In this episode, we continue our journey through The Way of Faith in The Roman Road series. Here, Pastor Michael unfolds the story of God’s unbroken purpose throughout history—His-story—revealing that from creation to redemption, God has always been working to establish His kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.
Through the life of Abraham, we see what true faith looks like: trust in God’s character, obedience to His word, and confidence in His promise. Long before the law, before circumcision, Abraham was declared righteous because he believed God. His righteousness was not earned by works but received through faith—a faith that points us directly to Christ, the fulfillment of God’s eternal plan.
This message calls us to see faith not merely as a means to receive things from God, but as the way we live in relationship with Him. It is faith in Christ—the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world—that restores us to righteousness and empowers us to reign in life, establishing God’s kingdom wherever we are.
Listen and be reminded that God’s plan has never changed. He is still raising sons and daughters who live by faith, walk in righteousness, and reveal His kingdom on earth.
In this episode, we continue our journey through The Roman Road with a powerful teaching titled The Way of Faith (Romans 4:1–8). Here, we uncover the timeless truth that righteousness has never been earned by works, but received through faith—just as Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.
This episode invites us to look beyond performance and merit, into the heart of God’s grace. It reveals that faith is not a transaction but a trust, not an effort to reach God but a response to His invitation. Through the story of Abraham and David, we see that the way of faith is the only path to true justification, peace, and joy in God.
Listen, reflect, and let the Word reshape your understanding of what it truly means to live by faith—fully resting in the finished work of Christ and walking daily in the freedom His righteousness brings.
In this episode, Pastor Jesse continues the Vision Series with a timely and insightful message titled The Gospel, Gifts, and Governance. As we walk through this journey of renewal, we trust that God is granting us wisdom to shape One City Church according to His divine purpose.
This teaching marks the beginning of a meaningful exploration into Church Governance—revealing how the gospel, spiritual gifts, and leadership offices work together to build and strengthen the body of Christ. Pastor Jesse unpacks how every believer carries a grace and function designed to serve the whole, and how proper governance reflects God’s order, wisdom, and beauty within His Church.
You’re invited to be part of this journey of discovery—understanding not only God’s vision for the structure of His Church but also your unique role within it. Through this study, you’ll gain deeper insight into how the gospel shapes community, how gifts serve purpose, and how governance sustains renewal.
In this episode, Pastor Jesse opens the Vision Series with a profound message on Renewal. This teaching unfolds the heart of God’s vision for His people—to be continually renewed until our lives mirror His purpose, power, and presence in the earth.
In this powerful closing session of OneCon 2025, Pastor Jesse Dan-Yusuf casts a vision of ultimate renewal drawn from Revelation 21:1-8, where God declares, “Behold, I am making all things new.” This is where the full story comes together: the gospel doesn’t end with souls escaping to heaven, but with the New Jerusalem—a Garden City—descending from heaven to earth. This is Renaissance in its truest form: not man as the measure of all things, but Christ as Lord of all things, bringing human and cultural flourishing powered by the Spirit of God.
Pastor Jesse shows us that the story begins in a garden (Eden) and ends in a garden-city (the New Jerusalem)—creation restored, brokenness healed, and the eternal dwelling of God with His people. Every tear wiped away, death and sorrow no more, nations bringing their glory into the city, the tree of life for the healing of all peoples. But here’s the tension: while we are citizens of the city to come, Jeremiah 29 shows us how to live in this city now—“Seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the LORD on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.” This message reminds us that renewal is not just something we wait for; it has already begun in us through Christ. As new creations, we are called to live now in the light of what is to come—with awakened hearts (Revival), renewed minds (Reformation), and holy re:imagination (Renaissance)—embodying the hope of restoration in a world still being redeemed, from Abuja to the ends of the earth.
In this moving session of OneCon 2025, Pastor Eva Dan-Yusuf explores the story of Ruth to reveal God’s heart for generational renewal. From Naomi’s loss to Ruth’s loyalty, and from barrenness to the birth of Obed (King David’s grandfather), we see how God weaves redemption through ordinary people and faithful choices. Families are important to God, and He uses them as a vehicle to accomplish His grand plan. Renewal is not just personal—it’s generational. Through surrender, obedience, and steadfast love, we become conduits of God’s promise, carrying His purposes into the future. Just as Revival awakens hearts, Reformation renews minds, and Renaissance transforms culture, generational renewal ensures these transformations don’t end with us but flow forward to our children and our children’s children. This message reminds us that what begins as a seed of faith in one generation can become a harvest of renewal for many to come, fulfilling God’s promise to see everyone, everywhere becoming one with Him, from Abuja to the ends of the earth.
In this commissioning session, Pastor Jesse Dan-Yusuf brings us full circle back to Isaiah 6:8—“Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?”—and connects it to Jesus’ prayer in John 17:18: “As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.” After experiencing Revival (awakened hearts), Reformation (renewed minds), and witnessing God’s resurrection power over dry bones, we now face the critical question: Will we respond? This message challenges us with the reality that no one else is coming to be the answer to Jesus’ prayer for unity and renewal in our generation.
Like Isaiah, we must move from vision to commissioning, from encounter to mission. If not us, then who? If not now, then when? This is our moment to say, “Here am I, send me”—not just as individuals, but as a movement sent to see everyone, everywhere becoming one with God, from Abuja to the ends of the earth.
