Gary Wilkerson delves into the profound message of Psalm 40, emphasizing that God's love is unwavering, especially when we find ourselves in the depths of despair and need. He illustrates how God's grace lifts us from our struggles, providing a renewed sense of purpose and direction. Through personal anecdotes and biblical references, Gary encourages Christians to embrace their identity as beloved children of God, irrespective of their circumstances, and to trust in His plans for their lives.

Joshua West delves into the concluding verses of 1 John, highlighting the unshakeable promises that God has given to believers. By examining 1 John 5:13-21, the sermon emphasizes the certainty of eternal life for those who believe in Jesus Christ, the assurance that God hears and answers prayers according to His will, and the victory over sin that believers should experience. The message encourages Christians to anchor their lives in these eternal truths, ensuring they remain steadfast amidst life's uncertainties and to guard against idolatry.

In this transformative sermon Gary Wilkerson delves into Psalm 39, discussing the relationship between shame and anger. He emphasizes that unresolved shame often leads to anger and turmoil in relationships. He encourages Christians to bring their shame and anger before God, allowing Him to heal their hearts and replace those negative emotions with joy and peace. He reminds us that life is short and should be spent pursuing growth, maturity, and loving others deeply, rather than remaining stuck in cycles of conflict.

In this exhortative sermon, Joshua West explains that those who genuinely believe that Jesus is the Christ and Son of God are born of God and will overcome the world. He outlines three key evidences of being born of God: confessing Jesus as the Christ, loving God and fellow believers, and obeying God's commandments out of love rather than burden. Christians overcome the world not by their own works, but through faith in Christ's completed work on the cross. Joshua West also highlights the unique testimony of the Spirit, water, and blood that affirms Jesus' divinity and sacrificial death. Eternal life is found exclusively in Jesus Christ, and those who put their faith in Him will lose their life for His sake but ultimately gain true, everlasting life.

In this sermon, Gary Wilkerson discusses how the devil accuses and deceives us, leading to feelings of worthlessness and inadequacy. He emphasizes the importance of being aware of these attacks, rejecting the lies, and instead agreeing with and affirming what God says about our value, purpose, and identity in Christ. Gary encourages Christians to spend time with Jesus, allowing His truth to heal their hearts and enable them to live out their calling to love and serve others.

In this powerful sermon, Joshua West exhorts the church to preach the complete gospel message with boldness and love. He emphasizes that the gospel is not merely about improving one's life but about being spiritually reborn through faith in Jesus Christ. The church must elevate the holiness of God, the grievousness of sin, and the power of God's grace to transform lives. As believers live out their faith and share the truth of Christ, they become the aroma of life to those being saved and the aroma of death to those who reject the gospel. Joshua challenges Christians to immerse themselves in God's presence and go out as the hands and feet of Jesus with a sense of urgency for the perishing world around them.

In this sermon, John Bailey uses the story of David and Goliath to illustrate Jesus' overwhelming victory over sin, death, and the powers of darkness. His triumph should inspire Christians to step out in faith, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and pursue the lost in their city. The church must go beyond its walls, showing genuine love and concern for those hurting and in need of the gospel. Let's pray for opportunities to share Jesus with others and evangelize our communities.
