In this Christmas teaching, Pastor Leonard Rola proclaims the true meaning of “Joy to the World” by unfolding the angelic announcement of Jesus’ birth as good news of great joy for all people. He explains that God’s message has always been rooted in love, peace, and reconciliation, not wrath or separation. Through Christ, the sin issue has been fully dealt with, restoring humanity to oneness with God. This sermon celebrates Jesus as Savior, Deliverer, and the ultimate expression of God’s never-ending love for the world.
In this teaching, Pastors Leonard and Lori Rola explain how true faith flows and how it is not something people must work up, grow, or force. Using Mary’s encounter with the angel Gabriel, they show that faith comes only after God speaks His word. Faith is birthed through hearing the living word of Christ, not through self-effort or mental determination. This message frees believers from guilt, shame, and condemnation around faith and points them back to resting in God’s voice.
In this teaching, Pastors Leonard and Lori Rola focus on what it truly means to be “highly favored” by God. Using Mary’s encounter with the angel Gabriel, they explain that favor is not merely grace, but a special honor bestowed by God. Through Scripture, they show that this same special honor given to Mary is also given to every believer in Christ. The message reassures believers that they share in a position of divine honor, intimacy, and acceptance because of Jesus.
In this teaching, Pastors Leonard and Lori Rola reveal three powerful truths found at the very beginning of the Gospel of Luke: favor, faith, and power. Through the story of Mary, they show that every believer is highly favored by God, not just a select few. They explain how true faith comes by hearing God’s living word, not by human effort. Finally, they remind believers that the same Holy Spirit who overshadowed Mary now lives within them, empowering them to live from rest, victory, and grace.
In this teaching, Pastors Leonard and Lori Rola share a powerful message about entering into God’s rest and ceasing from self-effort. They explain how unbelief and distorted self-image kept Israel wandering, while faith allows believers to enjoy what Christ has already finished. The message emphasizes that rest is not passivity but trusting fully in God’s completed work. Listeners are encouraged to stop striving, stop earning, and begin living from a place of rest, confidence, and union with Christ.
This sermon teaches that when Jesus spoke about denying ourselves and losing our lives for His sake, He was not calling us to suffer or give up the joys of life. Instead, He was showing that true life comes only through His finished work and through grace. When we believe in Jesus, we are united with Him in His death and resurrection — dying to sin and the law, and rising into newness of life where sin no longer has dominion over us. God guarded the tree of life not to keep us out, but to preserve the way back through Christ alone. In Jesus, we find victory, righteousness, and a life of freedom empowered by His love within us.
This sermon teaches that grace is Jesus Himself. Grace isn’t merely undeserved favor, but the living presence of Jesus in us, working even when we don’t fully understand it. Pastor Leonard and Pastor Lori share real-life testimonies demonstrating that God’s grace is always active, always helping, always empowering. They stress that our natural challenges do not cancel spiritual truth — God causes all things to work together for our good.
Pastors Leonard and Lori teach that God does not put the burden on us to change ourselves. Instead, God initiates, executes, and completes His work inside us. The covenant of grace is entirely based on Jesus’ finished work, not our efforts. When we stop trying to qualify ourselves by works and believe, we remove the veil that blocks us from seeing who we already are in Christ. God is the master artist shaping us to look exactly like Jesus and our only role is to believe and stay unveiled.
In “THE EXACT GRACE,” Pastor Leonard Rola teaches that the same grace that operated in Jesus, Paul, Peter, and every great believer throughout history is the exact same grace given to every Christian today. He emphasizes the overwhelming love of God demonstrated through Jesus, the Lamb of God who took away the sin of the world, and shows that God Himself initiates, executes, and completes the good work in every believer. Through praise, worship, and revelation by the Holy Spirit, believers grow in understanding this grace and walk in the identity God has already established in Christ. The message reassures believers that grace never fails, God’s kingdom is advancing, and every believer is…
