Overcomers

In a world of brokenness, it’s easy to lose hope for better days. However, Christians have always placed in a specific time and place for God’s purposes. Do you believe you have a vital role to play in the spiritual battle we face? Do you believe in the promises of God, and that the gates of hell will not prevail, that we are victors in Christ? Wherever you find yourself in life, you are purposed, you are equipped and empowered to be victorious for God’s mission. So take courage. Join the fight. We are overcomers.

In his sermon, Pastor Edward addressed the common struggle with temptation, assuring his congregation that believers are divinely equipped to overcome it. He explained that while temptation is a universal experience, God provides a way of escape, allowing us to endure rather than give in. Ultimately, Pastor Edward emphasized that our victory is found in our faith in Jesus, who has already conquered sin and temptation on our behalf.

In his sermon, Jason addresses the theme of suffering, challenging the notion that a life of faith should be free from hardship. He uses the book of Habakkuk to show that trials, rather than signifying God's absence, can deepen one's faith and foster reliance on Him. The sermon concludes with a message of hope that believers can trust in God's plan and find assurance in Jesus, knowing that all suffering will eventually cease.

Pastor Ryan highlights the ongoing need for repentance in a believer's life, emphasizing that it's not just a one-time act for salvation but a continuous process for sanctification. He clarifies that while Christ's sacrifice justifies us, ongoing repentance deepens our understanding of sin and magnifies our appreciation for God's grace. Pastor Kwon concludes that true repentance involves humbly acknowledging our sinfulness while embracing God's immense love and willingness to forgive, leading to genuine heart transformation.

Pastor Christopher stresses the vital role of community and encouragement in overcoming sin and spiritual stagnation. He explains that believers must actively support one another through comfort, correction, and courage to maintain faithfulness and avoid being hardened by sin.

This sermon focuses on how Jesus desires all aspects of our being (body, mind, and soul) and offers complete forgiveness for past, present, and future sins through reconciliation. The message emphasizes that while we were still sinners and enemies of God, Christ died for us, offering freedom from sin's bondage and a restored relationship with God, in contrast to worldly pursuits (wealth, approval, control) that ultimately leave us empty.

Pastor Ryan highlights the deceptive and predatory nature of sin, using the story of Cain and Abel to emphasize the constant spiritual struggle a true Christian must face. He contrasts the blood of Abel's call for justice with the blood of Jesus's offer of forgiveness, urging listeners to commit to full devotion and genuine repentance to find true reconciliation with God.

Pastor Jason addresses spiritual stagnation, framing it as a normal part of a believer's journey rather than a personal failure. He encourages the congregation to view these periods as opportunities for growth and to combat them through community, spiritual practices, and a renewed commitment to personal development and mission.
