    Pastor Dan preached that Christ alone is the believer's strength, confidence, and sufficiency. From Colossians 2:1–10, he warned against false teachers who distract from Christ and burden people with manmade traditions, urging the church instead to stay rooted, built up, and thankful in Jesus—because in Him “the whole fullness of deity dwells,” and He is all we need. His call was simple and strong: cling to Christ alone and reject every teaching that shifts your focus from Him. #ChristAlone #RootedInChrist #StandFirmInTheFaith #ThankfulInChrist

    Brother Luke's sermon focused on forgiveness as a central aspect of worship and a heart touched by grace. He emphasized that forgiveness is not optional but a command, reflecting the mercy we've received from God. Through the historical example of George Wiseheart, who forgave his persecutors even in the face of death, Luke highlighted that true forgiveness stems from recognizing our own unpayable debt to God and mirroring the mercy we've been given. Jesus' teaching in Matthew 6:14–15 shows that forgiveness is a posture of the heart, not a transaction, and that we cannot withhold forgiveness if we've truly experienced God's grace.#Forgiveness #Grace #Mercy #Lord'sPrayer #HeartOfWorship #Matthew6 #GeorgeWiseheart #ChristianLife

Luke illustrated this with historical examples from John Wesley and David Livingston, showing how prayer fuels revival and transforms lives.
