GC Weekly Sermons

Stan preached about how God moves through human systems to accomplish His will. When fear stops the work, the Word of God restarts it, because faith comes from His word. God's word reunites, restores, and ensures than no opposition can stop His plans.

Greig took us through the book of Ezra and highlighted that whenever God begins a season of renewal, opposition quickly follows. Satan entices God's people with subtle distortion, then attacks through discouragement, fear, accusation and intimidation to delay God's work. Yet these very tactics become opportunities for spiritual warfare, and even delays are used by God to build discipline and prepares us for the next season.
