Fear

This session appears to be a service or conference gathering, featuring various announcements and worship segments. The core message conveyed through the songs and prayers emphasizes remembering the eternal things, seeking eternal life, and acknowledging Jesus Christ's saving power, victory over sin and death, and constant care for believers.

The sermon emphasizes that God desires trust during times of trouble, referencing Psalm 50 which teaches that calling upon Him in difficulty is more important than sacrifices. Furthermore, the speaker stresses that enduring unjust suffering patiently brings favor with God, drawing assurance from Jesus' teachings that God cares for every individual, comparing humanity's value to sparrows and the hairs on our heads.

The speaker discusses various aspects of Christian living, including the necessity of humble service, using the example of foot washing as a non-ritualistic act of service. He advises that for fellowship, starting small in a home is ideal, with online participation being a good second option. Regarding fasting and prayer, announcing these times is acceptable as long as the motive is pleasing to God, not seeking human honor. Finally, he clarifies that New Testament prophecy is not about predicting the future but about building up, challenging, and comforting the hearers.

The service is a worship session focused on praising God for His eternal faithfulness and glory. The message emphasizes that true worth is found not in earthly accomplishments but in the sacrifice of Christ on the cross. The speakers also pray for the church to be devoted solely to worship, and for God's power to break the spiritual bondage and works of Satan in individuals, marriages, and homes.

The sermon emphasizes building an unshakeable life by basing one's foundation on Jesus' words and actively obeying them. Drawing from Matthew 7, the speaker stresses that merely hearing Jesus' teachings is insufficient; one must act on them, such as forgiving others and making amends, to avoid a life that will crumble under pressure. The core message is that obedience to Christ's commands is the only way to remain steadfast through life's inevitable storms.

The speaker emphasizes that one must live according to God's will rather than out of fear of what others might think or say. He draws lessons from Jesus's refusal to go to Judea when his brothers pressured him, highlighting that true obedience comes from listening to the Lord, not from external pressure. The message warns against hypocrisy, which is defined as outwardly appearing one way while inwardly being another, and encourages believers to be honest and true to God's calling.

The speaker cautions against misusing scripture, citing Psalm 91 as an example of how the devil attempted to use God's Word against Jesus. He emphasizes that while God's Word is true, its application must align with God's ultimate desire and purpose, not merely personal desire or hope. True assurance comes from understanding that God's word will accomplish what He intends, as seen in Isaiah 55, and that our focus must remain on God's purpose rather than claiming verses for personal comfort.

The sermon focuses on the concept of God keeping a book of remembrance for those who fear Him and are His true jewels. It encourages believers to live lives characterized by reverence for God and faithfulness, knowing that their devotion is recorded and remembered by Him. This remembrance serves as an encouragement to remain steadfast in their relationship with the Lord.

The message contrasts the fearful depictions of other deities with the true nature of the biblical God, who is characterized by overwhelming love. The speaker emphasizes that God's love is so profound that He chose humanity for eternal life through Jesus Christ, even before the creation of the world. This divine love is demonstrated by God's actions, such as commanding believers to love one another only after He first loved us.

The speaker warns that the greatest danger lies with those who have been in the church and know the Lord the longest, urging constant self-examination. He uses the Centurion's faith—who felt unworthy to even have Jesus visit—as a model, contrasting it with the complacency of those who assume their long attendance guarantees salvation. The central message is to maintain genuine gratitude and recognize that salvation requires a fresh, humble faith, not just routine attendance.

The speaker emphasizes the biblical principle that believers are commanded not to be anxious, pointing to First Peter 5:6-7 as a remedy. The core message is that overcoming anxiety requires actively humbling oneself and casting all burdens onto God because He is powerful enough to handle everything. The sermon also uses the analogy of labor pains to describe the process leading up to spiritual rebirth.

The service focused on exalting Jesus Christ as the only Sovereign Lord, calling the congregation to worship and acknowledge His supreme reign. The speaker led the group in a deep prayer of repentance, asking for forgiveness for allowing other ambitions to take the place of Christ's reign in their hearts. The prayer concluded with consecrating their lives as a living sacrifice, asking for the Holy Spirit to glorify Jesus and praying for healing and God's provision.

