Today, we explore the nature of God's committed love through the lens of eternal life, emphasizing that eternal life is not about a future destination in heaven or the afterlife but rather is the present reality of our intimate knowledge of God through Christ. The message challenges common misconceptions about eternal life and presents it as a present and settled reality for believers, rooted in God's intentional and committed love. 5 Takeaways: 1. GREAT LOVE: Love is defined as "an unselfish choice to be constantly committed and continually content in the one you choose to love." The Great love of God was paid at a “dear” price to save us from disaster and perishing. It cost the life of the beloved and only unique son, Christ. God's love is a deliberate, committed choice made before the foundation of the world. Scripture: Jeremiah 29:11, John 3:16 AMP 2. ETERNAL COMPANIONSHIP: The dear price of God’s great love was to bring us to spiritual completeness, progressive knowledge, and eternal fellowship with God in Christ. Believers have a guaranteed eternal fellowship with God through Christ's finished work. Scripture: 1 John 1:1-3, John 17:3 "Eternal companionship is not a product of effort. Is a reality in Christ." 3. HOPE-FILLED OUTCOME: Spiritual completeness is not achieved through religious works but is received as a gift in Christ. Eternal life is the hope-filled and hope-fulfilled outcome for the believer. We receive complete spiritual fulfillment in Christ as a present possession. Scripture: Ephesians 1:4-7, Romans 6:22-23 4. IN-CHRIST REALITY: Christ is our hope. Christ is Faith. Christ is the true God. Christ is Eternal Life. Eternal life is not an abstract concept; Christ himself is eternal life personified. Scripture: 1 John 5:20, John 1:1-3 5. ETERNAL GIFT: Eternal life is the eternal gift of God’s love and commitment to the believer expressed, fulfilled, and embodied in Christ. Scripture: John 17:3, 1 John 5:11-13, John 3:16 "Eternal life is not in the Bible; eternal life is in Christ. So you don't find eternal Life by scrolling through scripture. You find eternal Life by believing in Christ." Declarations: I am greatly loved by God my Father, I possess eternal life as God's free gift of committed love in Christ Jesus By belief, I enjoy the reality of Christ By belie,f I enjoy the reality of Faith and Truth By belie,f I enjoy the reality of Christ's eternal life, By belief in Christ, I recognize, I understand, and I know my Father I enjoy spiritual completeness and endless fellowship with God in Christ My hope is full and fulfilled in Christ

Today, we explore how Christ represents the tangible manifestation of God's love and plan for humanity, demonstrating how faith is not merely belief but the receiving of a person - Christ Himself. Through careful scriptural analysis, the speaker develops five key themes showing how God's love became tangible through Christ. 5 Takeaways: 1. The Tangible Plan: God's predetermined plan was for humanity to be adopted as His children through Christ Scripture: Jeremiah 29:11, Ephesians 1:3-5, Galatians 4:4-6 2. The Tangible Work: Christ is both the Word (Logos) and the Beginning (Arche), through whom all creation came into being. Christ, the beginning, who is also the word, did the work to come down as flesh to shed His blood and die for us. Scripture: Revelations 3:14, 19:11-13, Colossians 1:15-16 "Only the person in whom all was created could be the person in whom all was redeemed." 3. The Tangible Testimony: Christ's blood speaks better things than Abel's, providing an eternal testimony of mercy. The blood of Christ is our testimony. Scripture: Hebrews 12:22-24, Revelations 12:11, Colossians 2:13-15 "The blood of the Lamb is the word of our testimony." 4. The Tangible Faith: Faith is a person we receive and His finished work we embrace; that person is Christ. Christ is the substance of things hoped for; Christ is the evidence of things unseen. - Theme: Faith as receiving a person - Scripture: Hebrews 11:1-3, Romans 8:15-17 "Belief is something you do. Faith is someone you receive." 5. The Tangible Expression: God’s tangible love is expressed in Christ; Christ is the exact image and essential manifestation of the unseen God. Scripture: Colossians 1:15, Ephesians 1:9-11 "Christ is the tangibility of God's intention towards us." Declarations: I am forever transformed by God's tangible love in Christ I stand justified by the finished work of Christ I am blameless and beyond reproach in Christ I am a beneficiary of God's kind intentions in Christ I am spoken for in the testimony of Christ's blood I am sustained by Christ, the substance of hope I am loved with God's everlasting love through Christ I am made perfect through Christ's completed work I am completely embraced in God's eternal plan through Christ

