Knowing God through Christ | Pastor Alice Kanema

In this powerful sermon, Pastor Alice unpacks the journey of truly knowing God through both Scripture and personal testimony. She begins by highlighting creation as undeniable evidence of a divine Creator, while stressing that it is only through the light of Christ that spiritual truth can be fully understood.

Pastor Alice draws a clear distinction between Jesus as a human name and Christ as the divine title of the Messiah, emphasizing that authentic intimacy with the Father is found only through the Son. She challenges believers to examine the evidence of their faith—spiritual fruit, transformed lives, forgiveness, and the power of the Holy Spirit.

The message concludes with a stirring call to repentance and revival, urging the Church to move beyond lukewarm faith and step into the “greater works” Jesus promised, empowered by the Holy Spirit.

The Light Has Come

This message emphasizes Jesus as the divine Light who brings life and truth into the world. He contrasts Jesus’ eternal, preeminent nature with the limited role of John the Baptist, warning against elevating human leaders above Christ. The sermon addresses two core struggles: mental darkness (inability to discern spiritual truth) and moral darkness (inability to do what is right). Jesus, fully God and fully man, shines into this darkness, exposing and overcoming it. The light of Christ cannot be extinguished, equaled, or escaped—it demands a response and brings division between those who embrace Him and those who reject Him. The call is to ensure Jesus holds first place in our lives and that His light distinguishes us from the world.

The Word Was God | Pastor Walker Schurz

Pastor Walker teaches on Christ’s eternal preexistence and preeminence from John 1:1–4. He emphasizes that Jesus is the eternal Word, fully God, through whom all things were created and for whom all things exist.

The sermon closes with an invitation to personally yield to Christ’s authority, rooted in passages from Colossians, Hebrews, and the Nicene Creed.

God is Longsuffering | Pastor Walker Schurz

In this message on 2 Peter 3, Pastor Walker addresses the certainty of Jesus Christ’s Second Coming and the hope it brings to every believer. He refutes the doubts of scoffers by reminding us that the same God who created the world and judged it in the days of Noah has also promised Christ’s return. God’s “delay” is not weakness but mercy—giving all people time to repent. Knowing how the story ends gives us confidence, peace, and a firm expectation of God’s justice and the new heaven and new earth to come. With everything in this world destined to pass away, Pastor Walker challenges us to pursue holiness, spiritual growth, and an eternal perspective.

Through the Knowledge of Him | Pastor Walker Schurz

From a Roman prison, the aging apostle Peter pens a final, urgent letter to Gentile believers in Asia Minor, knowing death is near simply “putting off this tent,” a relocation, not an end. With generational legacy burning in his heart, he reminds them that grace and peace multiply through intimate knowledge of God, who has already given everything needed for life and godliness. He charges them to diligently build on their faith: adding virtue, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, kindness, and love so they’ll never stumble in this life and enter the eternal kingdom abundantly, never forgetting the cleansing from their old sins.

Passing the Discouragement Test | Rev. Tony Cooke

In this uplifting message, Rev. Tony Cook reflects on decades of friendship with Pastor Walker and Haley before diving into a powerful teaching on overcoming discouragement. Centered on what he calls the “ultimate flex”—the resurrection—Rev. Cook draws from the lives of David and the Apostle Paul to show that even great heroes of faith faced deep distress and seasons of loneliness. With wisdom and warmth, he shares three biblical ways to rise above discouragement: strengthening yourself in the Lord, receiving supernatural strength from God, and being encouraged through others—highlighting Paul’s joy at the arrival of Titus. This episode is a timely reminder to not only seek encouragement, but to become an encourager who lifts others toward hope and victory.

The Blessing of the Third Generation | Pastor Walker Schurz

In this powerful sermon, Pastor Walker explores what it means to live generationally—passing down faith, blessing, and godly ways from one generation to the next. Drawing from Psalm 78 and other biblical examples, he reveals God’s design for multigenerational impact, known as the blessing of the third generation. Through stories like Abraham’s covenant journey and the wilderness rebellion, Pastor Walker shows how each generation must break ungodly patterns while continuing faithful ones. Using examples such as Moses and Joshua or Samson and the young lad, he emphasizes the importance of intergenerational partnership in fulfilling God’s purposes—both in families and within the church community at Miracle Life.

Hearts Turned | Pastor Walker Schurz

God’s plan is generational, His purposes flow from one generation to the next. When hearts between fathers and children turn away, faith fades. When they turn toward each other, blessing and purpose are restored. The enemy divides generations; God unites them. Like in Psalm 78 and Malachi 4, we’re called to reconnect, to tell, listen, and live so the next generation knows the Lord. Turn your heart, restore connection, and let God’s story continue through you.

Telling to the Generation to Come | Pastor Walker Schurz

Pastor Walker's sermon centers on the concept of "living generationally," emphasizing the importance of passing on spiritual knowledge and a godly lifestyle to subsequent generations. He first shares an update on the church's "connection groups" campaign, which resulted in a significant increase in weekly attendance, celebrating the growth and thanking the leaders and members for their dedication. He then transitions to a scriptural focus, primarily using Psalm 78, to argue that believers have a responsibility to teach God's word and their testimonies to their children and grandchildren, thereby avoiding the mistakes of past generations. The sermon stresses that living generationally extends beyond just having children, influencing all nieces, nephews, co-workers, and peers, and highlights that a Christian's life serves as a "letter" or living testimony that others read, urging the congregation to discard negative family traditions and embrace a purposeful, Christ-centered conduct.

