Who's the Boss - Audio (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What if being a Christian changes not only what you believe on Sunday, but how you work on Monday? In Ephesians 6:5–9, Paul speaks directly to slaves and masters in the Roman world. The passage raises difficult questions about slavery, but it also reveals something powerful about work, leadership, integrity, and who ultimately has authority over us. In this message, Pastor Shola Akognon explores the historical context of slavery in the Bible and then asks three practical questions: How does a Ch
Honor Starts at Home - Audio (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What does it actually mean for children to honor their parents? And what responsibility has God given parents in raising their children? In Ephesians 6:1–4, Paul brings the gospel directly into the relationship between parents and children.

In Matthew 6:25–34, Jesus speaks directly to people facing real uncertainty and tells them, “Do not worry.” But that doesn't mean Christians never experience concern. The question is: What do we do with it? In this message, we look at what worry reveals about our trust, the difference between carrying our worries and casting them on God, and Jesus' command to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.
I Wanna Be Like God - Audio (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In “I Wanna Be Like God,” Pastor Shola Akognon teaches from Ephesians 5:1–21, where Paul calls believers to imitate God as dearly loved children. What does that actually look like in everyday life? Paul gives us three practical instructions: walk in love, walk in light, and walk in wisdom. Through the love of Christ, the transforming power of living as children of light, and the wisdom that recognizes our opportunities are limited, we learn that becoming more like God isn’t simply about trying h