Today, we explore the depth and tangibility of God's love through Christ, systematically explaining how Jesus serves as the complete answer to humanity's greatest needs while providing practical applications for believers to embrace and live in this love. 5 Takeaways:: 1. The Four-Dimensional Plan of God: God's plan for humanity is expressed in four dimensions: the Why (Love), the What (Eternal Life), the How (Salvation), and the Who (Christ). This comprehensive plan was established before the foundation of the world. Scripture References: Ephesians 1, Jeremiah 29:11 (AMPC) "The why of God towards us is love. God's intention, every move he made, every step he took, the reason why Christ was sacrificed, is love." 2. The Three-Fold Nature of Original Sin: The original sin created three distinct enemies through three relationships that were broken: sin against God (producing Sin as a being), sin against man (producing the Accuser), and sin against Earth (producing Death). Scripture References: Genesis 3, Genesis 4, Galatians 5 "Sin is not just an action, sin is a nature... sin is crouching at your door, it is its desire to master you, but you must have Mastery over it." 3. Christ as the Eternal Present One: Christ's presence throughout all of scripture as the "Angel of the Lord" demonstrates His eternal nature and His role as the faithful witness from the beginning. Scripture References: Revelation 3:14, Colossians 1, Hebrews 1 "He was there from the beginning. That's why Revelation can call him the trusted and the faithful witness." 4. The Five-Fold Fulfillment in Christ: Christ fulfilled five essential roles that humanity needed: the perfect sacrifice, the faithful high priest, the righteous judge, the loving king, and the ultimate prophet. 5. The Tangible Expression of God's Love: Christ is the physical manifestation and tangible expression of God's love, making abstract concepts of faith and love concrete through His life, death, and resurrection. Scripture References: Hebrews 11:1, Romans 8 "He is the substance of things hoped for; He is the evidence of things unseen." DECLARATIONS: I am transformed by the tangible love of God I am eternally loved by God through Christ I am eternally purchased by the blood of Christ I am eternally reconciled to God through Christ I am free from all condemnation in Christ I am redeemed from the curse of sin and death I am part of a royal priesthood and holy nation My life is a manifestation of God's finished work through Christ

Today's teaching explores the multi-faceted mystery of God's love as revealed through Christ, examining how God's eternal plan of salvation brings us into perfect union with Him. Through careful scriptural analysis, PO unpacks five key aspects of this "mysterious love," showing how God's plan has always been to bring humanity into intimate fellowship with Himself. Join us on a journey where we beautifully unravel how God's mysterious love transforms believers from mere spectators to full participants in the divine life through Christ, bringing them into perfect union with God Himself. 5 Takeaways: 1. Mysterious Destiny: God's predetermined plan was for believers to be claimed as His own, receiving an inheritance in Christ. Scripture: Ephesians 1:9-11, Jeremiah 29:11 "Your destiny is to be claimed by God as his own with inheritance; that's your destiny." 2. Mysterious Plan: The mystery of salvation, hidden for ages, is now fully disclosed through Christ's finished work. Scripture: Romans 16:25-26 "Christ is the fulfillment of everything that God's intention was towards us. And God's intention is love." 3. Mysterious Wisdom: In Christ, we receive God's wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:23-24, 30-31 "Christ is the power of God and Christ is the wisdom of God, that means to have Christ is to have God's power and God's wisdom dwelling within you." 4. Mysterious Gospel: The gospel is not just a message but a Person - Christ Himself dwelling in believers. Scripture: Colossians 1:25-27 "The message is a person and what he has done. Christ is the message, Christ is the gospel." 5. Mysterious Oneness: Believers are one with Christ, one in Christ as a body, and one with God in Christ. Scripture: John 17:20-23, Ephesians 3:14-19 Declarations: I have a wonderful Destiny. I am loved with an eternal, mysterious love by God I am claimed by God as His own with a glorious inheritance I have received God's immeasurable and unfathomable riches in Christ. I am a recipient of God's wisdom and power in Christ I am one with Christ and one with His body I am filled with all the fullness of God's divine presence in love I am rooted and grounded in God's perfect love in Christ

