The Power of the Cross

In today’s sermon, Apostle Alfred Williams begins a focused teaching series on the power of the cross—running through to Pentecost—because ignorance is one of the enemy’s strongest weapons against God’s people (Hosea 4:6). He confronts popular but destructive teachings that trade on fear (including “generational curses” and other sensational doctrines), insisting that true prosperity is not a money-hype scheme, but the work of Christ in a believer’s life. Apostle calls the church back to knowledge, maturity and biblical thinking—so believers stop seeking “power” from liars when salvation already carries divine power.This sermon is anchored in Colossians 1:13–14: God rescued us from the dominion (jurisdiction) of darkness, translated us into the kingdom of His Son, and granted redemption and forgiveness of sins. From there Apostle explains spiritual “jurisdiction” through Ephesians 2:1–6—we once lived under the ruler of the air, but God, rich in mercy, made us alive, raised us up, and seated us with Christ in heavenly places—meaning Satan has no legal authority over a born-again believer. This is reinforced further in Galatians 5:1 and John 8:36: Christ has already set us free, so submitting to fear-based “deliverance” doctrine is stepping back into bondage. Finally, he addresses the often-misquoted curses passage in Exodus 20:3–6, showing it applies to those who hate God, while God promises covenant mercy to a thousand generations of those who love Him. The sermon closes as a clear call to repentance and clean living: come to Jesus sincerely, reject darkness, stand firm in grace—and let the cross settle your identity once and for all: you are redeemed, you are free, and you are not under any curse

The Month of Transformation

Apostle Alfred Williams declares May as the Month of Transformation, anchoring the promise in 2 Corinthians 3:16–18: when anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is removed; where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty; and believers are transformed “from glory to glory”.Apostle then confronts a major spiritual misconception: the idea that a born-again believer still needs “deliverance”. With conviction, he declares that this teaching produces bondage, because Christ has already set the believer free—“If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed” (John 8:36), and “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free… stand firm” (Galatians 5:1). The sermon closes as a faith declaration for the new month: turn to the Lord, let every veil lift, refuse every yoke of bondage, and stand in the liberty Jesus purchased.

The Resurrection Power of Christ Pt2

In today’s sermon, Apostle Alfred Williams continues the post-resurrection reflection, reminding the church that Jesus remained on earth 40 days after rising before His ascension—just as key “40” moments mark Scripture (Moses, Elijah, and Jesus’ wilderness testing). He anchors the teaching in Acts 1:1–3, stressing that Jesus did before He taught, and that authentic Christianity must be seen in a transformed life, not merely spoken words (Matthew 7:21). From there, he highlights Christ’s final focus during those 40 days: the kingdom of God and the absolute necessity of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:4–5).Apostle then lands on Jesus’ final marching orders: “Go into all the world and preach the gospel” (Mark 16:15), because the Lord promises to accompany His witnesses with power (Mark 16:20). He emphasises that the "accompanying signs" Jesus promised is for ALL those who believe”: authority over demons, tongues, healing, and divine protection (Mark 16:17–18). Finally, the sermon lifts our eyes to the Church’s living hope: Jesus will return the same way He ascended (Acts 1:9–11).

The Resurrection Power of Christ

In today’s sermon, Apostle Alfred Williams proclaims, “He is risen!” and unpacks what Christ’s resurrection means for believers now. He draws from Revelation 22:12–17 to warn that going to church is not the same as going to heaven—only those who “wash their robes” and turn from sin will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, while persistent rebellion leaves people outside. He then points to the sure hope of the Church: Jesus will return in the same way He ascended (Acts 1:9–11), and prays that anything that could hinder your rapture-ready life would be broken off you. Moving into Matthew 28:1–6, he highlights the moment heaven intervened—an angel descended, an earthquake shook the ground, and the stone was rolled away and sat upon as a sign that no power could reverse God’s victory.Apostle then brings the message home with the believer’s inheritance: the same resurrection power has not disappeared—it now lives in every true Christian by the Holy Spirit. He anchors this in Colossians 1:13–14 (rescued from darkness and forgiven) and then declares the core promise: “If the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you… He will also give life to your mortal body” (Romans 8:11). He teaches that this power heals, restores, and produces authority—signs follow believers (Mark 16:17–18)—but the “rules of engagement” are clear: we must live by the Spirit, not by the sinful nature (Romans 8:1–14).

