  • On Love and Knowledge That Puffs Up | LFC Part 16 | 1 Cor 8 | Sam Oyeyinka

    Learning From the Corinthians (Part 16) | 1 Cor. 8:1-3"Knowledge puffs up" is often wielded as a warning against intellectualism in Christianity. But is this statement true?Knowledge can lead to pride and a sense of superiority when it is incorrect or incomplete. True knowledge, however, humbles us as we become more aware of what we don't know.We can only worship God rightly when we know Him truly. That's why Scripture urges us to grow in our knowledge of God. To avoid falling into pride, our pursuit of knowledge must be motivated by love for God. Only then will our lives align with the truth of His Word.

  • Why we are Credobaptist in TEC

    In this Bible study, Samuel Oyeyinka explains why we hold to credobaptism in TEC, which is slightly different from what our catechism (Heidelberg Catechism, Question 74) prescribes.


    Samuel explains the importance and significance of baptism and why we hold to credobaptism, while we hold to the other tenets of the 3 forms of Unity.

  • Created for Good Works | Seye Maj'

    Created for Good Works | Eph. 2:1-10Before we were saved, we were spiritually dead. We were unresponsive to God and morally unable to do good works because we were alienated from His life.But God imparted spiritual life to us and made us a new creation through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This salvation was planned before the foundation of the world, when God chose us in Christ (Eph 1:4-5). We did nothing to merit it.God elected, regenerated, justified, and adopted us — not just for the sake of it, but so that we could walk in good works. We were saved unto holiness and blamelessness before Him.Reflecting on our salvation should spur us to praise and thank God for orchestrating our salvation from beginning to end. But it should also lead us to pursue godliness in everyday life — because that’s what we were saved for.

  • On Our Purpose and Estates | LFC Part 15 | 1 Cor 7 | Sam Oyeyinka

    Learning From the Corinthians Pt. 15 | 1 Corinthians 7:17-40God doesn't only call us into ministry—He also calls us into estates. This means He sovereignly orchestrates the unique circumstances of our lives, such as our nationality, family background, socioeconomic status, and natural abilities (Acts 17:26).What does this mean for us Christians today?1) We shouldn't be preoccupied with changing or escaping our estates, as if that's the goal of life. Instead, we should seek to fulfill God's purpose for our lives by doing His will within the circumstances He has assigned to us. 2) Our estates—especially favourable ones—are not the essence of our life. They are temporal conditions that will eventually pass away. Christ is our life, so we should live with eternity in view as pilgrims in this world. This principle reshapes how we view marriage and singleness: marriage is not a superior estate that will complete us, and singleness is not an inferior estate to be escaped.Wherever we are, whatever we have, let's pursue the will of God for our lives.