Today, we unpack the five fundamental realities of our identity in God's family, emphasizing how we are chosen, blameless, perpetually in His sight, encompassed in His love, and secured in Christ. Through scriptural exposition, we also establish our unshakeable position as God's beloved children. In all, this message powerfully articulates our five-fold position in God's family, moving from theological truth to practical identity declarations that reinforce our unshakeable place in God's eternal plan of love. Key Points: 1. CHOSEN: Intended and planned for as his own. God's choice of us wasn't reactive but proactive, established before time began as part of His eternal plan. Scripture: Ephesians 1:5, Jeremiah 29:11 "You are chosen. Intended and planned for as his own in love... You were loved before you could act." 2. BLAMELESS: Accepted, forgiven, and pleasing. Our blamelessness isn't earned through performance but received through Christ's finished work. Scripture: Romans 5:7-8, Ephesians 1:4 "You are blameless, accepted, forgiven, and pleasing to God... God's love for me is not based on my performance but on his unchanging nature." 3. IN HIS SIGHT: Seen and thought about. We are perpetually visible to God, never forgotten or overlooked in His eternal perspective. Scripture: 1 John 3:1-2, Jeremiah 29:11 "Let not the enemy lie to you that you are not seen by God... You are seen and thought about; you are not forgotten." 4. IN LOVE: Love is our testimony and our reality. God's love isn't just an action but His very nature, making it impossible for Him to relate to us outside of love. Scripture: 1 John 4:8-9, 16 "God is love. He is the originator of love, and it is an enduring attribute of his nature." 5. IN CHRIST: Locked up and inseparable. Our position in Christ is our permanent spiritual location, securing all promises and privileges of sonship. Scripture: Romans 8:38-39, Ephesians 1:3-5 "You are locked up and inseparable from God... This inseparable and unlimited love of God for us is expressed and located in Christ." Declarations: I am part of God's eternal plan, I am created with the purpose of a hope-filled future. Before time began, God lovingly chose me and planned my adoption into His family. I am no accident - I am the result of God's intentional and loving plan. My adoption into His family is God’s ancient, preordained, and carefully planned intention. God's purpose for me is clear - I am blameless, reconciled, and transformed in Christ, taking my place among His family. I am a dearly priced, purposefully beloved I am a permanently accepted child of God, destined to reflect His nature daily. God's love for me is not based on my performance but on His unchanging nature. Because love is God's nature, I cannot be separated from His love. Nothing in all creation can disconnect me from God's unlimited love for me; in Christ.

A profound teaching on the concept of "home" in Christ, exploring how believers are positioned in God's household through Christ's finished work. The message weaves together themes of identity, authority, and divine sonship, demonstrating how understanding our place in God's household transforms our Christian walk. We leave this message assured that have inherited both the name and nature of God through Christ, and this inheritance is freely given by grace and not earned through works.
Key Points:
1. HOME AS DIVINE DWELLING: Home is not just a location but a state of being in Christ, where believers have permanent residence in God's household. Hence, the sermon reframes the traditional interpretation of "many mansions," showing that it's about belonging to God's household rather than physical structures.Scripture References: John 14:1-3Concordance: "Oikia" (οἰκία) - properly residence/household, "Mone" (μονή) - dwelling place/abode"Home is a gift we received by faith. You don't work to get home; if you have to work to get home, then you are paying rent."
