✝️ Deny Yourself, Take Up Your Cross: Following Jesus Without Turning Back Deny Yourself and Take Up Your Cross Pastor Melly taught that Jesus' command to deny yourself and take up your cross is one of the most quoted, yet most misunderstood, teachings in Scripture. The message emphasized that following Christ is not about enduring life's hardships alone. It is about willingly surrendering ourselves to God's will every day. Burdens Are Not the Cross Many Christians mistakenly believe that their cross is their illness, financial struggle, difficult marriage, or personal hardship. Pastor Melly explained that these are burdens, not the cross Jesus described. A burden is something that happens to us. God gives grace to help us carry those burdens. A cross, however, is something we willingly choose because of our commitment to Jesus Christ. Carrying the cross is an intentional act of obedience and discipleship. This misunderstanding often develops because believers repeat famili...

💖 Father's Day Message   Date: June 21, 2026 Speaker: Sister Alex Jesus Is the Way to the Father Bible Verse John 14:6 – "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.'" Main Points Jesus is the only way to the Father The sermon began by emphasizing that Jesus is not merely one option among many paths to God. He is the only way to the Father. Every father who desires to lead his family according to God's will must first come to God through Jesus Christ. The foundation of godly fatherhood begins with salvation and a personal relationship with Christ. Fathers need God in order to lead well Many fathers attempt to carry the burdens of life, marriage, and parenting on their own. Sister Alex stressed that fathers were never designed to do life independently from God. Fathers need God's wisdom, strength, direction, and guidance. A father who relies only on himself will eventually become exhausted, bu...

Click above or this link for audio  https://youtu.be/IpTuIRcF7iw   Opening Scripture Matthew 24:3–14 is the foundation scripture. Jesus warns about deception, wars, famines, earthquakes, persecution, betrayal, false prophets, and lawlessness. The key promise: those who endure to the end will be saved. Prophecy and Current Events Current world events reflect the signs Jesus described. Examples include wars, hunger crises, earthquakes, persecution, social division, and false teaching. These signs confirm the need for spiritual readiness. Spiritual Readiness Endurance means staying faithful to Jesus daily. Believers should not live in fear or panic. Jesus calls His people to be ready, holy, loving, and hopeful. Background of Matthew 24 Jesus spoke these words shortly before the cross. The disciples were troubled by His prophecy about the temple’s destruction. Jesus warned first against deception because fear can make people vulnerable. Enduring Through Christ’s Strength Believers...

Core Message Be honest with God about what is hurting you. Stop making excuses for sin. Guard your mind before temptation grows. Let trusted men hold you accountable. Sin grows stronger when it stays hidden. Scripture Focus Renew and guard your mind with Scripture. Stay alert, stand strong, and walk by the Spirit. Confess honestly, seek accountability, and focus on Christ. Reflection What sin am I protecting? Am I guarding my mind, or allowing temptation to enter? Who can lovingly confront me when I begin to drift? Am I making excuses or getting honest with God? Key Truths You cannot think like the world and live strong for God. One small thought can become a big trap. A man falls slowly when he stops watching. What you keep watching will start shaping you. You cannot feed temptation and expect freedom. An open door makes temptation easier to enter. Sin gets stronger when it stays hidden. A focused man is harder for the devil to pull off course. Closing Charge Stop hiding sin. Guard yo...

🛐Are You Ignoring God’s Warning? Here's the Idea God’s Word must be taken personally, not treated as if it is only for someone else. Ignoring God’s warning can cause a person to miss rescue. Comfort, busyness, pride, and delay can make the heart slow to repent. A person can miss God’s rescue by ignoring one clear warning from Scripture or the Holy Spirit. Spiritual Readiness — Matthew 24:42 Jesus said to watch because no one knows when He is coming. Believers should not live carelessly as if they have unlimited time. Christ will surely return, so the heart must remain awake and alert. The proper response is to live ready, humble, obedient, and spiritually watchful. Wrong Voices — 2 Peter 3:3–4 Scripture warns that scoffers will mock the promise of Christ’s return. Laughing at truth does not make truth false. Wrong voices can weaken faith and make sin easier to excuse. Believers must reject voices that pull them away from surrender and obedience. Spiritual Sleep — 1 Thessalonians 5...

🔥🔥🔥 Standing in the Last Days: Persevering Through End-Time Tribulation by Putting on the Whole Armor of God Opening Emphasis: The Seriousness of the End Times Pastor Burns begins by stressing that believers must understand the times and seasons. He references 1 Thessalonians 5 as the foundation for teaching about the return of the Lord. He explains that Paul was writing to believers who were concerned about loved ones who had died before Christ’s return. The teaching emphasizes that the return of the Lord must be taken seriously because believers do not want to miss it. Understanding Tribulation and the Wrath of God Pastor Burns distinguishes between general tribulation and the final seven-year tribulation. He teaches that believers have always experienced tribulation through suffering, persecution, attacks on the body, attacks on the mind, and family struggles. He explains that the final tribulation is different because it is the wrath of God and involves the rise of the Antichri...

🙏 Sunday Service on May 31, 2026 Persevering in the End Times Sermon Series Overview Over the past eight weeks, the sermon series titled "Persevering in the End Times" has been taught to remind believers of what God expects during a period of global turmoil and chaos. Faithful living, standing firm, and walking according to God's ways rather than worldly desires are presented as the core expectations for believers during this period. Luke chapter 21 verses 25 through 36 serves as the foundational scripture, describing signs in the sun, moon, and stars, distress among nations, and the coming of the Son of Man in power and glory. Believers are instructed to look up and lift their heads when these signs begin to occur, as their redemption draws near. The parable of the fig tree is referenced to illustrate that just as budding trees signal the nearness of summer, visible signs signal the nearness of the Kingdom of God. The Call to Spiritual Vigilance and Watchfulness Jesus...

🖥️  Bible Session on AI with Minister Wayne The Distinction Between God’s Likeness and God-Likeness Genesis 3:4–5 serves as a foundational passage, where the serpent tempts Eve by promising that eating the forbidden fruit would make her “like God, knowing good and evil.” This moment introduces a critical distinction: humanity was created in the image and likeness of God, but was never intended to become God-like in essence or authority. Adam and Eve, though created in divine likeness, were spiritually immature. They walked with God but did not yet fully understand His nature, making them susceptible to deception. The serpent’s temptation was not an invitation to something entirely new, but a distortion of something already given. This deception mirrors Satan’s own rebellion. Unlike humanity, Satan was not created in God’s image, yet he desired to be like God. Humanity, already bearing God’s likeness, was tempted to exceed its created purpose. Since the fall, this impulse has persi...

📖 Preparing Through Prophecy and the Word Outline Persevering in the End Times Series Overview A sermon series titled "Persevering in the End Times" is being taught with the goal of helping the congregation understand that humanity is living on borrowed time Emphasis is placed on the urgency of being the church rather than merely playing church, as a global system is actively being constructed by powerful individuals who are unknowingly preparing the way for the Antichrist Daniel Chapter 7 Verses 15 Through 26 and the Four Kingdoms Daniel's vision of four beasts is identified as representing four successive world empires, namely Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome The first three kingdoms have already passed, while the fourth kingdom, Rome, is described as sleeping and destined to rise again in a new form The statue vision from Daniel chapter 2, featuring a head of gold, chest and arms of silver, belly and thighs of bronze, and legs of iron, is used to map these empir...
