Jesus Christ, the Messiah - Elder Gaffar Hassam

In Matthew 26:62–64,

Jesus is asked directly whether He is the Christ, the Son of God. He answers and speaks of the Son of Man seated at God’s right hand and coming on the clouds of heaven.

The sermon followed that declaration through Scripture, showing how God’s promise of a Messiah runs from the Old Testament to the final victory still to come.

The promise begins in Genesis 3:15, where God speaks of the woman’s Seed who would defeat evil. God repeats the promise through Abraham: through him, all the families of the earth would be blessed. Matthew’s genealogy traces the generations from generations.

David spoke of the Messiah reigning at God’s right hand.
Isaiah foretold Immanuel, and a Branch from Jesse.
Micah named Bethlehem as the place from which the ruler would come.
Peter later recognised Jesus as that promised Messiah: “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
The sermon closed by looking ahead. Daniel saw the Son of Man receiving an everlasting kingdom.

Jesus’ words in Matthew 26 affirm that His reign and return are certain.

THE PATHWAY TO GREATNESS ✨

"Greatness is not achieved by chance. It is built through faith, preparation, obedience, and intimacy with God."

Today, Bishop Topi reminded reminded us that the pathway to greatness begins with putting God first, cultivating a heart that loves Him, and preparing ourselves spiritually, mentally, financially, and in character for what He has called us to.

We were also privileged to witness the beautiful moments of baby/child dedication and water baptism — celebrating new beginnings, covenant, commitment, and lives being entrusted into the Hands of God.

As we dedicate our children and witness believers take the step of baptism, we are reminded that God’s desire is for His people to walk in blessing, greatness, provision, peace, protection, victory, prosperity, healing, and divine purpose.

May we never stop preparing for what God has prepared for us.

Our pathway may require preparation, but our destination is greatness in God. 🙌🏾

Sunday 26 July 2026

Speaker: Rev. Elton Tirivokunze
Title: Church Growth by Marvelous Helpers

The growth of the church is not achieved by human effort alone but through the divine assistance of “marvelous helpers” who are sent by God. Drawing from scriptures across both Old and New Testaments, he highlighted how God raises helpers — spiritual and human — to strengthen His work and advance His kingdom.

Key Message:
• Church growth is a collective effort, which is sustained by God’s marvelous provision of helpers.
• Believers are called to recognize, honor, and partner with these helpers, while also being willing vessels.
• Ultimately, as Matthew 16:18 declares, it is Christ who builds His church, and the gates of hell cannot prevail against it.

This sermon challenges us, as the church to depend on God’s supernatural help, to value the diverse contributions of members, and to remain steadfast in building together under the leadership of Christ.

Leadership is the Foundation for Growth

Our Conference kicked off with a message by our esteemed guest preacher, Rev. Elton Tirivokunze which reminded us that lasting church growth doesn't happen by chance, but it begins with strong, Godly leadership.

Our level of growth is determined by our level of understanding. Such sustainable growth requires both the natural and the supernatural to work together.

This growth happens in various ways, such as:
- Growth in levels
- Growth in phases
- Growth in dimensions
- Growth in Realms

A church can never grow beyond the capacity of its leadership. That's why God calls leaders who:

• Value preparation
• Walk closely with Jesus
• Are filled with the Holy Spirit
• And have a mindset to serve and work diligently

Growth + preparation = sustainable growth

"I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. So, then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase." – 1 Corinthians 3:6-7

Thank you to everyone who joined us. May we continue to grow in Christ, strengthen our leadership, and build His Church on a firm foundation.

"Let Go of Yesterday, Lead Tomorrow"

On Sunday, 12 July, we were blessed with a word from Apostle Dr. Enoch Sitima, where we were reminded that our past does not define our future. Through God's unchanging Word, we are encouraged to let go of yesterday's disappointments, trust His Promises and to boldly step into the purpose He has prepared for us.

Much like Joshua, we are called to be courageous and move forward.
And like Peter, we are reminded that our past failures can become tomorrow's testimony when we obey God's voice.

May we embrace the abundant life that Christ has promised us and to lead tomorrow with faith, hope, and love.

Isaiah 43:18-19
"Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

Ephesians 1:19-23
“I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God’s right hand in the heavenly realms. Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also in the world to come. God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church. And the church is his body; it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with himself.”
