Believers Responsibility: Using our Gifts - Ps Ernest Okyere-Twum

April 26th, 2026 | 'Believers Responsibility: Using our Gifts' with Ps Ernest Okyere-Twum

This sermon on Ephesians 4:7-16 explains that every Christian is given a spiritual gift and clarifies the difference between natural talents and Spirit-given gifts. Ps Ernest gives brief overviews of several gifts and shows how God equips believers to minister to others.

The teaching emphasizes the purpose of gifts: to equip the saints for ministry, build up the body of Christ, produce maturity, stability, and love, and calls listeners to identify and use their gifts—whether visible or behind the scenes—for the growth and health of the church.

Believers Responsibility: Oneness - Deacon Ben Leung

April 19th, 2026 | 'Believers Responsibility: Oneness' with Deacon Ben Leung

This sermon explores Ephesians chapter 4, urging believers to "live a life worthy of the calling" they have received. It contrasts the blessings and power discussed earlier with the responsibilities believers must now carry—both individually and as a church.

Paul’s four relational attributes—humility, gentleness, patience, and bearing with one another—are presented as the measure of a worthy life, while the unity of the Spirit and the "seven ones" (one body, one Spirit, one hope; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all) ground the church’s mission. The sermon concludes with a call to protect unity through the bond of peace and to live out the gospel together in diversity.
