Outline

The message in plain words, in the order it unfolds. Select a time to jump the video to that moment.

Opening songs of praiseThe congregation engages in several songs of worship, celebrating the power, love, and name of Jesus Christ.

Focusing our attention on the KingThe speaker encourages the believers to intentionally set aside all distractions and become conscious of the presence of the Lord.

Reflecting on God's faithfulness in Psalm 111The speaker reads from Psalm 111, highlighting God's great works, His justice, and the importance of fearing Him as the beginning of wisdom.

The necessity of parental disciplineParents must firmly discipline their children to curb their rebellious nature, as failing to teach obedience to parents can lead to a lifetime of disobedience to God.

Scriptural examples of parental influenceUsing the lives of Noah, David, and Hannah, the speaker illustrates how both godly upbringing and a lack of discipline can shape the spiritual destiny of children.

The unpopularity of the true GospelTrue servants of God often face misunderstanding and unpopularity because they preach the whole truth, much like Jesus was rejected by those closest to him.

Jesus lived according to His Father's timingJesus refused to go to Judea at His brothers' request because He would only move when His Father commanded Him to go.

Why the world hates those who stand for biblical truthThe world hates those who expose unbiblical practices because they hold to the standard of Scripture rather than human convenience.John 7:7

God's protection over His appointed timeNo harm can come to a person before their appointed time, as seen when Jesus escaped those trying to throw Him off a cliff because His hour had not yet come.

A desperate thirst for the Holy SpiritUsing the analogy of a dying man willing to pay any price for water, the speaker explains that true spiritual power comes when we are willing to give up everything to be filled with the Spirit.

The principle of being filled with the SpiritJust as the early church was born through people being filled with the Spirit, the speaker shares how his own ministry and CFC were built on this same pursuit.

The enduring testimony of ChristThe speaker reflects on the unique spirit found in CFC, which is not about a building but a lasting testimony of Jesus that acts as a fragrance to all who encounter it.

The power of being a witness to the resurrectionTrue witnessing is not just about seeing historical events, but about the Holy Spirit enabling us to manifest the presence and life of Jesus to others.Acts 2:32

What are you looking forward to in the new year?Instead of seeking only blessings, healing, or personal success, we should ask if the Gospel itself has become our most valuable treasure.2 Timothy 2:8

A prayer for the future of the churchThe speaker concludes by praying that the next generation will preserve the spirit of the church through a commitment to Christ's truth.