Jesus Seminar Day 3 - Good Friday - What the cross did for you

In today’s sermon, Apostle Alfred Williams continues the journey through the final days of Jesus Christ, reminding the church that Christ not only taught—He also did (Acts 1:1). From the parable of the vineyard labourers to the thief on the cross, he highlights the mercy of God: no one is beyond redemption, and eternal life is granted by choice and repentance, not by how long someone has “looked religious” (Luke 23:39–43). He also warns of the spiritual danger of unforgiveness, urging believers to release offences quickly—because unforgiveness harms the one who holds it and can rob a person of heaven’s rewards (Psalm 24:3–5).Apostle Alfred then lays out four things the cross did for us, anchoring them in Colossians: (1) The cross rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of God’s Son (Colossians 1:13–14). (2) The cross forgave us all our sins—fully and completely—making us alive with Christ (Colossians 2:13). (3) The cross cancelled every written code and regulation that stood against us, nailing it to the cross (Colossians 2:14). (4) The cross disarmed principalities and powers, making a public spectacle of them and triumphing over them (Colossians 2:15).

Jesus Seminar Day 2

In today’s sermon, Apostle Alfred Williams continues unpacking the final week of Jesus Christ, calling the church to become rooted believers who don’t merely read Scripture, but study it until the Word “dwells richly” within them. He returns to Jesus’ teaching on faith and authority—reminding us that if we truly believe, we can operate in the same spiritual confidence Christ modelled (Matthew 21:21–22; John 14:12–14). From there, he reinforces a simple but powerful Kingdom pattern: Ask, Seek, Knock—with heaven’s assurance that whoever asks receives, whoever seeks finds, and whoever knocks will have the door opened (Matthew 7:7–8). He illustrates this with the persistent widow (Luke 18:1–8) and charges believers to cultivate disciplined spiritual habits that produce real results—because the Word in your heart is your reference point for faith, prayer, and victory (Joshua 1:8).Apostle Alfred Williams then widens the lens to end-time readiness, urging the church not to be distracted by online predictions and date-setting, but to hold fast to Scripture and discernment—“watch out that you are not deceived” (Matthew 24:4; cf. Matthew 24:6–14). He teaches that trials, persecution, and global shaking must not produce panic, but maturity—Christians who can stand, share, serve, and still preach the gospel even under pressure (Matthew 24:13–14). He closes with a pastoral call to pray for illumination and steadfastness, echoing Paul’s prayer that God would encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word (2 Thessalonians 2:13–17). 

Jesus Seminar Day 1

In today’s sermon from the Jesus Seminar, Apostle Alfred Williams calls the church back to disciplined devotion—studying the Word daily and becoming doers, not just hearers. He charges every believer to take Scripture seriously as the key to clarity, success, and spiritual strength, anchoring this in Joshua 1:8: keeping the Word in your mouth, meditating on it, and doing it. Flowing from Palm Sunday’s theme (“Who is your rider?”), he moves into Jesus entering the temple and driving out merchandising, declaring that the house of God must remain a house of prayer—not a marketplace (Matthew 21:12–13). This sermon is a direct call to reverence God’s house, cultivate a real prayer life, and build a “Bethel” at home where God’s presence is welcomed daily.Apostle Alfred then highlights Jesus’ prayer habits—often withdrawing to lonely places, rising early while it was still dark, and at times praying all night before major decisions (Luke 5:16; Mark 1:35; Luke 6:12). He shows the fruit of that devotion: power flowing so strongly that people pressed in just to touch Jesus and were healed (Luke 6:18–19). Turning to the withered fig tree, he teaches that faith produces authority—not wishing, but speaking: if you believe and do not doubt, you can command mountains to move (Matthew 21:18–22). The sermon closes with a bold reminder of Jesus’ promise: “Whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing” and “You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it” (John 14:12–14; Matthew 7:7–8). This is your invitation to stop tolerating what God never authorised—pray, believe, speak, and watch the name of Jesus turn your faith into visible results.

