9/10/2024
Mahubiri haya yanaangazia onyo la Mtume Paulo dhidi ya walimu wa uongo katika 2 Kor. 11.

2 PETER 2: The Centrality of Jesus in Christianity

7/31/2024
False teaching runs rampant in our culture. And it’s not a new problem—the apostle Peter warned the early church about the dangers of false teachers in his second letter, and his message is just as relevant today: for “because of them the way of the truth will be maligned; and in their greed they will exploit you with false words…” But it doesn’t have to be that way! The antidote for deception is discernment, and true biblical discernment focuses on Jesus first and foremost. In this message, Rodgers Atwebembeire urges us to guard our faith in Christ so we can grow in knowledge and grace—for when we do, we are sanctified, and God is glorified.

Jesus: The Final Revelation of God!

4/19/2024
In the Old Testament, God spoke to Adam, Noah, Moses and many others. He did this in many ways—such as parables, prophecy, dreams, visions and angelic visitations. Yet these revelations were never complete. But we no longer need to seek visions or go to prophets to know God. Why? Because as the book of Hebrews tells us, that was how God spoke long ago to our ancestors. The good news is that today He has spoken to us by His own Son, Jesus Christ, “the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature”—the very one who “upholds all things by the word of His power,” as Rodgers Atwebembeire explains.

Are We Sinners, Saints, or Gods?

1/30/2024
Three major movements have shaped how Ugandan Christians understand themselves: 1) The East African Revival emphasized that we are sinners. 2) Today’s hyper-grace movement emphasizes that we are saints. 3) Some Word-Faith teachers confidently say we are gods. Is there truth to any of these positions? A healthy Christian life depends on properly understanding the believer’s position before God. Rodgers Atwebembeire explains these movements—and brings sharp clarity from Scripture.

Why Arianism Matters Now: Jehovah’s Witnesses

12/15/2023
Many Christians are aware that the Jehovah’s Witness cult promotes heretical doctrines. But did you know that their aggressive denial of Jesus’ deity is nothing new? This teaching was first made popular in the fourth century AD by Arius of Alexandria, who claimed that “there was a time when the Son was not.” Danson Ottawa gives the biblical remedy for this deadly teaching. The article on which this message is based was first published by The Gospel Coalition Africa.

Danson Ottawa of ACFAR Kenya applies Jude 17–23 to our day, giving three clear exhortations on how to respond to the challenge of false teaching and deal compassionately with those who are harmed by it.
