Through the second half of this year, we walk through the heart of 2 Corinthians, where the Apostle Paul shares his most personal and passionate reflections on ministry, suffering, and spiritual growth. It’s an inspired, real letter—showing that maturity doesn’t come through strength, but through grace in weakness.

From defending his apostleship to celebrating the glory of the New Covenant, we see how Paul calls us to embrace authentic Christian living: a life marked by suffering with purpose, reconciliation with love, generosity without pressure, and a hope rooted in eternal things.

In today's service, God’s word comes to us through Pastor Olumide from Light in the Darkness (LID) as he reflects with us on Romans 8, the climax for God's justification of his people after their unveiling to them the helplessness of their sins and the doctrine of justification by faith.

What will happen when Christ returns? In this episode, we consider J.I. Packer’s clear and hopeful summary of the Second Coming of Christ—a future, personal, visible, and triumphant return. This isn’t speculation—it’s certainty. Jesus will return to judge, to rescue, and to restore. Until then, we live in readiness, longing for the day when faith becomes sight.

What does it mean to die well? In this episode, J.I. Packer reminds us that mortality is not the end of the story. For believers, death is an enemy—but a defeated one, conquered by Christ. Packer encourages us to face death not with denial, but with hope, readiness, and confidence in the resurrection. To live wisely is to live in light of eternity.

What is the unpardonable sin—and should believers be afraid of committing it? In this episode, Packer defines this sin not as ordinary backsliding or doubt, but as a deliberate, persistent rejection of the Holy Spirit’s witness to Christ. We offer assurance to tender consciences and clarity about God’s mercy. If you fear you’ve committed this sin, that very concern may be the evidence you haven’t.

Can a true Christian fall away? In this episode, we explore Packer’s comforting and clarifying answer: God keeps His own. Perseverance is not about holding on tight—it’s about being held by God’s sovereign grace. True believers may stumble, struggle, and even wander, but they will not ultimately fall away. Why? Because the same God who saves also sustains—from first to last.

What is the role of government in God’s plan? In this episode, J.I. Packer explains how the state is ordained by God to preserve justice, punish evil, and promote order. While fallen and limited, civil authority is a legitimate and necessary institution. Christians are called to respect, pray for, and participate in public life—without confusing the kingdom of man with the kingdom of God.

How should Christians relate to the world? In this episode, we unpack J.I. Packer’s definition of “the world” as human society organized in rebellion against God. While we live in the world, we are not to be shaped by it. Packer challenges believers to maintain spiritual discernment, holiness, and mission—without either withdrawal or compromise. Christ calls us to faithfulness in a fallen system, with hope fixed on the world to come.

What role does the family play in God’s design? In this episode, we explore how J.I. Packer presents the family as a God-ordained unit for nurturing faith, character, and love. Parents are called to model godliness and teach their children the ways of the Lord—with patience, discipline, and joy. Far from being a private matter, the family is a spiritual community where faith is first passed down and lived out.

Is marriage more than a contract? In this episode, we look at J.I. Packer’s view of marriage as a covenant ordained by God—not just for companionship, but for mutual service, holiness, and as a reflection of Christ and the Church. Packer affirms the beauty and permanence of marriage while also offering theological grounding for love, leadership, and lifelong fidelity. It’s not just romance—it’s sacrificial, gospel-shaped commitment.