The speaker warns against spiritual complacency, using scripture to caution that those who become lukewarm risk falling away, much like a boat drifting without an anchor. He emphasizes that believers are called to be untainted witnesses in the world, interacting with people who are struggling with hidden pain. Ultimately, the lasting impact of a godly life is that even those who don't follow may remember the witness and experience a spiritual turning point later.

The speaker argues that many Christians have missed the 'overcoming life,' confusing mere forgiveness of sins with the deeper reality of partaking in the glory of Christ. He emphasizes that true discipleship requires moving beyond a comfortable, defeated state to actively seeking God with all one's heart, which necessitates a second repentance—turning away from a lazy, complacent Christian life. The ultimate goal is not just escaping hell, but achieving abundant life by overcoming sin through persistent seeking.

The speaker urges the audience to be bold in their witness for Christ, comparing the fear of man to the boldness of Jesus on the cross. He recounts his own struggle with fear, realizing that true discipleship requires being willing to proclaim Christ openly, even when facing ridicule. The central message is that genuine spiritual power comes not from special gifts, but from the courage to live openly as a disciple, mirroring the boldness of the early church after Pentecost.

The sermon emphasizes that God recompenses us according to how we treat others, urging listeners to be kind, blameless, pure, and to forsake all deceit. The central message is that 2025 is proclaimed as the 'Year of Jubilee,' a time of freedom from any bondage—whether in sin, anxiety, or relationship struggles—because the Spirit of the Lord is present in the church to proclaim release to the captives.

The central message emphasizes that parents, especially fathers, have the primary responsibility to diligently teach their children the principles of God's word throughout their daily lives. This teaching must be constant, covering all times—waking, sleeping, walking, and sitting—to ensure the children value God's word. Neglecting this duty allows the devil to sow bad seeds, leading to a poor harvest in the children's lives.

The central message is that Christians are protected in their salvation by the combined power of God and their own faith. The speaker emphasizes that God's power, demonstrated by raising Christ from the dead, is available to protect our salvation. This power is perfected in weakness, requiring us to exercise persistent faith, exemplified by crying out to the Lord day and night, and to be persistent in prayer for others.

The speaker encourages the audience to memorize and deeply believe Psalm 91, emphasizing that true security comes from dwelling permanently in the 'secret place of the most high.' This dwelling is not just for times of trouble but should be a constant state of abiding in God's presence, mirroring the faith shown by trusting God even when circumstances are dire. Ultimately, the goal is to live continually in this secret place, seeking to behold God's glory and meditate on His presence daily.

The central message is that true peace and stability come from placing all expectations and needs solely on God, rather than on people. The speaker warns against trusting in mankind or expecting others to fulfill our needs, as this leads to disappointment and sin. By grounding our lives in God's unwavering love, we become immune to the emotional turmoil caused by the fluctuating opinions or actions of others.

The speaker discusses the root cause of many sins and relational difficulties in Christians, comparing it to the insecurity felt by orphans. This deep-seated insecurity, which stems from a loss of perfect intimacy with God (like Adam losing God in Eden), leads to jealousy, possessiveness, and an inability to accept rebuke. The message ultimately points to the power and sufficiency found in Jesus' name and the reality of Christ's sacrifice.

The speaker warns against the subtle danger of unbelief, which is defined not as doubting Christ's work, but doubting God's promises and words concerning one's life. Drawing parallels from David's self-despair before God's promises were fulfilled, the message emphasizes that those who walk with Jesus and keep His commandments can be certain that God's Word concerning them will come to pass, regardless of current difficulties.

The sermon emphasizes understanding the purpose of suffering, noting that while suffering affects all, the godly use it as an opportunity for God to accomplish His purpose. The speaker outlines three key lessons: God's power defends His church, God's suffering reveals His heart (which is that no one should perish), and suffering builds patience. Ultimately, believers are encouraged to rest in God's hand during trials, knowing He will not allow them to be tempted beyond what they can bear.

The central message is that believers must obey the promptings of the Holy Spirit immediately, just as the body must obey the head. Jesus' peace is available when we follow His guidance, which is contrasted with the world's spirit controlled by Satan. Consistent obedience in small matters leads to receiving God's word and peace, while disobedience causes us to ignore divine direction.
