God designed our diversity so that we could serve in unity. In this powerful message, Pst. Markus uses real-life stories — from construction projects to community teamwork — to illustrate how each part of the body affects the whole.

When one part is missing, even something small, the entire body feels it. But when every part comes alive, the church moves with strength, beauty, and purpose.

Tune in to be reminded that your gift matters, your service matters, and together, we reflect Christ's body in motion.

Key Verse:

"All of you together are Christ's body, and each of you is a part of it." – 1 Corinthians 12:27 (NLT)

Highlights:

· How small actions make a big difference in God's church

· Why unity and diversity are both essential in serving

· Real stories that show the power of teamwork in faith

· A call to discover and invest your God-given gifts

This week, we explore what it truly means to be the Church — not just to attend it. The Church is a living, breathing organism, with Christ as the Head and every believer as a vital part.

From God's promise of "one heart" in Jeremiah and Ezekiel to Jesus' heartfelt prayer for unity in John 17, this message by Pst Kampamba calls us back to God's vision for His people: one body, one Spirit, one mission.

💡 Takeaway:

Unity isn't something we create — it's something God gives when His Spirit transforms heartst.

📖 Key Scriptures: Jeremiah 32:38–40, Ezekiel 11:19, John 17:20–23, 1 Corinthians 12:21–26, Ephesians 4:15–16

🕊️ Let's live as one — working together in love, honoring one another, and showing the world that we belong to Him.

In this week's episode, we reflect on Joel's prophecy and its powerful fulfillment in Acts 2, showing us how the Holy Spirit breathes life into God's people. From the dry ground of sin to the blossoming of spiritual renewal, we discover that the Church—God's new community—was never meant to live in its own strength. The Holy Spirit is not a bonus; He's the only way we live out our calling.

We learn:

· The significance of Joel's prophecy and how it shapes our understanding of the Church today.

· Why the outpouring of the Spirit is for all—regardless of age, gender, or background.

· What it means to be filled with the Spirit and how we can walk daily in His power.

• How every believer is part of Christ's body, empowered for mission and ministry.

🎯 What you'll learn in this episode:

• What Jesus meant when He said, "On this rock I will build my Church" (Matt 16:18)
• What the Church is—and what it's not
• Why we must be part of both the universal and local church
• Common metaphors of the Church: flock, bride, body, household
• How the church helps us grow, face life's problems, and prepare for God's work

📖 Featured Scriptures:

• Matthew 16:13-19
• Colossians 1:18
• Acts 20:28
• Revelation 19:7
• Hebrews 10:24-25

In the final message of our Ruth series, Faithful When Life Falls Apart, we reflect on how God was never absent in Naomi and Ruth's story. From despair to redemption, from Moab to Bethlehem, we see God weaving a plan that far exceeds personal restoration — it leads all the way to King David and ultimately, to Jesus Christ.

🔍 What You'll Hear:

• How obedience opens the door to blessing — for you and for others.
• Why God's providence even covers our past mistakes.
• What Ruth's story tells us about our place in God's bigger plan.
• A call to return to God, no matter how far you've wandered.

This story isn't just about Ruth, Naomi, or Boaz — it's about Jesus. And it includes you.

What does true redemption look like—and what does it cost?

In this powerful message from Ruth 4:1–12, we see Boaz model integrity and obedience in the face of personal cost, showing us a beautiful picture of Jesus Christ, our ultimate Redeemer. Boaz doesn't act out of self-interest, but out of love, faith, and submission to God's law. His actions mirror Christ's, who didn't bypass the cross, but obeyed the Father willingly to redeem us.

📖 Learn how God's redemption comes not just with love, but with obedience, sacrifice, and integrity.

📌 Key Themes:

This week's message dives into Ruth 4:1–12, where Boaz steps into the role of redeemer—not just with affection, but with integrity. While another man was first in line, he backed out when the cost became clear. Boaz, however, obeyed God and embraced the cost, reflecting the heart of Christ who joyfully obeyed the Father—even to the point of the cross.

You'll learn:

· What a "redeemer" really meant in the Old Testament

· Why redemption is always bound by the law—and why Jesus had to fulfill it

· How integrity, obedience, and sacrifice mark true godliness

· Why Boaz's obedience points directly to Christ's love for you

👉 Whether you're in a season of suffering, loss, or waiting, this message will strengthen your faith and remind you that Jesus, your Redeemer, acted with integrity to secure your inheritance.
