Lati Orukan Si Ajogun: Gbigba Ẹmi Ilawọ 

“Ẹ̀mí tí ẹ̀yin gbà kò sọ yín di ẹrú, kí ẹ lè tún padà wà láàyè nínú ìbẹ̀rù; kàkà bẹ́ẹ̀, ẹ̀mí tí ẹ ti gbà ni ó mú yín sọ́dọ̀ ọmọ.

Ṣigba visunnu mẹho lọ ko nọgbẹ̀ taidi mẹhe to gbonu de wẹ—yèdọ tọṣiọvi de.

A gbọdọ dojukọ otitọ aibalẹ: o ṣee ṣe lati wa ni ile Baba ati pe ko tun mọ ọkan Baba.

Paulu kọwe ninu Romu 8 pe a ko gba ẹmi isinru lati ṣubu pada sinu ibẹru, ṣugbọn Ẹmi isọdọmọ. Gbigba jẹ ọrọ ti o lagbara. Kii ṣe ipo oṣuwọn keji.

Maṣe yanju fun gbigbe bi ọmọ alainibaba ti ẹmi nigbati Baba rẹ ti pese aye silẹ ni tabili Rẹ. Iwọ kii ṣe igbala nikan lati nkan kan — o ti fipamọ si nkan kan: si jijẹ ọmọ, si ogún, si ibatan, ati si ilawọ.

Church on Sunday at Strodes College, Egham


 Prophetic word for students -

Our Sunday service starts at 11:00 a.m. and typically lasts about 90 minutes.

We start each service with lively worship with songs from around the world, followed by inspired Bible-based teaching. All our sermons are recorded and are available as a podcast after the service.

We have a monthly cycle of Sunday services, with our Communion Service being on the first Sunday of each month and an All-Age All-Nation Service on the second Sunday of each month. Our other Sunday services include Spirit-focused and teaching services.

We have consciously adopted being a blended church, that is, both for those online and face-to-face. You are welcome to join us on Livestream or via Facebook, Linkedin, YouTube, or X (Twitter), or you can catch up and watch the recordings later.