2. AUTHORITY IN THE NAME: Believers inherit a name above all names - the name of sonship - which carries divine authority. This name we received in Christ carries divine authority and positions us above all spiritual powers.Scripture References: Proverbs 18:10, Hebrews 1:3-4, John 20:17, Hebrews 1:4"The name above all names is son... you have received the highest name, for the highest authority, for the highest title, for the highest position....The name that you have received has set you on high; it has made you far above all evil, it has made you strong."
3. THE FULLNESS OF GOD: Believers are seated with Christ in heavenly places, filled to fullness with the fullness of God's presence. Therefore, as sons, we contain the complete fullness of God, leaving no room for anything less than His nature. Scripture References: John 17:3, Ephesians 3:14-21"If you are filled to fullness with the fullness of God, why are you looking at yourself as less?... If you are filled to fullness with the fullness of God, how can you be possessed? There's no space at home."
4. Faith and Grace as Persons: Faith and grace are not merely concepts but expressions of Christ Himself.Scripture References: Hebrews 11"Faith is not something you do; faith is a person you receive... Christ is the expression of God sent to make an impression in man that man may become the expression of God upon the Earth."
5. ETERNAL LIFE AS RELATIONSHIP: Eternal life is knowing God intimately. This teaching emphasized that Eternal life isn't just about heaven but about intimate knowledge of the Father through Christ.Scripture References: John 17:3"Eternal life is a knowledge of the father in the person of the son."
Declarations:I am at home in Christ, fully accepted and established in God's household.I am eternally loved, eternally forgiven, eternally reconciled with God.I am seated with Christ in heavenly places far above all powersI am superior to angels, seated at the right hand of MajestyI carry the name above all names as a son of God.I carry divine authority through the name I've inherited.I speak with the authority of my Father's nameI speak as a son because my Father is listening.I am eternally loved and dearly priced by GodI am filled to fullness with the fullness of God in love.I am the light of Christ to the world, a city set upon a hill.I live gloriously through the mind of Christ.I operate excellently in the wisdom of God.Nothing perishes, nothing is destroyed, nothing is lost in my life.I have received home by grace, through faith, and I am at rest by belief.

This pivotal teaching session examines the foundational elements of biblical doctrine (Latin: doctrina - teaching/learning), distinguishing authentic scriptural teaching from man-made religious traditions. Through careful exposition of both Old and New Testament principles, the teaching establishes how true doctrine must align with the entire counsel of Scripture while remaining centered on Christ's finished work, rather than human preferences or regional customs. This comprehensive exposition helps believers understand how to discern genuine biblical doctrine from cultural or personal additions to God's Word. Key Points: 1. The 7 Foundations of True Doctrine: - Must be prophesied in the Old Testament - Witnessed in Gospel accounts - Expounded in apostolic writings - Incorporates the whole counsel of God - Based on exegesis not eisigesis - Congruent with ecclesial and historical context - Rooted in the congruence, consistency, and coherence of all scripture found in Christ 2. The Three Essentials in Belief: - Scriptural Reference: John 3:16, John 17:3, 2 Corinthians 5:21, John 6:28-29 AMP - 3 things to believe: Believe in God's love. Believe in Christ's finished work. Believe in reconciliation with God. - 3 ways to believe: Trust in (The Love of the Father), Rely on (The Finished Work of the Son), Adhere to (The Leadership of the Holy Spirit) - 3 things the gospel must focus on: The love of the Father. The finished work of Christ. The intimate fellowship of the Holy Spirit. 3. Scripture's Complete Sufficiency: Scripture alone provides complete guidance for faith and practice. - Scriptural Reference: 2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:3-4 - Greek: θεόπνευστος (theopneustos) - All Scripture is God-breathed - Thoroughly equips for every good work - No need for extra-biblical additions "God's Word is enough. Be very careful of pastors, preachers, people in your ears who tell you that you have to go out of God's Word to add to find enough for yourself." 