Are we wasting our time?

That is the question Paul confronts in 1 Corinthians 15. If Jesus did not rise from the dead, then our faith is empty, our hope is gone, and Christianity collapses. But if Christ is risen… everything changes.

In this message, Pastor Mike Matumaini explores the power of the resurrection and why it is the most important decision you will ever make.

Because if Christ is alive:

- Your faith is not in vain

- Your fear is defeated

- Your future is secure

There are moments in life when everything else fails: your health, your relationships, your finances. In those moments, faith is all you have left. The resurrection is the proof that your faith is not misplaced.

The cross forgives your past. The resurrection secures your future.

The question is not whether Jesus existed. The question is: Is He alive? You cannot stay neutral. You either believe it or reject it.

What do you believe about Jesus?

Many of the battles we face in life are not just physical; they are spiritual. In the Bible, when Elisha’s servant saw the enemy army surrounding them, he panicked. But Elisha saw something different: the armies of heaven surrounding the enemy. The battle had not changed, but their vision had.

The same was true for David and Goliath. David did not win because of his skills; he won because of what he could see. He understood that he was not fighting alone; he was coming in the name of the Lord of Armies, Jehovah Sabaoth.

Victory in life is not just about strength; it is about sight. When you see God correctly, you face life differently.

In this message, Pastor Christelle Matumaini shares how to WIN spiritual battles:

W - Worship: When you magnify God, your battle shrinks.

I - Intercede: When you pray for others, you move from victim to vessel.

N - Now: Faith acts now, not later.

The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is already fighting for you. Those who are with you are more than those who are against you. The battle is not yours. The battle belongs to the Lord.

What do you do when people misunderstand you, accuse you, or damage your reputation?

In this message, Pastor Mike Matumaini explores the story of Joseph and what it teaches us about integrity, false accusations, and trusting God to defend your name.

The prison was not the final chapter of Joseph’s story.

This message will encourage you to stop trying to manage people’s opinions and instead focus on guarding your heart and living with integrity before God.

If you have ever been misunderstood, misrepresented, or falsely accused, this message will remind you that God sees the truth and writes the final chapter of your story.

You can’t control perception, but you can control your character. And when the time is right, God will defend your name. #Joseph #mikeandchristelle #BibleTeaching

What is the true test of spiritual maturity? In this message, Pastor Mike Matumaini explores why consecration is at the heart of Christian growth. Many believers focus on morality, avoiding sin and trying to live a good life, but biblical consecration goes deeper. It is not only separation from sin, but devotion and connection to Jesus Christ.

The Bible reveals that intimacy with God requires consecration. Just as marriage involves leaving all others and cleaving to one, the Christian life calls us to belong fully to Christ.

When our hearts are divided between the flesh, the world, and the Holy Spirit, there is a battle for control over our lives.

This sermon explores:

The difference between morality and consecration

Why what you love will ultimately rule your life

How the flesh, the world, and the devil compete for our affection

Why God works through what is consecrated to Him

How some believers are separated from sin but not yet surrendered to God

Why true maturity comes from leaving all others and cleaving to Christ

You will also hear powerful illustrations.

If you desire to grow deeper in your faith and walk closely with Jesus, this message will challenge and encourage you to examine the level of consecration in your life.

Our prayer is that this message will help you grow in spiritual maturity, holiness, and devotion to Christ. #consecration #mikeandchristelle #spiritualmaturity

Have you ever prayed… and felt nothing? Ever believed God was with you, until life fell apart?

What if I told you the moment you thought God was most absent… Was the moment He was closest? Stay with me. This message might change how you see your current season.

In one of the most powerful moments recorded in the Gospel of Luke 24:13-32, two discouraged followers of Jesus walked away from everything they believed in, only to discover that Jesus had been walking with them the whole time.

Sometimes pain clouds our vision. Sometimes disappointment blinds us to what God is doing. But what if He is closer than you think?

God doesn’t always show us the whole path; He gives enough light for the next step. What do you do when you don’t know what to do? What signs has God been using to get your attention? What step of faith have you been delaying because you want more certainty?

In this message, Pastor Mike Matumaini explores the story of the Magi and reveals a powerful truth: faith responds to conviction, not certainty.

You’ll discover: Why God often gives direction progressively

How to move forward when clarity feels incomplete

Why uncertainty doesn’t mean God is distant

How God meets us in the movement, not just at the destination

If you’re waiting for all the answers before obeying, this message will encourage you to trust the light God has already given and take the next step. #followthestar #mikeandchristelle #christmasmessage Subscribe to our Podcast, Our YouTube Chanel, https://www.youtube.com/@MikeandChristelle and Connect With Us on Socials: https://www.facebook.com/mikeandchristelle/ https://www.instagram.com/mikeandchristelle/
