good things like money, companionship, food, honour, security, and success. But when we expect these gifts to give us the lasting satisfaction, identity, and assurance that only God can provide, they become idols.Samson’s life shows what happens when our cravings begin to rule us, while Paul shows us a better way. Though he had many things he could boast in, he counted them as loss compared to the surpassing worth of knowing Christ.Created things were never meant to carry the weight of our souls. Christ is the greater treasure, and our confidence, satisfaction, and highest good must remain in him alone.What stood out to you from the sermon?Share in the comments.

  Samson's Craving And Delilah's Treachery | Samuel Oyeyinka | Judges 16:15-22 | Part Two 10.09.2026 1h 22min

  This sermon showed how our cravings for pleasure, acceptance, control, security, or significance can lead us to trust something other than God.These idols promise satisfaction, but they eventually demand more from us, drawing us into disobedience, causing us to use people, and weakening our ability to fulfil God’s purpose for our lives.Like the idols we worship, they make us worthless, taking from us our souls and the very things we need to live as God intended.Samson’s life shows the danger of confusing God’s gifts with God Himself. In the end, idols take far more than they ever promise to give.What stood out to you from the sermon? Share in the comments.

  To Live is Christ | Philippians| Philippians 1:18-26 | Seye Maj' 18.08.2026 56min

  “What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in that I rejoice.” — Philippians 1:18Paul rejoiced because Christ was being proclaimed, and because he trusted that through the prayers of the church and the help of the Spirit, his situation would turn out for his deliverance. This reminds us of the importance of a praying church.Yet Paul desired deliverance not simply for comfort, but so that Christ would be honoured in him. For him, “to live is Christ” meant that every additional day was another opportunity for fruitful labour in service to Christ.The same is true for every believer. Whatever our work or calling, we are called to live and labour for Christ.Can we confidently say, “To me, to live is Christ”?What stood out to you from the sermon? Share in the comments.
