Overcoming life’s storms

Rozita shares a message from Luke 8:22-25. This sermon distills the story of Jesus calming the storm into three lessons: the limits of human ability, the revelation of God’s sovereign character, and the preparation for divine mission. Through personal testimonies of chronic illness and bereavement, Rozita encourages the faithful to trust Christ’s presence in their “boat.”

Deeper relationship with God

The sermon distinguishes between intellectual religious knowledge and spiritual intimacy. By examining the Tabernacle and Israel’s fear of God’s voice, Brother Elias argues that Christ tore the veil to grant direct access to the “third room” of love. True faith requires active appropriation of grace and a heart-to-heart connection.

The Lord who reigns over everything

Christ’s Kingship

This Palm Sunday sermon explores the transformative power of acknowledging God’s kingship. By contrasting earthly power with Christ’s humble yet absolute sovereignty, the preacher argues that true praise is not a duty but a recognition that every difficulty is under God’s feet, enabling believers to overcome through faith.

Joy of the Lord

The sermon teaches that the “joy of the Lord” is a choice and a source of strength, not a result of favorable circumstances. By rejoicing in God’s sovereignty and character during trials, believers facilitate miracles, mold their character, and find the strength to overcome the enemy’s attacks.

The Love of God is Foolish

It calls the congregation to move from discouragement to victory by trusting in the “Great I Am” and resting in His love.

Remembering Jesus

This bilingual sermon explores the “Great Exchange” at Golgotha, where Jesus took on humanity’s sin, curse, and isolation to provide righteousness, blessing, and reconciliation.

Praise – Psalm 47

Edward Hovsepian Mehr delivers a powerful testimony on the transformative power of praise.

Thanksgiving

This bilingual sermon explores the transformative power of praise.
