"Your thinking controls your belief system and your belief system controls your world"-Pastor Chris Olugbenga
Thinking clearly can be a challenge for everyone at times, and it's even harder when you're feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and tired. The words you habitually use when you're thinking (and then expressing those thoughts) mold how you see the world. For example, people who habitually think (and speak and write) the word "hate" tend to find an ever-increasing number of things to hate.

Holidays like Father’s Day and Mother’s Day provide excellent opportunities to remember important principles and events, repent of personal failures, recalibrate toward the good and the right, and resolve to persevere toward righteousness. Father’s Day should remind us that God-fearing parents of all ages have been concerned that their children would walk in the truth.
We live in a crazy, mixed-up world that is often anything but godly. Christians need to be wise to the fact that our secular culture is trying to influence us and our children to reject God and live however we please. This ungodly, sinful desire is nothing new, but we need to discern these powerful influences.
Ever since our first parents disobeyed God, human societies have been corrupted with all kinds of sin in thought, word, deed, attitude, and affection. The generations leading up to God’s judgment in the Flood exhibited such gross defilement that God chose to judge the whole earth, sparing only righteous Noah and his household:
The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. . . .
Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight, and the earth was filled with violence. And God saw the earth, and behold, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth (Genesis 6:5, 11–12)

Everyone, at some point, struggles with their identity. It is important to know who you are, especially if you need guidance and purpose in your life. Who we are affects everything: what we do, what we say, how we feel about ourselves, how we deal with difficult times, and how we think about the future. As Christians, we have been born again and given a completely new identity, but that identity can only make a difference in our lives if we know about it.
Join Pastor Chris Olugbenga, every Sunday for a great time with the WORD of God by 11am
It was a fun time in the presence of God today with Pastor Chris & Pastor Koko Olugbenga sharing interesting and motivating insights on the "Mother's Day" Sunday.
The Bible emphasizes the critical role of women in the transmission of faith.Not only is motherhood vital in the Old Testament,2 Timothy 1:5 “I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well.”
Paul was talking about the mother of Timothy and his grandmother. He honors them for being the ones who gave Timothy a vision of what to believe. If Paul called out moms and grandmothers for meritorious conduct, we should too!
This Sunday, join Pastor Chris & Koko Olugbenga by 11:00am as they enlighten us on the "Roles and Responsibilities of a Mother and Values they bring to families".
The Discussion Series is an expository session where Pastor Chris invites other ministers and Christian professionals that are vast in the Word of God to share great wisdom and understanding on topics.
Stay tuned and enjoy the Lessons from the Book of Daniel-(Discussion Series 0.2) & Holy Communion Service
In Deuteronomy 8:1 -18, The Israelites learned some valuable spiritual lessons when God allowed them to endure plagues, uncertainty, and danger. Their hardships humbled them.
They learned that God would provide for their needs. When they were hungry, He gave them manna, during the plagues, He was their protector and healer, When they were thirsty, He gave them water from the rock. God taught them that, despite difficult times, He could bless them.
Finally, the Israelites learned that adversity is not a sign of abandonment. Moses reminded them that God had been leading throughout their 40 years in the wilderness.
When we encounter desperate times, we can look for the spiritual lessons embedded in our difficulties- lessons that can help us rely on the One who causes all things to work together for our good and for His glory.
God is infinitely greater than man, and in this sense, man could never give a blessing to God. So we say,... Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits...Psalm 103
