This episode continues the Ephesians series, exploring Ephesians 4:17–24 and the call to a renewed mind. Emphasis was made on renewal as a total transformation that changes how we live, think, and model Christ in daily life.

April 5th, 2026 | 'Alive with the Risen Lord' with Ps Ernest Okyere-Twum; Translator-Deacon Ben Leung

This message from Romans 6  talks about how Christ's resurrection connects with baptism, teaching that believers are dead to sin, given lasting hope, and made alive to God.

They call Christians to live out the resurrection by resisting sin, offering hope and influence to others, and invite non-believers to trust Jesus for forgiveness and new life.

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.

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.

April 12th, 2026 | 'Believers Blessing: God's Resources for His Plan' with Ps Ernest Okyere-Twum

We unpacks Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 3:14-21, showing how the Holy Spirit strengthens believers so Christ can dwell within them. As Christ is revealed in our lives, we grow rooted and grounded in God’s love, enabling the church to become a disciple-making, inter-generational, and multicultural community. The episode calls listeners to surrender to the Holy Spirit, seek God’s strength, and trust that God can do far more than we can imagine.
