Sermons by Rev. Musa Daba
Week 1: Packing Light
This sermon emphasizes the importance of surrendering burdens and traveling light on our spiritual journey with Christ. Using the metaphor of packing for a road trip, the pastor illustrates how believers often weigh themselves down with past sins, guilt, anxieties about the future, unforgiveness, and even good things that become entanglements. The message calls Christians to cast off everything that hinders their walk with God and to trust completely in Jesus, who has already carried our burdens to the cross.…
The Route is Recalculated: The Ultimate Journey of Jesus
Before we pack our bags for the summer, we have to look at the Map Maker. This Sunday, May 31st, we are launching our summer focus by tracing the grandest road trip in human history: the journey of Jesus. From ancient prophecies to a dusty manger, from a rugged cross to an empty tomb, and ultimately to His ascension and the sending of the Holy Spirit—Jesus traveled heaven and earth to reach us. Join us this week as we discover…
Power and Presence of Jesus
This sermon explores the often-overlooked doctrine of Christ’s ascension, emphasizing its essential role in Christian theology. The ascension is presented not merely as Jesus’s departure but as His coronation—His placement at the right hand of God the Father in a position of supreme authority. Through the ascension, Jesus becomes omnipresent through the Holy Spirit, dwelling within believers while interceding for them in heaven. The sermon highlights three crucial roles of the ascended Christ: He serves as our advocate and high…
The Mother of the Upper Room
This Mother’s Day sermon explores the extraordinary life of Mary, the mother of Jesus, focusing on her journey from being a young virgin chosen to bear the Messiah to becoming a faithful disciple in the upper room. The sermon emphasizes the paradox Mary lived—raising a child while worshiping Him as God, experiencing both profound joy and piercing sorrow. Through Mary’s example, we see a model of surrender, obedience, and faith that points others to Jesus rather than to herself. Her…
From Doubt to Worship
Behind locked doors, in a room filled with fear and uncertainty, Jesus came and stood among His disciples and everything changed. Thomas, the honest skeptic, demanded proof. Jesus responded by offering His scars. This message reflected on the powerful moment when doubt met the risen Christ face to face. In Jesus’ wounds, we see the undeniable evidence of the finished work of the cross; the full payment for sin and the foundation of our faith. Thomas’s journey reminds us that…
We Had Hoped
This Sunday, we stepped into one of the most honest and human moments in Scripture; when hope feels lost and expectations fall apart. On the road to Emmaus, two disciples walk away from Jerusalem carrying disappointment, confusion, and the weight of “we had hoped.” In this message from Luke 24, we explored how Jesus meets us in those very places, when our faith feels shaken and our vision feels unclear. Though they didn’t recognize Him at first, He was walking…
Communion of The Saints: A Word on Christian Fellowship.
Pastor Musa Daba led us through Acts 2:42–47, calling us to see the early Church not simply as a moment in history, but as a living pattern for our lives today. The devotion of the primitive Church—to the apostles’ teaching, fellowship, the breaking of bread, and prayer—reveals a Spirit-formed rhythm meant to shape our own walk with God. This message reminded us that true Christian fellowship is far more than a social habit or tradition. It is a means of…
Come, See The Place Where The Lord Lay.
In Matthew 28:1–10, the angel’s invitation to the women at the tomb was not meant to stay in that moment, it echoes through time and reaches us today. “Come and see” is more than a simple request; it is an invitation to witness the undeniable evidence of Christ’s victory over death. The empty tomb stands as a powerful testimony of His love; love that went to the cross, bore our sin, and rose in triumph. But the invitation doesn’t stop…
The Cross Road – Where Hosanna Meets Hallelujah
The same crowd that shouted “Hosanna!” in Matthew 21 was unknowingly quoting a song of sacrifice.In Psalm 118:27, the psalmist calls us to “join in the festal procession up to the horns of the altar.” On the first Palm Sunday, the procession didn’t end at a palace—it ended at the Cross. Jesus didn’t come to conquer Rome; He came to conquer sin.Today, we don’t just wave branches for a King; we surrender to the Savior who became the “rejected cornerstone”…
Rhythms of Grace
Acts 2:38-47 38 Peter replied, “Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 This promise is to you, to your children, and to those far away[a]—all who have been called by the Lord our God.” 40 Then Peter continued preaching for a long time, strongly urging all his listeners, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation!”…