4. Freedom from Law-Based Religion: All true doctrine must center on Christ's person and work alone. - Scriptural Reference: 1 Timothy 1:3-11, Ephesians 2:8-10, 2 Corinthians 5:21 - Greek: "Christos" (anointed one) as central focus - Christ fulfilled Mosaic rituals - Law is not for the righteous - Greek: χάρις (charis) - Grace-based relationship vs. performance "The gospel is a person. The gospel is about a person and what he's done. Him we preach... If you have to add oil, if you have to add fasting, if you have to add powerful seed... that means the Son given or the finished work was not enough." 5. Universal Application of Doctrine: Authentic doctrine emphasizes grace over performance. - Scriptural Reference: Acts 20:25-30, 1 Corinthians 1:30-31 - Must be consistent across all believers - Not subject to regional/cultural modifications - Rooted in Christ's finished work "Doctrine cannot be tailored to fit regions of the world or classes of people. Doctrine must be universal across the ecclesia" Declaration: I stand firm in the sufficiency of God's Word for my life and godliness. I embrace the finished work of Christ as my complete salvation. I walk in the freedom of grace, not the bondage of religious performance. I receive my identity through Christ's completed work, not human tradition. I rest in God's love as the foundation of my relationship with Him. I reject extra-biblical additions to God's perfect Word. I live by the Spirit's leadership, not religious regulations. I embrace the universal truth of Scripture above cultural traditions. I stand complete in Christ's righteousness alone. I walk in the liberty of New Covenant grace. I affirm the supremacy of Christ above religious customs. I declare my freedom from performance-based religion through Christ's finished work.

This teaching explores the completeness of Christ's finished work, examining how the Old Testament points to Christ and why additional religious rituals or performances are unnecessary for believers. Through careful exposition of scripture, particularly focusing on Hebrews 8-9, the teaching demonstrates how Christ fulfills every role needed for our salvation and relationship with God. Finally, this teaching effectively dismantles religious performance while establishing the sufficiency of Christ's finished work, encouraging believers to rest in God's complete provision through Christ. Key Points: 1. The Completeness of Christ's Work: Christ is the complete fulfillment of every role or process attempted in the Old Testament. This means that Christ fulfilled every role needed for humanity's salvation - priest, sacrifice, judge, king, and prophet, making additional mediators unnecessary. Scripture: Hebrews 4:14-16, Hebrews 10:12-14, Romans 8:33-34, Revelations 19 "Everything we were looking for in the Old Testament, we now have it in Christ." 2. The Superiority of the New Covenant: The new covenant in Christ surpasses the old covenant's external regulations with an internal reality. Scripture: Hebrews 9:11-17, Revelations 21:3-4 "Why are we looking into the past for ritual washings, for ritual doings, for ritual actions when we have received a better covenant that does not need rituals?" 3. The Tabernacle Within Believers: Unlike the Old Testament physical tabernacle, believers are now God's dwelling place. The New Testament represents a better covenant where believers are the tabernacle of God through Christ's indwelling. Scripture: Revelations 21:3-4, Hebrews 9:11-17 "The tabernacle is in you. You don't have to look for in altars what you have received in Christ." 4. God's Intentional Love: God's love wasn't reckless but carefully calculated, counting the cost before creation. Scripture: John 3:16; John 17:3, Ephesians 1:3-6 "God counted the costs, knew it would cost him his son... and chose to pay it since before all time began. His love is intentional. It was not reckless." 5. Rest in Christ's Responsibility: Believers are called to rest in Christ's finished work rather than striving in religious performance. Religion is trying to work out what Christ has finished, paying the price to enjoy what grace already guarantees. Scripture: Philippians 2:13, Hebrews 4 "Any doctrine that takes you from resting in God; Any doctrine that is making the responsibility yours; Any doctrine that takes you from resting in the responsibility of Christ, is not the gospel."
Declarations: I choose to believe, decree, and declare that: God's Word is enough for me I am a recipient of the new covenant through Christ's death. Christ speaks for me, I have no more need for prophets or other middle men. Christ, my High Priest, mediates and represents me before God. God, my judge, brings no charge against me in Christ. I reign with Christ in oneness and love. I am an inheritor of God's promises through Christ. I am adopted as God's child in Christ. I am equipped through scripture with everything I need for life and godliness. God's Word is enough for me.