Who Is Your Rider? Freedom in Christ & the Power of a Devoted Life

In today’s sermon, Apostle Alfred Williams teaches that Scripture is not merely history—it is God’s living manual for those who believe in Jesus, revealing both life after death and the only true hope for mankind (John 14:1–3). Turning to the opening of Passion Week, he draws a powerful picture from Jesus sending the disciples to untie the donkey and colt—“The Lord has need of it” (Matthew 21:1–3). Apostle Alfred explains that this is a spiritual portrait of salvation: without Christ, people can be “tied down” by sin, deception, and the ruler of the kingdom of the air (Ephesians 2:1–3), but Jesus comes to untie, redeem, and restore—because His purpose is not condemnation, but salvation (John 3:16–18).He then presses the central question of the sermon: who is your rider? Whatever governs your thoughts, appetites, and choices will determine your direction—and the enemy’s agenda is always to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). Apostle Alfred warns against subtle spiritual contamination through disobedience, compromise, and the influences people normalise, while calling believers to live consciously as God’s temple and to be led by the Spirit (Romans 12:1; Romans 8:1–2). The message closes with a clear invitation: Jesus requires no ritual or initiation—only a sincere surrender of heart. When Christ sets you free, you are free indeed (John 8:36), and you need not return to old chains or fear-based “deliverance” cycles. This sermon is a wake-up call and a lifeline: let Jesus untie you fully, let Him take the reins of your life, and watch freedom become your new normal—because the Lord still has need of you.

Devotion to God: The Secret to Operating in God's Divine Power

In today’s sermon, Apostle Alfred Williams teaches that the Lord has been training the church for the days ahead—preparing believers for revival, shaking, and global turbulence without fear. He explains that the love for God is the entrance into God’s power, and that the practical expression of that love is devotion: giving God priority, attention, and wholehearted commitment. Drawing from Jesus’ life, he shows that Christ operated in supernatural authority because He was utterly devoted to the Father—“the Son can do nothing by himself… I seek not to please myself but Him who sent me” (John 5:19, 30). This sermon is a direct call to stop living on the edge of church life—spectating, picking and choosing, or staying busy without applying the Word—and instead become the kind of believer upon whom God’s power can rest.Apostle Alfred Williams then makes the message deeply practical: devotion means consistent prayer, faithful gathering, disciplined Bible study, and refusing spiritual distractions and counterfeit voices. He warns that a time may come when believers cannot rely on “normal” routines, so devotion must become personal and rooted—at home, in prayer, and in the Word (Isaiah 2:2–3). He anchors the believer’s confidence in eternity and purpose, reading from 2 Corinthians 5:1–9: we live by faith, not by sight, and our aim is to please the Lord (2 Corinthians 5:7, 9). The sermon closes with a bold encouragement: heaven is not far, the Holy Spirit is a deposit within you, and devotion gives you access to God’s presence and authority—so don’t drift, don’t delay, and don’t do life by yourself… fall in love with Jesus until your faith becomes fearless and your life becomes unmistakably powerful.

Love Unlocks God's Power

In today’s sermon, Apostle Alfred Williams reminds the church that God has been speaking about 2026 since 31 December 2025 and continues to unfold both what is happening in the world and how believers should respond—without fear. He revisits the pattern of Jesus at the pool of Bethesda (John 5), where Christ moved by revelation—doing only what He saw the Father doing (John 5:19–20). The charge is clear: believers must stop chasing status and worldly priorities at the expense of intimacy with Jesus, because friendship with God brings clarity, protection, and direction in turbulent times. This sermon calls the house to rise into maturity—so that if leadership changes, the people of God still know how to stand in God’s counsel and receive instruction from heaven.Apostle Alfred Williams then turns to what he describes as the core barrier to divine power: a lack of love. Using John 14:21–23 and 1 John 2:1–6, he teaches that loving Jesus is proven by obedience, and that failure does not cancel God’s plan—Christ remains our advocate and atoning sacrifice when we repent (1 John 2:1–2). He then defines love biblically through 1 Corinthians 13:1–8—patient, kind, not proud, not self-seeking, not keeping records of wrongs—warning that spiritual gifts without love are empty, while genuine love produces spiritual depth, unity, and a life that looks like Jesus. This sermon is a summons to reset your love-life with God: seek Him, obey Him, forgive quickly, and walk clean—because when love becomes your lifestyle, fear loses its grip and God’s power starts to flow through you as naturally as breath.
