Pastor Diran Adeleke kicked off a powerful new teaching series titled “Emmanuel, Emmanuel,” focusing on the uplifting message that ‘God is with us.’ Using the scriptures from Matthew 1:23 and Isaiah 7:14 as the foundation, Pastor Adeleke reminds us of the transformative power of God in our lives, especially during the months of June and July, which he describes as months of spiritual revival and personal transformation. It’s a time to revive and renew our connection with God. The sermon stresses the importance of personal relationship with God, perseverance through afflictions, and understanding one’s identity in Christ to make a meaningful impact. Pastor Adeleke encourages each of us to recognize our own potential and live confidently, assuring us that God sees us for the great purposes He has planned. Above all, the message is about being selfless and carrying a burden for others, emphasizing that those whom God uses for great works are those who think of others before themselves.
