In this week’s sermon, Pastor Diran Adeleke taught us about “The Joy of Salvation.” Drawing from Matthew 13:44-45, he compared the Kingdom of Heaven to a hidden treasure and a valuable pearl. These scriptures remind us that salvation is priceless and worth everything we have, like a precious investment. Pastor Diran emphasized that our salvation was bought at a great cost, with God giving His only Son for us. This salvation brings joy everywhere, from the announcement of Jesus’ birth to the prodigal son’s return, highlighting that joy is constant, unlike happiness which can change. He encouraged us to anchor our lives on this joy that comes from being saved. Remember, being saved is not just a blessing; it’s an opportunity for joy to flourish in our lives.
