  • The Jesus Jehovah’s Witnesses Get Wrong

    The Jesus Jehovah’s Witnesses Get Wrong
    Jul 12 2026
    Who is Jesus? Jehovah’s Witnesses teach that Jesus is not Almighty God, that He previously existed as Michael the archangel, and that He was raised from the dead only as a spirit. But do those teachings agree with Scripture? In this message, we examine what the Bible says about the identity of Jesus Christ. Hebrews declares that the Son is superior to every angel. John teaches that all things were created through Him. Jesus receives worship, shares the Father’s glory, and identifies Himself with the divine name: “Before Abraham was born, I am.” Jesus is not “a god,” a created angel, or merely a perfect man. He is the eternal Son of God, worthy of honor, glory, praise, and worship. This message also equips Christians to speak truthfully and lovingly with Jehovah’s Witness friends, relatives, neighbors, and coworkers.

  • Walking and Talking with Jesus Everyday

    Walking and Talking with Jesus Everyday
    Jun 11 2026
    In this sermon, “Walking and Talking with Jesus Everyday,” Pastor Emmanuel Akognon reminds us that Jesus calls His people to be both salt and light in the world. From Matthew 5:13–16, we are challenged to see that Christian witness is not only about what we say, and it is not only about how we live. It is both. Our walking with Jesus gives power to our talking for Jesus. Pastor Emmanuel teaches that working with Jesus is better than merely working for Jesus. When we walk closely with Christ, our witness, service, evangelism, and discipleship begin to flow from a real relationship with Him.

  • A Call to Unity

    A Call to Unity
    May 24 2026
    Are you living a life worthy of your calling? In this powerful message from Ephesians 4:1–6, the message challenges us to make unity our first priority — before anything else. Too often we think the Christian life starts with a list of rules. But Paul says the very first thing he wants from us is unity. In this sermon, we explore what that actually looks like — the humility, gentleness, patience, and love it takes to walk together as one body. Whether you're struggling with a broken relationship, dealing with a difficult person, or wondering why the church fights so much, this message is for you. Paul reminds us: we share one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God — and that bond is stronger than anything that divides us.

  • Experiential Christianity

    Experiential Christianity
    Apr 26 2026
    What does it mean to experience God? In Ephesians 3:14–21, the Apostle Paul prays one of the most powerful prayers in Scripture. He does not simply pray that the church would know more information about God. He prays that they would be strengthened in their inner being, that Christ would dwell in their hearts through faith, that they would grasp the love of Christ, and that they would be filled with all the fullness of God. This sermon explores the difference between knowing about God and truly knowing God. Christianity is not less than truth, doctrine, study, and theology, but it is more than information. God wants His people to experience the reality of His presence, His love, and His power.
