As you begin this day, take a moment to acknowledge God's presence with you. He is here, He is for you, and He is on your side. There is an invitation to seek Him and experience the fullness of joy that is found in His presence. Open your heart to receive from the wells of salvation with joy, knowing that He desires to do great things in your midst. He wants to give you everything He has for you. [24:10]
Psalm 16:11 (NKJV)
You will show me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
Reflection: What is one specific way you can intentionally acknowledge God's presence and invite His joy into your daily activities today?
Communion is a powerful point of contact, connecting the natural with the supernatural. Just as Jesus instructed a blind man to wash in the Pool of Siloam, leading to his sight being restored, so too can we approach the elements of communion. When you partake of the bread, consider it a point of contact for receiving healing in your body. When you drink the cup, let it be a point of contact for receiving cleansing and forgiveness. Remember, the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, ready to give life to your mortal body. [27:30]
1 Corinthians 11:23-26 (NKJV)
For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes.
Reflection: What specific area of your life, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual, are you invited to present to God for supernatural life and healing through Christ's sacrifice?
Everything begins with God's Word, which is the ultimate truth and standard for all things. In a world where "my truth" and "your truth" often lead to division, God's Word provides an unchanging foundation. It is the standard by which we can discern right from wrong, and it is the only way for us to truly come together. While our individual perspectives are partial, God sees everything correctly, and submitting to His higher truth brings clarity and alignment. [01:09:11]
John 1:1, 14 (NKJV)
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ... And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
Reflection: In what area of your life or understanding have you been relying on a personal perspective of "truth," and how might submitting to God's unchanging Word bring greater clarity or alignment?
In these days, it is easy to experience "crisis fatigue," a burnout from constant exposure to challenging news and events, leading to hopelessness and unmotivation. The adversary seeks to wear you down, not always with a direct attack, but by causing weariness and spiritual fatigue until you stop fighting. It is crucial to be sober and vigilant, maintaining self-control and awareness, because your enemy walks about seeking whom he may devour. Guard your heart and mind against this spiritual weariness. [01:11:10]
1 Peter 5:8 (NKJV)
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
Reflection: What specific practices or habits can you cultivate this week to guard against spiritual weariness and remain vigilant against the adversary's attempts to discourage you from your purpose?
God's dream is for the world to become a beloved community, a place where people have the power to love one another. This power comes from Jesus, enabling us to resist the desires of our flesh that often lead to conflict and harm. When we submit to Jesus and His Word, we gain the ability to "do no harm" to our neighbor, fulfilling the law through love. This commitment to love, though not always easy, is the foundation for a better world and the path to becoming a community of love. [01:24:15]
Romans 13:8-10 (NKJV)
Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
Reflection: Considering the power Jesus gives to resist the flesh, what is one practical way you can choose to "do no harm" and actively demonstrate love to a neighbor or family member this week?
The congregation is invited into a robust, joy-filled encounter with God where presence, proclamation, and practical holiness converge. Worship opens the space to receive; communion is taught as a tangible point of contact that unites natural action with supernatural effect—bread for healing, the cup for cleansing. Theological assurance is grounded in Scripture: the same Spirit that raised Christ now dwells within believers and brings life to mortal bodies, so healing and transformation are not distant promises but present realities. The primacy of the Word is emphasized—everything begins with the Word, and truth is objective, anchored in God rather than shifting human perspective. Against the cultural drift of “my truth,” the address insists on a higher standard that exposes how personal narratives can be weaponized to justify injustice.
Moral clarity is pressed home through biblical examples where power and desire substituted for righteousness—Ahab and Jezebel, David—demonstrating that might does not make right and that unchecked flesh produces harm. The call to resist the adversary’s tactic of wearing people down with crisis fatigue is urgent: spiritual maturity requires sobriety, discernment, and submission to God’s standard. Jesus is presented as the way, the truth, and the life; the vision for social renewal is the beloved community—a diverse, reconciled people practicing self-restraint and sacrificial love so that the commandments are fulfilled not by coercion but by transformed hearts.
Practically, the assembly is urged to become active participants—joining prayer lines, sharing testimonies, caring for one another—and newcomers are welcomed with an open invitation to receive forgiveness and join the family. The closing pastoral prayers break shame, grief, and regret, affirming that past failures do not bar entry into God’s future. The overall summons is both intimate and expansive: receive God’s love, yield the flesh to the Spirit, live by the Word, and embody love so the world might be remade into a community where people are safe, healed, and empowered to serve.
As we're partaking this morning, I want to encourage you to use the communion elements as a point of contact. You know, one time Jesus told a man to go wash in the Pool Of Siloam. He was a blind man. Jesus told him to go do something. He said, go wash in the pool. And when he went and he did it, it was a point of contact. When he washed his eyes with that water, his sight came. It was a point of contact that connected the supernatural with the natural. He went and did something in the natural, and it brought a supernatural a supernatural result.

So in our culture today, we have my truth and your truth, and we talked about how that came about because when when, you know, someone's trying to oppress somebody else, then they they give them a truth to believe so that they can keep on oppressing them. And then then the oppressed get a truth that's from their perspective, and that's how we get different truths. As long as we see it differently, we can always see things differently. We're gonna keep on going in different directions. But the only way to come together is to be yielded or submitted to a higher truth. God's truth. God's word.

The devil is a devourer, and the Bible says, be sober and be vigilant because your adversary is walking around. Sober means that you you you you are in control of yourself. You are self controlled. You know, like when we talk about drinking, then something is intoxicating you. Something else is making you wobble. But it doesn't have to be drinking. People can make you wobble. The bible says that you can be tossed to and fro. He says we want to become mature in Christ so that we're not tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine and the slight of hand of people. Come on.

``I was asking the lord. I said, what does what what does a better world look like? You know, I I saw all the things that are happening. I said, god, what what does a better world look like? And he said, it looks like Jesus. And it looks like love. It looks like Jesus. And it looks like love. Jesus called it the kingdom of god or the kingdom of heaven on earth. A few few weeks ago, I called it a new race. A race of born again people of different colors from different backgrounds, different different cultures.

Doctor Martin Luther King, his birthday is coming up on the fifteenth, coming up maybe, I think it's Thursday, and then they're gonna celebrate it. It's gonna be celebrated on the following Monday, the nineteenth. But doctor King called it the beloved community, a world where people have the power to love one another. See, Jesus came to give all of us power to be able to resist our flesh so that we can love our neighbor.
