Thanksgiving

This bilingual sermon explores the transformative power of praise. Through personal testimony of grief and biblical examples like Paul and Silas, Brother Edward demonstrates that praising God’s sovereignty—rather than complaining about circumstances—triggers miracles, defeats spiritual enemies, and accelerates answers to prayer. Praise is the ultimate sign of trust in God’s control.

Return of Christ

The sermon contrasts the Age of Law with the Age of Grace, using Titus 2 to illustrate that salvation through Christ demands a transformed life. Emphasizing the “blessed hope” of Christ’s return, the Brother Hamburtsam calls for spiritual alertness, holy living, and a commitment to being “zealous for good deeds.”

Practical change

The sermon defines God’s primary work as transformation: conforming believers to the likeness of Christ. Using the “Year of Change” theme, Brother Edward outlines practical steps—listing goals, embracing humility, reconciling with others, and persevering through failure—to move “from glory to glory” by relying on the Holy Spirit’s power.
