Extended Sermons

“Warns against entering ministry without prayer, preparation,  and spiritual grounding” → Prayer is not a secondary part of the work, but the very foundation on which the work depends. Before the disciples were sent out, they first had to learn that the mission belongs to God, not to them. Prayer keeps the servant dependent on the Lord, sensitive to His direction, and strengthened by His power. Without prayer, ministry can quickly become driven by human effort, personal strategy, or outward activity. But through prayer, we acknowledge that only God can open hearts, provide workers, create opportunities, and bring lasting fruit. Therefore, every act of service, every missionary endeavor, and every Gospel conversation should begin, continue, and end in prayer.

“Even today, we may not be able to heal people miraculously, but we can help them confront their demons behind their—harmful habits, behaviors, addictions; anger, and false beliefs. We may not be able to heal every sickness and disease, but we can restore dignity, identity, and belonging.” → You know someone who is struggling with anger, they don’t just need correction — they need healing from the shame, fear, or past trauma fueling it.
