Sunday River @ Deeper w/ Yinka Okeleye, Sunmisola Agbebi, Deeper Worship & Pastor William McDowell

Deeper Fellowship ChurchNov 2024

A worship-centered Sunday service focused on reorienting perspective toward God's throne. Using Psalm 73 as the backbone, the pastor called believers to worship instead of worry, to view themselves as citizens of God's kingdom (not merely a nation), and to engage in spiritual disciplines—corporate prayer, a liquids-only fast for the nation ahead of Election Day, and unified intercession to frustrate the enemy. Practical church matters included an offering exhortation (giving as worship), a Home Improvement Fund appeal with dates and targets, baptism after service, and pastoral ministry for those battling depression.

“As Samuel grew old he appointed his sons to be judges... They were not like their father, for they were greedy for money. 'Give us a king to judge us like all the other nations have.' The Lord replied that by asking for a king they were rejecting him.”

Lakepointe ChurchMar 2026

A Live Free podcast episode that opens with church announcements and testimonies, then walks through two main teaching tracks: (1) Matthew 21—Jesus’ triumphal entry, the Good Samaritan connection, and how Christians should engage politics (avoid deifying or denying politics; practical watchouts and discipleship as a 24/7 vocation), and (2) an explanation of the Nephilim (Genesis 6): major interpretive options, problems with extra‑biblical sources like the Book of Enoch, and a pastoral caution against obsessive speculation.
