Being led by the Holy Spirit

Brother Edward explores the necessity of being led by the Holy Spirit. He argues that God’s will is for our benefit, driven by His superior knowledge of the future. True guidance requires an obedient heart, sincere desire, and the total surrender of personal agendas to God’s perfect plan.

Expectations of the Lord

The sermon advocates for a faith rooted in the person of Jesus Christ rather than His blessings. Using biblical and contemporary examples, Brother Edward argues that seeking miracles without seeking God leads to a shallow, “sandy” foundation. True spiritual maturity is found in loving and worshipping God unconditionally.

The Power of Love

This bilingual sermon explores the “Power of Love” as a transformative force that heals the body, overcomes enemies, and ensures eternal life. By synthesizing various Biblical examples, Brother Ivan argues that love is the engine of faith and the only permanent spiritual reality that remains when all else fades.

Does what I do make me what I am?

This bilingual sermon explores the loss of authority, security, and belonging following the Fall in Genesis. Brother Elias argues that human identity is not found in status or performance, but in a restored relationship with Christ. He concludes with practical affirmations to help believers internalize their worth as children of God.

What does God expect of us?

This bilingual sermon distills the doctrine of justification by grace. By contrasting the “baby” who is enslaved to elemental laws with the “mature son” who inherits God’s presence, Lisa argues that holiness is not a result of human effort but a “contagious” quality received by abiding in Christ.

Waiting rooms

The sermon, “Waiting Room,” uses Psalm 40 to teach that waiting is a purposeful spiritual discipline. By contrasting David’s trials with God’s eventual deliverance, Brother Joseph encourages the congregation to trust God’s timing, shifting focus from their painful circumstances to God’s active, transformative power in their lives.

Spiritual Winds that Believers must Overcome

This bilingual sermon (English/Armenian) identifies three “winds”—doubt, false doctrine, and trouble—that test the believer. Brother Elias emphasizes that victory is found not through physical effort, but through the “transport system” of meditation, which moves God’s promises from intellectual head-knowledge into the heart, where faith becomes a natural, unconscious byproduct.

Church attendance

The sermon calls for a shift in attitude toward church attendance and stewardship. By viewing the church as Christ’s Bride and Body, believers must demonstrate respect through punctuality, prayerful preparation, and financial tithing. True relationship with God is inseparable from active, responsible participation in the local church community.

Church: Co-workers with the Lord

The sermon explores the “co-worker” relationship between the believer and God. Using 1 Corinthians 3:9, it argues that while God is sovereign, He requires human obedience and action in salvation, holiness, and ministry. Believers must accept their high status and fulfill their specific duties to see God’s power manifested.

Building a people of power

The sermon exhorts believers to build their lives on the foundation of Jesus Christ using “gold, silver, and precious stones”—prayer, scripture, and committed fellowship. Using the metaphor of refining metals, the preacher warns that only spiritual investments will withstand the inevitable trials and final judgment of God.

Exodus

This bilingual sermon explores the Red Sea crossing as a blueprint for modern faith. It posits that God intentionally orchestrates “impossible” crises to exhaust human logic, thereby revealing His glory. The core message: when human strength is spent, God’s power is manifested through stillness and the Cross.

God’s word

Brother George exhorts the congregation to move from spiritual infancy to maturity (Telos). By grounding themselves in daily scripture and prayer, believers must move beyond elementary foundations to achieve “wholeness” in Christ, trusting that God provides the specific strength needed for every stage and burden of life.

Broken relationships

Drawing on 30 years of legal experience, Michael Sookias argues that human courts cannot fix broken hearts. He posits that relational breakdown stems from disobedience to God. True reconciliation requires repenting of one’s own sin and viewing difficult individuals as divine instruments for spiritual refinement and maturity.

Trusting God

The sermon exhorts the congregation to build their lives on the unwavering Word of God rather than the “three enemies of faith”: physical appearances, deceptive feelings, and human logic. Through personal anecdotes of healing and ministry, Brother Edward demonstrates that God’s power operates independently of human moods or intellectual understanding.

Father’s day

This Father’s Day sermon explores the “vibrant fellowship” of God the Father. By examining Exodus 34, Brother Sam illustrates that trusting God through worship and prayer brings supernatural protection and expanded territory. The message concludes with a call to global intercession for Iran and practical obedience to Christ’s teachings.
