We wrap up our ANC Convention 2026 with a special word from our guest speaker Reverend Dr Jonathan Oloyede.

We wrap our theme with a word from Pastor Sackey who reminds us to carry a reservoir of praise, worship, and gratitude as we journey with Christ. Even through changing seasons, we can continue to sing, encourage others, and trust in God’s promises.

May our song always flow from a heart filled with the Spirit and bring glory to God.

Key Scriptures: Ephesians 5:18–20 | Colossians 3:16 | Matthew 12:35

This week, Tope Aiyere challenges us to keep growing in our journey with Christ. We are not called to remain spiritually stagnant, but to move from infancy to maturity, from knowledge to practice, and from good to great.

The ultimate goal is Christlikeness; continually becoming more like Jesus as we press forward in faith.

Key Scriptures: Hebrews 5:11–6:3 | Philippians 3:12–14 | Romans 8:29 | 2 Corinthians 3:18

This week, Pastor Emmanuel Mbakwe challenges us to examine the evidence of our spiritual growth. Our progress is seen not only in what we know, but in the condition of our hearts, our character, and the fruit we produce as we become more like Christ.

As we grow in our love for Jesus, the fruits of the Spirit should become increasingly evident in our lives.

Key Scriptures: Luke 2:52 | Philippians 2:5–11 | Galatians 5:22–26 | John 21:15–17

We continue our theme in August with a word from Elder Soji Oguntonade who challenges us to leave the comfort of the shore and pursue a deeper walk with Christ. Spiritual growth requires obedience, surrender, and a willingness to move beyond routine into authentic faith. Don't settle for staying where it's safe, dare to go deeper!

Key Scriptures: John 21:6 | 2 Corinthians 3:18 | Philippians 3:13–14 | Matthew 14:29–31

We wrap up July with a word from Pastor Edwin Bajomo who preaches on the topic of The Necessity for Spiritual Progress - we are reminded that the Christian life is a journey of continual growth. God calls every believer to move beyond spiritual stagnation, growing in Christlikeness through His Word, prayer, fellowship, and the power of the Holy Spirit.

Key Scriptures: Philippians 3:12–14 | 2 Peter 3:18 | 2 Corinthians 3:18

This week, Pastor Samuel Sampah reminds us that authentic Christianity is more than appearances, it is a life of genuine faith, obedience, and a growing relationship with Christ. As pilgrims, we are called to choose the narrow way, bear lasting fruit, and build our lives on the solid foundation of God's Word.

Key Scriptures: Matthew 7:13–27 | John 14:6 | Luke 8:17

This week, Pastor George Udoh reminds us that the Christian life is a continual journey of growth. God has not called us to remain comfortable or complacent, but to keep pressing toward higher ground through faith, prayer, and dependence on the Holy Spirit.

Be encouraged to lay aside every hindrance, fix your eyes on Christ, and keep moving forward—because the best is found as we press on.

Key Scriptures: Philippians 3:13–14 | Hebrews 12:1–2 | Colossians 3:1–2

We kick off July with a new theme 'Pilgrims Must Make Progress by Moving from Good to Great on the Journey to Authenticity'! In a sermon titled 'Beware the Spirit of Competition', Pastor Sackey reminds us that our Christian walk is a pilgrimage marked by spiritual growth and not comparison. As members of one body, we are called to pursue Christ, celebrate one another, and reject the spirit of competition that breeds division and pride.

Key Scriptures: Hebrews 11:13–16 | Philippians 3:12–14 | 1 Corinthians 12:12–26 | Romans 12:9–11

Pastor Abraham Sackey concludes our 'In Christ Jesus' preaching series by reminding us that our completeness is found in Christ alone. Because He is the fullness of God and the head over every principality and power, we lack nothing in Him. As we remain rooted in Christ and grounded in His Word, we can walk with confidence, authority, and thanksgiving.

Key Scriptures: Colossians 2:6–10 | 2 Peter 1:2–4 | Colossians 1:15–19
