"Guilty Until Proven Innocent" preached by Pastors Spencer and Treaster emphasizes the inherent sinfulness of humanity and the necessity of repentance. Their message underscores that all individuals are guilty before a just God and deserve punishment.

Following Jesus' example, you must lead by personal discipleship, building a faith community that is relentless in its assault on sin. God is both creator and destroyer, and you must embody this dual nature, maintaining constant vigilance in your battle for holiness. Be a warrior for God, ruthlessly pursuing holiness and inspiring others to do the same.
In the sermon "A Fleshly Heart," we were confronted with humanity's relentless pull towards sin, starting with Adam and Eve's catastrophic temptation.

We were challenged to scrutinize our heart, fight for righteousness, and strive for a heart that is passionately responsive to God and His ways.
