What if everything you've been praying for has already been given to you — and all you need is eyes to see it?

In this powerful and faith-building message, Bishop Mark brings a word straight from Ephesians 1 and 2 Peter 1 that will shift your perspective and awaken your spirit. The message is simple but life-changing: God has already done it. The question is not whether He will bless you — the question is whether your eyes are open to see what He has already accomplished.

Bishop Mark Kariuki - Guest Speaker

In this message you will discover:

• Why what you HEAR matters more than what is said — one misquoted Scripture on national television led a young man to give his life to Jesus. God speaks to the individual, not the crowd.

• Why revelation is PROGRESSIVE — Paul prayed for the Ephesians that "the eyes of your understanding might be opened." They had been taught the Word. But there were still things they were not seeing.

• The difference between seeing what is around you and seeing what God sees — Elisha and his servant were in the same room, surrounded by enemy armies. The servant saw defeat. Elisha saw the host of the Lord's army. "Those who are for us are more than those who are against us."

• Why God's promises are PAST TENSE — "Blessed be God who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings." Healing is yours. Joy is yours. Victory is yours. It has already been given.

• The power of AGREEMENT and DECREE — a woman booked for surgery to remove gallstones agreed in prayer with her pastor. When surgeons opened her up, not one stone remained. That is what agreement in faith releases.

This is your season. Your miracle is looking for you. What God has opened, no devil, no government, no power can close.

Have you ever honestly asked yourself — "Who is the Church actually for?"

It's easy to assume the answer. But what if your definition of church has been quietly closing the door on the very people Jesus came for?

In this message, we go back to the earliest church — the church of Jerusalem in Acts 6 — where two groups of believers, the Grecian Jews and the Hebraic Jews, were clashing over culture, language, and who deserved to be cared for. A feeding program for widows had become a tool of exclusion. And if the apostles hadn't stepped in, a God-sized dream for that generation would have died in a room full of people who all believed in the same Jesus.

This message wrestles with two questions every believer and every church must face:

• What is the Church? — The word church comes from the Greek ekklesia — the called out ones. Called out of darkness, out of individualism, and into communitas. Not just community, but a Latin concept that means we are willing to suffer discomfort and inconvenience for the greater good of the whole. When people look at the Church, they should see Jesus.
• Who is the Church for? — The Church is for saints and for sinners en route to the cross. Jesus was called a friend of tax collectors and sinners — and He never once defended himself against that accusation. The question isn't how polished someone has to be to walk through the door. The question is whether we are unconsciously closing that door through our attitudes, our appetites, and our baggage.

We also look inward — at the cultural clashes, personal biases, and unexamined baggage we all carry into the room. Baggage rooted in education, ethnicity, background, and expectation. Baggage that can make broken people feel like they will never belong — without us even realizing we're sending that message.

The Church God is building is not for one kind of person. It's for all shapes, sizes, and stripes — people who have it together and people who don't yet. The word on the street should be: I'm welcome there, even though I don't have it all together.

Key Scriptures: Acts 6:1–7 | Matthew 11:18–19 | John 6:37

Have you ever stopped and honestly asked yourself — "Who am I becoming?"

Everyone is becoming someone. The question is whether your life is forming you intentionally or accidentally.

In this message, we take a close look at one of the most flawed, impulsive, and relatable figures in Scripture — Simon Peter. He rebuked Jesus. He swung a sword at an arrest. He denied Christ three times in front of a servant girl. And yet Jesus looked at this unstable, reactive fisherman and said, "You will be called Peter" — a rock.

That is the promise of spiritual growth. God sees who you can become before you do.

David D. Ireland, Ph.D. | Lead Pastor | Christ Church

This message asks three questions every believer must face:

• Who could you BECOME? — Spiritual growth is not merely changing behavior. It is becoming the person God created and called you to be. Jesus didn't see Peter's current condition. He declared Peter's future.

• Are you meeting Jesus DAILY? — The Sanhedrin looked at Peter and John and took note: "These men had been with Jesus." Peter's transformation wasn't from education or religion — it was from prolonged exposure to Christ. You become like whoever you consistently spend time with.

• Are you obeying God QUICKLY? — Mature faith obeys God even when the instructions don't immediately make sense. Spiritual growth becomes visible when obedience becomes faster than resistance.

We also look at the story of Immaculée Ilibagiza — a survivor of the 1994 Rwandan genocide — who spent 91 days hiding in a tiny bathroom while her family was murdered around her, and chose to forgive her enemies face to face. That is not just resilience. That is what spiritual growth looks like under the most extreme pressure.

Spiritual growth is becoming harder to shake, slower to react, quicker to heal, and stronger under pressure.
