  • Sola Gratia (By Grace Alone) | Reformation Series | Ezekiel 16:1-14 | Samuel Oyeyinka

    This sermon teaches that salvation is completely dependent on God's grace because man, in his fallen state, is incapable of achieving righteousness through his own efforts.

    From the Old Testament to the New Testament, Scripture consistently reveals God as the initiator of salvation. Salvation is God's undeserved gift, not something humanity can earn or merit.

    Sola Gratia removes human boasting and redirects our confidence from our own abilities to God's finished work. Although believers are called to obedience and good works, these are the results of God's work in them, not the basis of their salvation.

  • Samson's Craving And Delilah's Treachery | Samuel Oyeyinka | Isaiah 46 | Part Five

    Isaiah reminds us that nothing can be compared to God. Our jobs, money, possessions, relationships, and achievements may be good gifts, but they make terrible gods. God alone knows the end from the beginning, and because He has redeemed us for Himself, He alone deserves our complete trust, love, and devotion.Two common places where idolatry takes root are work and relationships. Work and money are means through which we glorify God and receive His provision, not the source of our joy. Likewise, people are instruments God may use to love and care for us, but they cannot bear the weight of being our security or our god.The answer to idolatry is to make God increasingly real to us through the means of grace—prayer, Scripture, communion, and fellowship with His people. As we see more clearly His worth, kindness, promises, and sufficiency, the things we once trusted begin to lose their power over us. Only God can satisfy the deepest longings for which we were made.What stood out to you from this sermon?

  • Samson's Craving And Delilah's Treachery | Samuel Oyeyinka | Hosea 2:1–13 | Part Four

    What happens when the things God gives us to enjoy become the very things we begin to live for?Yesterday’s sermon reminded us that God is not against enjoyment. He gives us good things like money, marriage, and work to enjoy. But we must understand the nature, purpose, and limits of these gifts. Marriage can bring delight, work can provide, and money can meet needs, but none of them can satisfy us like God. We pervert His gifts when we stop at them instead of allowing them to lead us back to the Giver.In Hosea, Israel forgot God’s provision. God had lavished her with silver and gold, yet what He provided was used for Baal. The same pattern appears with the golden calf. Israel took the worship God had taught them and redirected it toward the calf.God tells us how He is to be worshipped, and we cannot replace His way with what we prefer.Samson’s life shows what happens when our cravings begin to rule us. The problem is not enjoying God’s gifts, but expecting them to give us what only God can provide.From 2 Timothy 2:20–21, we were reminded that the material things we have do not determine our purpose or worth. The goal is not for clay to become gold, but for the vessel to be useful to the Master, prepared for every good work.Our worth, therefore, is not found in our station or estate in life, but in what God has made us for.What stood out to you from the sermon?
