Jose Rivera preaches from Mark 1–2 on removing religious lenses that distort how we see God, urging the church to embrace Jesus’ grace, preach the Word boldly, and practice faith that brings healing and forgiveness.

Bishop-elect Tomi Arayomi exposes the spirit of Leviathan as the hidden driving force behind modern 'exposure' culture and toxic leadership fallout.

“The heart of ours is desperately wicked, and it's deceitful above all things.”
A Father's Day Sunday service centered on the declaration 'I know the Bible is right,' calling the church to return to Scripture as the final authority, endure sound doctrine, and fathers to pass faith to the next generation. The sermon (2 Timothy 4:1–5) warns against cultural trends and unsound beliefs, issues an invitation to salvation, and includes testimonies, prayers, and practical church announcements.
“The heart is deceitful above all things.”
Pastor Shane teaches that seasons of shaking or 'sifting' are not proof of failure but are God’s process to remove what cannot go with you (the chaff) and reveal and strengthen what can (the wheat). Using Peter's denial and a contemporary testimony, he emphasizes that Jesus prays for our faith to survive the sifting, and gives practical steps—recognize lies, replace them with truth, engage community, pray and take thoughts captive. The sermon invites listeners to return to God, receive prayer, join community, and continue in faithful living (including generosity and evangelism).
