What a merciful God!
Writing in the first chapter of his first letter, the Apostle Peter says of God's mercy to sinners,
"According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time."
These are profound and deep words, bearing the heart of God concerning the promise of a" living hope" that He has promised and fulfilled in Christ for all who will believe. The hope that Peter speaks of is deeper than merely the positive expectation of a desired outcome; it is a hope that is rooted in a promise that is sure and cannot be thwarted by anyone and anything outside of itself.
Jesus is the hope of the believer and all who are yet to come to faith can share in this hope if they believe. His resurrection, preceded by his life and death, was the unbreakable seal of this hope, guaranteeing that nothing can detail the eternal destiny of his children.
Listen and hear what hope we have received through the resurrection of Christ.

Why did Jesus perform the miracles He did? What was he trying to achieve when the gospel accounts tell of the compassion He had on the people when He fed thousands and healed multitudes of their infirmities. If Jesus objective in doing was not to merely meet a physical need, what else could He have been aiming at?
Jesus was trying to show not just His ability but His sufficiency. It was an expression of His deity; that He was able to meet these needs but more importantly, that He was God, their Lord. Jesus was underscoring His divinity. He is the bread of life and while He fed these thousands miraculously, His actual aim was to show that He was the true bread they needed; the bread that gives eternal life.
Deacon Martin Obono's sermon, predicated upon Jesus' disciples' stormy experience in Matthew 14:22-33, seeks to draw our hearts to the overarching aim of Jesus life and works on earth, to show that He Is Lord, not just over storms and life tough experiences, but over the hearts of men.

The salvation of God is not restricted to the nation of Israel. And even though it came through a Jewish lineage, it is a promise for all of God's creation and it is effective and efficient for what it achieves in the hearts of men, able to convict and draw men to a saving knowledge and experience of Christ the redeemer.
In Acts 28:28, the scriptures write:
"Therefore let it be known to you that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles; they will listen."
All people, throughout history and all over the world have received the privilege to believe and receive the salvation of Christ.
It is by this conviction that the Apostle Paul, bound in chains, entreated and proclaimed boldly before the Roman council, the redemptive story of the messiah and how all men ought to believe it.
In this sermon Kwaw Andam delved into several contexts in the scriptures that emphatically declare the preeminent power of Christ's salvation and how that it is able to save and restore all people to God.

When God made Adam and gave him charge over the rest of creation, He looked upon Him and pronounced that this significant task cannot be done by Adam alone, he needed a helper. God in his all-wise design, made all the creatures in twos, the man was to be no different if he must fulfill his mandate. A helper was made for the man so he can do what he cannot do alone. This is telling. It signifies how critical the role of the wife is in God's creation plan. Understanding this role through the lens of scripture is the only way to live and enjoy the full privilege of working alongside the man to fulfill God's intent for his creation.
The context of the wife's role as a helper is likened to the role of a military general who commits to defending the cause of his territory alongside his comrades, giving all of himself as though the entire victory depended on him. Such is the enormity and blessedness of the status of a wife that nothing worthwhile is achieved when she's restrained from her God given role.
Living as God has ordained is a powerful and transformative tool that brings order and beauty out of the family experience and by extension, all of creation.
As you listen to the concluding part of the Spirit Filled Wife series, you will see what it takes to for the man and wife to be an expression of God's beautiful design in marriage.

As a christian wife, what does submission to your husband look like?
Submission to her husband by a wife is a good thing and it is good for the woman. God has ordained it to be a good thing and this good thing is only understood and enjoyed when it is embraced and lived as God has designed it.
When we keep God's commands, we are actually operating according to our internal design as God had made us to be and that is why scriptures emphasize that His commandments are not burdensome.
The third part of this series sees Pastor Adeola expound on a few ways a christian wife should submit to her husband according to the will of God and what beauty that brings to both spouses and their home.

"Holding up to the truth is not always easy but it is always right."
We live in an age that has grown weary of the truth and and principles of God. Even in the church, there is a noticeable decline in our affinity to wholesome Godly living. Christlikeness is no longer as clear-cut as it should be. This is a real problem and we're not allowed to wade our way through it. It needs an outright measure to get ourselves back in line with how God has ordained that His children must live.
In his gracious way, God has not left these things to ambiguity. By his grace he has through his word and his Holy Spirit, made clear and attainable provision for how we must live for him.
This truth is what we must adhere to unflinchingly and it we must declare. There are no half measures or allowances for watering it down, especially as the culture evolves. Godliness is cast in stone; we are not allowed to modify it as it stands above all that we see or perceive.
In this sermon, we will learn how we must never relent in our bid to walk in Godliness as God has prescribed.