Caring Beyond Just Words | Pastor Moffat Chembe

In this sermon, Pastor Mofffat focused on the theme of "caring beyond just words." The pastor begins with a prayer and then reads the biblical passage of Acts 20:7-12, which recounts the story of Eutychus falling to his death from a third-story window during Paul's lengthy sermon and subsequently being raised back to life. Pastor Moffat uses this narrative to structure his message around three main responsibilities: personal responsibility (the need to seek help and stay spiritually awake), other people's responsibility (the duty of believers to care for and look out for one another), and God's responsibility (God's commitment to bring life and deliverance without condemnation). The sermon emphasizes that talk is cheap and urges listeners to take action—by seeking help for personal struggles like addiction and debt, and by extending genuine, active care to fellow believers.

Showing Appreciation to People | Pastor Walker Schurz

Where are the Nine? | Pastor Walker Schurz

This sermon emphasizes the importance of practicing thankfulness in daily life, both to God and to other people. It draws on biblical examples, like the healing of ten lepers where only one returned to give thanks, to illustrate the significance of gratitude and the negative consequences of unthankfulness, such as becoming self-absorbed or exhibiting foolishness. The speaker highlights that entitlement can hinder thankfulness, contrasting it with the concept of receiving something unearned as a gift. Ultimately, the message encourages believers to cultivate a grateful heart by acknowledging God's goodness and works, finding a cure for ingratitude.

Case Closed | Pastor Maureen Shana

In this sermon, Pastor Maureen Shana emphasizes the critical importance of a personal and intimate relationship with God. She challenges the congregation to move beyond simply being "church members" to genuinely knowing Jesus for themselves, not just through hearsay or others' opinions. Drawing on biblical examples like Peter's confession and David's encounter with Goliath, Shana illustrates that true strength, purpose, and the ability to stand firm in faith come from this deep, personal knowledge of God, rather than relying on external validation or the actions of others. She urges listeners to study the Word continually, refuse to be spectators, and allow God's truth to define who they are, rather than worldly circumstances.

Trusting Our Father | Pastor Walker

The sermon centers on trusting God as our Heavenly Father, emphasizing His personal relationship and care for believers, as highlighted in Matthew 6 and 7. The speaker explains that Jesus teaches a new way of prayer, addressing God directly as "Our Father" and discouraging vain repetitions. The sermon further clarifies that God reveals His character progressively throughout scripture, culminating in Jesus Christ as the ultimate expression of the Father's nature. It also stresses that God provides for our daily needs, offers wisdom when asked, and disciplines us out of love to help us mature and share in His holiness.

God's Expectations | Pastor Walker Schurz

The message of 1 Kings centers on God's sovereignty and the conditional nature of His blessings, highlighting how obedience leads to blessing and disobedience results in judgment. The book traces Israel’s spiritual and political journey, showing how King Solomon’s early faithfulness brought peace and prosperity, but later idolatry and compromise, by both Solomon and successive kings, led to division and decline. Prophets like Elijah rise to call the nation back to God, emphasising covenant loyalty and repentance.

This message connects to the New Testament standard of living in several ways. First, Jesus fulfils the role of the true and faithful king that Israel lacked. Unlike Solomon, Christ remains wholly obedient to the Father (Matthew 12:42). Second, just as 1 Kings calls for wholehearted devotion, the New Testament urges believers to live by the Spirit, in personal holiness, and with undivided loyalty to Christ (Romans 12:1–2). Lastly, the prophetic call to repentance in 1 Kings echoes in the New Testament, where Jesus and the apostles call people to turn from sin and follow Him (Mark 1:15).

Thus, 1 Kings challenges both ancient and modern readers to prioritise faithfulness to God, an expectation carried forward and fulfilled through Christ in the New Testament, forming the foundation of Christian living.

The Ripples of Dysfunctional Leadership | Pastor Moffat Chembe

In this sermon we unpack how dysfunctional leadership leaves ripples across generations. From Rehoboam’s folly to Jeroboam’s idolatry, we see how pride and compromise replace God’s glory with cheap substitutes. This is a call to examine our lives and lead in a way that honors God and builds a righteous legacy.

The Rise and Fall of Solomon | Pastor Walker Schurz

Solomon began his reign humbly, seeking God’s wisdom and initially walking in His ways, but early compromises—such as political marriages—set the stage for disobedience. Despite building the temple and achieving unmatched wealth and wisdom, Solomon ignored God’s clear commands in Deuteronomy for kings: not multiplying wives, wealth, or horses from Egypt. His foreign marriages ultimately turned his heart toward idolatry, leading to God’s judgment and the eventual division of the kingdom. Continual obedience to God’s Word guards leaders from pride, compromise, and downfall.
