We are in Week 2 of our Bible engagement series through the Gospel of Matthew. In Matthew 4:1–11, Pastor Chris Padiath walks us through Jesus' temptation in the wilderness and reveals how spiritual warfare truly works. This message exposes the enemy's tactics—temptation, testing, and trading—and shows us how Jesus overcame not by force, but by being Spirit-filled, Scripture-grounded, and unwavering in worship. This sermon equips believers to stand firm, fight in God's strength, and walk in victory.

Through the Gospel of Matthew, we will trace the life and ministry of Jesus—the One whose name carries power, purpose, and authority. Each week reveals more of His mission: affirmed by the Father, sent to heal and teach, calling us to follow with courage and conviction. We will see what it means to live as citizens of His Kingdom. Join us as we rediscover Jesus, the very foundation of our faith and future.Series: Gospel of Matthew | Date: February 1st 2026

As we await Christ's return, we are called to stand firm, remain immovable in truth, and give ourselves fully to the work of the Lord—because our labour in Him is never in vain.Series: After Life | Date: January 25th 2026
