The Danger of Deception Series

Pastor Kunlé concludes the Above and Beyond series by exploring the different types of givers and challenging us to look beyond how much we give to examine the heart and attitude behind our giving.

Pastor Kunlé, in the Above and Beyond series, shares a powerful and practical message on Stewarding My Finances, exploring the importance of managing our God-given resources with wisdom, diligence and faithfulness.Drawing from Proverbs 13:22 and Matthew 25:29, the message challenges us to grow our income, plan for our financial future and become faithful stewards of what God has already entrusted to us. Through biblical principles and personal experiences, Pastor Kunlé encourages us to develop healthy financial habits, build generational wealth and use our resources to bless others and advance God's Kingdom.

God either occupies first place in our lives or no place at all. Matthew 6:33 speaks of priorities.Pastor Kunlé begins a new series titled The Above and Beyond, kicking off with the first message, First Things First."How we view, pursue, and use what we possess reveals what we value, where we place our trust, and ultimately whom we serve"Where your treasure goes, your heart goes with it. Matthew 6:21 Who are you hounouring first?

Pastor Kunlé preaches on what it means to be all in and to trust in the Lord with all our hearts, leaning not on our own understanding.Poverbs 3:5 Our lack of trust can be revealed through our toil, what we withhold, and the areas in which we struggle to surrender to God. If there is even one area of our lives where we are doubting or fearful, it may reveal that we are not fully trusting Him. God moves when we come to the end of ourselves . All it takes is one area of our lives that we refuse to surrender to show that we are not truly all in. Being all in requires us to surrender everything to God, not just some things. The question is, are you all in?

Ishmael shares a powerful and reflective message on A Friend That Sticks Closer Than a Brother, exploring Proverbs 18:24 and the covenant friendship between David and Jonathan. Through their example, we see a love rooted in loyalty, sacrifice and commitment—even when that commitment comes at a cost.Drawing also from 1 Timothy 2:5, the message points us towards Jesus Christ, the mediator between God and mankind, whose covenant love brings us into relationship with God. We are challenged not only to receive this love, but to reflect it by being faithful, forgiving and committed to our brothers and sisters.Watch, be encouraged and challenged as we consider what it truly means to be our brother’s and sister’s keeper.

Pastor Kunlé shares a powerful message on “It Gets Tough at Times,” reminding us that hardship is something none of us are exempt from. Through the stories of Elijah and Paul, we explore how we can respond when life gets difficult and the dangers of isolation, pride and believing our struggles are unique.Drawing from John 15 and Isaiah 40, we are reminded that God can use difficult seasons to prune us, strengthen our faith and draw us closer to Him. His grace is sufficient, and when we wait on Him, He renews our strength.Watch, be encouraged and reminded that you are not alone, and God’s grace is sufficient for you.

We have come to the end of our 10 part Principles series, and Pastor Kunle concludes it with the principle of gratitude.Gratitude is rooted in reciprocity. In 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18, we are encouraged to:"Rejoice always, pray continually, and give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."Gratitude is not about being thankful only when things are going well, but about maintaining a gratitude in every season. This can be costly . As we trust God, we can be confident that He is working all things together for our good and for His purpose.

Week 9 of The Principle of the Ten Commandments series focuses on the Principle of Truth, shared by Adanna. Truth is more than telling the truth—it is becoming a person whose words can be trusted and whose life reflects God’s character. Drawing from Exodus 20:16: 'Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbour' and the example of Esther, Adanna encourages believers to reject dishonesty, overcome fear, and speak up when their voice is needed. This is a call to live boldly, consistently, and faithfully as a light in dark places.

Week 8 of The Principle of the Ten Commandments series focuses on the Principle of Trust, shared by Ishmael.Drawing from Exodus 20:15, “You shall not steal,” we learn that every sin against God reveals something about what we truly believe. Theft is not only the act of taking what does not belong to us; it also includes withholding what rightfully belongs to others and withholding from God what is His.At its core, theft is rooted in mistrust and pride.Malachi 3:9–10 highlights this principle.Their actions reflected a lack of trust in His provision and faithfulness. Yet God invited them to trust Him fully, promising to pour out His blessings as they walked in obedience.