In this powerful session, Pastor Jesse Dan-Yusuf shares from Ezekiel 37 about God’s ability to bring life to what seems dead. Through the vision of the valley of dry bones, we see how God’s Spirit—the same Spirit who brings Revival to cold hearts and Reformation to darkened minds—also brings resurrection power to situations that appear hopeless. Bone connects to bone, sinews appear, flesh covers them, and finally the breath of God brings them to life as a mighty army. This message calls us to believe again in God’s power to breathe life into every dry place: our hearts, our churches, our cities, and our generation. The question echoes across the valley: “Can these bones live?” And God’s answer resounds: “I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live.“
In this session, Pastor Eva Dan-Yusuf explores how true transformation begins with a renewed mind. Using Romans 12 and Peter’s encounter in Acts 10, she explains that renewal happens when we let God redefine our thinking and challenge our assumptions. Just as Peter’s understanding of the Gentiles was changed, we too are invited to see from God’s perspective, think according to His truth, and align our hearts with His perfect will.
In this powerful session, Pastor Jesse Dan-Yusuf unpacks what it means when Scripture declares, “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” Building on the foundation of Session 1’s vision for renewal, this message explores the heart of personal transformation—Revival in its truest sense.
Renewal is not about behavior modification or trying harder to be good; it’s about heart transformation. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 5:17 and the promise of Ezekiel 36:26-27, Pastor Jesse shows how God replaces stony hearts with hearts that are tender, responsive, and aligned with His will. This is the work of the Holy Spirit—removing what is dead and implanting what is alive, changing us from the inside out.
This message calls us to yield fully to the work of the Holy Spirit, who doesn’t just convict us of sin but empowers us to live out God’s purposes. When revival touches our hearts, we don’t just believe differently—we become different. The new has come, and everything changes when we allow God to make us new creations in Christ.
In this opening session of OneCon 2025, Pastor Jesse Dan-Yusuf explores what’s wrong with the world and why humanity’s search for solutions—from ancient prophets and philosophers to modern thinkers—has always fallen short. Through Isaiah’s transformative encounter with God in the temple, we discover that true renewal begins with seeing God as He truly is.
This message unpacks why comprehensive renewal requires three movements working together: Revival (the awakening of hearts grown cold to God), Reformation (the recovery of biblical truth that realigns our beliefs and practices), and Renaissance (cultural flourishing and human creativity—but this time powered not by secular humanism, but by the outpouring of the Holy Spirit). When we grasp the full scope of the gospel—Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Restoration—we understand that God is making all things new: hearts transformed, minds renewed, and culture reshaped by kingdom values.
This is Renewal: personal, communal, and cultural transformation from Abuja to the ends of the earth.
The message challenges us to move beyond mere agreement with God’s vision and become participants in the answer to Jesus’ prayer: “that they may all be one.”
In this episode, we explore the Church in Laodicea, known as the Lukewarm Church. Though wealthy and self-sufficient, they were spiritually poor, blind, and naked. Jesus confronted their complacency, urging them to turn from pride and pursue true riches found in Him. He stood at the door, knocking, inviting them into renewed fellowship. This message calls us to examine our hearts, reject spiritual apathy, and rekindle a passionate, dependent relationship with Christ.
In this episode, we reflect on the Church in Philadelphia, known as the Loved Church. Though small and seemingly insignificant, it was deeply cherished by Christ for its faithfulness and obedience. Unlike Sardis, which had a reputation but lacked life, Philadelphia was alive in love and truth. Jesus commended them for keeping His word and encouraged them to hold fast amid trials. Their story reminds us that true strength is found not in size or status, but in steadfast devotion to God.
In this episode, we reflect on the sobering message to the Church in Sardis, a community with a strong reputation but lacking true spiritual life. Jesus calls them to wake up, strengthen what remains, and return to authentic faith. This teaching reminds us that appearance is not enough; genuine faith is marked by obedience and a heart aligned with God’s will. True life in Christ is found not in reputation, but in renewal by His Spirit.
In this episode, we explore the church in Thyatira, commended for their love, service, faith, and perseverance, yet rebuked for tolerating false teaching that led many astray. Like the church in Thyatira, we are reminded to guard our hearts and our communities from deception, holding fast to the truth of Christ with discernment and unwavering devotion.
In this teaching, we look at the church in Pergamum, praised for their loyalty to Jesus in the midst of a hostile culture. Yet, Jesus also confronts them for allowing compromise and false teaching to creep in.
This message is a timely reminder that faithfulness is not just about holding on under pressure but also about guarding the purity of our devotion to Christ and standing firm in truth.
In this episode, we unpack Jesus’ message to the church in Smyrna, a community praised for their faithfulness in the midst of suffering. Though poor in the eyes of the world, Jesus calls them rich, urging them to remain steadfast even through trials and persecution.
This conversation calls us to courageous endurance, reminding us that faith tested by fire is precious to God and leads to the promise of the victor’s crown of life.
We kick off our new series, SEVEN, exploring the letters to the churches in Revelation. In this first episode, we journey to Ephesus—an influential church celebrated for discernment and endurance, yet challenged for abandoning its first love.
Jesus calls them, and us, back to renewal through three movements: Remember, Repent, and Receive the Reward. This episode unpacks what it means to align truth with love, to return to devotion, and to walk again in the joy of His presence.
Tune in as we learn why it’s not enough to be known for what we stand against, but for what we truly love.
In this episode, we explore what it means to gather in prayer with kingdom priorities—aligning our desires with heaven’s values. We also take a practical look at prayer, learning how to seek God’s will above our own and make His purposes the center of our petitions.
In this first part of our series on prayer, we look closely at the kind of people Jesus said we should not be when we pray. These are those who perform for the applause of others or heap up empty words to impress God. Instead, prayer is a personal, intimate conversation with our Father. And when we pray “Your kingdom come,” we are inviting His reign of righteousness, peace, and joy to take root in our hearts, homes, and world.
