Hovan delivers a farewell sermon in English, which is simultaneously translated into Armenian. The message serves as both a theological teaching on the “Great Commission” and a personal announcement regarding Hovan and Pegah’s transition to Dallas for church planting training.
The sermon explores the “Innocent Condemned,” using The Green Mile to illustrate Christ’s sacrificial journey. It details the physical and emotional agony of the cross—loneliness, ridicule, and pain—while highlighting its triumph: the “Paid in Full” redemption. Believers are called to daily, humble cross-bearing, promising ultimate victory through endurance.
This bilingual sermon explores the life of Andrew, the “average” disciple with an extraordinary heart for evangelism. By examining Andrew’s knowledgeable, magnetized, selfless, optimistic, and expansive heart, Brother Charles encourages the congregation to find their greatest joy in the simple, daily act of bringing others to Jesus Christ.
The sermon explores the necessity of having a singular, Christ-centered purpose. Drawing from Philippians 3 and modern testimonies of persecuted believers, Brother Edward argues that knowing Jesus is a “treasure” worth any cost. Believers are urged to discard worldly gains and “press on” toward spiritual maturity and resurrection power.
The sermon explores the biblical definition of friendship, contrasting worldly selfishness with the sacrificial love of Christ and the covenant between David and Jonathan. Brother Babgen calls for the church to reject internal conflict, urging members to foster a welcoming, loyal environment where they sharpen and sacrifice for one another.
This bilingual sermon explores the Great Commission, urging believers to move past fear and shyness to make disciples. It emphasizes that the church is a mission-field for non-members, supported by Christ’s eternal presence. Practical methods for witnessing and the importance of baptism as an act of obedience are highlighted.
Continuing the series on the Beatitudes, the sermon frames Jesus’ teachings as a practical “prescription” for discipleship. After reviewing the internal qualities of a believer and the reality of persecution, the message pivots to the believer’s external impact, specifically the call to be the “light of the world.”
