In the face of rampant religion in our day and age, we’re faced with the same predicament that faced the Israelites of old whom Amos addressed: will your religion save you from the judgment to come? This is what meets us in this passage in Amos where the people thought their religious practices justified them before God despite their wayward lifestyles. Pastor John Musyimi seeks to show us in this sermon that religious customs will not remove righteous condemnation!

As seen in our relations with other humans, reactions are usually triggered by occurrences that instigate them; either by they themselves, us as the recipients or outside occurrences. In the same semblance, this is what meets us in Amos 3 where God declares judgment over Israel because of their transgressions. A judgment that is warranted solely because of their heinous actions. Pastor John Musyimi in this sermon seeks to show us that God’s word of war against sinners is a warranted word!

We often feel the disappointment after people we’ve trusted fail us in one way or another. This is what meets us in this passage in Amos 2, where we see God’s people, Israel, failing to keep His covenant and ways, and in the end being punished for this. In this sermon, Pastor John Musyimi seeks to show us that profane practices by God’s people cheapen their special privilege as God’s people, a lesson we can learn in this day and age!

In this world where crime, injustice and egregious acts are committed every so often, it leaves us with a sense of wonder as to whether there will be retribution served in the cases where it isn’t. This yearning of justice is rooted deep in our souls, and in His mercies, God answers our deep questions in this portion in the book of Amos. As revealed in these Scriptures, Pastor John Musyimi in this sermon seeks to show us that irrevocable punishment is coming for inhumane people!

What we input in our minds and hearts automatically shapes what we output to the watching world. This is what meets us in this passage in Colossians 3 where we get to reflect on the impact of God’s word in our hearts, especially as we start off a new year. In this sermon, Pastor Chris Kiagiri admonishes us to let the indwelling word of Christ produce wise speech and grateful songs in our hearts!

As humans, and as Christians, we tend to, at times, have a skewed view of reality, where we do things in the wrong ways. This is very vivid as Christians where we tend to think that our faith is what gets things done, leaving God’s power to the oblivion. However, as revealed in this passage in Mark 16, this isn’t the case. Pastor John Musyimi in this sermon seeks to show us that the resurrection does not depend on Christians, but Christians depend on the resurrection.

In the frailties of mankind in the city of Jerusalem we meet an idyllic birth that changed its full cause. This birth was of great significance that even the angels burst forth into praise unto God. Luke 2 presents the events that surrounded Jesus’ birth, a birth that was divinely woven in the ordinary means of human life, that eventually brought extraordinary results. This is the whole message that surrounds the season of Christmas. Pastor John Musyimi in this sermon seeks to show us that the ordinary birth of Jesus contains an extraordinary cause to glorify God!

God orchestrates all events for the purposes of His own glory on the earth. This is what meets us in this passage in Mark 15 where upon Jesus’ crucifixion and death, an opportune moment arises for one, Joseph, who was specially prepared for such a moment as Jesus’ burial. This is a marker for many on the earth who by God’s divine providence plans out their lives for an ultimate end. Pastor John Musyimi in this sermon shows us that unique opportunities to serve Christ come to those for whom they have been prepared!

In this passage in Mark 15, we meet a horrid ordeal that Christ experienced, worse than anyone could experience or imagine. Herein, He is mocked and crucified among transgressors, an image that doesn’t befit the King of Kings. The prevailing question is will someone come to the rescue for Him, or will He descend from the cross to save Himself? Pastor John Musyimi, in this sermon, helps us see that no one saved Jesus so that everyone could be saved by Jesus!

In this dying world, we all have faced different difficult scenarios that make us long for a perfect reign from perfect leaders in a perfect world. For the believer, this longing is ultimately founded and assured on the promise Christ brings as He declares His kingdom. Pastor Dan Gachuki helps us see in this sermon that those who believe in Jesus Christ have the hope of eternal rest under the great King in His glorious kingdom.
